    Thanks both..brilliant news re the plants kerri!

    I will try and glean the recipe from Mr B and get it posted up here.

    Away for work again this eve but feeling much more positive. Getting paid for my work expenses too helps..makes those spreadsheets feel better!

    Counting down the days to being DF! As I have said before it's an obsession. I may then start a MFW diary! ;)
