    I think its ok, never be as good as the real stuff but that is sooooooo fattening *but so delish on a hot scone or pancake*
    I'd rather have less of the real stuff than more of the fake stuff thanks :D

    Well, I've been avoiding working, so the upstairs floors were decluttered, the pile of clothes in the bedroom put away, the muslin curtains that I took down and washed when the new window sill was put it have been rehung and the upstairs floors have been hoovered. Not much, but it looks better.

    The window cleaner is now here, so I have to pretend to do some work... once he's gone (and I really do need to get this paper ready for my mentor to review before I go today) I'll get myself organised for this evening. I need to go through my notes and think about how I'm going to adapt the presentation to the audience now I've got more information on them. I also need to work out how I'm going to get there and back... and then do my hair and make up... oh and sort out my laptop bag so I don't need a handbag as well... and put some relaxing music on my ipod and find a book... so I don't spend the journey home reliving the evening...

    Morning!!
    Just a quick hello, I skimmed the thread last night but didn't get around to posting... Ok so what can I remember?!!

    Jo jo and sock knitter Thank you for the comments about the skechers.. I'm only 5'2" so the extra height won't be a problem! Have to see how I get on when they turn up! !
    Carlsberggal glad you've heard from DS
    PenPen good to see you back!
    Toots hope your week is improving.
    LL hugs as always
    Hugs to anyone I've forgotten

    Now flying.. Um I've been trying to do more after work, last night I even got as far as cutting the grass which is just as well as it was like a meadow and we've had rain overnight.. Hopefully that'll save a job at the weekend.
    I'll update my lists once Ive made a bit more of a dent in them.
    Have a good day everyone!!
