make the easy peasy banoffee cheesecake

crush digestives and gingernuts biscuts up, blend with butter/marg, press into a cake tin... leave to set, spread base with caramel condensed milk, top with sliced bananas, then top with dream topping.

Thats going to have to be some sized cheesecake if I am only topping it with all these bananas

Just nearly hugged the postie with my gift cards :j

Morning, very cold here, was -1 when I done the school run.

It would be you have a Bart shaped hole in your door :rotfl:

The beast has been on good behaviour, he's been exercising by running up and down stairs to get toys that I keep throwing down for him. He seems to be mastering returning them but does get easily distracted and tries to quickly turn on the narrow stairs until he remembers he has to keep going the way he's facing, quite funny to watch his confusion :rotfl:

He hasn't wrecked anything in the past day so fingers crossed that's him stopped:). I now have the 2 baby gates on the kitchen, will be picking out my new door tomorrow (pensioners day at B&Q) but know I will have to move the top baby gate up or down to get it to fit because to parts of door that are on at the moment won't close properly because of where the gate is. I've attached a bit of chain link fencing between both gates so the dogs can't get out while I'm not there. It's like they're in prison :rotfl:
The dogs love their extra beds and I'm loving not having to move them each night, both have exhausted themselves and are veging out on their beds but waiting for the chance to jump on the sofa beside me which won't be happening until after lunch at the earliest.

Off to do a bit of work, will catch up later.

Glad to hear

Thankyou, this cheered me up last night. Even got my DH doing it....:rotfl:


:(My beautiful pure white house cat:A of nine years was put to sleep on Saturday morning, totally out of the blue and a real shocker to us all. She was fine at 9:30am .. Giving me evils because I was using the hair dryer and she wanted to go to sleep on my bed. She took off in a huff. Then around 10 minutes later she was unable to stand and was trying to pull herself across the floor using her front paws only. Apparently she had a blood clot and there was nothing the vets could have done. I miss her terribly and keep "seeing" her out of the corner of my eye. I guess as a post said earlier we never really appreciate what we have until it's too late!

Thanks for letting me share- just needed to off load.
I know I've read lots of posts on here with people who are having challenging times and I wish them all well. ((()))

Tears now wiped! Time for a cuppa.

(((hugs to you))) I have cats so I know how you must be feeling :(:( The only thing that helps is time but she knew you loved her, cats always do!

Morning Wendy.

I'd be pretty fed up to.

My neighbour objected to my planning application on the grounds of "blocking light into his conservatory"

His objection was noted, until I mentioned that he'd built it ontop of his extension with out planning permission.

That shut him up.

Then he phone the fire brigade when I had a fire in my garden.

FB arrived, saw that I had the fire under control in an old cement mixer drum with a hose pipe on stand by

Now I wait until his line is full of washing and deliberately annoy him :rotfl:

Don't be bullied Wendy.

He has phoned police 3 times, 3 times they left after cup of tea and biscuits, no bother

Hi Frequent
a fellow sufferer, so you know how it feels.
Do you think they are jealous or something ?
I have lived here for thirty two years and before I was married lived three doors down, where I was born.
The "old school" neighbours are fine, its the newbies (and one other)that make my life a misery.
My bungalow is now a seven bedroom house with a two bed annexe attached, they hate me to death as we are always busy and work really hard but they just sit behind the nets plotting.
I won't let it get to me as I am a great believer of "sieze the day" which means by lunchtime I will be gathering up my wood to start again lol ( a much smaller one today me thinks, and in the day so they don't see the flames from their bedroom window, lol).
thanks for the moral support guys, it means a lot.
