  • Two black ink laserjet printers.

    They are replacing some of the printers from the consulting rooms. Perfect for DD who will need a good plain printer for her coursework, and good one for us and basic home office needs, then our colour printer won't need to be used as often.
    Put the kettle on. ;)

    Gave away two packets of biscuits and a packet of salted peanuts to the boys at work. I need to go on a diet :o

    I got a great enamel baking tin from a shop that's closing down. £6 and it's big enough to do a huge lasagne in :D

    Oooh can you post the recipe please. I've made some fat cakes using lard, bird seed, peanuts and currants before. I put them in the chinese takeaway containers. How do you make them into balls?

    My feathered friends would be very grateful :D

    Thanks Pitlane....I've got to say I felt a little smug at my find. I'll be even happier if that enamel roasting tin is still there on Monday on my way home from work :D
