Lava cake was yummy and easy. Greased the slow cooker, made Angel delight and chilled till a little firm, put cake mix in slow cooker added Angel delight on top then sprinkled choc chips and marsh mellows on top. Cake rises round top so it's firm on top on gooey in bottom...I've had 2 portions lol

Mrs Wolf.. chill your beans petal... the forms have pictures.. so you know what a bath or a tshirt looks like... Mr Wolf is wonderful and Marvellous and will be right there laughing at them with you! xxxx

No pictures - just a ruddy great 40-page questionnaire to fill out, which Mr LW has done for me (ie I dictated, he wrote as I can't hold a pen for that long). They also want "evidence" - so they've got 15 documents, ranging from mid-2000 to last August.
We shall give it a final read-through tomorrow (I kept thinking of more stuff I needed to tell them, so we had to keep adding bits in) then it's going in the post. It has to be back to them by 18th December or they'll automatically dismiss my claim.

The bit I am totally dreading .:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: is the face-to-face interview, as my people-phobia will kick in (well, already has if I'm honest). I've requested that if I must have an interview, it's a home visit from a female interviewer, and Mr LW will be taking time off work to be here. I feel sick to my stomach at the thought of having to discuss a ton of personal stuff with a total stranger.

Evening all.

I've been running errands all day when I finally shifted my backside out the door Items exchanged at the pet shop as our dog is a medium not a large as the packaging says on the reflective coat! Came home and dived out to another shop, lots of cleaning supplies purchased, packed lunch stuff, quick tea supplies, and topped up dog biscuits! Came home, ate pizza for tea and went out to do the weekly shop at Mr A! We can now stay home all day tomorrow, or I can pop down and pick up the couple of things I forgot to write on my list I did remember to buy a shredder though so I'm going to nibble away at the shredding pile slowly.

While I was out DD did some flying while having "brain breaks" from writing an essay on "the morals in An Inspector Calls" and still has another with a minimum of 800 words to do tomorrow! So some of the list got crossed off, but there's still loads to do. I'll get stuck in tomorrow since I've got to stay home anyway.

Me too mmm we are still in pjs here and not rushing to get out of them! It's windy and rainy, and we have no plans to go anywhere. Not sure if the outdoor lights will get put up unless there is a small let-up in the weather!

My bedding is in the wash and I've remade the spare bed and put away the few bits of gibble that were littering the room.

I've collected all the dry laundry, just going to do a bit more brekki / snack for small people and I'll make a start in the garage.

And we need a HH homework slot too.

Might go back to my crochet this afternoon as I've not managed to do any all week...
