WELCOME TO THE COSMIC WALTONS' CYBER SOFA

I love the idea of us being the Cosmic Waltons!

Love Kirsty x

Great idea Row hun! Just one thing tho are we talking double choc muffins or the other sort (spiced fruit type you toast and eat hot with butter?)Either way is fine with me I love both!!! Ha ha to the Waltons analogy... Goodnight Kirsty, goodnight Row, Goodnight Pat, Goodnight Viv, Goodnight Janet's, Goodnight Mary, Goodnight Lyn etc, etc... It would take ages to get through us all ! teehee!!! Lol Monica
P.S Oh if anyones interested maybe this thread would be a good place to swap recipes, I'm up for a swap for my Mum's 'Devil's food cake' Really yummy chocolate cake which is a good way of using up any milk that's gone sour ( really tastes better than it sounds).... just let me know if anyones interested and I'll post it ( if that's o.k with you Row?) xxx

I use to love the Waltons. I'm up for swapping recipes.

Karin x

You all know me, like Kirsty, I'm a sucker for a muffin or a piece of cake! This thread's a great idea Rowena. It's lovely to have you back on line with us again regularly, Row. Hi everyone, hope you're having a brilliant weekend. I've been chilling out all day and I'm still in my PJ's (lazy beggar aren't I!) Just going to make myself a nice hot cuppa, pity I haven't got one of those muffins to go with it (LOL)
Love Pat xxx

I've just had a lovely bar of cadbury's milk chocolate and cup of tea. No cake in my house at the mo! Just been doing washing and dyed half my daughters school shirts pink! trying to sort them out now! Had a good night out with friends from gym last night so just catching up on housework today! Hope everyone else had a good weekend too. Linda x

Woo hoo! I'm so happy you've embraced the idea of this thread (HUGGGG)...

Monica: you can have any type of muffin you like!! I was talking about the blueberry or double-choc-chip variety (mmmm!), but if you want a toasted version with butter: fill yer boots!! hee hee!!

As for recipes - the more the merrier!! I'd LOVE to start collecting ideas/recipes for things to cook/bake once I'm fully fit and able to open/close the oven door again! So - feel free to write any recipes to your hearts' content you lovely peeps!!

Pat: hee hee, I don't blame you for being in your PJs - there's nothing wrong with indulgence: go for it!!!! By the way, I've been asking the Angels to help you re. your lodger situ. I hope something comes to fruition for you soon!!!

Ahhh, Linda - sounds like you've had a busy weekend and fully deserve that bar of cadbury's!!!! Got anything planned for the week ahead, you busy beeeee??

Kirsty: Hope you're still celebrating over at your house - and I hope Tizer is joining in too!!! Give him a cuddle for me!! hee hee

Viv: if/when you read this - I'm doing much better thank you for asking - and I'm convinced my recuperation rate is progressing well because I have all your love and support and healing on here, so THANK YOU for being in my life, all of you.

Lyn: write soon!!!!!!!!!

I wish you all a fab week ahead...

Much love always, Rowena xxx

Only just managing to get on! Been busy with the kids all day! Just sneaked on before doing baths!!I had the most gorgeous hot chocolate deluxe this afternoon!!! Big mug, hot chocolate, whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles and mini marshmallows!!!! It was so yummy!!!!!!!

Don't have a preference for cakes or biscuits! Any will do!!

Off to do baths. Back on later!!! Lyn xx

Mmmmmm, not had one of those for yonks!! Wow - deluxe indeed Lyn: nice one!!!! Hope you've had a great weekend!! Am off to right in my gratitude/Good Memories journal soon! Lotsa Love, Row xxx

There was a post on one of the threads that I can't find! It was mentioning writing a short story about something you would like to happen in the future, describing how it feels and things like that. This is such a fantastic idea and I wanted to thank whoever it was that posted it for bringing it to my attention! I am going to write about my last day at work!!!!

The hot choccy was so gorgeous .....

Good writing !!! Lyn xx

Dear Friends, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Today is the start of the Year of the Ox (my Chinese sign!) and I would like to wish you all a peaceful, healthy, joyful and prosperous year...May you be blessed with all things good in your lives.

I hope you have a fabulous Monday and week ahead too!

I feel very positive today indeed!

I had an amazing dream (v briefly): I was in a restaurant which had a skylight as its roof; I looked up at the night sky and saw 3 huge moons!!!! It was awesome in every sense of the word!

Anyway... kettle's on if you fancy a cuppa, and I've brought some chocolate and walnut brownies to the cyber-coffee table as a treat!! Help y'selves!!

Love to all, Rowena xxx

Hi Row & Everyone else,

Just before I nip and make a cuppa (sorry no cakes in my house either!) thought I'd join the Waltons theme but say "Good Morning - Row, Viv, Pat, other Janets (what a great name!!), Monica, Jackie, Em etc........sorry memory isn't what it was so if you're name's missed don't worry, I'm including you too!!!

Now lavender & lemon grass tea is calling - lovely and calming as I start another new day!

In love & light,

Janet

x

Hi Janet! Lovely to hear from you - I've just made a jasmine tea!! All the cakes I write about are virtual: we don't have any in the house either!!! Eeeeek... It's a beautiful day here after a very wet and gusty start - the sun is now shining through! Hope yours is peace-filled and the birds are chirping!! Love and light Row xx

The birds are certainly chirping but there's not any sun to accompany them unfortunately!!

Still not complaining, at least it's not raining!

Have a great day,

Janet
x

the birds are certainly singing beautifully today, i even heard a woodpecker earlier, had wonderful experience last nite while trying to connect with spirit and meet arch angel ariel, not too sure of the meaning but b4 she appeared saw lots of multi coloured fairies,totally blown away. looking at my doreen virtue book she is angel for environment and healing animals. hope you all have a wonderful day off, to do housework, no need for radio as have beautiful birdsong
love to you all maryxx

gosh, that's amazing... very magical and special indeed (lucky you!)... Don't overdo it with the housework; hope you have time to yourself to just BE!

Lots of love, Row xx

Lovely ladies - this thread is a great idea. Haven't much time to catch up as MUST finish my lunch break now (30 mins has become an hour). Have got a lovely recipe for the scones that my friend made this weekend. Will share when I get home. Love to all. Kim xxx

This morning sorted out all my clothes, now got a big pile for the charity shop. I am now feel great that I have sorted my wardrobes out, maybe now I will find things a lot quicker.

I am now going to have a cuppa and a cyber muffin with Rowena !

P.S Just looked out of the window- next door has just arrived back with their caravan, from winter storage is this a sign of warmer weather coming.

Take care

Janet

Aaah Kim! You made it... I was going to invite you over as I've seen your posts on other threads!! Nice to meet you at last! Looking forward to the scone recipe!!! Yay!!!

To all you lovely peeps reading this: Spread the word about this thread to your friends on other threads - invite them to come and join the cyber-chill-out-zone :)

Oooh Janet - another busy beeeee like the lovely Mary, I see... gosh, didn't mean to make that rhyme!! hee hee  Well, if it's getting warmer out there, I can't feel it right now - but like my subject heading states: never say never!! I wonder where they're off to...?!  Here, have another muffin and spill the good vibe beans....

Love & Light, Rowena xx

I have never taken much interest in forums but you guys are so friendly.

Happy Chinese New year everyone, my sign is the Pig.

Runa how do you put your yellow faces in your comment box?

In you comments to Viv you said your recuperation rate is progressing can I ask what you are recovering from?

I am recovering from a virus that has left me with M.E. It started with a cold a few weeks later I was and I can still be sensitive to noise and light, myalgia and joint pain the list is endless. work have been brilliant about it, I was working all week but now I do between 2 -3 days a week. After having three months off, but I wont give in to it. I have joined a gym to help build my strength (I don't lift any weights, ironically) and stamina. You know what, I never would of believed that peeling spuds and lifting a pan of spuds would be too much to do. My hubby has been great!!

I think its time for a cup of coffee and a cyber cake (the best sort at least there's no calories to think about) and then to get the dinner on.

love Karin

Hi Karin! Lovely to meet you and welcome to the cyber-sofa!! Really glad you dropped by ... as you can see we're a pretty laid back bunch!!

I'm glad you're happy to indulge in cyber cake - like you say, no calories involved, just use your vivid imagination!! hee hee ...

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear about your ME: a few of my friends have it...*shaking head sadly* I know how debilitating it can be watching it first hand. You have my sympathy...

Lifting stuff! Ugh! Don't I know it!!!! Until a week ago I was still under doc's orders not to lift a kettle!! I can at least do that now, but still nothing else domestic: no cleaning, cooking, laundry, shopping - nothing strenuous at all til at least March and even then, it's the softly-softly approach! Sheesh!!

