Apologies for not having posted for a week, but I have had a small, yet perfectly formed virus with which to contend :-( I've been running a fever, I ache, and I itch all over (how bizarre is that symptom?) and my get up and go got up and went. Without permission. If anyone spots it lurking in the shrubbery, or having a quick ciggie behind some bike sheds, could you please deliver a stern rebuke and send it home immediately? Ta. Until it's back my blog posting, reading and commenting is going to suffer.
Anyway, on with the monthly 'doings'...
●●●●●●
Some of you may remember seeing the button for Jennyflower's Mug Swap sitting in my sidebar for a good few weeks. This was a fun swap to do - send a nice mug to someone, and include some crafty bits, along with a handmade item. Unlike many swaps, we did not have a partner with whom we exchanged - instead we all sent to a different person. I received my parcel last week, and was puzzled as to what it could be - I wasn't expecting anything from the beautiful island of Crete?! It turned out that Jude of Cariad in Crete was the person who was sending a parcel to me, and what a lovely parcel it was:
Jude sent a handmade mug in my most favourite shades of teal, turqoise and aqua. She also sent a hand knitted scarf in a pretty pattern, in the same sea shades. She sent some chocolate, and she sent two of the most beautiful (and big!) buttons you ever saw:
Thank you so much Jude - x - it was a pleasure to receive such a lovely parcel, and to discover your blog. The person to whom I sent my parcel was Terri at Purple & Paisley. I rather overdosed on the colour purple, but that was ok with Terri - she's purple-mad! A very big thank you to Jenny - x - for hosting this swap, it was really good. Through it I have discovered two fabulous new (to me) blogs, and that's always a good thing isn't it?

A funny thing happened to me the other day. You see these earrings?:
Pretty, aren't they? Just plain abalone dropper earrings, nothing out of the ordinary. However, one of them is clearly an earring with attitude! I was wearing them that day, and happened to be cleaning the loos - not because the loos specifically needed cleaning (if you get my drift) but because ... well, just because. Anyway, there I was bent over the porcelain throne, and I heard a *plop*. What on earth was that? I wondered. When I looked, I saw one of my earrings in the loo :-O It had slipped out of my ear and tried to make a break for it! I'm afraid I was too quick for it: I fished it out, washed it in antibacterial soap, gave it a rinse and a polish and popped it back in my ear. (I should add that the loo had been cleaned before the earring dive).
When I mentioned this episode to a friend, she confided that she'd dropped a pair of sunglasses the same way - they were perched on top of her head, she bent over to clean the loo and *plop*. I bet they made a bigger splash than my earring too. Have you, dear reader, ever lost anything down the loo?
●●●●●●
I'm going to have a mini rant here now: you have been warned. Because of No.1's interest in music, which I applaud and encourage (because I love it too) I listen to quite a lot of chart music. If she weren't the girl she is, there is no doubt I wouldn't listen to a lot of this stuff, but some of it is really ok. Some of it, however, isn't. This last couple of months I have had a major problem every time I hear 'Take Me Back' by Tinchy Stryder featuring Taio Cruz. Why? I hear you ask. Because of the lyrics, that's why - here are some of them:
How you put females on a hot boy stylie
Like I’m the one try me
There’s me thinking I’m moving slyly
Your friend was out there with both eyes on me
Now I feel wrong coz you caught me
I can make it up to you trust me
If ya said no I would deal with that
I’m hoping you’d take me back, please
I’m sorry I misleaded you pretty lady
I’m sorry I mistreated you pretty lady
I’m sorry that I hurt you pretty lady
And all I need to know is
Can you take me back (x8)
(There’s one thing I need to know)
Coz I can’t live without you (oh oh oh oh)
Girl I can’t live without ya (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Did you spot it? It drives me NUTS every time I hear the darned song. Mr Stryder and Mr Cruz - I know you have a song to write, and you want it to scan, but there is no such word as 'misleaded'. The word is 'misled'!
