Belfie - DH's mother and sister are complete nut cases. That's probably the nicest thing that I could say about them. His father is absolutely lovely (probably the reason that the two of them are now divorced) but we don't get to see him anywhere near as much as either one of us would like.

Also WOOHOOO at the feeling fine! Although I have to say tsk tsk about you mentioning the KFC chips....now you've started me craving them....and there is a shop just down the road from work. It is going to take some serious will power now not to detour through there on my daily fruit run to the supermarket!

Kirsten - I think what they actually said was "Pumkin cake??!! Are you kidding me. You made a pumpkin birthday cake. What a load of C#$P. You don't actually expect us to like this do you" (insert the om nom nom eating sounds of the two of them stuffing their faces with my pumpkin cake here) "this is the most gross and disgustingly horribly birhday cake we've ever had" (insert more om nom nom eating sounds here followed by more insults I couldn't understand because they had too much cake stuffed in their mouths while saying them to hear clearly)

You keep making my mouth wate with all this talk of ice cream! I SO NEED to buy a thermomix!
