    What a mix of a day.

    Started off well with a successful shop at T's and managed to get 9 packs of the kindor cereal bars, with long sell by dates on them:)

    Then a very sad afternoon. Our dog (a gorgeous staffie cross)has not eaten or drunk since Monday so DH took him to the vet this afternoon. He returned without him as they were running blood tests and trying to get fluids into him.

    Just had a phone call to say it's not good news. He has suffered a huge internal bleed from a growth and we have had to make the awful decision of having him put to sleep. The odds of having a big operation at his age were against him and it wouldn't be fair to put him through it.

    DH has just gone back to the vets to be with him and say goodbye whilst he is put to sleep. He is then going to bring him home so we can bury him in the garden. Not sure how I'm going to tell our little girls they won't see him again.:(

    Afternoon everyone, popped on yesterday morning, then got waylaid with other stuff.

    We have loads of thorntons easter eggs left, and nobody likes to eat them, are they too rich to make any cakes with, does anyone know, and has anyone got any receipes, that I could use.

    Melt some chocolate into a tin of custard and fold in 3 eggs whites which have been whisked until stiff. Put in pretty glasses and stick in the fridge for an hour.

    Decorate with rasps:)

    Chocolate mousse:)

    Hello everyone
