    Wow, sounds fabulous. :T

    Now tell me, are you tempted to gorge yourself on all those delicious home cooked goodies - I personally find home baking very hard to resist. :o

    I confess I am tempted. :o
    Well I have to taste them first to make sure I don't poison anyone! :rotfl:
    That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! :p

    Not made bread. :o will have to do it tomorrow.
    I have now got weetabix loaf? (I'm trying the recipe) and triple choc chip brownie in the oven though. :D

    Thanks :)
    My get up and go seems to have got up and gone without me today. :(
    I can't seem to get going. I've nearly sorted out the relevant bills-if it comes off I should get the insurance I seek for over £100 less than last year and with £90 from TCB :j I'm just waiting for someone to call me back. fingers crossed. :)

    My get-up-and-go has b****red off as well for the past couple of days - my To Do list has almost exactly the same stuff on it as it had two days ago.

    Sorry the insurance didn't work out. Have you tried John Lewis insurance - I found their quote very competitive and you get a pile of cashback with Quidco.

    Hope you get-and-go comes back. :)

    Thanks peaceandfreedom. :)
    I think we need specialist insurance. :(
    My to do list is very much the same as it was this morning. :(
    I think my late night last night was a bad idea. :(
    Making up for it tonight and taking myself off to bed before 11pm. :)

    :rotfl: I've just re read my last post- I sound really busy.:p
    And up and at it at 10.18-I should think so. :rotfl:
    I am going to be busy shortly-for a couple of hours.
    Just having a coffee. Think I might resurrect my bread maker this afternoon. Just got to find the instructions.
    Right! I really must get on and do something constructive. Mr tc needs my help for a couple of hours today.
