Thats my DH's favourite cake! I only make it for special occasions (well I dont want him to [STRIKE]take it for granted[/STRIKE] get bored of it do I
) I always make a victoria sponge mix
6 oz Caster Sugar
6 oz Real Butter
6 oz Self Raising Flour
3 Eggs
and then I go to town with the coffee! 3 heaped teaspoons full with a little bit of hot water to make it runny, chuck 4tsps at least in the mixture, then I make a butter cream icing to go in the middle and over the top which I also chuck 2tsps of coffee mixture in.
He doesnt like walnuts so I dont put those in
To this day, he hides them so he hasnt got to share them with Miss Lily :rotfl: I swear, once he hid in the downstairs loo just so he could eat a slice without her knowing :eek: :rotfl:SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -
Evening all, lots of new potters- good luck to you all.
Yes, that's what I do. lolI found early on I was withdrawing money just for the sake of getting change!
Keeps the card payments down though!!
I need to withdraw some notes tomorrow to get more change to feed my pot after a few small spends. Bank balance will be down a little, but the boost at the end seems like it's worth it.
3 x £1 coins potted today = £3.

Mmmmmm Jakes-Mum, coffee cake is my favourite and that is the exact recipe I use! Although I looooooove walnuts so cover the cake in them lol. Not made one for ages as doing SW and lost over 2 stone and just 4 and half lbs to go to my target. Will make a small celebratory one when I get to target. lol
Nothing to pot tonight as no change and I need to go to the Post Office tomorrow to get some cash out. Feel the need to pot a note as not potted much and I did dip into my £1 tin for some change so I need to replace that.

Morning all, feeling a bit happier in myself today - so onwards and upwards. A 50p has been potted this morning, so that's a start in the right direction. Am getting a stiff neck with looking at pavements all the time for roadkill but no luck so far- will keep at it.I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!0

Potted 40c yesterday, pretty happy with that as I had quite a LSD.
Hoping to pot some more change tonight after I come back from dinner, having a nice girlie night out and I am going to treat myself to a glass of wine I think!
