this is the recipe i use
8oz sr flour
8oz sugar
8oz porridge oats
8oz margarine
1tbsp golden syrup
1tbsp hot water
1/2 tsp bic soda
mix flour, oats and sugar, melt marg, syrup and water in a pan stir in bic soda and add to dry mix, mix well, make smallish balls and put on greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork, 180oc for 15 mins, cool on the tray, you just want them golden in oven not brown


8ozs = 225 grams

ive made variations by mixing in cranberries ive soaked in orange juice or you can drizzle melted choc over them once they are cooled.

they really are nice i cant keep up with the amount my family get through.

Anyone for a HHC at 8:30??? oops, that looks really shouty! *asks quietly and nicely* anyone for a HHC at 8:30?:oxx

pipersky

Well in my HHC I managed to:
Clean the hob
Wipe down the surfaces in the kitchen and dining area
S&S the downstairs loo
Clear a hotspot (top of the fridge = bane of my life)
Put on a load of washing

NB: the stuff from the hotspot is in a carrier bag. I'm sulking about OH always putting his junk there. Once I've stoppoed sulking I'll rehome everything

Now got to iron a few bits for tomorrow then put my feet up. Cuppa anyone ??

Yey home for the evening. Collected DS1 from work an hour and a half early - he was frozen, just doing his dinner whilst DS3 is in the bath and having a drop of wine.

Coxy11

Well after a slow start I have at least managed to do some flying today. Also made a batch of twinks hobnobs nomnomnom.

Evening

More poorlies needing hugs and peeps with work woes needing hugs too (aj especially). DH and I have both been at home today with grumbly tumblys and looks like we will both be off tomorrow as well but as we were home I decided we were going to start to declutter some of the bags and boxes of old clothes we have stashed away in the bedroom. We have only done his so far but have got 4 bags for the air ambulance and charity shop, 3 bags of rubbish and 1 of recycling, oh and of course we, correction I have had a good laugh at some of the stuff he'd kept, and I have finally managed to get him to throw the 1970's brown leather jacket thats too small even though he offered it for my 19 year old DS :eek: . Tomorrow if no better I will be going through my stuff although going the whole hog and chucking it out will be hard as I sorted a load a while ago but couldnt go the final fling but I really need to get rid. Hopefully will catch up and let you know how I get on then.
