    With all the talk of Christmas cakes, I decided to make an old family recipe...before you all ask for the recipe I thought I would share.......my Vodka Christmas Cake recipe so here goes.

    1 cup sugar, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup water, 1 tsp. salt , 1 cup brown sugar, Lemon juice, 4 large eggs, Nuts, 1...bottle Vodka,2 cups dried fruit.
    Sample a cup of Vodka to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Vodka again to be sure it is of the highest quality then Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the Vodka is still OK. Try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor, wash it and put it in the bowl a piece at a time trying to count it. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver Sample the Vodka to test for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something. Check the Vodka. Now !!!! shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the Vodka and wipe the counter with the cat.


    The tears are running down my legs and DH is complaining I am making rude noises in bed ! Fartarse was mentioned.

    Well made it to S again....not my local store though. Doubled up the wine and got 5 bottles of Prosecco and doubled up Tu to buy 2 £20 jumpers to use my spend £30 and get 8ppl off which I promptly forgot to hand over:o

    I was going to Nectar chat Kamal again but just couldn't waste 30 minutes of my life for coppers. When I read the back of the voucher, they have to be handed over with your purchase anyway.

    It was a right faff changing the vouchers. The call to Nectar was straightforward, I passed security and then the SA cut me off as she was moving the phone. The second time she had to be talked through the process but the vouchers did not appear although the points had been redeemed. So the points had to be put back on. This happened twice:o

    It was worth going to the larger store to get a wider selection of clothes but be prepared for a long wait if there are queues:o

    I'll see if I can find a pic of the jumpers.

    I tried them on at a long mirror. Good job the store was quiet. As I pulled each one over my head, my dress rode up in a most indecent way:o

    This is one of the jumpers. I can't seem to find the other.
    I can't bear tight jumpers and this one is nice and baggy. I've tried it on with dark jeans and it looks good:)
