    Nope, bottles are bad. Glass (or two) is fine. Get scared when it is a 5 litre box. How big is the glass?
    and for the record I have had my two glasses and moved onto a nice cup of tea....

    DW emptied and filled, need to sort uniforms for the morning and then fall into the bath with a book and yet more tea.

    Hugs for helly and kazw. Hope you get sorted.

    Just dragged DS1 out to pick more blackberries for my cake, as the ones in the fridge had gone off (don't like to walk around hedgerows by myself at this time). He wasn't too keen, but we enjoyed some time together. Will now move the laptop into the kitchen to see the recipe AND MAKE THIS CAKE.

    If I can be bothered, I'll follow it with a lemon drizzle cake and maybe (just maybe) some twinks.

    DS2 is still playing next door, so I'll make use of the time. x
