    Morning all

    60 in 60 can be anywhere in the house - not just the kitchen

    Silicone I like for mini muffins, I don't have any loaf ones so use tins for that sort of cake. I do have some others I don't use often, one very large and I might get the other out and try something in it. Anyone trying yorkshire puddings in them?

    DS2 and 3 away to school we have a good 5cm of snow but schools are thankfully open (one late start but he's gone as usual due to bus times and he went with a neighbour instead).

    Cuppa, shower, hair cut in that order for me then some flying.

    Morning, feeling a bit grumpy this morning after having an arguement with DD2. She's got back pain after doing drumming yesterday which I quite understand but she wanted the day off school. She's had quite a lot of time off due to illness and her attendance is very low :o so we can't afford for her to have anymore time off. She b!tched and moaned, shouted at DD1 and was generally unpleasant but did finally get out of bed. Then she wanted a note so she didn't have to do P.E which is fine although she had a note last Monday for the same reason :( and then she wanted me to drive her to school when I said no she stormed out.

    Monday - Kitchen

    Is she sitting corrrectly while doing her drumming? My 15 y/o plays and has never once mentioned back pain. My 10 y/o has permanent back pain due to her cerebral palsy and rarely complains, ibuprofen and paracetamol and off to school!

    PE will help as it will loosen the muscles and make it feel better.
