Hi all hope you are all a bit better today.

Welcome Amanda and good luck
Pigpen hope you daughter has a day to remember
Rach fingers crossed you get the job
SM hope you feel better soon, treat yourself to a little something from you wages

Have been to town to take the clothes I brought yesterday back and replaced with 2 lovely girly skirts and a pretty jumper - much more me.

Picked up a pressie for one of the boys.
Got advent calendars from Lidl 59p and the chocolate is good
Emailed father-in-law with requests for kids pressies.
Stared a christmas list

Booked a week in cornwall for the summer. Really expensive but we have not been to cornwall for years and the kids love it there and at least I don't have to worry about finding a holiday in March like I usually do.

Another cuppa and a trip to the loft and then it is time to everybody to help move logs.

Afternoon peeps!!

Not much flying done today, washing done, shopping done and I'm doing some baking at the mo. Already done some mince pies, jam tarts (thanks to DD&D recipie) and some museli bars for work next week, however with my next recipie I've hit a stumbling block and I'm sure one of you must know the answer!!;)

So please could one of you guys help me I would be ever so grateful, I've already done a quick search and can't find anything and I'm too embarrassed to start a thread to ask .
I need to "grease & baseline a tin with greaseproof paper", What do I need to do??.

LMS grease & baseline a tin with greaseproof paper

Grease the tin with butter (rub it all over) then cut out some grease proof paper to fit the base of the tin and lay it over the base of the tin. (the butter helps it to stick so should be easy enough)

If you draw round the bottom of the tin and cut it out it should be almost perfect.

Good luck!!!!

I'm on a mission toady! LOL! FO complaint about PPI (the bank has not even replyed and have no record of any letter even though it was sent RD) filled out and in envelope, receipts for parking and fuel in envelope to be sent as expenses, and letter asking for safeguard cover to be refunded also in envelope. All I have to do is be sure to post them all recorded delivery on Monday and finish the DLA form and I'm laughing!

Now, I can take my go get em attitude to the kitchen and clean like I have not cleaned in weeks! LOL!!!!

Thanks Tia!! :T

I knew it had to be something as simple as that, but just wanted to double check. I'm so embarrassed tho .

Best go back I'm at the crucial stage, got to mix soured milk, dry stuff & butter, sugar & egg mixture together, in stages :rolleyes: . What's that all about? I'm tempted just to bung it all together and see what happens :rotfl:

See you later peeps, I'll let you know how I get on.
