Morning all.
Penelope penguin Not sure where you have been but welcome back:D The cakes look gorgeous, I've put 3 stone on looking at them.
Greenbee I feel like I've done a days work just reading your post.
I had 13 hours sleep last night:o So feel quite energetic today which hopefully means I can catch up on the lists. DD is off school today because it's a polling station so she wants to bake. Not sure what we will do though, my skills only stretch to fairy cakes:o
I might even clean the oven but don't hold me to it :rotfl:You learn to love to liveYou fight and you forgiveYou face the darkest nightJust live before you die0 -
Someone sandpapered my throat
(which probably means I will get a cold next)
Anyway at least I can 'talk' here.
Quiet day I think - apart from voting
Welcome back pen-pen
AnW'sMum posi vibes for a successful day
Jojo and greenbee - love the description of you both hard at work :rotfl:
Carlsberggal - great news :T
toots - hope you feel better after a night's sleep - slow down young lady!
OK let's see if a shower will wake me up0
