    !!!!!! I now know why those bottles of XXL live were in the 99p shop. Instead of the vibrant red on the box I am a nice shade of ginger. :rotfl:
    Oh well it's different :rotfl:

    Oh what a shame. Mine was fine. If you want it to fade quickly, go swimming. Dyed mine about 5-6 weeks ago & most of the colour has stripped out now. Got another 4 boxes of red left, though, so I'll do it again when I get chance.

    Evening everyone,

    free spirit.. use the cake in a trifle or warm it up and add custard.. you won't even see it.. esp. if you use chocolate custard. You need the gel food colours, they are best rather than the liquid which just goes a murky brown.. even I can't go wrong with those and I'm useless.

    Yes i am going to have to stock up on gel colours i think, DS bought the colours as it was a challenge and they are a waste of money as you say they come out a murky brown, or grey :) PIGPEN i couldnt even eat it with custard, honestly it was that heavy never in 40 years of baking have i had to throw something straight into the bin total waste of money and time
    I'm very intrigued by the insect hotel!
    Such a cute photo! My caption is - Fingers Malone should have probably checked he could reach the breaks before setting off.

    Its quite cute it is for green lacewings, bees and ladybirds to encourage them for your plants and veg, i love your quote that is funny
    out tonight got free tics to see the book thief - that is one of my absolute fave books so i hope im not too disappointed by the film

    Hope the film lived up to the book and you had a great time

    OMO omg 86000.00 :eek: for one phone, they must be mad, love the quote, love the colour of your hair i know its not what you wanted but i like it, oh flipping eck you said she would let you down, go and have a lovely time shopping anyway, her loss!
    SEQUEENA oh well done Thomas :T that is fab news

    TODAYS CHALLENGES
    Low self esteem can be a result of negative life experiences, particularly when we are young and most vulnerable. These experiences may include being criticised or judged negatively, as from a parent or school bullies. As adults, abusive relationships and very stressful life events can also cause low self esteem. Low self esteem can stay low because of our own self-critical thoughts, which can be triggered by criticism or perceived criticism

    1. Complete the daily sudoku challenge
    2. Walk route 1 (400m)
    3. Plant the carpet of flowers seeds
    4. Read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
