Just the nine years in the freezer then eh Cheryl? :rotfl:

:rotfl:

but it appears I'm getting a reputation at work for attempting to freeze anything that stays still long enough.......

a customer asked my bakery manager a question today (which I didn't hear), and I was then called over as my manager assured the customer that if anyone knew the answer it would be me!!!

Q : is is possible to freeze the jam doughnuts?
A : they do freeze, but they're much heavier afterwards. best way to eat them is to actually give them a quick blast in the microwave (after defrosting them fully) and eat them warm

customer looked surprised at the answer, at which my manager assured her I seem to have tried freezing most things we make in store - and that I'm definitely the one to take advice from on this type of thing

Got your outfits for the Marathon? Remember the plan is to come dressed to represent your user name...and we need volunteers to run behind Hubert with the dustpan and shovel so as to keep the road clear for all the runners behind us.

Here's my outfit, but I'm def not on dustpan duty!

Brilliant!

I'm afraid I have that reputation too, although after opening it up the other day, It seems that Mr spider who has been lurking in our kitchen, crawled in when I wasn't looking. Don't think I'll be popping him on my plate My other thing is saying 'don't throw that, we can use it for something'. Ooh eck!


And on that note, reporting in with number 6 today. keep on truckin' everyone. xx

Had an unexpectedly (and badly planned) spendy weekend but did manage to catch no 6 yesterday. Hopefully this week will be better. Have a good day everyone.

Really cross with myself yesterday, DS was with Aunty while I went to work and I picked him up from retail park where she works... right next to £stretcher :eek: Spent £20 on some gardening things when I could have got a NSD :mad::mad:

I have a list of things to get which we avoided in Mr T's the other night too (cheaper elsewhere!) so I reckon they'll wait til tomorrow so I can try for a NSD today.... :j DS on holiday now so got a long list of things to do which will hopefully keep me occupied and away from any retail outlets whatsoever :rotfl::rotfl:
