We have water Came on about 6pm... Very low pressure though so I had to pour some bottles of water in the loo cistern to flush it lol...

And my new bread maker has come, it's this one... Cost me £20 though, brand new :D

Can I use "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" in place of butter to make a loaf? It's what my aunt bought when I asked her to pick up butter... And I asked Dave to buy some as a back up... And he forgot...

And neither of my children have eaten their tea tonight... Probably because Daddy bought crappy smiley faces... Even I wouldn't eat a crappy smiley face...

Thanks RMac - I was starting to think she would never be interested as most of my friends LOs are potty trained already but she has got there herself and its so much easier doing it when they are ready- I tried in the summer and got nowhere.

hi all,

Twoflowers: our thoughts are with you and your family, can't really help but we're all here if you need anyone.

Seems really insensitive to say now but I crashed my car yesterday fortunately at low speed and me and DH walked away from it ok. My car is bu99ered however and undriveable but has been taken away to be looked at and I've got a poxy fiat 500! Its a lot smaller than an xsara picasso!!! I'm a bit sore with achey neck, back and hips but it'll ease soon. Hopefully car won't be written off but depends how much damage is under the bonnet. I'd only owned the car about 7 weeks !!!!!! but first accident since I passed my test *cough* 10yrs ago so suppose I've been lucky up tp know and lady luck was busy elsewhere

Is Diprobase the same as doublebase?

No Diprobase and Doublebase are different, millie has doublebase at the moment and has never really gon on with diprobase. She never go on with oilatum either and has dermol for her bath which we find works well.

SJ- Have you seen the winners in the Boden bake off comp on FB? Some fab cake ideas on there!

Not sure about the 'can't believe it's not butter' BUT you can use oil in place of butter:), Two tbs is the same a 25g of butter.

AND how on earth did you get the BM so cheap:eek:

ETA - Krystal......book says you can use butter, margerine or oil!! So it might be fine:)

My friends husband works for Currys Clearance and they had them in marked at £35... Then they reduced them to £22 to clear the stock so I said I'd have one... And over the weekend they had a 10% day so got it for £20.

I'm undecided whether to put it in with the timer tonight or just put it on first thing so I can monitor it... My sister is supposed to be coming over (she hasn't turned up the last 2 times so we're not holding our breath...) would be nice if the place smells of bread though (instead of the rat cage... Which really needed cleaning today, but I didn't want to while I couldn't wash my hands so it will be done tomorrow while Caitlyn naps...)

Krystal, it will be fine! Bung it in there!

Do they not have measurements in the gym here that give you % body fat? In the USA, that's the normal way to calculate...not sure how it's done exactly, I think it might be a combo of height/weight/skin pinch measurements. Anyway, it's much more accurate than BMI which was invented in 1850s. Don't understand why ANYONE still uses it, since if we were to talk about some other health issue from then, we'd be laughed out of the building. Extremely archaic.

I'm excited because someone is coming to collect our sofa tomorrow! Been trying to get rid of it for a couple of weeks now, as there was already 1 in the flat we moved to, so having 2 around is far too cluttering in the lounge. It's going to look soooo spacious in here, I can't wait.

Oooh I love the smell of fresh bread, although I don't really eat it as it doesn't agree with me:( Plus I am trying to lose weight!

I usually do mine overnight though, pretty much every night:D

lol, no probs if not just tell me to bog off.:)How could I find out conclusively if asda vegetable oil contains harmful transfats?

At the moment I'm thinking the only idea is for me to privately pay a food testing lab to do this for me, but I just think it's going to be a large and unnecessary expense. Do you know any other ways of testing/other food composition databases I can try?

Weezl, if you need a quote for the testing I can ask one of our sales guys? No obligation at all but will give you an idea of costs if nothing more? PM me if you'd like me to, should only be a quick phone call to a friend.

Hugs to all and twoflower is in my thoughts xxx
