  • Re biccies, they are yummy ... would be eaven nicer if I hadn't overcooked them :o (they aren't burnt, just slightly more cooked than they need to be!)

    Really easy to make and only take 10 mins in the oven, so you can eat them very soon after. The quantities in the recipe don't make very many though (depending on how big cutters you use I suppose!) so you might want to double up unless you are just doing some for you and baby and daddy when he gets home. Caz/Tara/Pinkpig you would need twice the amount just to get one each I think ;)

    caz, here's how I make popcorn (my mom taught me): put a smidgeon of oil in the bottom of your saucepan (your largest if making for more than 2 ppl). Put enough kernels in the pan to line the bottom, but no more. Put lid on and put on medium heat. Once the very 1st kernel pops, remove from heat for exactly 1 minute. Give the pan a good shake & return to heat. Once the popcorn starts popping properly, give the pan a good shake to move around the kernels every 10 secs or so, but DO NOT TAKE THE LID OFF. Your popcorn is done when you can count 3 seconds between pops. Don't leave it longer or it will burn!

    :)

    3, DLA forms are horrid. Luckily we were given the same award again, phew!

    Ladybird, I'd call the council and advise them. The last thing you want is squatters moving in!

    Caz, another (((hug)))

    You might be able to convert to jpg and upload to photobucket or some such - not sure, haven't tried.

    Ladybird, I would call the police... They probably work quicker than the council at getting the flat secured... Have you poked your head in the door? I don't know if I'd be able to contain myself lol...

    I'm on my new netbook... Like it? :D I arrived this morning over 2 weeks early!!

    Haven't had much chance to play with it though, had a semi productive day instead... Made my brother's anniversary card that I've been planning for weeks... Posted it (along with my Dad's birthday card that should have been posted Tuesday, oops!) vacuumed, put the nappies on, folded half the washing and made a banana loaf... All in between feeding and entertaining madame...

    Whilst we were at the postbox we popped into the petshop... They had baby rats in there and I got chatting to the man about them... He said they were getting too big now and people didn't want them, I could have them for free if I wanted!! :D I didn't think Hubby would be keen seeing as he never liked my other two, but he said it's fine as long as I get the cage out of the shed myself! :D:D I'm only having the one because they're boy and girl and I don't fancy a housefull... Going to go for the male one... Picking him up after messy church in the morning... :D
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Hey i killed the thread

    *knocks*

    That ebay seller with the swing wants it picking up before 11 tomorrow, grrr as if i want to be dressed that early on a weekend lol. She wanted paying by paypal too, noob. She lives in the posh end of town. And i was just reading the local paper (that the breasfeeding fan man gave me) and saw some political ramblings in the "your letters" section with the same name as seller. Totally lowering the tone when i chug up to the door in my rustmobile tomorrow :rotfl:
