    Stocked on branston beans at l!dl today, we now have 24 cans and about another 8 in the stock pile from the last offer - so that should keep is going for a bit. They're the only beans I really like so stock up when they are on offer. Also meant I spent another £24 while shopping, making a cake for a friend tomorrow so had to get some bits for that and then picked up a few bits for the week. However, that's house budget so declaring NSD 13

    I also learned today, when Mary Berry says cook in two cake pans ,there's a good reason for it :eek: still a bit of trimming and some frosting works wonders....right?:eek:

  • Hello all *waves sheepishly*

    This has been the month from hell. If it could go wrong it has...all in one month :(

    Sadly NSDs were the last thing on my mind and all organisation has gone out the window. My target has floated off into the ether.

    However, I have NOT failed. I have achieved 13 NSDs so far. I may add a few more to the pot before March is done.

    I hope you've all had a good month, onwards and upwards!