I had a hysterectomy (I'm only 35!) in November; which has pretty much knocked me for six! But the lovely peeps on here have been sending their healing and I'm MUCH BETTER than I was back in the 'early days' thanks to them!!Without the ladies on here with their positive vibes and encourgement and my darling husband helping me at home - I'd be lost!!!!!!

As for the yellow emoticons... when you finish typing a message, click on the 'preview comment' button and then you'll see a toolbar across a white message screen ...you'll see a yellow smilie face on that bar, place your cursor where you want to insert an icon, then click on the smiley face and select the icon you want to insert!! Then it appears next to (or in the region of) your text!!! Hope that made some sort of sense!! GOOD LUCK!  Give it a try...!

What are you cooking for dinner tonight? Enjoy...

Much love

Rowena xx

... will be something simple tonight as have to get Bethan to Brownies. Possibly egg and chips! Lyn xx

Yum!!  We're having beef, roast veg, gravy and  potatoes for tea.

Karin I have ME too, have had it for about 7 years or so now - it's good to build up your stamina, but my advice would be please be careful going to the gym and only do gentle exercise (walking, yoga, swimming) til you know if you can cope with it or not!  I work for myself part-time too, and that makes life much better.  I did try to work full-time for a few years but kept ending up being poorly again every now and then. 

Love to all, Kirsty xx

Hi Ladies - sorry to hear about your ME - have you tried reflexology at all as it can be really good for relieving the symptoms.

Other than that, I'll not be eating until late as it's yoga tonight but when I do it will be something cobbled together with some lambs steaks my hubby bought at the weekend!

Enjoy your cyber tea & cakes!

In love & light,

Janet

Hi Everyone!!!

This is a fabulous idea and another good reason for me to keep popping in to say hello, chat with friends and have coffee & cake..

Am I too late for the chocolate brownies? oh well I am on a diet anyway!!

I had a lovely day yesterday, I took my mum out shopping,  we called at a nice pub for Sunday lunch, then we headed back to her house for the evening to watch TV and I stayed over...

Did you see Todd Carty on Dancing on Ice? I laughed so much I cried, it was fabulous!!!

Anyway, the point I am getting to is I could access the forum on my wap phone but it wouldn't let me log in to answer your posts and I could see you all chatting on here and I really wanted to join in but couldn't.

But,  after my lovely day with my mum, it was the perfect ending to know there are such nice people out there that I can chat to and call my friends.

Wonderful idea Row!!

Thanks and love to my fellow Waltons!!

Viv xxx

Row,

PS....I have just seen your message to me on the positive journal  re this thread..

Thank you, I really appreciate your words..xx

hope everyones had a good day?

Sorry to hear you have ME Karin. That must be so frustrating for you, glad you've had lots of support tho.

I had curry for dinner tonight, (i don't like curry!) but my daughter has a cold and decided it would be good for her! But just had chocolate cornetto for pudding so I'm ok!!!

  I saw Todd Carty on dancing on ice! I was crying with laughter. It was the funniest thing i've seen in ages!

Going to have hot chocalate in a minute, unfortunatly no marshmallows or cream.  Will get some asap tho!

Linda x

Hi Linda,

I have just set Sky Plus to record last nights Dancing on Ice next saturday, if I ever need cheering up I shall put it on !!

Enjoy your hot chocolate..Iv just had an Options chocolate and orange drink, mmmm yummy!!!

Viv x

i've been up to see my friend in kendal 2day, she treated me to the BEST steak sandwich ever, with chunky chips and garlic mayo double yum!

no cakes in my house either, still trying to finish off xmas goodies!

love alison xxx

Hi Row,
Could do with one of your cuppas just now (and a virtual double choc chip muffin, of course). Found out tonight I could be made redundant very shortly, still there are far worse things in life. Just found out the lovely guy who sold me my cottage lost his partner Pam last April. Poor love, my heart really goes out to him, please send out some healing thoughts for him. He's coming over to see me on Sunday, told him he's always welcome here. I'll never forget his kindness during the move. Sorry to hear about your ME Karin. I know it's very debilitating. It's lovely that we have this place so we can share our joys and our troubles with each other isn't it?
Hope you enjoy watching your Dancing on Ice Viv. Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
Speak to you all soon.
Love Pat xxx

Hi Pat,

So sorry to hear of your friend and I will include him in my prayers tonight.

And you too with your job..

Take care Hun!

Thinking of you..

Love Viv xxx

Thanks for including my friend in your prayers. His name's Robin (my favourite bird). Hope you've had a good day.
Love Pat xxx

Rowena - for the lovely warm welcome. I've seen you around on the forum too and it's great to have an opportunity to say a proper hello! Real life scones! Makes 6, 20min prep, cook 20mins (measurements in ounces cos I'm old fashioned).2oz butter with extra for greasing; 8oz self raising flour; 1oz caster sugar; 4oz berries (friend used blackberries); 150g pot natural yog (not fat-free); 4tbsp milk.Heat oven to 200deg C (fan assisted). Line and grease baking tray.In a large bowl: rub flour and butter together with fingers to make rough crumbs. Stir in sugar and gently toss in berries. Mix yoghurt and milk together in a seperate bowl, pour this into the flour mixture and mix together briefly to form a soft dough.Flour hands and shape dough into a ball. Place onto the tray and flatten out into an 18cm circle, 2cm thick. Mark into 6 wedges with a knife then sprinkle with flour. Bake for 16-20mins until risen and golden. Break into wedges while warm. Enjoy!!!

I love Robins too Pat.
Yes, quite a good day thanks,a busy one though!!
How was yours?

Love

Viv xxx

...Thank you for being my personal Heatwave!!!

________________________________

Hey everyone! This is a bit of an epic, so I hope you're sitting comfortably!!!

Firstly I'd like to say a big THANK YOU for making this thread a success, I'm thrilled to bits that you've enjoyed reading/contributing to it and hope it continues to grow and grow - just like our Cosmic Walton Family is doing!!! Woo hoo!

Lyn, Kirsty, Janet, Linda: mmm, fooooood... hee hee... sounds like you all had lovely meals, though I'm sorry to hear Linda that you don't like curry!!! Mind you, I love cornettos so that'd be a great incentive to eat my brocolli (which I can't STAND! hee hee)

Alison: Hi! So glad you've joined in on here and please, please, please tell me WHERE in Kendal did you go for that YUM sounding meal?!?!? My husband and I love the Lake District and we usually have a day trip to Kendal when we're up there! Would love to check this joint out next time we venture north (whenever that may be) - ideally we'd love to actually live in Ambleside!!! Dreams, eh... one day they might come true!!!

Viv: my dear you are NEVER too late for a brownie or any other baked goodie on this cyber-sofa!!!! hee hee... don't worry about the cals on here, they're all virtual... so fill up on whatever takes your fancy!! Oh and get you with your fancy mobile phone checking out what we're writing on here!! hee hee!! Nice one!!!!! And by the way: what on earth are you on a diet for ??? You're gorgeous...you don't need to change a thing!!

Kim: Yay! You returned!! Thanks for the recipe! Looking forward to trying it out!! No need to apologise re. measurements - I prefer old fashioned measurements too - I get too confused with all the metric stuff...mind you I get confused with my 5x table (joking, but you get the gist) - I'm really not a number person... far prefer words -as I'm sure you've figured out if you've read THIS much of my message...

Pat: As you know I've emailed you direct about your message... You KNOW my thoughts are with you m'dear... HUG

As for Dancing on Ice - nah, I don't watch it - I'm more a Strictly Come Dancing fan (is anyone else??)

Aaah, I love robins too...I saw TWO together on the same branch as I passed a tree on my way to the sea with Chris weekend before last: bless they were so cute!!!! I also saw two magpies and two cats! Then this weekend just gone, same route, we saw two lots of 2 white dogs being walked together (by different owners)... I wonder if that means anything?!!

Hey you know I had that incredible dream night before last when I dreamt I was in a restaurant which had a skylight as its roof; I looked up through the window at the night sky and saw three HUGE moons! One crescent, one full and one new. (It was truly breathtaking),well, last night I dreamt I was on a cruise ship; I went into a lift and stopped at the 44th (!), 26th and 9th floors, in that order. I checked the meanings of the three numbers and in order they stood for:

44 - refers to a sacred union or divine marriage

26 - symbolises Earth and Karma

9 - denotes completion and that you are on a productive path. Rebirth, inspiration and reformation. You are seeking to improve the world.

HOW AMAZING??? That Hematite rock is certainly working in helping me remember my dreams at the moment... mind you I do ask the Angels to help me remember them too!! Hee hee!!

Oh dear - told you this was going to be a thesis!! Hope you're not nodding off... here: have a slice of zesty lemon cake, or perhaps even a hot toasted crumpet with melted butter and strawberry jam?? Any takers...??

Wishing you all a blissful day... Much love, Row xxx

Devils Food Cake

I'm the same Kim so all measurements are imperial.

