OMG, anything I can bring down on Sunday to help - I can do anything seriously (apart from medicate obs..)
I can come earlier if needs, maybe BFF needs loads of TLC. you do that and I can cook and clean etc - no problem whatever if needs.
Hope BFF is up for Sunday as so looking forwards to it - cant help tomorrow as youngest sons 18th and evening meal..
but can be there early Sunday if needs

Luv n Hugz

HELP I need CAKE (starving)

JudiBlueEyes · September 15, 2018, 11:35:32 AM

mmmmm I don't need to be starving to need CAKE!

davina61 · September 15, 2018, 04:23:08 PM

True but went and got a pack of doughnuts, only ate 2!!! and left the rest for the lads at work. typing careful as nails still drying . Hope I don't wreck them cooking tomorrow.

LizK · September 15, 2018, 05:53:52 PM

Hi Davina

Busy Busy busy....just thinking about your comment and the nails drying...you should try this ...basin full of ice and water about 50 50 then plunge your freshly painted nail into them and voilà!! Dry nails...they might me a little soft but the surface will be dry. Let your hands dry naturally or wipe carefully with a towel so you don't crease the freshly painted nail.

Take care

Its a gel one from a German supermarket, dries real quick even with 2 coats at once. Its a nice plum shade. Made the dough for breads and waiting for it to rise, nearly forgot to empty bin as its a bit stinky!!!!! Photos later(no not the bin)

davina61 · September 16, 2018, 11:03:27 AM

Visitor has left as she had to rush back (shame) , photos will be on Katie's post. Another one that has taken the tandoori mushroom recipe !!! well it is rather special . Salmon came out good, you can taste the fish and then the spices kick in with a warming after taste. Have a load of rice and lentil pilaf to eat now , pass the mango chutney!!

Katie Jade · September 16, 2018, 04:13:10 PM

Lovely afternoon with Davina who is so sweet. Her cooking is really good and I do like her following traditional recipes rather than western stuff, makes a really pleasant change.
More gossip on my page - and pics, dear Davina was so engrossed in being a perfect hostess she didn't take any, and mine as usual are sparse but cover the important bits (food,, and smiles

)
Luv n Hugz

Dear "Chef" Davina:
I have already been on Katie's thread and I viewed the fantastic photos and read her account of the visit and tasty meal at your home.

All of that was so very wonderful for me to read and to see...
... both of you ladies looked absolutely beautiful and your day sounded like a terrific and enjoyable event.

Thank you for keeping your thread up to date...
I come here to read what you post whenever I login to the Forums.

Hugs and well wishes,
Danielle

Danielle I do lurk on your exciting adventures . Was a good day , ending up at BFF's as she needed some moral support (again) . Helping her fix a fence today, weather is a bit damp and windy though. She was practicing a new song for band rehearsals tonight , Cell block no9

I did make a post on Katies thread but I wanted to also say I thought the food looked great and from the review it was just as good as it looked. Great photo's, coupel of regular Gals have some great food along with a good time. I think Danielle had it right when she named you "Chef"...your food always looks and sounds so great.

Take care

Get it wrong sometimes!!! but as they told me when I started work " the person that never makes a mistake never made anything". On hols this week , had to rush to work as forgot to hand in managers keys. That was due to being dumped with stuff to do after the tech left early on Sat AGAIN . Made me late doing BFF's fence , started at 1 and finished 5.30 ish but its tidy and dog proof and she cooked me tea. Ache all over though as not used to swinging a sled hammer.

Dear Davina:
Oh, yes indeed, the trials and tribulations of everyday life. I trust that you enjoyed your tea, get home and rub in some lotions, take a hot shower, use a heating pad or ice, eat some chocolate, go to bed early and get a good sleep.

tomorrow "may" be a better day.
I will be looking for more of your updates.
Wishing you well,
Hugs,
Danielle

Chunk of Indian pud!!!!! Woke up to go for a wee 3.30 and was just about to get back in bed and fire alarm went off so threw on dressing gown and hair . Good job it was mild and dry as all the tenants gathered in car park, the alarm said flat6 was the trigger but banging on the door did not get a response. One of the tenants called fire service as not sure if alarm is linked, station is 100yards away but manned (personed?) by on call. They ended up breaking down the door to no6 , the lad was rescued from a flat full of smoke . Looks like he fell asleep and left a frying pan on the stove . No I didn't have to be carried out by a hunky fireman!!!!! Still we had a nice residents meet, first time we were all together.
Servicing my car today, busman's holiday

Wow that was a close call for the lad, and the residents as well. I wouldn't like to have to navigate those stairs to your flat in a hurry... especially in heels...

Oh dear! I live in an apartment too. That would be so bad to wakeup to. We had a similar incident in my building. One of the older ladies left her toaster oven on with 4 pieces of toast in it. It filled the hole first floor with stinky smoke. I wasn't home at the time. It took a week to get the smell out of the building.
