    Another lemon drizzle cake fan here! :D

    How did you get on with your heavy structural engineering purchases LT?! :D I must consider getting some more myself but it's SUCH an undertaking. When have debenhams next got a sale on I wonder? I might have to make a trip at a time when they still have some left in my size!

    lol EH i braved a visit to the website yesterday and have ordered 4 different types, i'm expecting to have to return them all but this time i'm determined to keep trying, i've not really got much choice to be honest. I really hate shopping for them as i can't get anything on the high street it's something i end up doing alternate years and when i find one which fits me the best or the least worst then i buy a few of them.

    thanks Pippi, i'm sure they did - well in their coffee anway lol

    realistically there's worse things than feeling that i've been judged and found wanting, something's going on with someone in my team which is a lot more serious than that and could be potentially life changing and is challenging and not something you expect when you're only 36/37.
