    Thanks greent and misscousinitt certainly something I think I need to do myself :D

    Not much a doing today................I did get up early and make banana ice cream, a summer fruit one and a chocolate one, think the choccy one a tad strong, oops :D:D:D

    I was reading an interest article on faceache yesterday about things that will change your life, it was that good I can't find it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Great stuff Sue, all that hard work, well done. I do remember you having your curtains ready for your L/R, I'm sure it was you, (I hope) checked/tartan ones, I remember (cause that's what I wanted) :o any plans to do that before xmas?


    Oh an early pressie from DD, how nice :D remember to list your other one, things just take time to sell on the b@y, but they do eventually :j


    You made WHAT :eek: this morning, my favourite Banana Ice Cream, although not much call for it tonight . . . .
    its SNOWING here . . . . brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    :rotfl::rotfl: no snow here.

    I do have nice n£xt curtains and antler light fitments, not got round to putting them up yet :D:D Soooooo much to KM before that point.

    On a nice point I recieved from my parents a set of Er@l furniture, gosh about 2 years ago now and had decided to sell BUT it's dark wood and not fetching a lot. I tried with all my might to get the thing to "fit" into my house but it just wouldn't, I also had my heart set on the more popular lighter wood................every time I thought about selling it I backed off.

    Last week I have finally got to the bottom of why I was reluctant, it's very sentimental to me and I realised I just couldn't bare the thought of someone painting it :eek::eek: So I joined a faceache group and the more I viewed their posts the more I realised I would be a fool to part with it, a new table and chairs are about £3,000 and I have a dresser and sideboard too. So yesterday I set about scale planning it to see if I could get it in, I could but it would be cramped.

    This morning I stood there pondering the problem............EUREKA put the other lounge chair (in middle of room) to form an L shaped (by the window with other chair) arrangement rather than the current U shape (which looks carp anyway because it's a through dining room) and move the tv..............just not sure what laminate flooring to put with it now, as it's dark wood :D:D

    I mainly use Ziffit for selling books. There is also webuybooks, but I've never used it. Cashback is available for Ziffit (and MM, I think) through Quidco - and there's often a 10-15% extra code to be found on t'web too :)

    Am intrigued by lemonade scones.....

    Will do on the scones, apparently you just mix all together lolol

    If you want to try tbem it's 750g sr flour 375ml lemonade and 300ml single cream. Mix with a knife slowly until a smooth dough, roll and cut 2cm thickness bake for 10 to 15 mins at 200.

    Am not responsible if they are carp ok lololol xx
