I hope that my child, looking back on today
Will remember a mother who had time to play;
Because children grow up while you're not looking,
There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs, dust go to sleep.
I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

Hi Jay-jay,
What about shortbread? Lovely, especially at this time of year.
This thread may help with getting the quantities right if you would prefer to make something with self raising flour:

Scones- plain flour plus baking powder or bicarb of soda and cream of tartar.
Potato scones-plain flour,mashed potatoes,butter and pinch of salt.
Soda scones-bicarb of soda and cream of tartar needed.
I've got some recipes for the above,if you're interested.0 -
Baking powder is usually 1 tsp to every 8oz (225g) of flourBlessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

Shortbread.
Cream 4oz caster sugar to 8oz butter. add 10oz plain flour and 2oz ground rice. put in a tin and bake at gas 3 for 1 hr. cut into little pieces when warm. GORGEOUS and SOOOOO Moreish.
Perfect for a fete!Me, OH, grown DS, (other DS left home) and Mum (coming up 80!). Considering foster parenting. Hints and tips on saving £ always well received. Xx
