Making chicken feed of my mortgage

  • I've had cake for breakfast :o

    I don't particularly like the second cake either so, in the interests of my waistline and my reputation at work as a good baker, they are going in the compost bin :(

    Morning MWC

    Your idea of a lazy day is somewhat different to mine :o:p but it sounds like a good one all the same

    Sorry the cakes were not successful

  • I love buying fruit and veg with leaves too :D But alas on the cakes - maybe your tastebuds are a little frayed after all the medication/ailments of late? I'm finding it hard to eat sweet things at the moment due to my own shenanigans.

    Well done on the OnePolling - it gets addictive ;)

  • Amazed to hear that your girls are still laying, MWC. Mine have virtually stopped, I seem to get one a day, if that.

  • Just catching up MWC

    I am so sorry you have been so poorly, but glad you are on the mend now.

    Really irritating when cake recipes arn't as good as they sound.

    Take care and rest up.
