    My mum has her mother in laws china that comes out for very special occassions. I must mention that I want it, doubt my sister will put up much of a fight anyway, she's not into things like that whereas I'm a bit of a sentimental oul fool. :)

    I am the only girl in my family and so I am getting my mother's mother's wedding china, my step-mother's wedding china, my step-mother's grandmother's wedding china, and my step-mother already gave me her old china.

    All of these are full 12 piece settings with platters, wine glasses, tea cups and the whole kit. I am grateful but I am trying to figure out where on earth I am going to put it all!

    Urgh! I have zero tolerance for passive aggressive bollocks and I just had a whole heap thrown at me.

    I'm not really sure how to describe it, they just feel too heavy on the tummy sort of.. They tasted like dark chocolate.

    Is plain chocolate not the same as dark chocolate? I use a big bar of galaxy chocolate chopped into chunky bits and lashed into the dough... nom nom nom :D

    I think I might make some this weekend and dye them green for Paddy's Day :)

    Yeah, could never get through the 1st chapter of the book! It's the one with Fassbender, 2011 just looking at imdb Judi Dench is Mrs. Fairfax didn't realise that till I read it.

    Wondering how the galaxy caramel would work? Chopped in two maybe?

    I havn't tried it myself but I'd say that would probably be the way to go. Cut each piece in half or maybe thirds.. I just use the regular galaxy milk choc :)

    I thought so too but thinking about it, the choc chips I got last time were lighter in colour and weren't as rich tasting. Might give your galaxy idea a go, I think the bf likes that chocolate. Experiments are imminent. :p

    I'm making buns for Paddy's Day with green white and also orange icing. Might actually do more experiments with the icing and see if I can make purple just for the sake of it and because I feckin' love purple! :D

    Plain chocolate is dark chocolate, but it's not very dark, just darker than milk, so it's plain :) Experimenting with cadbury's etc can go well and it can go horribly wrong so just be careful, eating chocolate isn't made to be heated.

    Just got through some emails that were hanging over my head for days, can relax a bit, yay. Booking hotel for the Coronas next weekend, woohoo!!

    My mum got two antique sets of china as wedding present. My cow of an aunt in law managed to break a cup from each set. Coincidence? I think not, the jealous mare!

    Jesus Christ. May they be forever plagued by an itchy crotch in public, the knackbags.

    Had a good cry after my daughter left today. She just drops home to change her clothes and then leaves to go back with her boyfriend, whom she is now sharing his family home with her. His mum also lives there and they have taken to her like a duck to water. She is loved by them, and I am not surprised as she is such a beautiful caring young woman. But I miss the chats, although she says she loves me, she has no time to chat and I do not know when she will be back home to change her clothes and leave again. She took some things with her this time round. She is coming down with the flu, and not feeling great, she said that her boyfriend is looking after her, she told me what he did for her, giving her hot drinks, plenty of tissues and warm blankets etc and it is the exact thing I would do for her too. Me and her have always been close and we have great understanding, but I do miss her. I miss the late night chats and the laughs, and hugs. She is my one and only. She is on her way to making her own life and I am pleased about that, but we hardly talk, she doesn't have the time to stop by for a while, just clothes and go, So when she left, I had a good cry. It is a mom thing and I cannot help it.

    That is what made me cry today.

    Massive hugs merlie, I know there's nothing I can say to make you feel better but just mind yourself today and do something nice for yourself. Even a nice coffee and an hour spent reading a book helps cheer me up I find.

    Aw merlie, you poor thing. Reading that I was just thinking of when I was leaving home where I had lived with just my mom. In my head I was *finally* getting independence, finally doing exciting stuff, being a grown up, but being a teenager/young adult I never considered my mom's side of it, which was exactly the same as you. It's almost upsetting to see they can do so well without you! Which obviously everyone wants their kids to do eventually, it just takes getting used to, especially when it was just the two of you.
