Evening everyone

Apologies as I haven't read back, I hope everyone is ok and is coping with their lot. Just logged on to tell you I don't think I got the letting agent job. I was in the office today and not one word said about it. Also there was a girl there shadowing our agent. I am actually relieved. I wasn't ready for it and think ill stick to children. It means that I won't need to get into debt over buying a car ready for 2 weeks time. That was my real worry!

And breathe! All systems go for 10am tomorrow. I've done my gas readings and found we have used £170 just this month in gas. I am so relieved to be leaving here. It will be interesting to see what next months gas usage is

Has anyone tried getting the cordials with sugar in lately? I am having to get ds cartons of juice because we both hate the no added sugar stuff. I need to take my glasses and have a good look for some as I discovered the one we used to buy in Lidl now says in very small letters no added sugar yet they have the one we didn't buy labeled in larger light blue lettering. Why are they different labels, it's the same brand???

Unless it is supposed to fool the kids. Only works if they can't read.

I have a carrier bag of fruit in the freezer so I think I will make my own cordials.

grandma - I am having the same issue, my DS14 cannot have the no added sugar juices (on advice of dietician) and I cannot abide the taste either. I had always bought the ALdi Hi-juice but that has all gone NAS recently too, I can see me having to go to buying R!bena or similar to be honest.

Good luck Fuddle, hope it all goes smoothly. I bet you're gagging to get your tree up.

GQ - hope you're on the mend soon x

I was here but I wandered off reading Kidcats blog then onto another blog ....but Im back now. We still have no Chrimbo tree but hope to address that problem Monday, OH offered to get me a small real one but think I will pass on that for now.

Does anyone know what I can use in a sweetie recipe that says corn syrup? I dont want to go searching for it anywhere but the recipe is yummy looking and I really need to make the sweeties - purely for research purposes of course.

GINNY - Golden Syrup would do the trick and not cost you a fortune at the health food shop - Cheers Lyn xxx. It must be a wonderful feeling being on the cutting edge of sweetie research, much respect and gratefulness comes your way!!!!!!!

Ginny - can you get to Ikea? they are selling real trees they were at £25 with a £20 voucher to spend in store in January, but many people are reporting that their Ikea are selling the trees even cheaper and they are still getting the voucher, I know someone whose branch were selling them for £10.
