    I think the Cake is WONDERFUL Jakes-Mum....but can I confess at being REALLY old because I have NO IDEA who or what Minecraft is!! :o!

    Looool, I wouldn't either if I had my way, it's Lily's favourite xbox game, it's almost like virtual Lego as you build a world out of blocks, but instead of being brightly coloured rectangles they are all square blocks that look like bits of ground or the side of a castle wall.

    And then Lily's favourite bit, the TNT so you can blow what you made up :o

    Afternoon all, just caught up on lots of posts.
    Welcome to new potters - best wishes with those savings.

    Ahh ladies, you need some young kids :rotfl: though I now have an image of DreamerHelen in baggy jeans with her knicker band showing out the top, and a baseball cap going up to groups of teens and talking their lingo :rotfl: I have to say I love embarassing Jake by occasionally talking like a teen . . . sometimes even with 'old people trying to be young' hand gestures :rotfl: :rotfl:

    A lovely £2 coin in th £2 coin tin today :D I have somehow managed to end up with a double order of Jakes G/F rolls so have just googled a bread and butter pudding recipe to try. Hes never had it before but he likes currants and cinnamon so going to give it a go, may not fill the dish right to the top though (as told in recipe) as I just cleaned my oven and dont want bubbling milk all over the bottom :o

If it helps I have come to work with my walking boots (my knees took a suffering last week) and a whole bag of determination. (please dont rain, please dont rain......)
