Not much use to you now LindyLoo, but there are lots of Ebay sellers who do personalised icing for cakes, you know, those printed icing pictures, and they wil do them with your child's own name etc. on. I've seen them for about £3, and you get 12 fairycake sized ones with most of them, too!. As for baking, I'm sure it was you I said to before, if you can read, you can bake. It's not like cooking, where you need a good palate to make up dishes, baking is so exact that you can't fail if you are following a recipe. Try it, you might surprise yourself, then you can make next year's cake yourself! X

Here's what I mean:

jackie - I cant even make a cookie mix where you add water and an egg! I seriously dont know what goes wrong! Im better at cooking meals but want to be able to bake - even my scones look like biscuits but havent attempted them since university after all the bad comments!

I will check out ebay later, DS2 is 3 in july and also wants a ben 10 cake. Thankyou for the tip - boys love the little rice paper things you put on icing.

Have bought two sponge cake mixes and even some cocoa powder to make some fairy cakes chocolate for school. I can make cripsy cakes tho! Going to try weetabix brownies this week 2. xx

Am sulking - me & OH had tickets to see the Hairy Bikers tonight.....OH got a phone call about 5.30 to say one of them was stuck in Germany so the show was cancelled and because most of the other dates are sold out, the theatre don't know whether they will be able to reschedule

And the cheesey leek tart I made went all free-form on the baking tray - all the insides ran out of the pastry It tasted very nice though

Aww Floss that's rotten. We wanted to see them here but circumstances meant we couldn't, hopefully they'll do another tour soon.

Evening everyone

Another late one from me. Today has been bright for most of the day.

I have spent much of today listing items on ebay, after I had a disaster with turbolister which I spent most of yesterday doing and it wouldn't upload to ebay:mad:. Anyway I have listed 25 items today mainly clothing.

Only os today was wm on & hung out. Made a roast chicken dinner for ds2 & I. Just checked now and there doesn't appear to be as much left think ds2 has snaffled some when I wasn't looking. Still need to do pots so will start those in a minute.

I have also been trying to choose 3 pieces of music for the civil ceremony of my wedding, am really struggling and oh no help, I am not really that into music just listen to it when its on the radio. I thought of something classical - any suggestions welcome.

DS2 has been really hard work this afternoon, go into a right strop as he fell out with his friends, then the chain on his bike got stuck(I still haven't managed to sort it). Then next we had the usual 40 minute battle over 7 questions of homework. Will be glad when he is in bed. His dad was meant to be dropping off a maintenance cheque(a week late) but couldn't as he was going out for tea:mad:.

Anway my oh was pleased with the Chelsea result, had several calls from him today during the match then after too. Anyway enough of my rambling.


Jackie - my oh has a staffie - now 14 years old but he is brilliant with my ds2.
Floss - sorry to hear of your disappointment, I hope you manage to get to see them.
Diva,PP, NPM & Ladygrim - ((Hugs)) thinking of you.

Enjoy the rest of your evening. Hugs to anyone that needs/wants one. Take Care.

I'm coming in to Pachebel's Canon in D, but we can't decide on the other 2 bits. How about Vivaldi's Four Seasons?

Thanks floss - will have a listen. Got a classical cd at home with 3cds in so will listen to that tomorrow too.
