Well today i havent done too much but has been a NSD!

Took the kids on a walk down to the sea. A mile there and mile back. Had a picnic and then took them to a park for a play in the sun. Really enjoyed being outside all day! Then had dinner at MIL's. No money on entrances, parking, ice creams or drinks!!!!

I am going to pop over and have a look at the 101 thing thread! It the kind of thing i love....i love lists!!!

Triangle - well done on the ebay list! I just started in november and have made £1200 selling all our unwanted things from around the home!

I hope everyone is having a great sunday!

Hi all - determined new ms , thought this might interest you. I always make banana bread with my mushy bananas but I am trying not to use my oven so much. I found this recipe for a microwave version through the Old Style board. (It is on the Sainsbury's website). It only takes seven minutes in the microwave!!!!! And it is yummy too.

Banana & chocolate chip cake
Tasty banana cake popular with children & adults.
Serves: 10
Preparation time: 13 Minutes
Cooking time: 7 Minutes

You will need
125g margarine
125g light brown soft sugar
2 medium eggs, beaten
2 large bananas
250g self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
50g milk chocolate drops (made in a nut-free environment)

1.Place the margarine and sugar in a bowl and beat together until light and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
2.Mash the bananas and beat into the cake mixture.
