Well I've started the big clear up today, its a

'Now the kids have left its time to reclaim the house' campaign

Not done too bad this morning, tided the baking cupboard before doing 2 mincemeat loaves for youngest son and found 3 jars of mincemeat from the time it was a silly price in Sada.

I've been doing another box of store cupboard food and one of toiletries and cleaning stuff for him so I've filled another 2 boxes to go up to him via his mate or via ourselves. while I was playing Tetris in the under the bed store I found a bag with a perfume spray and a hair colour that I'd forgotten I'd got in Boots from the sale shelf so that will be good for a refresh in between hairdressers visits.

Nothing as good as the forgotten bottle of Gordons we found at the back of the gin cupboard a few weeks back but I don't think you could ever top that.

Sophie the tortoiseshell cat dragged home a baby rabbit as big as herself - even if we eat rabbit it wasnt even big enough for a rabbit sandwich :rotfl:

If its not a closely guarded family recipe I would love a copy of the mincemeat cake details - I've got several jars that need using ! TIA.

You have a gin cupboard :eek:

Yes - it actually has 2 Gin bottles, one Gordon's and one duty free. Actually people keep leaving other bottles of alcohol in this cupboard now as well - part finished bottles of whiskey, Disarano, Grants and Southern Comfort - these are not ours, but I think the kids now have had the waste not want not ethic so drummed into them when they go to parties and they find a left over bottle it comes home with them

Our fridge is even posher, it has a yogurt shelf and a chocolate shelf

Good morning, all! :j


I'm so glad this is the first post I cam across during my catch up
:rotfl::rotfl:

On that, though. I recently took all the family for a bite to eat there and loved the new menu. Loads of meals that come with a free drink and make them cheaper (when the kids want J2O) than a kid's meal!

Why is it that kids always want a J2O when they are out, Wetherspoons was the only place mine were allowed them from when they were younger. Pretty decent price anyway but yes their meal offers even better. :T

Afternoon all, horrible day down here and it is making me feel horrible.

It uses about half a jar and I put the rest in the fridge for the next loaf.

I dont think the almonds are crucial so I dont use these. But I do tend to put a drop of vanilla essense and Ive got orange essense as well and I dont think a little bit of mixed spice or ground ginger would do any ahrm either.

I only had plain flour so I used baking powder as a raising agent and 3 small eggs rather than 2 large as thats what I had left.

What I tend to do is to cut thick slices, wrap them and freeze them so you have a slice ready to go straight into a lunch box
