I bake her carrot cake too and it is very popular here it's the american spiced carrot cake traybake recipe (well I think that's what it's called anyway) - very yummy

Christmas cake looks good though Pigpen and I don't even like Christmas cake

Hiya
Your cake looks fab pigpen. I'm in the process of deciding on a recipe as i've lost the one I've done for the last few years. Then i'm going to get the stuff and make it on Monday. It'll be brandy for me as that's what we've got in the cupboard.
Night all xx

oooh I've just had £48 sent through from quidco.. and £26 from greasypalm.. and £32.64 from topcashback... been a good month this month!!!

Doesn't bode well for the next one though! lol..

I've got 58 ebay listings to go on ebay tomorrow (damn it is BORING!!!!!!!.. think of the beer tokens..:D).. and I am aiming for 100 items of mine and my sis wants me to relist her stuff.. I have another binbag of her stuff but think it is more important for me to list my stuff rather than hers.. she gets a wage and only has herself and 2 cats to sort.. I have christmas to organise for us all, hence mine take priority!!!

I found a stacking box of stuff which I've not listed for a while and still have the pics for, even if I've lost all the listings!!
