Hypno's reminder that she is doing ok, actually!

Hmmm, I know what you mean. I have done tons over the last few weeks, yet everywhere looks a tip!
I despair - so instead I'm having a cheeky apre-dinner vino :beer:

Enjoy the footie!

I am driving, so no wine for me.......so I will leave it to you to have one for me!

Don't grab hold of it too tightly when it's swelling in size. You can get carried away...

now i know why i haven't started my shred...no sports bra...phew:eek:

good point, will go out and buy said item...i really must start, i really must. need to get rid of wobbly thighs.

on the crumble subject (this thread moves so fast that that conversation may seem like pages ago)...i have discovered 2 great tips for making great pastry..... 1. to keep pastry light, you need to rub the flour and fat together with really cold hands. the easiest way to get cold hands is to run the inside of your wrists under the cold tap, they become cold v. quickly and then when you rub the ingredients together, lift the flour and butter high in the mixing bowl to incorporate air. 2. I also add an egg yolk to the pastry which adds to and let the pastry sit for about 15 minutes at least before rolling out - it lets it rest.

(for mse purposes you can store the egg whites in the fridge for a couple of weeks and use to make meringues - staler egg whites make much better meringues).....

i love adding nuts to my crumble - or even crushed cornflakes, makes it nice and crunchy.

have a nice day everyone, we are decorating our lounge today so i am hoping for a major decluttering of old videos as we have to move everything out....

sadly not. 2-3

So.....this morning after I have taken the student to his activity, I will go for a short run, then come home and carry on with the great declutter...

But first, of course, banking, scratching, and coffee!

enjoy your coffee hypno, atleast it's stopped raining for your run, although I absolutely love running in the rain.

hypno06

Oh it is chucking it down here still! I am not running until 9, so hopefully it will have stopped, although I don't mind running in the rain. Whereas I hate running in the strong wind, so getting wet is far easier than that!

50p on one scratch, 20p on another.......and another £3 redeemed to paypal on surveys.....slowly slowly!

I agree, rain is ok, biting breath taking wind is not - only sleet is worse

Enjoy your run. Are you doing a long one this weekend?

Running in the rain sounds quite nice, actually, as long as its not driving into your face. Have a good run, both!
