We should start up our own little DFW baking and sweet treats club! I've already got two new recipes to try thanks to threads on here!! I like fudge but I'd prefer virtual brownies if there's any going!! :j
hehe! a moment on the virtual lips, a lifetime on the virtual hips!!! :rotfl::rotfl:
A baking and sweet treats club sounds amazing! We could post up recipes and pictures on them on there too - virtual 'eye candy' so to speak top pick us up when we're having a down day!!!! To compliment Hok3y's positive thinking board! :T
Hmmm, I wonder if we should set one up?

Wegle, it's just building up to the big one for you!

Aw crimson! Do you like looking for bank rec discrepancies because I would be happy to make a space for you on the team!!
. I'll even fill the dish with your choice of sweet stuff if you can find the 462 bl**dy pounds that currently evade me! I'm tracking it down all day tomorow with every number crunching weapon I have in my arsenal.....which includes highlighters, adding machines, csv files, copious amount of tea and occasional swearing.....
Actually i do. I have to do it frequently for my own records and i help out at the bird garden and have to do it there to see who has paid their membership

Hi HOK
What a fab diary, very inspirational and motivational. I too believe in positive thinking and have read "the Secret" and other similar books. I manage it around 80% of the time at the moment.
Anyway I've just popped in to say well done! You gooooooooooooooo girl :T:T:T:T:T:T xxThe past is over & done & cannot be changed. This is the only moment we can experience - Louise Hay"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."-- Buddha0 -
