    If anyone has any suggestions for what to bake I would be grateful. I am one of those people who buys all the ingredients so they look good in the cupboard:o

    This is the yummiest chocolate cake I have EVER made

    Hi all.

    Many thanks, Flylady Central Command; I shall try hard again this week.

    Diva it's good to see you back; you were missed. Sorry to hear that you had to endure another op.:( Hope that's the last of them for you.

    Jinky would a Wolfy (((HUG))) be any help at all?

    Kezlou good luck with the driving lesson. You can do it!

    ((((HUGS)))) to all who are not feeling up to scratch today, or are worried or unhappy.

    Not having a good start to the week myself. Getting bathed and dressed really knocked the stuffing out of me, even more than usual, and I ended up sleeping on the sofa til 10:30 after Mr LW left for work.:( Bl00dy lupus really pishes me off at times.:mad:

    Oh, apologies to Milton Keynes Flyladies, the air over the city may be somewhat blue today; my knees are giving me mega-gyp, so much that I swear just about every time I move them!:cool:

    Right, let's see what's on this 'ere list..... I shall do what I can, aided by adrenaline and sheer bl00dy-mindedness!:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Afternoon all. Lovely sunny day and nearly all the washing is already dry and put away, just a sweatshirt finishing off out there.

    I've done the kitchen, and also damp-wiped the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs. Well I had to after having haircuts in the kitchen!

    Not much else going on. Fighting BD and just about winning at the moment.

    Hope everyone's OK, still catching up. Lovely to see Diva posting again :)

    Morning all. I'm in again this week, thanks to the coalition government who keep us going :D.
    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Back from consultant and don't need to go for another 4 weeks so a bit of a break (no pun intended!)

    Just having lunch and then I need to pop DS3's PE kit up to school as he can now do low risk things - they are doing tennis so that should be ok.

    It's sunny here so I'm planning on getting an hour in the front garden when I get back.

    DH should be able to finish the fence later now I've got some more wire pins.

    That looks gorgeous:D

    Can I ask some questions please. (Told you I was a total novice:o)

    Plain or SR flour?
    How much is a cup or is it just an ordinary mug?
    What is the difference between baking powder and baking soda?
    Would you like to come round and bake it for me?:rotfl:

    morning ladies :D

    I'm in again this week - lapsed a bit towards the end of last week so it'll be good to get going again. Glad it's the kitchen today, and pleased to see the 'try to cook something new' one - I've decided to try gluten free for a month, and need some help!!! :eek:

    Hope everyone is ok
    onestep


    Missed this earlier on. Pm me if you need help, my youngest son is gluten and dairy free :eek:...so I've been there and am stilll wearing the tee shirt...................

    Both phone calls made. Arranged for Siemens to come and reseal our meter following the re-wiring, this will cost £30, going to look at it as hopefully the final chapter on our electric adventures.

    Waiting for the Ethical superstore to ring me back regarding my missing parcel ( they seemed more confused than I was)

    Made good head way on ironing....may even reach todays list by the evening :D

    Hugs jinks:( I hope things get better for you very soon.

    I am having a rest after wiping all the kitchen surfaces, next will be dining area.

    I have broth cooking too as it is still bitterly cold. The snow is just lying on the hills above us, none here luckily.
