  • Bummer! Is it fixable or can you just go with runny:o

    I can't even get away with soft-set at the moment so I'll try boiling it up again and see what happens!

    ETA It definitely wrinkled on the saucer test for setting point grrr

    !!!!!!, it didn't set :(
    However, at least no burnt bottom this time (and mine too has recovered :rotfl:)

    Bacon butty for lunch
    Steak, potato salad, asparagus & courgette for dinner

    Emergency pre-holiday diet starts tomorrow (<2 weeks :eek:) - problem is that I'm out for lunch tomorrow, out for dinner on Tuesday, out for dinner on Wednesday, out for lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant on Friday and I have no willpower - oh dear!

    We did walk 8 miles this afternoon though :A

    Hope you can get the jam rescued MWC, what a pain!

    Did the pedometer work again after it's little diving event?

    Pre-holiday diet? Sounds like you should be able to walk off any excesses whilst you're away! Not long now! x
