*mm I always use the vitoria sponge recipe for fairy cakes, but spoon it out into cake cases.
My friend has just left, it was lovely to catch up. There are toys everywhere and most of the toy boxes are empty!! I was going to tidy up straight away but I have decided that there is no point until my neices and nephews have been.

Well I've been rubbish today. Managed quite a lot of sleep last night but felt exhausted still so I went for a 'nap' at 10 when DS went down for his. I woke up when he did at 1.15pm!

That is a long time for him to sleep, must be from his jab yesterday. Not doing very well with my list!!!!
Peppa - DS was like that for a couple of weeks when he started to crawl, things have improved, he only woke once last night!
CC - What a nightmare for you

New title : Calling all slatterns. Martha Stewart we certainly are not! (or something along those sort of lines)

Peppa go to control panel, then regional and language options, then click on the keyboard and languages tab and you should get the option to change the keyboard to English uk
(It has driven me mad each time I've lived abroad because the keyboard has been set to different languages and I haven't been able to type properly!) there is a shorter way of doing it on the keyboard itself but I can't remember how!
Peppa - i used to get that with my previous laptop. you have to hunt around trying everything to find where the things that you want to use are, sure the £ sign is hiding somewhere!
