Hi all. Thought I'd post a little update, seeing as so many of you lovely people sent your best wishes, and asked me to keep you informed... I visited little sis in hospital today, after she had her...
Ok. So, everyone knows that my little sis aint very well, and they also know that I'm loving "The Steps" right now. Was just wondering.. would you let yourself go, for such a cause? I've...
Well, it doesn't rain, it pours... I was offered a job recently, and had a letter from them (stating hours, salary, etc) which I accepted, so I handed in my notice to my then employers. I've just been...

It's left me with a massive grin :-)

Just a quickie.. Whilst reading the ingredients on a can of Baked Beans, I notice it contains "modified maize". Could somebody please explain to me, why maize would need to be modified, as I...
I think I may need to get a life, and start getting out more. Thing is, I don't really enjoy it much any more. Is it sad that I prefer to get the kids to bed, get the PJ's on, and cosy up for the...

Hi, gotta be quick... Parents are coming round at six, for dinner. Had the stuff in to make a beef casserole, put it in the oven at about 4.30. Recipe says I need to cook it for 2 and a half hours......
Right. This is not for me, but I was just speaking with my sister and she's all confused, so I said I'd try and find out for her. As I've mentioned, she ha the dreaded "C". She is due to...
