    Oh Nell i am so so so happy for you!! You are such an amazing and positive person!

    Jakes-Mum i am so jealous of your kitchen-aid! Once i have my own house i am going to treat myself! I love baking but hate the arm-ache that comes with it lol.

    Since i have been away i have potted around £32. I have decided to put the £60-70 (i don't remember how much there is) from my holding pot into my actual pot (not on my signature yet). I found my scottish £50 note in my knicker draw of all places so next time i'm away to the bank i'll be taking that with me then potting it!

    I am trying my hardest to get back on track! A nice big win on the lottery (that i don't play) would be wonderful right now!!

    Christened my kitchen aid today making DH a coffee cake for his birthday today . . . greedy pig has already eaten a quarter of it! Was sooooo nice to just chuck the ingredients in and watch it doing all the hard work :D Need to buy some more butter and then I think ill make some G/F muffins tomorrow as haven't done any baking for DS in a while ;)

    What colour did you go for Jakes-Mum? have serious kitchen aid envy, though have a kenwood so can't justify the outlay (but oh so pretty......).
    85p for the pot today, just want it full - getting there, very slowly....
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
