I did have a recipe for a mincemeat Christmas cake that my mother gave me years ago. It didn't have all those ingredients that Delia uses but I did add extra to mine. Makes a lovely moist cake, very tasty and cheap to make.

I did put out a shout a while back as I've mislaid my recipe. It was featured in a woman's magazine called 'Woman's Weekly' years ago. I hope I find it. :cool:

Been looking through some job ads and saw this which made me smile

* You must feel comfortable telling everybody in the same room as you, that you are going to the toilet!
* The ability to sing in tune is not necessary, however the ability to sing out of tune in front of a crowd is essential.

* Possessing the skills required to rapidly count the heads of numerous moving small people is of the utmost importance.

I have been back and forwards all week to doctors 3 times and drop in centre once .

I have been on steroids and anti biotics ...then more anti biotics

As the tablets I take for rheumatoid arthritis lowers your immunity

So I couldn't take the R Arthritis drugs whilst on steroids ..so hence an episode of RA is in full swing

I am not complaining I just wonder if anyone else on here who maybe

has had the RA diagnose a long time ....has any helpful tips that they

have found to bring relief or ease the intensitivity of an attack ....Or

anything that they find helpful to minimise pain,episodes etc etc

My friend has suffered since a teenager. She reckons on taking pain killers as soon as you need, rather than waiting. Sorry I can't be of more help. She does have physio from time to time.
