    well I had a real achievement today - after 25 years living in Yorkshire today I made Yorkshire puds that looked like Jamie Oliver's!

    It's the first time I've made them in the new oven, and they rose incredibly! I was amazed - normally I let o/h make them as he's better at it than I am.
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j
  • Most clothes now put away, just the boys to do in the morning (there sleeping so don't want to waken them). Ozzy's room has been cleaned out and he's got his first bath followed by flea/worming stuff. He seems to enjoy the bath and had been running about like a headbin since my last post so he's now exhausted and sleeping. :D

    Now to go and finish my book..

  • Is it bad I found the words door sausage hilarious? :o

    Well I had a jolly good chuckle too :D

    Bonnie, big congrats on the early success of your business :beer:

    Thank you :) it's been slow over the summer, but steady-ish, and I've spent most of my spare time researching & reading & learning... all to be used in the future, hopefully! Of course, I have had great flylady inspiration :A xx

    I can't find my list but I have done stuff... including making cauliflower & courgette cheese :drool::drool:

    So glad to hear your DD loved her time in London, CY! As LW says, hope she is resting for a few days now x

  • Well, about 5 mins after I last posted, OH opened the office door and asked if I fancied popping into town for a drink - well, it would have been rude not to! Back home now.

    Cyclingyorkie - well done on the Yorkies. Mine are normally OK-ish, with the odd blip. Last month I had a catering job on and the client asked would I do Roast Beef and Yorkies? Of course, I said. I seriously went into "oh crap" mode. I spent the month beforehand making toad in the hole and yorkies about twice a week for a month. On the night of the do, I stood there with my cookbook, egg, milk and flour, sieve and whisk and produced the BEST YORKIES OF MY LIFE! I can't tell you my relief lol.

    You traitor! (please bear in mind I am originally from the NW too)

    Lol - I got the first Mil (married 29 years ago this week) to teach me how to make Yorkshires. I can make excellent ones, now I have a new oven!
