    Yep, I even put the jelly into little screw-top plastic jars.... remind me *never* to buy cakes tho .... over the course of the afternoon and evening, disaster struck :rotfl::o:rotfl::o:rotfl::o as Lula or Pippi would say, the little baby muffins pulled their wrappers off and threw themselves at me, in a desperate suicide bid. And I let them .... I'm a baaaaad person :eek: :D:D:D

    Anyway, today is a no-paid-work day, but with having had very little sleep because of those baaaaad muffins, I'm up already and slaving over a hottish computer ... list of to-do is made, and I'll post up a ta-da list later.

    You poor thing - and those naughty muffins, shame on them.

    Hope the computer don't get too hot today - have a rest later if you're inclined and the pesky baby muffins let you.,

    I have a similar problem today - it is the Macmillan coffee morning at work. People bring in cakes, and we pay 50p for each one.

    Because I am a kind and generous sort, who wants to do her bit for charrrridy, I am suffering the fate that is chocolate brownies for breakfast.

    By the end of the day, Macmillan will have done rather well out of me, I am sure.

    But Hypno it is still cheaper than Nero's and you can feel very virtuous too. :)

    Morning, back from Cardiff midnight last night as missed my connecting train. Very tired and need to start a heavy day of presentations preparation but couldnt resist a very quick catch up. See your jelly set, attacked by mini muffins, skip surfing, gardening, reduced shopping. Wow you have had a busy week.
