    SJ - I think you must remove the calories from your cakes before you eat them as you look fab. If I was baking all day I'd be the size of a house! Ooops about missing the party though.
    Only just seen this now, thanks very much!

    If you break the cake in half before eating then all the calories jump out!:rotfl: whereas if you just bite it then they all fall in your mouth:p
    Ah, I'll remember that in future, save me spending all that time seiving the calories out ;)

    I am stupidly tired considering all the sleep I'm getting. Been round at mum;s tonight ans bought her and me chinese for tea to cheer her up a bit. My grandma has just a couple of weeks ago finished her chemo but has been at hospital yesterday and had it confirmed that the 2 new lumps she's found are more lymphomas :( She's got a patch of dry skin type stuff on her neck too whoch she's getting checked out at hospital next month which I'm guessing is skin cancer too (she's already had 3 lots removed from various places) So mum is understandably pretty upset. To top it off my grandad has got shingles. It just seems one thing after another with them at the moment.

    . Hope all the OH's are on the mend, babies are behaving and sleeping and mummies are happy and well/Sorry not to be keeping up and just posting about myself, struggling for time to do anything at he moment :o

    Starting to calm down now. I'm actually being quite good, I avoided an entire street in the town centre for 6 years after I saw someone being sick.

    Found Zombie pets on facebook too!!!
  • Tia - I have no idea what to say hun but whatever you think a wise old bird like me should be saying to you - that is what I WOULD be saying if I was on the ball xx

    Oh and a :money: tip for anyone who buys reasonable amounts of eggs from Asda (yes, very random!) They do boxes of mixed weight free range eggs in 15 or 18 boxes which are cheaper than the set size boxes - well the 15 egg boxes are loads cheaper, works out at about 12p per egg, whereas 18 boxes are about 18p per egg. Compared to a box of 12 medium free range eggs which are 24p per egg, the 15 boxes are very MSE!

    Mfd, I'm sorry work is so sh1tty for you at the minute, and I hope that from the mire comes something shiny and good...

    Tia, I don't walk down the side street by the railway in Walsall for that same reason... I completely understand! You're very brave and a strong woman... And get a flannel in the kitchen sink for tonight... Bleach and shower tomorrow... :)

    To attempt to make everyone laugh, one of my Nans classic statements today was...........
    My cousin was at Nans at the same time as me, and i've not seen her in ages so we were chatting away. She asked where V was, so I said OH's mum has her on a Wednesday.
    Nan pipes up " they get on well 3 & OH's Mum, they're the same age! " :rotfl::eek::rotfl:
