    Good morning.
    My boots have just arrived and I am quite impressed. They cost me £16.93 and I got 93p TCB so works out at about £2.30 a pair. I will definitely get that much wear out of them. My godmother sent me some money for Christmas and I'm tempted to line all seven pairs up and whattsap her a picture and tell her I've still got change to spend haha.
    I also collected the Tresor perfume yesterday from boots and its gorgeous. I was going to give them as birthday presents in January but now I'm keeping one and DD can have the other one.
    Just waiting from the chimnea to arrive and then I'm done:j:j:j


    I've just taken delivery of 5 of my 7 pairs of boots that ended up costing me a total of £18.95 and I am very impressed with them! (I fully expected them to only be good enough for wearing indoors) Thank you so much to whoever originally posted about them :T

    Morning,
    I was just clearing my emails and came across this. Not for me but some others might like to try it.




    Do you love Activia? Would you like to be part of something super exciting we have planned for the New Year?

    We’ve got a great new campaign for 2016 – and we’d love you to be part of it!

    The campaign is all about celebrating how great you feel, and how much more you get out of life, when you look after yourself – inside and out.

    We’re looking for real life experiences from women who understand the benefits you feel when you take care of yourself from the inside out – the ways life is better on the outside when you look after yourself inside.

    If this is something you’d like to share, just complete the following sentence:

    “When I take care of myself from the inside out, …”

    Here are a few examples from the themes we’re exploring (to inspire you)!

    Digestive Health
    When I take care of myself from the inside out, I can focus on what’s really important

    Wellbeing
    When I take care of myself from the inside out, it’s sunny whatever the forecast

    Body
    When I take care of myself from the inside out, every hour is for the taking

    We want to hear the ways you’ve found life to be better when you take care of yourself from the inside out – in your own words!

    All you need to do is send your story and a picture of yourself to ActiviaSocial@nakedcomms.com by 30/12/2015 and you could be part of the campaign!

    As a thank you, we will send a load of yummy Activia to everyone whose stories we use*.

    Really hope to hear from you very soon!

    no, 25 hrs when the clocks go back
    23 hrs when they go forward, + there a times in the year when seconds or parts of are taken or added to the day.

    june had an extra second added to it, hmmm i wonder if fc told her son

    I disagree ...

    All days are 24 hours +/- fractions of milliseconds regardless. That is the amount of time it takes for the earth to rotate once based on observing any given point on the earth.

    It is humans and their need to order things that create the concept of a clock and counting those hours.

    We then adjust our clocks to count 24 hours, sometimes adding or subtracting an hour of that count in that count, as part of the concept of Daylight Saving Time (eg BST).

    The odd second (a 'leap second') is a correction to our clocks to take into account the slightly uneven rotation of the earth, and the fact that one rotation is not exactly 24 hours.

    The length of a day (ie one rotation of the earth) never changes (bar those odd milliseconds).

    Well have marzipan'd the cake and made 4 dozen mince pies and a dozen jam tarts. Another 2 jobs off the list so now making a well deserved coffee.

    Shared my shortbread recipe yesterday so here is my sweet-paste / biscuit pasty recipe. It maxes lovely mince pies or in general sweet pastry. I use it for biscuits that eed ices, rolled out quite thin works well for those ith jam & cream in the centre.

    1lb plain flour
    pinch salt
    6 oz block marg or butter

    rub these in.

    In a jug add 6 oz white sugar and add in 2 medium eggs.

    Add to flour mix and mix until combines. Add a little flour if wet/slicky.

    Make into mince pies, maids of honour, jam tarts, coconut tarts. I got 60 out of 1.5 mixes.
    bake at approx 160°C until lightly golden.
