to have spent the afternoon making...

[dandycandyjellybean]

chocolate chip cookies, shortbread and digestive biscuits, when the house really needs a good tidy and there is a mountain of clean washing to put away. AND...to spend the rest of the evening covering half of the digestives in melted choc (whilst sipping a massive large g&t), rather than do needed chores?

YANBU - I went to the shops earlier and bought a new mop and the ingredients to make chocolate brownies... guess which 'chore' has been done?

[dandycandyjellybean]

am embarrassed to admit to hearing a brill recipe for choc brownies on ...(whispers) womans hour...although i was stuck in a massive traffic jam at the time. Were your brownies gorgous?

[TastesLikePanda]

Still cooling - but it's a well trusted reecipe that always comes out awesome.

Alas, I'm on a sodding diet, they are a thank you to someone for doing a little job for me! But since I have to give them to someone, I suppose I need to check the quality...

[hairfullofsnakes]

Oh I thought you were going to ask if you were BU for spending the afternoon making sloe gin in the bathtub.

Carry on so.

[dandycandyjellybean]
