    hex - did you decide what to do about a Diesel cake ? I was thinking there are two ways you could do it.
    One is you could make a square cake and use grey and black and red and white royal icing to decorate the top to look like his face square on. This has a good pic of his face
    Or you could just make a random cake, square or round or whatever, ice it with grey icing and use liqurice or black writing icing to put on a train track and just put a toy Diesel on the top. Let us know what you do!



    Thanks JillD. We had an unexpected delivery of about 3 tonnes of manure which I had to shift so cake making plans got abandoned. He chose a nice chocolate cake from the supermarket for me instead, I will save your diesel ideas for his birthday though. First time I have spent my birthday shovelling cow pats.....

    No work today and the ground floor carpets are full of dirt from small boy wellies. I may have to force myself to get the Vax out.


    No motivation whatsoever.......

    THEN!!!!!!!!!

    I got in bed.. and told hubby to go get me a bobble.. and he pointed out I already had one in my hair..

    AND... when I went for a wee at 4:50am I fell over another box.. then missed sitting on the loo and banged my head on the sink...

    I decided you may as well know the rest!

    pigpen LMAO :rotfl: :rotfl: it's all fun and games in your house :D

    Right, I need to go and find my rent card (usually pay online but I decided it's such a whopping amount £50pw more than I used to pay :eek: ) I wanted it in black and white on my card cause I don't trust the website. Need to find some stuff for the HB forms too (the only thing they don't want is a blood sample :rolleyes: ) will get the right to buy form when I'm at the rent office.

Washed pots and put them away-went to post office and posted ebay stuff off-sorted paypal out and now am at work until 4-thankdfully only live about a 2 mins walk from work so will be in time to get flying for an hours or so!

  • Hi everyone :beer:

    I'm back in again, in my new house. Still several boxes to unpack, mostly books, which are waiting for the new shelving to arrive, so I'm ready to fly as best I can.

    pigpen - you just don't do anything by halves, do you? Arnica and a soak in the bath might help bring the bruising out.

    As well as today's list I will also:

    S/s downstairs/upstairs loo
    s/s kitchen sink
    Load SC for tomorrow's dinner
    Make tomorrow's lunch
    Work 12 hours

    Have a good day all