The fact that this bothers me means I'm really getting old, doesn't it? :-(
●●●●●●
Do you remember the Monkey I made for Mrs Trash's wonderful raffle for the Bushfire folks in Oz?:
She was won by Christine of Auntie's Quaint Quilts, who, quite fittingly, lives in Oz herself. Christine ran a giveaway asking for suggestions of names for the monkey, with the end result that Miss Bushfire is now named Miss Matilda May Monkey - a pretty name for a pretty primate. Well done on winning her Christine - I just hope she behaves herself!

I'll leave you with a bit of dessert, made recently. Would anyone like a bowl of lemon pudding?
EDITED TO ADD THE RECIPE FOR THE LEMON PUDDING!:
- Grease an ovenproof dish
- Grated rind, and the juice of 1 Lemon
- 50g (2oz) Butter/Marg
- 100g (4oz) Caster Sugar
- 2 Eggs, separated
- 50g (2oz) Self Raising Flour
- 300ml (½ pint) fresh milk
- Add lemon rind to butter and sugar and whisk until pale and fluffy.
- Add egg yolks and flour and beat well.
- Stir in milk and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice (I usually whack it all in!)
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until stiff, then fold into lemon mixture.
- Pour into the greased, ovenproof dish.
- Stand in a bain marie (a shallow tin of water) and bake at 200°C (400°F, Gas Mark 6) (Lower temperature for a fan oven) for about 35-45 minutes, or until the top is set and spongey to the touch.
The pudding will have separated into a lemon sponge on top and a lemon custard underneath.
Enjoy!
Help yourself to cream or ice cream - whichever is your preference - to accompany the pud. Or both, if you feel like it ... what the hell, it's only a few more calories. I think I'm going to have to do something about calorie intake soon, as it appears I am a growing girl, and I shouldn't be still growing at my age, should I?

Well I have done the rounds here and I can't find your get up and go anywhere.....will continue to look just incase it hopped aboard a plane and is now enjoy the aussie Autumn weather.......
mmmmmmm lubberly goodies from your swap..how exciting to get something from Crete???mmmm maybe thats where your get up & go has gone?????
ROFL on the loo job!!mmmm one of mine dropped the phone in the loo and it wasn't after it had been cleaned.if you follow me.....;)ewwwwwwwwwwww
Misleaded..oh my.......some people eh???
aussie hugs
Although I spotted 'misleaded' I was having more issues with the lyric where he was
"... thinking I’m moving slyly
Your friend was out there with both eyes on me
Now I feel wrong coz you caught me ...
He feels 'wrong coz you caught me'?!?!? There was no inkling of shame or doubt about his actions before then??? I think I can let a little grammatical digression pass but this? Nope. Why I would ban the song! Burn the singer!! Stomp on the radio that plays the tune!!! Or something ;-)
I believe he deceived her rather than misled her. It was done with intent and the man is a bounder.
Yum looks delicious too !What drives me mad is when so called educated people say anythink instead of anything . I wish they would just say nothing !
clares craftroom
Can I eat lemon pud for breakfast? Looks yummy.
I'm so sorry you are poorly again. The itching sounds horrible. Have you checked that you're not suddenly alergic to something? If I see your get up and go, I'm going to give it a severe telling off and blog it back to you with it's tail between its legs!
Hugs to you, get well soon.
Burby x
You have been busy as usual! I am glad the earing survived, they are nice.
Nice pudding:)
Sorry you have something nasty....is isn't nice is it?
Nice mug too.....I shy away from swaps as I fear something horrible arriving....
Lots of lovely stuff to read as always... I like your round ups! Sorry you've not been feeling well. Hope You're better soon.
Kitty, the fact they made up their own conjugation of a verb is nuttin' compared to the video. It scares me what our children are subjected to. My 7 year old and I were watching a kids award show and the pussy cat dolls came on and danced up a sexy number for us....when I remarked that this isn't for kids my grandson said of course it is they're pretty.
