Morning flyfriends

Been sitting on my big butt all morning as OH was here to drop kiddies at school so I'm a slow starter today. I have however put the cages in the wardrobes and sorted clothes into them. Cleared the livingroom floor and stuck on the WM and made my bed. DS1 has left my hall full of junk after it being all lovely yesterday.

Got a txt last night from DS2 and DD's dancing teacher classes are off on Saturday so I'm a tenner up only to get a letter off DS2 saying that if he wants to learn drums at school I need to pay £150:eek: it's only free now for people in reciept off free school dinners:mad::mad:.


I did my bathroom yesterday so I'm actually off to a fying start;)

Afternoon all

I've done the bathroom/toilet today. Also washed the towels, tea towels etc and they have dried already and been folded and put away.

Been to the vets again, back next Monday. Some serum made from the cat's blood today and more drops ordered to be picked up Saturday. Still feels like voodoo to me.

I haven't got a DW, sorry for those who are missing theirs but I really don't mind washing up at all and I've never longed for a dishwasher!

I know I'm weird.

Can you do mine then? :D We don't have space for one, so I feel like I'm continually washing up! Groan.

Hi all
Apologies if typing is bad - I've hurt my right hand/arm, got a crepe bandage on it, and it hurts like bu88ery if I do anything with it.:( No idea what's caused it - just started yesterday, and is worse today. Anyways, am typing one-handed.:D

have taken a home-made tiramisu out of the freezer.

*drools* Is it veggie-friendly? (Some bought ones contain gelatin, I know_pale_) Do you have a recipe? Pretty please?

OH boy, I am late today, sorry miss!
HAd a nasty nightmare woke up sobbing, dreamt DP left me because no 2nd child, luckily he was still asleep through it all,

(((HUGS))) Nightmares are horrid! I know; have suffered with them all my life. It's got to be recent events have brought it on; you know it's not going to happen in RL, but I know it can seem so real when you're in the nightmare. I hope you have a better night tonight.

[FONT=&quot]LW don’t worry about the psychiatric assessment, all they will do is just chat to you and ask you questions. But beware they do have a nasty habit of getting things out of you that you thought you would keep to yourself. I am forever having these assessments as part of my ongoing treatment I think I could do them with my eyes closed now..lol. *Hugs*[/FONT]

Aww, thanks Natty. :ASomehow I knew you'd be along with some info for me; I think this is desperation on the GP's part, sending me for this - we've exhausted all her options, I'm on the highest dose of anti-d's I can have, and still the BD plagues me.:( But there's no deep, dark secrets causing it, it's the here and now I can't handle - just so totally sick and tired of being sick and tired! So they can probe all they want, there's nothing for them to get out of me! Mr LW will be with me (I need him to push the wheelchair, in any case - specially now, with one paw out of commission). Anyways - no idea what's happened with you as I'm not on FB, but have a Wolfy (((HUG))).

Right -the Flying bit.... well, it's going to be ...er... interesting to say the least - how does one clean the loo one-handed, when you have a loo seat that doesn't stay up when it's put up?:rotfl:

I think I'll post'n'delete what's already done/not needed, so that I can easily see what's left. Lucky I did the kitchen on Tuesday, as I fear it's going to take me the rest of the day to finish dusting the lounge!:eek:

Lost the post with the recipe, so am trying again. This make lots. Get out lots of dishes as you van cling film and freeze the leftovers:

Pkt sponge fingers or leftover cake
Espresso or concentrated instant coffee
Rum or other booze
500g mascarpone
5 eggs, separated
5 tbsp sugar
Cocoa powder

Whisk egg whites till stiff. In a separate bowl beat egg yolks, sugar and mascarpone (I do all this in the magimix, especially when doing larger quantities). Stir egg white carefully into mascarpone mixture.

Spread a thin layer of mascarpone over the bottom of the dish. Cover with a layer of booze and coffee soaked biscuits. Cover with mascarpone mixture. Sprinkle a thick layer of cocoa powder over the top (I do this through a tea strainer). Leave overnight in the fridge to set. Freeze what you don't eat.

I make this for my friend to serve to her italian inlaws and they think she's a genius. I picked up the recipe when I was working in a restaurant in Florence.
