    I can't join in a poo conversation (thank god!), since I don't have kids, but chocolate cake, ah, you've got an expert here. Can't make them to save my life, but I love them. Thanks for the virtual slice, Toto!

    what are you lot like...

    I made one today and I've got to say, for me it's pretty good. Not even the slightest taste of washing powder or diesel :)

    Why did you put washing powder and diesel in your chocolate cake - strange recipe you have there Toto :confused: :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    ahhh is that where I go wrong? :rotfl:

    I don't know, I just seem to produce some strange tasting stuff, my last cake did taste of persil and I don't even keep the stuff in the kitchen (I have a laundry room) so I'm pretty sure there were no accidents. I made a chilli once and my guests all stared at it for a few minutes before one bravely asked what it was, they didn't know if they needed to eat it with a fork or cover it with custard and reach for the spoon (It looked like a syrup pudding so they said).

    Cheffing aint my thing :rotfl:

    At last, I've found someone else as bad as me :beer:

    Part of my job is to cook with children, I've so far avoided it because I would hate to inflict my lack of talent on the poor little blighters :rotfl:

  • Morning all. Well done IA - excellent news. Hope you don't mind me hijacking but i need some advice and think i'll get more response on your diary than a new thread :)

    i got my gas bill on sat and they have done an interim payment plan review. I've got an overpayment of £144 on my account so they want to drop my DD from £48 to £20 pm but if there is >£150 bill then they will take it ALL by DD.
    now being on a DMP I cannot afford a huge bill - should I
    1. take back the overpayment and leave the DD at £48
    2. leave the overpayment and do a DD of £20
    3. take back the overpayment and leave the DD at £20
    in case 1,3 hold the £144 in a high interest savings (and not get tempted to spend like i would have done pre DFW) ?
