    Ooooohhhhhhh! :T :T :T :T I LOVE cake. Fruit cake, sponge cake, lemon drizzle cake, fairy cakes, brownies, whatever really :D

    (strangely, not a huge fan of chocolate cake - chocolate, yes, and cake, yes, and cake with chocolate BITs in, yes, but not chocolate cake :rotfl: But if you turn up with it I won't send you away :D)

    (I suppose I should remember I'm doing slimming world, so perhaps not *too* many cakes - but definitely some :D) :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Need to set the timer and drag myself out of the gloomy mid-afternoon depression I've sunk into :o Spending lots of time thinking 'aaaarrrrrggggghhhh' and less time being productive, as usual. Timers at the ready - I'll be back in an hour having FINISHED the thing I'm working on :T :T

    Okey dokey I shall come bearing cakes of some variety (not a massive fan of chocolate cake either so you're OK on that front) :D I'm sure tootling burns off some calories!

    Hi Missy! All ok here :) I know about the tea and cake thing! How's you?

    Well Squizz, I have been spying on you on KC's thread, and if you don't turn up with the right kind of cake you'll be scrubbing out my oven :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Which is older than me, and hasn't been cleaned since before I was born I imagine :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    So - bit disatisfied and strange today. Have ENORMOUS dragon to tackle in the morning - got to make LOTS (like 30+) scary phone calls, which I HATE doing :( Pah. But am going to take a deep breath and get on with it - first thing so I can forget about it for the rest of the day :rotfl: Pah!

    Have a great tootle tomorrow! I'm within an hour away so will be bending an ear. I'm sure I will recognize Pop goes the weasel. :D
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Gosh, I'm hoping you won't be able to hear us an hour away! :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Need to have a jolly good tidy up before Squizz gets here - let's hope she doesn't take one look and leave in disgust :rotfl: :rotfl:

    W*rk to do first, and since I'm up and ready before everyone else has even got to work (easy when you work at home!) I don't have to do the scary dragon job first :rotfl: Cup of tea first though I reckon :D

    Enjoy the visit :) I'll be seeing you soon too - somewhere in Englandshire :) in a location near both of us :)

    Cuppa here too - I need a new regime - non rushing - embracing patchwork life, tootling important things like diaries before I go off and work like a crazy patchwork beast.

    Um, that didn't come out right - Oh, and as I threw my corrections in the drawer in the office at work - I told them cheery said I'd do them after my holidays - they are niggling - but I'm not giving into the guilt - its only whispering atm.

    :)

    Oh the pressure! I will try to make sure it's very good cake then :rotfl: Don't worry about the tidying up, I'm not exactly Mrs Houseproud myself! Hope the phonecalls go well and I'll see you later :j

    Yay to visitors from near and far! :T :T :T :j :j :j :j :j :j

    Especially not-very-houseproud ones :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Pippi - glad you told those corrections you'd do them after the hols! Don't leave them til the end of your three months though - get them OUT OF THE WAY! :j :j :j :j

    Right, I really AM starting now... :o (too busy being excited about impending visitors - maybe I should have taken the day off after all :rotfl:)
