Naughty granny.
I'd make you some, except I can't guarantee you'd actually get any as I need to do a lot of tests to make sure it comes out right....

PinkHeart5914 · 04/01/2019 23:29

Well yes you can’t make a cake and not test it in case you know it’s not good cake

Becca19962014 · 04/01/2019 23:32

Exactly!!

Looks like we have all abandoned this thread now. But personally I think it's been a bit depressing lately, me always going on about dh health, Becca and all her problems which none of us can help her with, and pinkwho has such a busy life with her three little ones. ( and the rabbit ) . I have loved speaking to you both ( and curtains) but for me it's time to leave the thread. I wish you all well for the future. I hope someone will feed Becca ,that would be a disaster. If owls continues I will pop in now and again to see how you are. 💐 we can still pm if needs be.

I hadn't abandoned it, found it dropped off my list and I've been struggling massively.

I'm sorry I was so depressing, it was actually why I stopped posting, I won't again so don't worry.

Becca19962014 · 23/01/2019 12:53

I also thought the thread had been deleted as it was created more than 90 days ago! Never mind.

Becca19962014 · 23/01/2019 12:53

Hope your DH is ok lin

So Becca do you want to keep owls going ? Is it a comfort to you knowing you can post without judgement etc?

Naughty DH Lin! So glad he's feeling well enough to go to work though, that must be a relief.

I've been very busy with life - since I switched back to 3 long days a week at work instead of 4 short ones I've been tireder than ever in the evenings. Also pledged to spend less time on my phone in 2019 so I've not been on mn much at all. I've been knitting lots, it's helping my head straighten out.

I've been thinking of you all

Becca19962014 · 23/01/2019 21:24

Oh no it's ok don't worry I didn't mean it should keep going just because of me. I need to post less anyway.

Becca I would hate to take something away from you. Let's just carry on then and see how it goes.
curtains glad to see you are getting on ok., what are you knItting ?

OP posts:
Becca19962014 · 23/01/2019 21:43

Are you sure? I feel really guilty now. I don't want you doing something if you don't want to. Sorry that wasn't my intention when I posted!

Becca19962014 · 23/01/2019 21:44

Though obviously I do need feeding. As I'm starving

Mummylin · 23/01/2019 21:59

We will just carry on as normal until we all get fed up with it !!
Until Pink arrives have some of the lardy cake, I know you like that !

OP posts:
Becca19962014 · 23/01/2019 22:21

Are you sure you're the real mummylin is it really proper Lardy cake??? Or is it cunningly disguised veg??????

I'm glad your DH is doing ok now. I meant to say that before but forgot, sorry.

Mummylin · 23/01/2019 22:31

Tosses in some healthy veg so Becca knows it's really me !

Morning owls 😃

Would be happy for the tree to keep going as I do enjoy talking to you lovely bunch.

@ThrowThoseCurtainsWide Glad you popped in to see us as I was just thinking the other day I’d not seen you around for a while.

I’m sitting in a coffee shop on my own with a book, all 3 dc are in the shopping centre crèche for a couple of hours.

It really is delicious Pink it's all sticky and sugary. Buy one and try it, but go to a proper bakery if you have one around. You will be surprised how lovely it is.
Don't have to cook tonight as I made huge stew on Tuesday , but last night dh went out and my brother and I went to carvery, so all I have to do today is more spuds and fresh dumplings later.
I would invite you to dinner Becca but I know you wouldn't eat it !

OP posts:
Becca19962014 · 24/01/2019 14:26

Maybe pink is scared by the scary fruit !! It's quite safe and really really really unhealthy Grin

Yeh I think I'll pass on that thanks lin

PinkHeart5914 · 24/01/2019 16:34

It could be the fruit cake, never been a fan of fruit cake tbh. I mean lemon drizzle lovely but any other fruit cake isn’t for me. Weddings always disappoint when the cake is fruit but I feed it to my strange dh

Mummylin · 24/01/2019 16:39

But it's not like a normal fruit cake , it's sort of doughy , don't know how else to describe it.
I have splitting headache today for some reason, trying to avoid talking anything, but may resort if it dosent go.
Have either of you had any snow ?

Becca19962014 · 24/01/2019 17:50

Noooooo it's nothing like fruit cake at all.

It's actually made with a rich bread recipe and then that's folded into three with a layer of caster sugar, some sultanas or raisins and then blobs of lard no top three times. Then you let it rise and cook it in a tin which has been greased with lots of lard. The lard and sugar melts and the bottom is crispy.

Once out the oven you put golden syrup on it, it's especially nice warm - I wouldn't know what cold tastes like

It's not like yukky fruit cake. I knew it'd be the yukky fruit putting you off.
