I was about to copy and paste from bero website when I realised that their quantities were different to the ones in my very old bero book.

Mine are:
125g butter
125g caster sugar
200g self raising flour
3 eggs lightly beaten
100g marmalade

Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs with a smidge of flour. Add marmalade and mix. fold in the remaning flour. Bake for 1-1 1/4 hours at GM 4 (180c/350f).

We all enjoyed a slice last night

I used a silicone cake tin and found the cake came out easily - no need for soaking and easy to wash:cool:

Thank you:D
You cant mention cakes or food on here and NOT post the recipe :p

I have silicon tins, may break them out for the first time in ages:j

Have been to see Mr T and home bargains. On my return have discovered the cat has had a poorly bottom :eek: Most was in the litter tray. Floor is now clean again and tray is has been sprayed with special stuff. Cat has gone out.

Oh noes! Hope your cat gets better. What's the special stuff? Does it remove the smell? Where did you get it from? and is it just for cats? Sorry about all the questions...

Edit: Just re-read your post, my questions sound rather idiotic... I read it as the floor being sprayed with special stuff.

Don't worry it is called Johnson's Veterinary Clean n safe. Disinfectant, Cleaner, Deoderant. Bought it at a pet shop. Haven't used it much as you have to leave it on 15 mins to work. It is for Cat's & Kittens (it says on bottle "do not spray on actual animal")

I am trying to use everything up. Under my sink is full of stuff which have bought and hardly ever use. Ha Ha I must do a bin bag dance under there.

Just brought in 10 nearly dry towels. Going to have a :coffee: then sort out tea and collect DS2 from Mad Science.

• Wipe cupboards and polish mirrors! Done at the weekend

Also did the kitchen and dining room windowsnow its just the kids to do.

I have a 19 year and a 20 year old and both their bedrooms are a tip they have ruined the carpet with makeup and general carp and they are like pig sties with more clothes on the floor than in the wardrobes. Bins seem to be in the wrong place for the rubbish to land in them!!! Both seem to think its fine to live like that and I have got to the stage I give up expecting their “clean up” to be what I would call a clean up. DO I just shut the doors for a few years until they leave or go in and just get the rooms cleaned or carrying on arguing the toss? They will change sheets and towels when I present clean ones and every week on bin day present me with a carrier ofstuff and as long as I ask regularly not too much of my crockery lives with them full time but I would so love their rooms to be CLEAN AND TIDY.

Me too! Haven't found the answer yet either!

Mint1955, as soon as my late sister and myself hit 18 we were told we had to obey the house rules (which included a clean room, own laundry done, helping around the house) OR we could move out to the local YWCA! I stayed, my sister moved out
