    Think we might make banana bread today as we have some bananas that are going black so will use those up :)

    Another great tip for bananas is:
    Take the skin off, wrap them in cling film and freeze. Then they can be blended when you want to use them as banana ice cream. Makes a healthy snack for the kids and zero waste (plus less effort than baking!) They keep ok in the freezer for quite a while too!

    braddy you certainly sound enthusiastic about your job :T can I ask what you do (roughly) because I'm thinking you make quilts or CD covers or something lol. Sorry I take things literally :D

    Hiya Kittie, I'm a chat moderator on a bingo site, I use to work on 888ladies and foxy for 3 years but took some time off to have my baby, now I've got a job at another company who are amazing, so much more relaxed and the team who I work with is so friendly xx

    Well, got our holiday booked. The owners of the site emailed me after i enquired and said all the kids can go free (under 3s are free but would have had to pay for the eldest) so thats a saving. Now i have something to look forward to in 4 weeks :) We were going to stay away for a week but just doing 3 nights now so we can laminate our hallway too. Seems much more sensible.

    :) Happy happy! Anyone know if its free listings on Ebay this weekend?
