It's very difficult for people to disguise their "voice" It doesn't take long to spot themIt doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!17

Yes and I must have covered most of the food groups - protein in the cheese, the cake is rammed full of fruit so that's got to be part of the 5 a day, a few carbs from the flour, it doesn't have a lot of flour, this recipe, lots of nuts for something I can't remember and wine is made from fruit so more 5 a day. And marzipan for the health of my soul. No icing, we just pick it off and leave it so not much point.
Need to feed the cake today, here cakey cakey, nice brandy for you.

Ok am I being thick? Can someone give me a hint of who has disappeared?? I really don't want to upset anyone if they are lurking for a bit and I think they have been put on the naughty step! :-)

I believe it was the seeker of money user.
DD brought home another cold. This time she has shared it with us. Full of snot and sore throat, but otherwise OK. The zoe app wanted me tested regardless, so did that this morning. Was a lot busier there than it was in August! Expecting a negative result, but just gotta wait now. And add more paracetamol to the stocks as been getting through itFebruary wins: Theatre tickets16 -

Well, Covid has become very real my borther inlaws family now all have it, despite being a healthy fit mid 30s man it hit him hard with various things which haven't been mentioned to much, he couldn't walk at one point and thought he may end up in hospital, it has really spooked DH as he is slightly older and heavier than his brother, I tried to rationalise it to him (and myself secretly) by saying that everyone reacts differently. DH is also getting more infuriated with customers he is having to serve hes had 3 this week want to shake his hand, yes polite but not the time, they have got very anti when DH politely refused, they don't understand why.
Prepping non existant this week, my brain is to frazzled.
Thanks for everyone's help with gift ideas for my children a few pages back and royal icing. I forget to click the like button most of the time, sorry.19 -
