    Just cut into our cheesecake. No bake. Digestives and melted butter for base. Philly, double cream and icing sugar for filling and a can of this fruit filling on top.

    Received a 50p money off voucher from Princes which made it a nice cheap topping. A bit tart but a lovely match for the cream filling

    Right hubby is awake so off to do some dinner.
    I've just been looking at photos of grandson Molly has uploaded.
    Can you believe this little boy is just 12months and 2 weeks old?
    He's 33" tall already and wears size 7 shoes. His daddy is a giant, OK he thinks he's 6ft 8in & mum is 5ft 11". I feel like a midget next to them & I'm a respectable 5'6".

    i think I can beat the inlaw stories my oh run the family farm, and as only lad was supposed to inherit it, as he was the one that worked it. but was kicked out and disinherited for marrying me,:o:o:o:o he even had his horses taken from him that he used to show jump, his sister was given the chance to ride them but she could not so they just were left, he got the option to keep them or me ,:(
    next week is our 25 wedding anniversary :D he still says he is not sure he made the right choice :rotfl:

    When me and hubby met i got on really well with his parents...
    Then I invited them to my parents home to meet them
    Thats when his parent disliked me and did everything possible to try and persuade hubby not to go through with our wedding

    I was adopted by my grandparents my grandad was black his parents were from guyana ..my grandmother was white from south wales where my grandad was born...my real parents were both white as am I.
    I grew up calling my grandparents mum and dad didnt get told i was adopted till i was 21 but by then it made no difference to me they were my mum n dad nothing would change that...
    met my birth parents a cpl of times both were idiots tbh
    but this was the outlaws biggest fear if their son married me..the fact one of our kids could be black
    as it happens all 10 of our kids are white ..but outlaws looked at me and our kids and saw my dads colour
    sad pathetic hypocritical people they were
