  • Thanks Guys, you all keep me going:A- it is a bit of a relief to have her home. :D
    And hello dedicated DFW- :wave:
    Have a natter anytime.
    Been a bit of a pants day otherwise :( The washing machine broke *again* and i need to wash clothes for going away- so popped to Asda for a few essential things, like underwear...:cool:

    I am also making a wedding cake for a friend- and unfortunately some little pesky mice have got into my cupboard and had themselves a party with one of the tiers- i couldn't risk it so binned the lot- including hand made roses :( Hours have gone into that and the wedding is in two weeks...:eek:_pale_ So next week after i get back from London, it will be baking up a storm time and i will have to buy the flowers- i just don't have time to make them now.

    Do you know, i will be really glad when October is finished with:o I can't say that it has been great at all.

    On a brighter note- we have had fittings for the bridesmaid dresses and they are gorgeous, i thought i was too old to be a bridesmaid but i love the dress and will be honoured to wear it..sometimes i can be a right girlie:D

    Night all, will try and get some sleep now.

  • Well thank goodness it is Friday :D
    Pay from Job 1 has come in, with petrol expenses and a small tax rebate :) Which definitely helps the cause.
    I am off on trip tomorrow, so am busy packing and having to handwash one of my guiders tops...a pain, but needs must and all that.
    That's about it really.
    Have a good weekend everyone.

    If you have a problem with mice, keep old roses tins and quality street tins for storing baking in. If mice can get through the steel in those, you've bigger fish to fry...

  • I do have quality street tins Z- for the purpose, however i can't get the largest base of the cake in it and i was feeding them with alcofrol..i hope those mice enjoyed it, because the next thing they will nibble will have poison in it :/ Blighters.
