Does anyone know if you change auger for sweetner is it the same weight s eg 8oz sugar then I use 8oz of sweetner seems loads as very light

I haven't got a clue lol

Mrs_Chip

No Jem, deff not!

Some sweeteners are not heat stable, so are no good for cooking with.

You will need to find (probably on the website of the sweetner you have) whether it can be used in baking, and if so how to substitute it.

Afternoon everyone.

Cold gloomy day today. OH & I Popped out this morning to grab some milk and got caught in the down pour. Just our luck.

SQ: We know how you feel with the early morning’s starting again. So early wind down this evening. I’m cooking some dinner now, Then its ready for baths, ect.

OH is all packed up for a long shift tomorrow. She is starting at 5am and working through to the early hours of Tuesday. Before heading back to work Tuesday morning at 7am. So knowing this I’m planning for a grumpy - achy - OH.

I’ve been searching the web about these carpets and it seems it could be down to the underlay. We don’t know (Neither does the EA) whether they have been replaced since the carpet was laid. I cant imgaine that they have as we seem to have found another issue with the house.

MOULD! Its appearing everywhere. And the attic is now pudding with water through condensation. Its ruining our belongings in there and in the house. As quick as I’m cleaning it its reappearing again. We have decided to write a letter to the estate agents because something has to be done about this. The landlord is happy to up the rent x2 months ago yet not prepared to make the changes needed to make sure our properties is looked after.

Sorry for the rant…Better get going as the tatties are waiting, much love and many hugs to you all x

Wind is horrid here too and we have had heavy rain all day. Starting to get deep pools of water build up in back garden and at front too. OH is bringing sand bags home tomorrow as I am getting worried.

Monna so glad you are feeling better, and that you have a really chilled day tomorrow.

I have hire car again this week after difficult week trying to get parts for little car. I had to admit defeat today and hire a car so that OH can use our tank to get to work. He can't find his licence again and has a history of bumping hire cars so we usually end up him taking ours while I end up with the hire. Nervous though driving strange car in such bad weather.

It's our anniversary today and we are supposed to go or for dinner -I have vouchers to use up but the weather is definitely putting me off.
