    How did the conversation with your parents go Steph? xxx

    It went fine, they said i'm an adult now and we all do stuff we regret and that if I try really hard I will never be in debt again because I will have learnt the hard way... Couldn't be closer to the truth!

    I went there today too and no word was mentioned of it but it was a bit awkward now they know..

    *Big hugs* Jemma - families can be really tough, very embarrassing and difficult to avoid :(. Family meals are definitely "grit your teeth and it'll be over soon". I hope you have a fab time with your friends tomorrow :) x

    Nah I'm a softie really, just know how to defend myself if someone attacks me :D I started in my first year at uni and spent most of it at the bar as the social side was great but at least I know what to do if I get bottled, knifed, strangled or generally roughed up. Think it will be a surprise as I don't look like I could hurt anyone but I thrown guys at 20st over my shoulder in training which is good fun! :rotfl: Honestly everyone should try it as it's fab getting thrown about and you mustn't forget the drinking side of it... :rotfl:

    I've had to put the bread in the slow cooker as I thought the oven was broken oops, it's not though.

    I'd definitely recommend people give making their own jams, marmalades and lemoncurd a try. I'm making lemoncurd and it's soooo simple. 4 lemons, 200g sugar, 3 eggs, 1 egg yolk, 100g butter and you've made enough to put 1 pot in the fridge and 1 pot in the freezer. I'll post the bbc recipe for it when I'm back on the laptop. I photographer over 120 items today, next step is listing eep
