    **** PLEASE NOTE! ****
    I didn't begin this thread to make anyone feel guilty, inadequate, gobsmacked or to begin a competition!! LOL Do please bear in mind, I do NOT do this EVERY day - otherwise, what would be the point of baking ahead :confused:;):D

    Pooky! :T Sounds like a productive day to me, WTG! :D

    Murtle - I only sleep so I can dream of you ;)

    bethscott1970 - owie! Hope your ds' fracture heals fast and well!

    omega - nope, there's just me LOL - but, I do delegate *some* regular tasks to dh and the boys ;) :think: elona's idea of skates is appealing though .... nah, I'l stick with me pogo stick for exercise :D

    Lillibet - you're pregnant - rest!!

    elona - it was your other post about your ice cream maker that gave me the :idea: on how best to use up that cheap cream - I thank you :D

    CQ - you're exhausted, not because of reading about my day ... too many late nights down the pub, perhaps?? :D;) Or just too little coffee. :whistle:

    carly - hope your parcel arrives safely - tip: stick a casserole in next time, you'll still be able to hear the door knock/ring :D:D:D Oooh, hope you got your parcel, sounds very exciting!

    Squeaky - as much as we wuv you - there *is* life away from the computer ;) Go clarify some dripping :rotfl:

    TM - I think you've also had a productive day, Matey! :T

    Penny-Wise - thank you for your kind words :o

    Galtizz - don't hang your head, Hun ... we know you have new responsibilities and that's going to keep you away from your chores - but we *do* appreciate your efforts for us :D

    :think: Don't know - I would possibly try adding orange essense to the Choccy one - but not OJ because then you are changing the fluid content. As for the Orange one .... maybe sub 1oz of OJ for a chocolate liquer? But, I'm just guessing ... those are the ideas I would try if I wanted to adapt them to be a combo LOL
