August 2008 Laugh Line

[TwilightSurfer]

Too much pressure and too little thread space left me with but one choice so here we are. Let's discuss further the private space because quite honestly the "private" space is not so "private" at the moment. I'm no detective BUT there's only a handful of threads over there and all are beckoning me to read through them. For the moment we are safer here. Like a new model car, we should wait and let the kinks be worked out by the folks that can't WAIT to be part of the "new thing."

tweakers - he's just visiting. Not one of my lot will even realise that it will be round my due date. He invited my brother to come up too but R says that after their extended volcanic hols in Spain it's unlikely that SIL will come. She's too busy telling DBrother to go to my aunts house and get up the loft for all the girl's baby clothes so she can have them for dneice Fair enough I told her I would have a look but I want to look through them to see what I want to keep not have her choose what she wants and bin the rest the sizes she needs are up here anyway as D has just grown out of them

phone the curry for you, have you enough to cover your half?!

Forgot to ask if you can see the shineyness from my new computer in my posts :)

Tweaks - I'd give you some cash if I was closer. Order yours and then when he reutrn look confused and say you assumed he wasn't hungry.

Dizz - I will work on Rew but he is having kittens about the girls and I travelling 8 hours on our own and it is his manic time at work so he can't come. The girls clothes are yours so she needs to ask you for the ones you want to give her not assume they are hers!

i can't believe that they're being so insensitive

how do you feel about doing something special on the 23rd, involving your brother, dad and anyone else who's at yours? not sure what though... it doesn't seem right that they don't even realise the significance of the date of their visit. yes it'll be a very sad time but why should you have to hide it from them?

nope, def haven't got enough cash... decision made, i'm going to stick something in the oven. it'll have to be curry tomorrow!

Oops - I've had to turn you down - you're too bright

Tweakers - I don't want to share it with any of them. DH and I will mark it somehow and even if it is a few days after when they're gone G won't be forgotten here.

can you not pay by card over the phone?

Dizzy - you know he won't be forgotten here either. He will always be part of us too.

thanks oops :-)

someone has just contacted me by email re gluten free stuff - am going to have to extend my range

With the gluten free stuff I always gave them a plain sugar syrup soak to stop them being dry which is alway the problem I had with GF cakes.

a plain sugar soak?

the hummingbird ones work very well as you can just add a little more pineapple juice to them

I just prick them a little with a pin and brush them with sugar syrup leave it to soak in and re brush 3 or 4 times. Makes GF choccie cake much yummier.

Oops - have just found this icedgembakes

GF brownies by post!!!

I've got all the stuff home to try them out so that I can add them to the range - I'm just trying to track down wholesale G/F chocolate/cocoa

Will do some searching for you.

the cocoa should be fine and the G&B dark chocolate is gluten free - I just need g/f choc chips - ah rock n roll in the house of dixie on a Sat night

Check you out recipe of the week Oops!!! Is there no end to your talents?!

have FB'd you some who do gf chocolate chips and cocoa powder in bulk.

I just noticed that - first white choc and raspberry muffins now plum tart, twice in a year they must be running short of recipes!

Is this the Dizzy and Oops show?

hello, i'm back, can i join in on the oops/dizzy show?

neighbour left, dh came in from shed, apologised and told me he loves me. and he then joined me in eating chicken kiev with chips and peas [glamorous meal emoticon] we're all friends again

hmm, dizz, i do understand you wanting to do something on your own for G. Oops is right, he'll never be forgotten here

i've just finished a fair sized vat of ice cream off! DH saw that the pot was out of the freezer, so got up to put it away... i mentioned that he might want to check what he was putting away before going to the effort of finding space in the freezer for it the pot contained my orange peel!!
but that doesn't mean a slab of cake wouldn't go down well

oooh, well done oops! have you entered your brownie recipe?

ooh and two things i keep forgetting to share with you all...

has anyone tried the new bookmarking thing on here? you need to be on mumsnet new view thing but its worth it (i swapped esp to try the bookmark)

and also, Pea has got a really chubby little face now! she looks like a little hamster!

New View?
Bookmarking?

How does one get this new view????

Okay I've figured out how to get the "new view". Still searching for the bookmarking feature.

And NOW I have bookmarking ability. Hmmm...

I will be bookmarking this spot.

Well now I have to learn how to make the bookmark USEFUL!

I have just spent the last however much time since my last post saving all the ante-natal threads to my hard drive. Now I can't get the blasted .xps files to open. I should quit, right?

Morning

Its dd1 surprise party today, i cannot believe i have managed not to tell her ..

cm is going to be there as she is bringing one of dd1's friends and i truly don't know what i to say to her.. think i need to find out what the conversation was between her and sil to figure out who has been scheming!!
