I am in the process of making some of twinks hobnobs... then I am going to the shops. So I might see something I fancy then

I didn't go to the shops.... So NSD for me

And, I had a fishfinger sandwich for tea

Hobnobs look fab. Some have white chocolate, some have milk chocolate, some have dried cranberries. I didn't use all of the unbaked mix though.... Thought I would try freezing it to see how that works.
Just waiting on my friend coming over now.... to eat them .

I'd just stick in the whole sachet - I doubt it will make much difference - baking is craft not science as far as I'm concerned!

Hi Mrs Mc
Well done for having money to sort the car out. Its a relief to have some contingency money for the unexpected.

I'm off to Germany for the weekend and hear that there isn't much to eat for fussy people like me (I don't eat meat, only fish and vegetables). Is it true its difficult to find fish/vegetarian meals? (I'll take snacks, just in case).
Also should I pack my thick jumper .... for the snow????

Thanks