4 oz butter or marge

5 oz caster sugar

1 small tspn vanilla essence

2 eggs

2oz chocolate or cocoa ( if you use choc you'll need to melt it first)

8oz self raising flour

half tspn salt

1 teacup of sour milk ( don't worry if you don't have sour milk just add a few drops of lemon juice to fresh milk instead)

quarter teaspoon of bicarb

Method

Grease and line two 7" sandwich tins or a 7x9" tin

Cream butter or marge and sugar, beat in essence then eggs one at a time,sift flour salt and cocoa  together. Add the bicarb to milk and beat alternately flour and milk mixture into eggs, sugar and marge or butter mixture.

Transfer into tins ( tin) and bake at gas 5, approx 190 degrees C for 35-40 mins ( adjust for fan assisted oven)

Cake is done when skewer inserted into centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool and sandwich together with chocolate butter cream ( or if you're feeling decadent add some rum or brandy to the butter cream!)

This is def not for the fainthearted as the cake is def one with attitude and is a good 'keeper' for those who want to use portion control! teehee !!! Bon Appetit!

...mmm, thank you Monica!!!  Chris will LOVE it!!! hee hee

All these Positive Journals and Dream Journals will now have a new friend: a Recipe Journal!

Yay!

Row xxx

Hiya Monica, Row, Jackie, Pat, Kirsty, Lyn, The Janets ( I love that too!) Linda, Alison, Kim,

and anyone elso who knows me ...G, day to you all !!

Oh my I am in chocoloate heaven here...And portion contol..Whats that hee hee!!!

Thanks Monica, it sounds great, and I will have a go when I get chance..xxx

And Row, You say the nicest things...xxx

The dream interpretations are interesting, did you get the numbers thing from numerology?

I know nothing about it, but as the 2 Magpies signify joy don't they, and don't white dogs have some spiritual connections..not sure what but Im sure I have read it somewhwere..

Sounds like there is some meaning attached to it somewhere...Hmmmm..

And I love Strictly, and last years X factor and Dancing on Ice..I need to get out more..ha ha !!!

Viv xxx

PS...I love scones too Kim, I have no chance of losing weight here have I...xxx

Hi Viv!

Yay! We're online at the same time for once!! Hope you're ok and your day is going well?

I got the numbers from this dream interpretation website I use - it's amazing!! the address is:

http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

For you or anyone else who'd like to check it out!

Oooh, yay! You're a Srictly fan too!! Do you dance?? I have two left feet ...tee hee - but I love watching the show and learning about the dances etc! It's all FABULOUS daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarling!! *grin*

Much Love Row xxx

Honestly Row and Viv - hope you enjoy the scones. They're really lovely. The ones my friend made were a little stodgy in the middle but kept nice and moist for days after she made them. I'm intolerant to wheat but decided to give them a go anyway - so glad I did.

Now I want a crumpet with plenty of butter and jam. Can't remember the last time I had that. Feel like making that Devil's Food Cake too! Got home last night and the flat smelt of pancakes (the other day it smelt of tuna which is weird cos I've never had tuna in the place!!!) Anyway the pancake smell was so lovely I had to make some ;o) Didn't get my 5-a-day thanks to that but still it was a very nice treat.

Another Strictly fan here. I do dance but not ballroom, I'm still looking for my perfect partner for that (couldn't dance with a stranger!) Wish I could remember my dreams - they all come and go. Maybe I need one of those rocks!!!

Blimey I feel so comfy here I could just stay all day. The virtual sofa is nice and plush, I feel like my bum's moulded into the seat. Still I have to get back to work - got a huge mountain of things to do on my desk! Thanks for meeting me for lunch, it's been lovely to see you all.

Have a smashing afternoon and I'll see you again tonight. Lots of love, Kim xxx

...for you Kim!! Hope you have a great afternoon and enjoy whatever scent greets you at home when you open the door tonight!!!! tee hee .... Mmm, pancakes...!!! Must confess tho: I've never tried making them! Too scared to flip the things!!! eeek - gosh, HOW SAD am I!?!?! lol I know what you mean about not being able to dance with a stranger - I'd love to try and dance, but Chris is shy and he's my husband!!!!!!! But some of the stuff they do on SCD, I'd blush to do them with a stranger for sure!!! Esp in those skimpy outfits -blimey - I'd be bursting out all over the place : not pretty!!! hee hee hee... What's on that desk of yours that can't wait til tomorrow Kim?! Life's here, in the Cyber-House, just chill out a wee while and indulge in some YOU TIME, with yer hot cuppa and crumpets!!! ;0) Travel home safe... Love Row xxx

just dropped in for a nice afternoon tea and cake b4 collecting madam from school, row pancakes are really easy, i just guesstemate, flour ,eggs and milk mix it all up, the trick is to have a really hot frying pan and once there's movement flip away. goin to make a cuppa now , oh my little man just come in 'mummy wat u doin' he sounds italian in his ickle 2 yr old voice love to you all maryxxx

