    Red thank you for the recipe and I'd mutated a carrot cake one, but it was so heavy, mind you the flour was the oldest lumpiest I'd ever seen from the back of the cupboard - me thinks that was an issue

    Ooh mutant cake ;) I have visions if it seeping out the sides of the oven, slowly sliding along the kitchen floor and out the door to take over the world crumb by crumb! :eek: :rotfl:

    WTFC really is what the f*** - how are people supposed to manage and budget when the goalposts are moving daily :mad:

    Another busy day for you Pippi but you sounds your usual organised self.

    I was wondering if there was any news on Starnac when I was bumbling around early this morning.

    Not a huge fan of Feta but it goes brilliantly with beetroot, even just in a salad. I also love the chocolate and pear mixture, nom nom nom :)

    Max is making good steady progress and even wanted to go for a little walk today,:jokay 100yds isn't far and she was tired when she got back but when we got to the gate she just decided to start walking down the road in the directiuon we usually go.
    I can't believe how resilient she has been or how lucky I am that she's still here:D
    I'm sure all the vibes/hugs cuddles from you all have helped so once again thanks:T

    Good news indeed greenvval! :T :T

    Bleurgh to stupid WTFC - evidently trying to keep people on their toes - I reckon this is a new policy strategy to get people off benefits :mad: (well, I would if they hadn't been doing it 30 years ago to my poor mother when I was a nipper and we had no other income - I actually think it's just sheer incompetence :mad:)

    What's happened to starnac - off giving birth? ? (or am I getting muddled up with someone else?? (quite possible! :p) Push hard if you are starnac! :T :T

    Glad to hear Max is recovering GV, not been on for a while so have just followed her progress all in one go :)

    Good luck with WTFC wrestling Pippi, can't understand why they don't simplify things for everyone's sake!
