    Busy morning already - was at Morrisons at 8.30 then put that away and then off to osteopath. Just finished cleaning the bathrooms and am seriously unimpressed with the Flash Magic Eraser for Bathrooms - it fell apart after just doing the sinks and shower tray!! It was on offer; wouldn't have paid full price for it. Got a load of washing in the machine and just about to have lunch. This afternoon going to walk Whiz land maybe put another load of washing on as need to do some towels.

    Wendy I knew someone like that but I think she's got the message now that she can't just turn up on my doorstop and ask me to lend her money. It's hard but you need to say no.

    Has anyone got any good recipes for gone over bananas? Got 5 big 'uns that need using up .....

    Ds dropped at school by train, getting old nursery to collect and have him for two hours after school. .....I will jiggle money later....I need my rest and meds as it takes best part of 90 mins to do school run by train so by time I got home would be time to go out again.

    The entire contents of airing cupboard fell on my head earlier.....ex Mil obviously decided it was too much for DD3 to fold the towels so they fitted neatly into the baskets....DD3 had her shower yanked the first towel she could lay her hands on then shut the door quick before they fell out. No more flying for me today.......roll on DD1 homecoming on Wednesday
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Tummy's rumbling, lunchtime methinks x

    Banana Cake

    125g butter/marg
    150g sugar
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 egg, beaten
    2 very ripe bananas, mashed
    190g SR flour
    60ml milk

    Grease & line a 2lb loaf tin.
    Melt butter, sugar & vanilla over a medium heat.
    Remove from heat & add bananas.
    Add the egg.
    Stir in the flour & the milk.
    Pour into tin, sprinkle with brown sugar.
    Bake at 150 (fan oven) for 45 mins until a skewer comes out clean.

    This freezes really well in slices wrapped in cling film and defrosts quickly.

    Grass cut, just having omelette for lunch with salad from the garden.
    Spend less now, work less later.
