Just had my confirmation for this weeks JL event on Thursday. :beer:

I'm going with my SIL, she has just split up with her partner, so free glass of fizz will be a nice treat.

Neither of us will be driving I wonder whether they will notice if we have another. :rotfl:

If not we will have to make sure we try all the other offerings. :rotfl:

Ah thanks TM, were they the same denomination? Big word for me I know. :eek:

Just realised I have a big freezer to fill and there is no pizza glitch.

I received a £8 wys £40 on my first shop. I gave her that and my £6 wys £30 and the till would only accept one.

My £30 T shop isn't very exciting....basically my Orchard cake and vouchers. Just remembered I've got a £1.50 Freixinet one today....off t check how much it is in A.....saw curly warning about alcohol:o

Your shop was fab Fernie....did you get yours delivered Di?

I was chewed to bits yesterday sal.....such a waste of good ingredients. Those glitchy Whitworth raisins were as big as grapes:)

My £6 Orchard vouchers came today. I can spend it on cakes:) Mr TM suggested I just buy one. But no....I won't be defeated. Next weekend it is......round three:)

Oh yes got a £4 off wys £30 T T today:)

Can anyone see a plan unfolding?:D

Do you tie newspaper round your tin while the cake is cooking? I tie some round mine, higher than the top of the tin, I don't know if it is a valid practice but I do it because mum always did, it is meant to stop it burning and I have never burned one yet

This is the first year they've "caught" E:o


I double line them and put a double layer of greaseproof on top with a little hole. I then wrap a couple of sheets of newspaper around the outside about 2inches higher than the cake tin.

The trouble is that there's no temperature dial on my oven, it's not usually a problem as I know the timings for stuff I do regularly but a big cake is an unknown. I had a feeling that the oven was a bit hot when I put it in and should have followed my instincts:o

One of my bottles was Haig Club Clubman £15. Not the expensive £35 version, I haven't seen the Clubman before but I thought was a nice gift for a change. Plus with my negotiated coupon. .........
