tis ok lemon is fruit and you can have fruit on a diet therefore you can have lemon drizzle cake on a diet.

I have already heard this analogy today chicky - in Mr S's - there they were - lemon muffins on bogof. My DH tried telling me then that they were good for us as lemons were fruit and fruit is good for us ...... He eventually sneaked them into my mum's shopping as he knew she would offer him one later with a cup of tea.

Considering the choccy/vegetable thing Louise :think::think::think: - certainly being tempted - the night is still young

Soooo...using that system....

Chocolate = cocoa beans
Beans = vegetable

Therefore chocolate should be classed as a vegetable so I can have some...

Right??

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

thats stretching the theory a little bit.... however if you break the chocolate the calories fall out therefore you can eat it.

There are special rules for chocolate - if someone else buys it for you the calories are halved, and if you buy it on line - ther eare no calories at all!

chicky i'm so sorry but i had to laugh at someone wanting a photo of an empty box. I got asked for a pic of a brick when my son was giving some away . After 5 offers and still no collection i fleabayed them for him. lol

My 2 eldest sons used to share an apartment and one went to the us and the other moved in with his girlfriend so we needed to dispose of everything and most things were only 6 months old and i got messages asking were the couches and wardrobes etc from ikea as they only liked ikea stuff another asked me where we bought them from and how much did they cost . Oh and a 42 " tv is useless unless it's a plasma i was told by one. I did get over 400 requests for the x box though . In the end i went on and called them a bunch of ungrateful label grabbers and told them they were all so rude i wasn't giving anything away. lol
I phoned the council and a man came and took everything including the plates and pans to give to a charity he helped that gave to people with nothing.

I'm glad choccy has no calories i've just eaten some opps. very naughty though as i'm also diabetic.

Well I didn't give in to the choccy temptation - had to keep my hands clean so I could stitch lol

Louise - glad your dads news was a little better and that they are willing to offer treatment. Haven't you been a busy girl - I wish I had your dedication to get things finished. Still plodding along with mine. Love your blog by the way. Kepp thinking about starting a blog but not sure how to go about it.

I was supposed to be on Cub camp this weekend but came home last night as my back wasn't holding up too well, left hubby and son there!!! Spent about 2 hous last night just getting descriptions typed into word ready to list some kits on ebay later. Still have about half left to describe, then need to weigh them, work out postage and take photos. don't suppose it will be worth doing but at least I will have given it a go. In the process I have decided to keep quite a few, couldn't bring myself to part with them (a lot belonged to my mum and the ones I have kept she really liked).

Anyway off to have a quick update over on the sewing thread and then back to descriptions. Doubt if I will get any stitching done.

Have a good day everyone.

Marru. Glad you like the stand and frame, you will wonder how you ever managed without them soon


Louise. Hope your Dads treatment goes really well. Love the Princess design, that was some quick stitching!

You make such beautiful stuff!!! :T

I have a blog but there is nothing crafty in there. Click my username and go to Marru's homepage to see it.

Ailsb - Good luck etting your stuff oranised. I was tempted to list some stuff on ebay this weekend but truthfully...I couldn't be bothered It's not the loading it, that's fine - its the wrapping it and posting it that is so tedious. Hope your back is feeling better soon x

Btw - it took me ages to get started blogging, but it's easy once you get the hang of it. And nice to be able to look back over your stuff

Shelly - Thanks x

Marru - Following you now - the tooth fairy story made me chuckle
