    Nor me. OH used to remember sometimes and I've never had a mystery one.
    Somebody make me move please.

    never had one from OH (insert rolleyes!!) Me and my ex used to send one to each other until the last year or so I guess when things got bad, probably still got them somewhere :o

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Aargh, I got seduced by the nappy cake thread (that sounds so wrong!). BIL & SIL expecting a baby soon and I was wondering about having a go at one of those. Anyone here tried it?

    Making a cake or a nappy cake?
    If you are making a straight cake I would stick with fondant icing - its the way to go. Like plastasine or playdough.

    Ouch! Rubs head which she banged on chair leg. Better shower and dress then.

    opened my graze box which arrived yesterday. Very happy with my second one, got wasabi peanut crackers, black pepper cashews, korean chilli rice crackers and the sunshine mix (dried strawberry, banana and raisins). Taking the time to get rid of all the stuff I wouldn't want has worked really well. I'll be cancelling after my next one (has a £1 deduction) but if anyone still hasn't tried it, give it a go.
