    Morning everyone. Had a busy morning as usual but stopped for a coffee. Just prepped my Xmas cake fruit - it's that time again. I soak it in alcohol for a couple of weeks to plump it up which adds moisture and flavour to the cake.

    QOC - how do you make blackberry wine. I am thinking of giving this a go.

    Happy birthday Dipdab

    Thank you :)
    Love the way you've both posted the same pic TM and FC :D
    Just opened my cards and pressies :)
    I got an ipad for my birthday :eek: :j :D
    Also got loads of choccies (which look similar to the boxes of choccies that went missing out of my pressie cupboard a few days ago :rotfl: )
    Now for my sins I get to spend the day in town shopping :D

    :rotfl: Ditto!

    Morning!

    I think that level is the work of the devil!
    If I do manage to get through all my moves without a bomb blowing up, I end up with it telling me 'you only need one more jelly' :mad:
    I may have to resort to using my boosters at this rate just to finish it :mad:

    Good thanks. He doesn't like a fuss, just a a nice cake so he got that. He also got his own coke fridge for his bedroom which he is delighted with.
    He woke me up at 6am this morning to tell me he thought he was old enough to be sorting his own breakfast at weekends now...........and showed me the Kellogg's nutrigrain bar that he'd sorted out for himself :rotfl::rotfl:

    Glad to hear your your getting your college stuff sorted :)

    Did you get a coke branded fridge in the end or did you buy a plain one?
    I think I remember you asking for elite help a while ago :)

    Kids are making me a cake later, the results could be interesting :rotfl:

    Yes, couldn't find any great bargains so I ended up with one from Sainsburgs which someone kindly posted a link to. Not very MSE but I did have a £50 GC from a complaint ages ago which cushioned the blow.
