    Today I was given 4 cartons of orange juice, a few sticks of rock, a teatowel and a box of biscuits from my lovely Mum & Dad :)

    Lots of hugs were exchanged :)

    Yesterday my mum gave me some newspapers and takeaway food containers so that today I could give them to my printing class (for protecting the worktops, and storing paint).

    She also gave me some all butter shortbread, - I keep forgetting to give the the tarte tatin I have in the freezer for her. :o O h but I did give her a book of crosswords and a cup of coffee. :)
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    I'm so loving this thread - keep them coming.
    So far the best is giving a hug - can't beat it.
    Group huggle anyone?

    Hello again

    Yesterday a friend of mine bought me a cappathingy - you know, nice coffee!

    The day before that a lovely friend in the village kindly gave the use of her mum to stitch a costume for my son's upcoming school play - I was relieved coz I didn't have a clue where to start!

    An umbrella. I had left my coat at work and opened the curtains of my hotel to see it sheeting down. As I left, a man came in and I said I envied his brolly and he said take it. So I did. What a lovely thing to do!

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    My Mum gave me a Herman today - already baked. My sister, son, Mum and cousin have all had Herman's and have all asked if I wanted one (the raw ingredients, not a baked one) but I said no because I didn't have 3 other people who hadn't already had one, to give to! Poor Mum doesn't have anyone to give them too either so she actually baked 4 cakes instead!

    I ended up doing that too. The cake freezes really well and I have made nana and choc chip, apple and blackberry and apple and choc chip. When finished, I hoped we could lose some weight but was then given another Herman !!

    The one my Mum gave me has cinnamon in it. :) I've also heard apples are very good in it.