I hope you're feeling better. I haven't seen your get up and go ... I hope it got up and went back to you. As usual - a very nice post chock full of too much for me to comment on...but it's all good stuff here. I laughed about the earring trying to escape. I haven't dropped anything in while cleaning but my kids have flushed some doozies down there on purpose. Once, a toy boat forced us to replace the whole john. It was lodged in there and even a drill snake couldn't penetrate it.
Back to you-- I love your round ups. xox
Hope your get up and go returns soon, Kitty! I'll keep my eyes open for it!
Thanks for reminding me about fishing things out of the toilet - I had to fish a comb out of our loo in Saturday - think it was Iona who dropped it in there - but I wan't too chuffed with the (male) person who wee'd on it after and left it all for me to clean up!
Lemon pud looks gorgeous - I'll just help myself!
And I'm with trashy on the song lyrics!
hope you are well on the way to recovery now! i did once drop a bracelet down the loo and promptly grabbed it back out again - gave it a good clean and still wear it - much to my daughter's disgust!
those lyrics are nowhere near as bad as some - a few years ago they would never have played some of the tunes they do today! now i sound like my mum!
Lovely to catch up with your week Miss Kitty...what a week, its so yuk when your poorly. But cleaning loos... man you must be a tad mad!!! OK what have I lost down the loo, except for the burial of the goldfish??? a ring, glasses and makeup, yes its a regular thing in this house.... look after yourself....
Get well soon Kitty, hope you found where your get up and go got up and went! You seem to have been busy all the same! A little award awaits you at my place today. x
On hoiliday once I dropped teh hotel room keys down the loo and then flushed at the same time, blocking the entire system!
Oh and I'll have a small heping of pudding with extra cream please, even thought I am up to my eyeballs in lemons!
What haven't I dropped in the toilet is a better question. Combs, Brushes, a whole roll of toilet paper one time, deodorant, assorted jewelry, cell phone, lipstick and other bits of makeup, perfume, lotion bottles. Apparently I am not graceful and I do not have suction cups on my hands. For if I did, I doubt I would drop as much. We have also found the occasional disgraced and embarrassed kitty kat in the toilet and small children thinking it was their personal swimming pool.
Honestly I don't know what I am doing wrong here. It must be my obsession with a clean bathroom. The rest of the house can be falling apart or to hell and back, but the bathroom MUST be spotless. I am funny like that.
Oh! I have next year's theme for our auction, (In November) if you are up to another interesting monkey challenge. "Lights! Camera! Auction" (Auction instead of action.) Supposed to be a red carpet, Hollywood theme with paparazzi, glamour like at the Oscars, the works. So think on it, see what ideas comes to mind.
I am trying to think of a jewelry design myself.
P.S. what is lemon pudding, I love lemons and that looks lovely. Come on, give it up....how is it made?
My cell phone went flying into the toilet one day when I was fixing to take a bath. I tossed the phone into the bathroom since my arm was in a sling and I wanted my phone near by in case I got injured in the bathtub and needed to call somebody. Throwing your cell phone into the toilet destroys a relaxing moment for sure. It was out of commission for a few days.
Lemmon pudding sounds delightful
Lovely blog as always! I think maybe your get up and go is on a beach somewhere relaxing and reading a good book! It'll come back when it's batteries have been recharged.
I'll have cream with my pudding ta. (is it the kind which is all saucy underneath?)
Sorry you've been feeling poorly - that lemon pudding should help make you better - but hurry up - only just over a week til the bloggy picnic! You've got to be better for that!
Lucy x
So sorry you're under the weather, Kitty! Hope you will be well and on the mend soon! :o) That lemon pudding will help, I'm sure ;o) Such beautiful treats from Jude...so many beauties! Funny sorry about the earring though! I lost a small diamond-stud earring down the loo one. I was taking if off and not paying attention...and ploop...down it went! Luckily it was salvagable! I no longer put on or take off jewelry in the lavorty any more--LOL! Happy Days ((HUGS))
That pudding looks amazing X
great mug swap - I love Crete - perhaps we could do a bloggers swap where we post ourselves off to different bloggers ??

