Got loads done in that last HHC, re-laid the LR fire, sorted the mag rack, hoovered all through the house, washed the hoover filters, loaded the DW and found a recipe as per the list for dinner tonight.

Summermoon - I do Sage if you want to PM me, not an expert but experienced.

Off for school run.

kazwookie

I also have sage here and can put it into a training mode if you want me to test something out for you.

In fairness kitchen and dining room weren't too bad as they were tidied before we went away but needed to clean out the food cupboards as they were death traps (which meant I messed up the floor). Made cherry and almond loaf - not done that for ages. Going to make some veggie pasties for tea so need to find some spices to liven them up.

Hope everyone is OK (worried about Jinks).

Thank you (((HUGS))) right back.:D
I'm doing a little and then resting; but honestly, these flares are so unpredictable, I could be reasonably OK tomorrow, or I could grow old waiting for it to be over *insert shruggy smilie*. Thanks to you guys, I do now pace myself somewhat better - once the day's allotted room is done, I don't start another, so that's a good thing. I have to try though, otherwise the BD starts barking because I feel useless. Currently waiting for onions to cool to construct the pie for tonight's dins, so having a wee time-out.:o

OK, so I have decided to make blueberry jam from some blueberries that have been languishing in my freezer for WAY too long... they are currently simmering in preperation for addition of sugar. DD2 has been decluttered to bed so I don't have to worry about her while cooking

Hug/kick up the bum to anyone who needs it

This is the yummiest chocolate cake I have EVER made

http://www.grouprecipes.com/12445/chocolate-moist-cake.html

Even my OH ate it (in fact, he ate most of it :rotfl:)

THANK YOU

Just tried this cake and it is lovely! although cooking it in the thin silicone loaf tin wasnt the best idea! Need to clean the oven now!!!

I'm a bit jealous now and starting to think maybe blueberry jam wasn't the way to go...:p *wanders off to look at bubbling blueberries*

And, they've looked at the lymph nodes and there's no evidence that the cancer has spread!

:j:jReally pleased for you both

Toots - I need a new water main - the leak is between the internal and external stopcocks. It is being done on Friday £400 but the guy said we should be able to get £100 back from the waterboard so I'm about to investigate that.

I managed to get an hour in the garden before the school run. It's raining now though so no more until tomorrow.

Bedroom pics.. for you nosies!!!! Obviously before all the detritus was reinstated...
