    Posi-vibes coming your way :A
    Pen pen Could you point me in the direction of the clementine marmalade recipe please. It is probably to advanced for me but we have bags of the things and I don't want to just chuck them.

    Have you made marmalade before? If so, just sub clementines for oranges :D I'd add a lemon or two into the weight, too, for a sourer taste ;)I like Delia's recipe.

    No, but if you've never made preserves before, then set aside a clear half day with no distractions :D It's not difficult, but you do need to concentrate as a first timer as there are skills to be learnt. Do you have a friend or rellie who can hold your hand for the first time?

    No distractions may be difficult!! Don't have anyone that makes preserves, I would probably end up losing my temper with them anyway so alone may be the best option to start with:o

    Might live dangerously and try it at the weekend;)
    Thanks for the help.

    I KNEW there was something I'd forgotten... I need a summer coat/mac for travelling :eek: and I haven't got round to looking for anything yet. Lightweight, smart but not boring... Looks like I'll be busy on Saturday.

    Good morning flyladies,

    Had a very busy morning. I stripped the master bed first thing and have just put clean ironed sheets on. It looks lovely:D. I've really scrubbed the kitchen, dining room and hall floors. There was all kinds of sticky stuff so I got down on my hands and knees with a microfibre cloth and got on with it. I've washed all the skirting boards downstairs and have made a start on the floordrobe in the MB. The landing is a problem as all DD2 and DS3's gibble is on it as I'm procrastinating. Best I get on with it.....
