    sure thing sami, we're just checking that a couple of the swaps work out well ie greek yoghurt for double cream, white sugar in place of brown... but I expect aless will be ready to give her verdict V soon! Is a baked cheesecake american-style, do you like those? will post once aless gives the thumbs up!

    Had a much better driving lesson today... Followed by a game of battleships with Aimee... And now hubby's making me a lovely bacon sandwich :D

    Bruno, sorry your privacy is being invaded, and you don't even have a new bed by way of compensation... But just like childhood... In the grand scheme of things, this is 5 mins... They will be gone before you know it, and it will be harder for Mrs B to wave her Dad off than it is for you to put up with him a while... I'm sure you'll get through it alive and with most of your sanity intact ;)

    How did E go to bed last night with Grandpa interrupting his routine?

    Peanut butter cheesecake....mmmmmm! Send some down this way please, Aless! I'd love the recipe too lovely Weezl so look forward to that post!

    Super-duper happy as I just bought some like new smart black Next trousers in a charity shop :j. Not sure if I mentioned but I have a worky conference in a couple of weeks (overnight job) and was slightly panicking that I no longer have any smart business wear, but these are lovely for £3 and just like my old pair which are now too scruffy for best (and cost £30).

    Glad the fairies made it Kindof :D.