Hope you are feeling better....that pudding looks gorgeous! xxx
Hi Blossom - Well where the hell has it got to? It sure as hell isn't here! I'm going to give it 'what for' when I get my hands on it! Oh dear regarding your phone :-O Erm ... did you disinfect it? x
Hi Trash - Well yes, I'm with you on both issues, but when it's playing in the car, it's the damned grammar which irks me every time. Are you a distant Aussie relation of Mary Whitehouse? x
Hi there Mr B - nice to see you. A bounder, eh? Are you an authority on bounders? ;-) x
Hi Clare - Anythink, and nuthink - just as bad as each other, aren't they? x
Hi Burby - Oh yes, lemon pud is definitely allowed for breakfast. It's probably one of your 5-a-day! I now have a nice rash to go with the itching - if it hasn't gone by Weds, might see a doctor. Who knows ... depends how I'm feeling. x
Hi Lin - Thank you, yes I do like those earrings - will have to put some of those plastic 'stoppers' on the back I think! x
Hi Gigi - Ta. No, it's not nice and I wish it would go. Now. If not sooner. Oooh, you should do some swaps - I've had some hugely wonderful 'stuff' from swapees! x
Hi Gina - Thank you for liking my round ups. That makes me feel ok about yabbering on. A lot. The itching is not nice - I'd like it to go away, but I am better than I was already, thank you. x
Hi Elaine - I think quite a bit of it goes over the heads of the kids, to be honest. They just like a nice tune, don't they? I feel like such an old prune for getting so wound up about some grammar! I'm pleased to say we've never had the toy boat down the loo scenario ... so far! :-O x
Hi Tintock - I don't know where it's gone. Pesky thing - I could do with it, too! I bet the male who wee'd on the comb used it as target practice ;-) x
Hi WW - I'm feeling better thank you, but still itchy. Oh good for you on the bracelet - the loo isn't the place for nice jewellery. x
Hello Suzie - lovely to see you.Oh my word, you are loo-losing specialist! The perils of having sons, eh? x
Hi 1,2,3 - Thank you, but that dratted get up and go is still not back. It's SO going to be grounded when I get hold of it. Thank you for the award - that was kind. I'm happy to read you're feeling a little brighter. Take care. x
Hi Charlie - Ah ... that wasn't the best move to make, was it? What did they do about the blocked system? Small helping of pudding ... what's that? You'll have a large dollop madam! x
Hi MI ... oh wow. You are a real world class champion at throwing stuff down the toilet! :-O Thanks for letting me know the next 'theme' ... erm, what the hell can I do with a monkey for that?! I will email you the lemon pudding recipe, ok? It is really easy, and really yummy. x
Hi Trish - It seems as though plenty of people have dropped their cell/mobile phone down the toilet - I know someone who did that too - fell out of her back pocket, straight down there. I'm amazed they work again after that. x
Hi Andrea - Thank you. That darned get up and go still isn't back. I'm going to punish it when it gets here ;-) Yes, the pudding is one with a saucy undercarriage ... you might have know with me, eh? ;-) x
Hi Lucy - I know! I need to be better! Actually, I'm much better than I was, but still 'off' if you know what I mean? x
Hi Tracy - Thank you for your good wishes. Yes, the things from Jude were really gorgeous. I'm a very lucky blogger. Gosh, losing a diamond down the loo is SO classy! x
Hi Sara - Thank you - it's so easy to make, but very tasty. I've never been to Crete, but Jude's blog photos make it look amazing. That's a great idea of a swap you've got there - will you be hosting it?! x
Hi Alex - Thank you! x
I dropped a cell phone in the toilet once. Not when I was cleaning it. That was the end of that phone.
