aaaaah lovely... blissfully quiet... both boys asleep... Verity down the street somewhere playing with neighbours... can only hear birds One minute it was chaos... the next it's the "eye of the storm" ( <-- my term for midday when naps occur LOL).

No biccys in the house so making up a quick batch of shortbread... no castor sugar either (didn't do a shop on the weekend... doing it tonight)... using brown sugar instead... at least it's finer than the raw sugar we have... bit of an experiment... let's see what happens... I'm sure it will be edible!

IK: Well done having a stint away again! I hope Oscar is feeling better... you're right, the more sleep the better... your body heals and grows when it sleeps, but I'm sure you knew that. Hey have you read the thread on the MiEssence products Kelly has discovered? It's the same company that makes that In-Liven probiotic superfood Nic and I are taking.... well they make skincare/hair care products too that sound exactly what you need (no nasty chemicals) as I said, there's a thread here in BB about it and I'm about to place an online order for some myself (exfoliator/shampoo)... it's very well priced too.

Ok... going to decide what shape I'm going to cut these biccys... what would taste better? traditional petticoat or little rectangles like on the box of rice flour?.... or should I raid the play-dough container and clean the heart shaper cutter or even the whale shape (to remind me not to eat too many of them because I'll look like one if I do! LOL)
