DD collected, various letters posted and I popped to the local resource center (credit union and local info place) to see if they had any course I could do - they only do classroom assistant or IT ones, neither of which are really any good to me as I'm in the process of sorting out studying them elsewhere :rolleyes::rotfl: Didn't pop into school as I got distracted reading stuff in the window of the resource center :rotfl: Oh well, I'd probably be better off going after the holidays anyway, or I could just work my backside off on the school website instead Infact I think I'll do that, if I can just find all the damn stuff I had for it ! :mad::mad:

DD has decided she wants crumpets for tea and nothing else :rolleyes: So I'll do her some with cheese on, and then some fruit for afters. I really need to make some decision as to what I should do for my OU course. But I can't make up my mind, eventually I want to do ICT, but I'm wondering whether any of the short courses could be beneficial now?

Oh well, off to read some more OU courses. :wave:

Mudbath

nicki - when will your ou course start? i did a few courses with them a few years ago and really enjoyed them though they were all health related.

i've got a batch of hot cross buns that need eating if anyone wants one?

i'm going to do a boogie fling in each room during commerical breaks as i'm taking it a bit easy and surfing on here. speak later xx

gunsandbanjos

My first ever SC attempt was yummy:D Would definately recommend the recipe.
LO's school is having an 'Easter Extravaganza' on wednesday, basically fundraising me thinks:rolleyes: Anyway i'm going to do some baking for it, thinking of Rocky Road slices, Shortbread etc Any other things that go down well?

Phew! Can I sit down please before I go do school runs in 10 mins??????

Kitchen back to its usual sparkly-ish state. Had lunch. Weather changed from blowing a hooley, to piddling down so now have 3 washer loads lined up for TD. After lunch decided I should crack on and get ahead with cooking. So the cooker has been on since 12.30 and have made (get me!)

- 10 mixed grain rolls for pack ups
- HM fish pie for tonight's dinner
- HM cherry pie (HUUUUUUGE one) for pudding with ice cream
- used up leftover pastry and made apricot jam tarts
- tray of baked potatoes for lunches to simply zap in the microwave
- HM tortilla dough is currently resting ready to roll out for tomorrow's tea
- onions, peppers, sundried toms and chicken strips roasting in oven.

I am so chuffed :j

Just to to make some tzatziki for the chicken tortilla wraps and that's me done.:T :T

Also S/S'd downstairs loo.

Catch ya'll later

In a word - WOW. You're a cooking lady possessed!!! xx

I didn't know what AF meant either!

Lucky you to find some unexplained flowers. Do you have a secret admirer do you think?
