Merry Christmas.
Sorry I haven't been in.... RL stuff Christmas isn't a good time for me. Oh carp I thought you birthday was the 28th for some reason
Sorry for missing it
Happy Belated Birthday ! xx
That's ok, I understand. *hugs*
Did birthday things today anyway... as witnessed by my Fili feels. *nods* (Hobbit)
That was very nice, thank you. I now need a real life Pringles cake... or just Pringles, I have those.
So soooorrry
I think I had a hangover mixed with food poisoning, Didn't even eat any turkey til yesterday as the thought of food made me green. Glad you had a good Hobbity Birthday!
Oh gods... Not good at all. I was wondering where you'd got to, started to get a bit worried.
No sorry, don't be sorry. *nods*
I will say a cheery thing. My wee cousin got a kitten for her birthday today. It's called "Olly Purrs". As much as I love a pun... I'm not sure I approve.
Awww...umm well she can always shorten it to Olly eventually
Did you get any nice stuffs for Christmas and your Birthday ?
Well... with my birthday/xmas money from parents/work/aunt R I got a Blu-ray player (dvd player is over ten years old, on the road out), The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (my first Blu-ray.), Pokemon Omega Ruby and a second-hand Professor Layton game. Still have money left, not doing as well as last year with that though, I still had some in July *ahem*. Then there's smelly stuff, socks and nail varnish and a bottle of bicardi.
How did you do? Anything special?
Oh mannn! Baking is hard
You think so? I've never had much trouble. Though I've never done a Madeira - for some reason!
Happy Hogmanay.
Madeira's the best cake of all. You can ice it or you can just eat it as is. It's wonderful.
Yes, I just had some the other day....and it got me to wondering why I had never made one myself.
I got a few bits and pieces for the flat for Christmas, cutlery, storage boxes, candles Lots of small things like bath sets. Also got lots of chocolates [ too polite to say I'm on a diet - I shall do my duty and eat em however ] and work them off on the exercise bike.
Happy Hogmanay !
Do it! It's easy... If you want my recipe?
Candles, they've got very popular as gifts this year... thankfully cut down my chocolate haul... still got too much chocolate, I don't want to eat it.

OK then, fire away. Might be a while before I actually get round to it though.

So. It's 2015 - When's Springwatch?
This is a gas mark 3... I have no idea what happened to the book... I'm too lazy to copy it out. *ahem*
Sift in flour and baking powder, then add everything else and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Middle (or high-ish) shelf in the oven. If it browns/burns too quickly put tinfoil loosely over it.
Umm... Springwatch... May is it? Normally?
Nice cake. Reminds me I got a mini cupcake kit for my birthday. Teeny, pointy cups.
Now eaten most of the chocs... just the After Eights and a Selection Box to go. Daren't go near the scales.
Wish they'd do a Winterwatch as a regular thing?
I've given away most of the chocs I got... and all of the wine. Bought myself a reduced to clear tin of swizzle sweets instead.
Yeah... regular Winterwatching would be good.
A regular Winterwatch would be good. After all, it's not as if ALL flora and fauna totally disappear for the winter months. They did one a couple of years ago (or more probably) and I think it went well.
