Back from library - need to go again to return more books so I can borrow more

Also go to charity shop this afternoon to drop off clutter and to post box to post bracelet I made for my great aunt (well, I made to learn how, then thought it was her colours and she would like it!).

Is Clairewop here? She might like to see the piccie - or anyone else - can I post it to show you all?

I would love to see a picture!

back to looking through the threads

Brummiebabe, happy birthday to your son. I have rather fond memories of making lego at silly o;clock on Christmas morning with my brother and the Police/Firestation are :eek::eek::mad::mad::eek::mad:

Claire, glad you had a good day at the farmers market and fgot some tips on your banana loaf.

Bookie - sounds yummy!

I've been into town and got some packets of things from Holland and Barret to make my own graze box for work. Also it was buy one get one half price. So saved £8.

I've made potato cakes for tomorrow mornings breakfast and mashed down about 4 kilo of spuds for the freezer.

Now eating breadsticks dipped in philly and home made chilli jam.....yums!!

Making a chicken satay for tea....even more yums!!!

I'm nomming on some dried pineapple and drinking baby coconut water - it's meant to be more rehydrating than water!

What I wouldn't give got a bit of cake right now!

Just sampled the cake and it is rather good though I say it myself. Years since I made a cake.

I just made a normal sponge but added some diluted coffee (about 3 tblsps) instead of the milk and threw in some nuts. Then added diluted coffee to buttercream. Coffee powder would have been easier but as I only had granules I had to dilute it.
You can do the same with drinking chocolate/cocoa for a chocolate one.
