    While the oven was on for a cottage pie I had made and frozen the other week, I made some choc chip cookies and flapjack. I seem to be getting both these better each time I do them so worth the practice.;) Going to check for ingredients but think I may try something different in the next few days. I did go and get a loaf tin and some sultanas the other day to try a tea loaf on the os forum so might do that tomorrow
    The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T

    The tea loaf is soooo yummy. I've made 3 in the last 2 days and already have another order put in by MIL for 2 more on Monday! Got hobnobs in the oven just now from the recipe on here and am thinking maybe a carrot loaf after that? Am hooked on using my Lurpak loaf tins lol
