    I may have had a small slice, just for testing purposes you realise..... :whistle::whistle:

    Did you not need a second slice to be sure? :eek: :rotfl:

    Thanks taxi :)

    It's Friday :j :j :j and half term is next week, so I have a whole week off :D :j

    We're going over to my mum and dad's tonight, as DH has managed to get the weekend off too, so that'll be lovely :) I'm hoping the weather will be alright this weekend as we're hoping to go for a couple of walks. However, it's chucking it down at the moment, so not too optimistic there :p

    It's not going to be a NSD for me today, as I need to get some petrol for the drive over :)

    We've been out for lunch today - I had a very tasty crab pate with toasted pitta bread and salad, it was very yummy :D followed by rhubarb and ginger crumble, which was also very nice, but the portion was huge so I couldn't manage it all!

    Whilst we were in town, I had a quick browse in the shops - found a really lovely cardigan that I really liked, but then noticed that a) it was cashmere and b) it was £80 :eek::eek::eek: it was swiftly put back on the rail! It was really comfortable and a really nice colour, but £80 is so expensive for a cardigan. I can't imagine ever having enough money to even consider buying some clothing that's that expensive! However, a cashmere cardigan and perhaps a cashmere jumper is definitely on my clothing wishlist... ;)

    We're having salmon with HM tartare sauce and chunky chips for tea tonight, which should be good :) I don't think we're doing much this afternoon - I'm currently watching the French Open on the tv and DH wants to watch the football later.

    I once had a cashmere cardigan that lasted me about 15 years before it sprouted a wee whole.
    Lunch sounds yum.