...ahh, bless Mary, that's so sweet!!! :o) Hm, will have to seriously think about getting some pancake gear together so I can flip when I'm well enough to lift a frying pan again (ours weighs a ton!!!) hee hee!!!! Row xxx

hope that's soon and will continue to send you healing and my thoughts darling , i must say you've made this cafe look great, with the comfy sofa and guilt free menu love to you maryxxx

Aaah, thank you Mary, you're a sweetie!!! :) Really glad you're comfy in here... I do try to keep the place tidy and as relaxing as possible!! *lights jasmine inscense stick*... Shall I top up your cuppa m'dear? Row xxx

Hi Row,

Just bobbed into the coffee lounge before my favourite show of the moment "Deal or No Deal" starts!  Sorry can't say I like SCD or any of the other "celebrity" things...but happy to sit hear enjoying an imaginery plate of pancakes - takes me back to American hols.....always make sure I get one "healthy!!!!!" breakfast whilst I'm there - pancakes with bacon & maple syrup!!!!

Anyway, it will be pancake day soon (always February) so there'll be loads of stuff in the shops to make pancakes easily - I'm afraid cooking's not my strong point so I cheat and get a mix that you just add water or milk (see can't even remember that!) to.  Must say that tossing them is actually much easier than you'd imagine!

Anyway enjoy your cyber coffee/cakes my friend and why not flip a virtual pancake for me!!

In love & light,

Janet

heya i am new hear and i am an early teen very intrested in tarot have my own cards and have done some spells. Anyone know of any gatherings in Scotland ?? :D

cooo-eee! Kettle's ready!! Glad you stopped by albeit it on a whirlwind visit Janet... I hope they sell pancake mix year round so I can give it a go in summer!! tee hee... Enjoy your Deal or No Deal... I wonder if Box 20 has the £250K in it today!? ;0) Just taking a wild guess.... hee hee... Getting a whole batch of virtual pancakes ready for when you all come Home... Love always Row xxx

Hiya Mary,

He sounds a real cutie!!

Pancakes always remind me of when my kids were younger, although my eldest and grown up son often asks me to make him some..boys eh, they never grow up!!

Hiya Row..Sorry I must have missed you earlier, I was dashing off to work..I should have been working at home all morning but I did just pop in here for my coffee break, hee hee !!

Kirsty, I loved your reply to Monica re the facebook message..A straight talking yorkshire lass like meself!!

Im off to get my dinner now.. Jacket spud, salad and Tuna steak, i'm having a healthy day so far, still theres time for change, especially with all this talk of devils cake and yummy scones!!

See ya later!

Viv xxx

  Hey everyone, did anyone see Golden Balls this evening? wow! that young girl took the rug out from under the older woman when it came to split or steal - she stole £77,000.

Hi Runa thanks for the tip on how to access the little faces

love Karin

I make mine without eggs I must admit. I don't keep eggs in the house (I'm intolerant and here on my own so struggle to use 6!) Just eggs and flour to me. I don't toss them either, I just use a long spatula to lift/flip. You can get special 2 sided pancake+omelette pans where you pour the mix into one side, leave it to start cooking, put on the top and flip the whole thing over to cook the other side. Haven't really had much opportunity to use mine though as I just use a regular non-stick frying pan (a little Tefal one). The mix should be available all year round Row.

Had lovely butternut squash and carrot soup for tea tonight. No rogue smells lurking so that kept me on the straight and narrow. Fancy more pancakes though!!!

Sadly I can't get online at work outside of my lunch break (internet is blocked). Probably a good thing cos between here and Facebook I'd never get any work done!!!! As for the dancing - I wouldn't risk it in one of those outfits either. Still everyone who goes on SCD loses loads of weight and the girls who stay in a long time end up with great figures!!!! When I find "the man" I'll give it a go happily.

Snuggling up in front of the TV tonight. Got library books due back on Friday so I'd best get on and read them. Started on Bill Clinton's autobiography but it was too much like hard work. Will read the Monica section just out of interest - think that's what most people would do ;o)

Have a great evening chatting everyone. Enjoy the tea and cake (oooh, crumpets!)
