    Morning :D

    Hope you managed to think of something to do today Flower! I was going to take my dog on a mammoth walk but it's peeing it down and she hates the rain :(

    Picked 2 recipes I want to do though, so I'll be going to the supermarket when it opens to get the stuff. My Parents said they'll pay for it too, as its more them and my brother and sister who eat the stuff than me. I just tend to have a tiny bit to make sure it doesn't taste like carp and that's it.

    Not doing much in the way of MSE-ness today. Just the baking, and tidying my room!

    Hope you all have a nice day. And I totally did not have half an easter egg for my breakfast :EasterBun

    I made baileys and white chocolate cupcakes and brownies with caramel and chocolate toppings. Yum! Almost all done, just need to melt the chocolate to cover the brownies now.

    Joined a site for a daily scratch card too. Might just be 10p a day but it'll add up and isn't bad for just 1 minute of my time. Just need to remember to do it now! :o

    Mmmm they both sound amazing, let me know how they taste!

    I do the daily scratch cards and they are good,does't take long to do and does add up. Plus every now and then you get a fiver which is great.

    Got 10p on the one I did today. Still, it's free money! Will cross my fingers for £5 at some point :D
    I had one of the brownie thingys and they're looooovely. I'd make them more often but they're pretty heart-attack-ish and (more importantly) take ages to make! The cupcakes are going down well with everyone else, but I haven't had one. Did sneak a bit of left over icing though and so say it's only got 2tbsp of Baileys in it, it sure is boozy! (But then I don't drink much, and could most likely taste a drop of it in a glass of water!)

    Woops, forgot my spends for today:

    £1.10 to make up change at the Supermarket

    Not exciting, but I should note it. But I am noticing alllll my pennies seem to go on either food, petrol or clothes.

    Off to dry my hair before tea, been sat reading Glamour since I got out of the bath (then on here) and I don't want my towel flopping into my stew!

    Sounds like you have had a good day Cinny - baking sounds yummy!

    OH ended up going into work this morning (where the rolly eye pic when you need it?!), but then took me out for a late lunch. Was nice, but other than that not done alot. Went for a run this morning, but do that quite regularly!!

    I'll do it just for you Dinah! Will rush and take a snap of the cupcakes before the sun completely goes :D Hows your diet going btw? I was telling my Mum about it and she liked the sound of having a pork chop for a snack!

    Sounds like a nice day still Flower! I've had the past couple days just lazing around 'not doing much' and it's just been good to catch up on sleep. Taking the pooches for a walk tomorrow afternoon though, just looking forward to getting properly out of the house.

    I quit! Mum told me to stop it or move out! Basically I was so bored I kind of stopped eating, which made me very stroppy. So now I'm just trying to do calorie counting, but as I'm doing a lot of baking it's not likely to happen!

    Heres the recipe for you! I think I'll post the brownie one tomorrow too, if I can get a good picture of it. I have baking vanity! :D

    Shame about the diet, but I don't think I would even of lasted as long as you did. I'm rubbish at diets, as I think you all might know :o
