  • I have done nothing today! Time to stop procrastinating and get out and clean the car before the rain starts again. Right, I'm off...

    Hello all.

    I've attempted Flying in the spare room; rather cursorily I fear, and the extras don't look likely today as I'm feeling really carp for some reason. Feels like I might be in for another migraine. I hope not. Feels almost like I'm running a temperature too, but I don't have a thermometer to be able to check.:(

    PenPen and AnW'sMum enjoy your holidays.:j

    Divorcingjack and London Welshcake (hey..... another LW!!)just because you have no children, you don't get away with not doing any Flying y'know.... I don't have children either, btw (unless you count the 60 yr old one I'm married to). :D

    Toots awwww, that's rotten that you're going to have to cut right down on foods that you enjoy. :(

    Right, I'm going to put the netbook down for a bit, the little orangey lights in front of my eyes are getting a bit annoying.:mad:

    Laters, all.:)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    I normally do 8oz SR flour, rub in 4oz marg, add 4oz sugar 4oz dried fruit (any kind) and two beaten eggs. If it seems dry, add a little milk until you get a soft mixture. Then into cake cases and bake at 180C for about 20 minutes until they are a nice colour and spring back when you press them lightly. Today I added a little chopped apple too and some mixed spice.

    Been to dentist and i only need one filling replaced.:j:j:j

    DD got a letter to go to camp but they don't know if she can go because she will need a one to one, so i'll have to wait and see what they say. Why send a letter that only excites her to then say it's only a maybe. :(

    Big news my sister got the job :j:D:j:D:j:D:j:D:j:D:j:D and she's moved into the house.

    Right i better make a start on the kitchen incase the blind man shows.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
