You’ve made me feel guilty now so think I’ll be doing the same! And now I want to know what you are frivolous with ? :rose:

Of course people want to celebrate a new birth but all this in your face Baby Showers and Gender Reveals culminates in people only going because they feel they have to because they were invited and yet again spending out on a…[Read more]

As many of you old ones knew she had a life long battle with her health. You will also know the strength of her humour and how she made us all laugh. She was so clever and generous.

We formed a strong friendship through…[Read more]

That statement has put me right off you!

One that sticks in my mind was from years ago when the internet was clunky and we could trace ips and I only had one stomach!

I had a spread sheet in those days of offenders, now I couldn’t even see to read one!
God I had to wrack…[Read more]

I used to quite a lot at this time of year but haven’t seen many at all for the last two years. However, I did see one at work a couple of months ago when a colleague freaked out as she has a phobia of them. I got a tissue and picked it up and released it near a pond.

The other night I was sitting out on my…[Read more]

Consider this… Third Echelon…. one of the worse trolls that have been here for years, is STILL here lol

My first experience of him was him violently and sexually abusing a female chatter.

I gather you reported that to the police?

Thinking that Martin Reed actually cares abo…[Read more]

Maybe not just so full on ?   You obviously have a lot of time to kill but being in everyone’s face is like a turn off for most chatters.

Tone it down a bit would be my advice and not be quite so up people’s Aris.

You are obviously hyperactive and spend a lot of time in here but being over the top will loose you friends and influence!

I had BIG plans for Easter boxes. Bought loads of Easter stuff for them from Poundland for decorations and frippery!

However, I simply ran out of energy and still need to perfect my piping skills with these bloody Russian nozzles!

What I did instead was make up little treat bags for the local children to find on an Easter Hunt they are…[Read more]

Thank you rosanna, I’m up for all suggestions.  I’m doing a Mother’s Day tea box this weekend and have completely sold out!   They don’t even know what they are getting yet as told them it would be pot luck!   Needless to say I’m going to be very busy this weekend so it’s good I’m an early riser!

To be fair it was in a very stately place. Stowe | National Trust

My Council house has a very nice kitchen actually and I wasn’t a dinner lady, I was a toilet cleaner so have a very good knowledge of hygiene!

I wasn’t going to do Mother’s Day boxes due to my rubbish piping skills as I was planning to do pretty cup cakes but have had quite a lot of requests due to local tea rooms being sold out. Instead I’m…[Read more]

Seems you to have to the consistency of the icing just right and even though I  got better after three or four times  and even though the flowers looked ok they dropped after a while!

Thank you puds. This weekend I really wanted to do a Tapas box but found it a bit restrictive.  So broadened it to a Mediterranean one with Patatas Bravas, Tabbouleh, Manchego cheese and caramalized onion puff pastry squares,…[Read more]

Don’t think there is such a thing as an English one! Fortnum and Mason’s invented the Scotch egg many years ago!   It was designed for posh people going on picnics.

I have registered, I have a hygiene certificate, HMRC what’s that then? lol

I’ll be up at five tomorrow morning! Everything I do is fresh!
