Nearly newbie I can send hubby to buy you some if you wish and post them out to you? They are £3 each for the silicon moulds (2lb loaf tins, 10 inch round cake tins and 10 inch square sandwich cake tins) and £2 (I think) for the 2x reusable cake liners.. square and round!

pigpen that's really sweet of you - thank you!!but I know I don't REALLY need them! I'm looking fw. to having my own Aldi on the doorstep . i love browsing though the German food at Xmas and its great value for continental stuff which my 4 kids love.
Kid have eaten meat anad potato pie- will work out how to post pictures eventually (any tips gratefully received!). I have made Mary Berry's "pork mimosa" for tomorrow's tea. I'll put it in the simmering oven tomorrow morning adn DH can feed hungry monsters when he's ready
I'm off to write up my spending and confess on grocery challenge how badly I'm doing. I think I may have been over-optimistic about how much I could get away with spending on food. all my family LIVES for food!!

Cake didn't rise as much as I think it should have


if I fill it with lots of cream & cover it with sufficient icing though he'll never know

Right then, back to my Avon sorting...... (it's about 100 times better than 1 hr ago!) I'll catch up with all the flying over the weekend I think!


The Avon party offer is a serious one by the way if you live near Huntingdon!!

MushyPeas

Just got back home, eating some home-made casserole, WM is on. I now fancy some choccie cake after the piccies!

I wonder how solway is getting on?

torianut

Oh no - just caught up with the posts and checked tomorrows list
when you say toybox - which one!!!! - dd's have 4 boxes under the bed and 6 boxes in their fitted wardrobes - all filled with toys, crafts, dolls etc and a bookcase and a games cupboard and LO has a big toybox in front room - HELP!!

On the plus side I did their beds last week and they have been at their dads for 2 nights so going to leave them another week!!
and changed LO's cot today as previously he just had a purflo (like a hammock mattress with holes in) and no sheets and a sleeping bag but now has got his 'big boys' bedding of proper mattress, sheet and fleece blanket - think we will still use sleeping bag as well as his room is FFFFRRREEZING!!

Have a nice evening all - I am on my 2nd glass of wine already xx

Ps Solway?? we are in suspense here??

LJD1_2

Hiya
Well the house is tidy but not the cleanest ever as i've been sanding the woodwork so there seems little point! Lol! I'm not around over the weekend as I have a weekend away with a friend. That's right, no children and no hubby! Can't quite believe it. So, i'll be back on Monday relaxed and raring to go. Have a good weekend everyone xx
