Foxy, I would but I know I'd get caught out! It's a bit of a standing joke in our house that I can cook but cannot bake for love nor money!

This is attempt no 1 cheesecake: http://www.squidoo.com/cheesecake-factory-restaurant-recipes
And the BBCs http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2869/new-york-cheesecake

Mine to follow....

Awwwwww Twinklekat, as they say god loves a trier, not sure I would have had the will to try another after my cooker was covered in mess.

I will do my NO BAKE cheesecake and blog it soon, there is no need for it to go in the oven, it sets in the fridge, and its yummy. HUGS.........

Elysia - I made a hoody jacket for my Grandson, there's a pic on my blog. Also started another quilt for my other sister.

Had reply from Doou saying they had tech probs over weekend (which we knew already), said they are going to try to put all the reviews back on if they can find them. I managed to get mine back on again myself so wondering if it will end up with a double review lol.

Esmer when I was cleaning I thought of you and how embarrassed I'd be if you ever had to [STRIKE]risk[/STRIKE] have any of my baking! I did almost message you to ask how I could rescue my baking disaster but was too far gone by then! God may love a trier, but I think he has told me to give up baking after this one.

OH also asked me if it 'was as bad as the banana bread'. I think today may have summed up my baking skills for you all!!

stepmum so sorry to hear your sad news

skier hope your knee is better soon

twinkle I can't bake either. I can just about mange to make cakes for the family but have never made them for school fairs

esmer I wish my cakes looked like yours, they are fantastic. what size cases do you use for your cupcakes. I will have a go at using your recipes. I do like to try:rotfl:

I think my luck has ran out on the new site:(

we have just been to evensong at Durham cathedral where the boys were singing. they were both shattered though and were in tears. wasn't much I could do as I was sitting over the other side but they got through it:(

Hope all you ladies are relaxing and being pampered tonight!
OH said he would cook (he has only cooked once before on my birthday a few years ago lol) tonight so I could have one night off but he still isn't home, I think this is a ploy to get out of it!
He did get me a nice mug, some chocs and a cute tatty teddy heart cushion bless him.

I still have 6 open surveys on T, I had 7 open yesterday but have no more points today so have no clue which one has gone wrong, I should start writing them down really, its putting me off doing any more at the moment.

Good news re yesterdays listings - I have 3 items bid on already up to £15

Skiergirl hope your knee gets better soon

Hi everyone, just returned from a weekend away and found so many posts only now caught up

elysia £2000 for insurance, letter come for DS insurance renewal £14000.....:eek::eek::eek:

Just as well I never put any bumps he had through the insurance, one someone drove into him and drove off so we didnt claim, the other one the bonnet flew open and wrote off his car.... we decided not to claim so the insurance wouldnt go up and its £14000.00
fourteen thousand pound, the cheapest i found is £3200.00....so far:(

Best get some things on ebay
