    Thanks both, it went as well as you can expect.

    I was just washing up after baking my Herman which looks like it's a bit of a flop :( went to go upstairs and my purse has been delivered :D I don't think they knocked because I didn't hear anyone!!

    Have not long ago kicked over my industrial sized fabric softener and I hadn't done the lid up properly - gah!!

    I always do things like that, I'm so clumsy! At least it smells nice. I remember the time my then baby sister split her bottle in the back of my mums car. She cleaned it about 10 times but the smell of cheesy milk was horrific. It was in the middle of summer too.....:eek:

    Eurgh it's so dark here smiley-sad040.gif looks like it's going to rain again.

    Have put everything in new purse this morning :j it's so pretty smiley-love029.gif Old purse safely tucked up in the little bag, will have to hide it away from OH so he doesn't accuse me of hoarding smiley-rolleyes010.gif

    Yuck Pencakes smiley-sick007.gif like you say at least this smells nice!!

    I'm going to try again with Herman, it tastes nice but it didn't rise. I was reading something about adding baking powder to the mix, but the instructions I had didn't mention it? I think I'll add some next time.

    :j to the lovely new purse.

    Good luck with the new Herman, I'm trying one from scratch, at first the mixture didn't bubble much so checked the yeast it was out of date by 2yrs oops, added some new yeast and now it's bubbleing nicely so fingers crossed, I'll be cooking it on Friday. :cool:

    Pencakes, I know what you mean about the milk, I did that in my old car, never did get rid of the smell _pale_
