  • Good morning and happy Thursday. This week is going far too fast 🎅🏻🎄
    I won the lottery last night, woohoo, but sadly it was just £3. I bought new tickets with it. 
    I tried a new Yorkshire pudding recipe yesterday, as sadly the one I normally use has started to fail me. I don’t know why, but my last lot were like frisbees. I’m wondering now if it’s because I changed egg sizes, as I tried a different recipe, with a different method and different quantities which turned out much wetter and the puddings were glorious. So I’ll use the new recipe in future. I froze 5 leftovers, which I’ve never done before, but it it said you could and I guess they’ll warm up like Aunt B’s. 
    I’ve no idea what I’ll waste today doing 🤔
    I hope you all have a lovely day 🎄🎅🏻☕️

    The annoying thing is it keeps happening, just not with the whisky.  My kitchen carpet still has a mac&cheese stain from when my hands decided not to co-operate getting it out of the oven a couple of months ago.  It's a good job I'm not houseproud & my son doesn't seem to notice.

    On no, what a waste of Mac n cheese 😮 No carpet was safe from me when I was little, I had absolutely no coordination and got told off a lot! Because of this I absolutely never blame or moan about any spill or breakage as I know how awful it is to be the unwitting perpetrator 😅 it’s so frustrating isn’t it, but you must be kind to yourself. No one does it on purpose.

    I know 🤣 imagine how much lighter MSE land will be at this time next year! 
    I had a piece of stollen for lunch …. I weighed a mouses portion and it was still over 300 calories 😮
    Now I know you all know me well, so you won’t be shocked to know I succumbed to a beautiful clever fox eating/food tracker book in a box with stickers 😁 I really wanted green or blue, but they had longer delivery times, so I’ve plumped for a bright yellow. It came out of my Christmas Amzn vouchers. Have a look…you won’t be disappointed 😁😁😁

    Well I’m really shocked at you buying a new notebook, that’s so out of character 🤣🤣

    The big whiskey bottle spillage sounds like the giant Comfort 166 washes I bought last week (maybe not as tasty). It’s so heavy I keep missing the washing machine drawer and spilling it everywhere. On the plus side the kitchen smells lovely 😆

    I know, right? 🤣🤣🤣
    it’s the balance on big bottles that’s all messed up. You start tipping it so well and then all of a sudden the weight passes the tipping point and wham!

    @Sun_Addict I buy the big one too and then re-fill the old smaller bottle (in the sink!) 

    off to look at clever fox...
