Thanks both...home after a nice meal...my secret santa was very knowledgable and got me a lovely bake book from m&s with yummy recipes in, plus a candle and holder that will look yummy in the new bathroom and a lovely heart tree decoration that was made by people locally with learning difficulties so extra special and enabled us to guess who the santa was! All very dfw bargainous with a budget of £5 so she done good!
No yuccy pressies for anyone and great to see someone on maternity leave who came for the meal plus the girl I made the bracelet for loved it which was good and a confidence boost for me as a novice - shes not one who can fake it so knew that she genuinely did like it! Shame cos I'd happily have it back!
Tomorrow will be a quiet day me thinks as still feeling a bit cack so need to recoup and chill a bit. Plus this week been very sociable and I do need time to recoup on my own!
So lovelyto be home with pusscats and cant wait to slip into my own bed!! Blankie is warming as I type!!

Hi

The secret santa pressies sound great. Not many people are so thoughtful and willing to give up time to look and/or make.

Hope you have a good rest tonight and tomorrow. Its no fun feeling tired all the time. Far too many bugs about at the moment.

Did I miss out on a new family member ISOM. Something about another bob?

I have a bob hamster kp but thats t? He may haveto relocate though but I have moved my piggy to block Alfie and that seems to work for now!! In therms of the family/zoo it currently stands at 4 cats, 1 turtle (yellow belly slider for those who may be interested) and a hamster who does a very good impression of hannibal lecter - without the mask!

Christmas Cake

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 stick butter
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the tequila to check quality. Take a large bowl, check
the tequila again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one
level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one
cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat
again.
At this point it's best to make sure the tequila is still OK. Try
another cup... Just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eggs and
add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of died fruits.
Pick the pigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriverer. Sample the tequila to check for tonsisticicitystuency.
Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the tequila. Now
shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a shoon of
spugar, or some fink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn
the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat
off the turner. Finally, finish the tequila and wipe counter with the
cat.
Bingle Jells!

bob has had a haircut and didnt like it - almost got me but I was a tad quicker! Spent most of the day/eve asleep and will be in bed soon when nghtnurse kicks in! Hopefully that should knock this cold on the head once and for all! Someone in work gave the cake recipe!!
Just checked my valued opinions surveys and has £10 waiting for me so have cashed that it for an amazon voucher and may get a beading book with it and from now on start saving for a cash neutral christmas next year...Am also thinking about doing lots of beady things and maybe doing a craft fayre at some stage...
