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).
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.;)0 -

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.0 -
