As always, a beautiful cake Nana You really are inspiring!
I will invite the in laws round for dinner and cook them a vegan banquet - that way I can just explain how we are trying to be dairy free pescatarians for our fertility

I had a terrible migraine yesterday and ended up going to bed at just gone 9 I only managed to juice fast for breakfast and lunch, I have zero will power when it comes to food and exercise

I plan to have the laziest of lazy days today as back to work tomorrow BUT have accidentally ended up just working Monday and Tuesday! Will be able to make loads of new things for the business as it is looking very bare

After rude present receiving last week, we are going to Aldis to get my cousins childrens Easter bits. They will have a chocolate rabbit each, I know there will be complaints from the younger two (is that it etc) but I just don't care!

Betsie2010-Thinking of you all. xx


Nanamia-Im glad you werent actually feeling low, sorry just assumed. Have a great time at the cinema, I love the cinema! Have you decided what you are going to watch yet? Love the cake. All the great cake makers on here have definitely inspired me to have a good bash at DS' birthday cake! :j

OMO-Your camper is fabulous, you've done such a lot of hard work on it! Definitely a gem to keep! Id love one myself.


Trendyjenny-You are definitely on the ball with this wheres wally project!

Feisty-What a great idea to invite your ILs round for a vegan feast!

I bought BIL a small christmas present from Asda yesterday, a PGA towel thingy and ball brush thing in a set (definitely not clued up with golf stuff lol!) for £1!! :j Pleased at what Ive got for Christmas so far especilly the things for BIL as I usually struggle a bit with him.
I need to go and take some photos for ebay now as I need to have a mammoth listing session tonight! Only managed to get a few things listed last week which should pay for DS' party food but I need to make some holiday money too!

oooo well done moneysavingmumofone, I find buying for men really hard!

Well the detox has taken it's toll on poor DH, I am really worried as he seems to be feeling terrible. We're not sure if he has just ended up ill or it is due to too much vegetables and his medications

I had an unexpected phone call from PC world yesterday. They phoned to tell me that if my laptop wasn't back by the 4th April then I could phone to declare it written off and they would send me a voucher for it's worth It will probably be about £200 - not sure if it is possible to spend it on anything else in-store or whether it has to be a laptop (which we have now replaced). It will probably turn up late on April 3rd

Hi Everyone, At least with all the snow we can pretend it's nearly Christmas

Can I ask some advice please? I know on the old 'let it snow' thread there were people who were making sweetie cones. I'm doing them for my grandaughter's birthday party in May but I'm not sure how early I can make them. I'll be including rainbow drops and the little white choc buttons with hundreds and thousands on plus other sweets (will be buying them though, not making them myself as I'm useless at anything like that) but if I open the packets and repack them in the cellophane cones, how long will they be ok for? I'm just not sure if sweets go off. Can anyone help please?

Evening everyone,
It has been absolutely freezing here today, no more snow but just so cold! Apparently we are having a blooming cold Easter as well! Will just have to do some baking in a warm kitchen i think:)
NANAMIA that cake is really gorgeous, oh i bet they will be so pleased with it, i love your designs, you really have a lovely style! I do follow FLYLADY thread but i just copy and paste into word that days jobs then follow as and when i can, but it just helps me get things done, you know what we are all like for lists!
FEISTY i hope you and DH are feeling a bit better, i will keep fingers crossed for your voucher!
BETSIE it must be so upsetting for you and your BF, what a lovely friend you are being there for her. My DS is coming home for a few days after easter from uni, i cant wait, i miss him so much, but then i hate him going back afterwards, are you like that or is it just silly old me?
TRENDYJENNY well done you, how are you feeling at the moment?
MONEYSAVINGMUMOFONE i have just put some bits on facebay, i hope they sell as it will give us some money to buy some nice bits for easter
PEPPAPIG sorry i cant help, i havent made them before so not sure

moneysavingmumofone

Feisty-Is he possibly lacking in Iron? Hope the laptop stays awol hehe. I find certain men SO hard to buy for, BIL usually gets an aftershave set lol and I think most of my brothers tshirt collection is from me haha. x

Peppapig-I think the chocolate buttons would last a while but not sure on the rainbow drops, Think they might go stale quicker. Sorry Im not much help lol, Ive only ever made 2 impromptu night before ones for Valentines lol.

Ive only managed to list 2 things on ebay, the camera batteries have run out and cant find any more bah!

moneysavingmumofone

Hope your ebay stuff sells well Freespirit, one of my items had a bid on it within minutes which never happens lol. x

Trendyjenny

Think rainbow drops would go stale after few days x choc wouldn't last that long in my house lol x
