When life sends you Lemons, just bake a cake

Lemon_Tree

we should at least be able to get a bigger mortage once Norbert is cleared which means we should just be able to afford a two bed place.
I've been working on next months numbers today, it's going to be tight to clear Norbert in August, it will all depend on what discount on the interest i get for paying it back early, so it may be September in the end. But in all honesty if we need a bit extra to pay for the porch than what we've got saved already then so be it.

OH has decided to bake cakes again, grrrrr, it's good that he's found something he likes to do but they're not good for us. Todays fayre is chocolate chip buns and plain sponge with some cherries which it looks like he's about to top with melted chocolate and coconut. The most frustrating thing is he's asking me where everything is, has a 'man look', can't find stuff flounces that it's not there, and then gets narky when i find it exactly where i said it was. MEN!!!!!

lol he's just melted a plastic bowl whilst melting some chocolate lol

That's for Chocolat au tangy burnt plastic flavour...

oh i guessed i missed that there was a plan in melting the plastic. How female of me to not understand what plans were going on in Mr LT's head and thinking that he'd made a mistake lol

though i do have to say i think Italian men believe they are allowed to flounce as they learn it from their mama's lol

hi ruby glad to see you popping along.
Lemon Muffin's sound yummy, i'll have to suggest them to OH the next time he gets in baking mode.

good news when i logged onto Quidco, another £30 will be winging it's way to us shortly, that will help Norbert's demise.

Oh my word look at norbert how clever are you!

Yay to quidco and lol to Mr LT 'flouncing' that made me giggle

The cellist left me another home made card, thank you for the craft stuff, I probably don't say but she uses it most weeks - so a huge thank you again!

Lemon_Tree

Mr LT's flouncing makes me giggle as well, but obviously not when he's looking.
I'm glad the cellist is enjoying the craft stuff, it should keep her going for a little while. I need to have another sort out really i still have too much that doesn't get used.

Well done on the weight loss. The work situation is rubbish - I know how you feel as it's the same in my place - chin up it can only get better x

haven't a lovely weekend with OH feels like the first time in ages that we've had two days off together.
weather is lovely here today so i've got the laundry hokey cokey in full flow, i should get it all dry as well yay!!
fell over at the gym today and clonked down on my shin/knee so it's pretty painfull. There's a lot of weight to land on my poor leg, it was my first session there so i think i may have worried the person who was setting my plan for me.
spent the evening with my sister and her family yesterday which was great, spent most of the time baking cookies with my sister, 277 of them! for my nephew to take to orchestra practice today.
