Thanks for that Scaredy. Where would I buy the more unusual ingredients?

Oh yeah it was covering my glasses but apart from that it was OK - who need to see anyway :rotfl:

Wear a hat. That keeps the rain off your glasses. It works for me...

I always thought a moonwalk was when you walked along with your arris hanging out the back of your shorts...

The only thing I haven't seen is Xantham gum - everything else you can get at Mr T's.

Good news :T Did it cover what you paid for the new car in the end?

yes It's all in my diary, but basically through a mixture of incompetence and lazyness they convinced themselves I had a very rare model in mint condition and paid me top book price I paid £1800 for it 3 years ago and had it insured for 2k.

My replacement car (Thunder ) cost £1400 plus £68 for 6 months tax. It was £6 to alter the policy (plus a £25 admin charge!!) so I've ended up literally break even. In a way, I'm up because my old car needed a new battery and a minimum of 2 tyres for its next MOT and it was in the higher tax band so the running costs would have been higher for my old car over the next few months than the one I've bought (hopefully - if nothing goes wrong with it!!)

Sitting here with a dye on my hair - hoping to rectify the dye disaster inflicted on me at work a week ago _pale_ Let's hope I'm not going to make it any worse!! I've chosen Espresso Brown......I don't like having brown hair, it makes me feel really dull and un-noticed but it will have to be for a bit unfortunately.

buckwheat flour is a good gluten free alternative as it is a seed . Never used it but it's supposed to be good.
