2) Cake! (from friend who asked for help to make sure it all got eaten while it was still fresh)

Crikey. Don't you feel she's taking advantage of your friendship? I suppose it's good she feels she can turn to you in her hour of need .

ETA: I have no friends with cake

I'll bake you a cake GG, but you will have to come here to eat it

Sticky ginger lemon drizzle cake be ok

Alchemilla

mmmm cake.
Good friends are definitely to be thankful for.

OOhhh all this talk of cake reminded me..I've still got some of my mum's amazing christmas cake wrapped up in a tin. That's brekkie sorted then

Glad I'm making you all happy with virtual cake. Need to bake a real one later this afternoon for friend who's birthday is tomorrow. I asked her husband what she would most like as a present, and he said "a homemade cake that she hasn't had to bake for herself", so that's easy and MSE. It'll be something to do with DD too, so good mum-daughter bonding time.

Thanks for posting, Peonie, gally, Radish, Alchemilla and pix. :wave:

Just wanted to make sure that credit for the "5 things I'm grateful for today" idea goes to Alchemilla, because I shamelessly copied it from her. Check out her diary here.

And the 5 for today are:
1) Dog walk with DD today
2) Sleep this afternoon
3) Watching DVD with DS
4) Haven't got to go to work tomorrow because it's Sunday
5) Friends (especially the one who sent me text messages today)

lovely idea both

had a go myself and came up with

1) being a bit richer today than this time yesterday thanks to a lovely unexpected bonus
2) No need to go out today so its pjs in a lovely warm house which is nearly mine
3) Sausage casserole in the slow cooker for dinner :j
4) Having a job to moan about having to go to tomorrow
5) Being healthy enough to enjoy the day

Lovely to have you joining in with the "grateful for 5 things" challenge, Iced Bun.

Must go and get DS's food tech ingredients for tomorrow before the shops shut. (Ought to be more organised about this. )