I dropped a cell phone in the toilet once. Not when I was cleaning it. That was the end of that phone.
The earrings are beautiful! I love that colour. xx
hope you are feeling better ? When I worked at T-Mob lots of people used to call as they'd dropped their phone down the loo, people used to call us whilst on the loo too !!!! Gotta go check out your blog from Crete .. and how can you post a pic of a gorgeous lemon pud without pointing us in a recipe direction tut tut :-)
Lisa x
I'm assuming you have a zimmer frame and stannah stairlift on order? Hmmm?!
I was appalled recently whilst driving into my sleepy local village. There BESIDE A SCHOOL CROSSING WITH A LOLLIPOP MAN AND TEEN-TINY CHILDREN was an advert for the Horne and Corden film "Lesbian Vampire Killers"
3 words you don't want to have to explain to people under the age of 10 all in one space glaring back out at me.
When I ranted at my step-mum about it, all she could point out was I must be getting old.
*humph*
So if I'm getting old, you must be too.
xx
PS - did the itching start AFTER the earring/loo episode....?
I'd love some lemon pudding please! I hope you feel better soon too
: )
Hi Kitty, So sorry to hear that you've been unwell....hope it passes soon.
Wow that lemon pudding looks ab fab!! Could just scoff some :)
Toilet drop: yes a button from my favourite coat!! Fished that out too :)
xx
Oooh, that pudding looks yummy, but I sure feel your growing girth pain. I must soon do something about it too -- summer's coming!
Hope you're soon feeling better , we're all germy too :( I once dropped my handbag down a pub loo -totally gross, I was VERY drunk and it was a little clutch bag - twas the 80s when I used to do things like that (ie get VERY drunk and carry small clutch bags) - urgh!!!
lovely swap parcel, love the scarf and I'll have my pud with custard please.
twiggy x
Hi SS - Oh dear :-( How frustrating. x
Hi Elise - Thank you. I love those colours - I wear those earrings quite a lot. x
Hi Peri - I'm getting there, thanks. I have edited this post to add the recipe for the pudding - sorry! x
Hi Jelly! Oh of course I have, and a walking stick tucked behind the tartan trolley on wheels just behind the front door :-p The itching started WAY after the earring/loo episode! x
Hi Picciolo - Help yourself! And I'm starting to feel better now, thanks. x
Hi Baggy - Thank you. I've added the recipe now, so you can make yourself a lemon pud - they're so easy and always yummy. LOL at you and the button - good for you! x
Hi Anna - I've got to stop eating I think. Or at least stop eating shortbread biscuits and white chocolate, anyway *blush* x
Hmmm I am sure I have dropped many a thing down the toilet but for the life of me I can't remember what! I must be getting old too - can't remember much past a couple of hours ago.
Yep I'll have lemon pudding with cream and ice cream please! Stuff dieting, it's been a hard week. Your get up and go is probably mia with mine.
I dropped a seriously valuable Raymond Weil watch down the loo. (I9had bought it with a tax return in 1978 it was £100 then an amazing amount of money.)I had to spend £60 to get it fixed(this was at least 20 years ago) then I put it in a pot on the bathroom windowsill to keep it safe while I had a bath and forgot all about it until after my sons had used the pot for water play and put it back on the windowsill and not said anything.It had a real crocodile strap which I didn't really approve of but which turned to jelly having been standing in soapy water for a few weeks. Another £40 to get it fixed again.. My current watch that I use all the time was £8 from tesco. The raymond weil one is in a drawer ..safe.
I hope you are feeling better Kitty!!!
Many years ago when our children were still cute and kissable one of them threw a small ball into the toilet just as I was flushing it which caused it to get stuck and unreachable. We had to take the whole toilet off to fix it and retrieve the plastic ball!!!
Let's see red carpet...why Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt! With a load of little monkeys of every color. Hmmmmmm, that sounds impossible. AS they are.
Well endowed Monkey in an evening gown accepting an oscar?
Hey it could be worse, I grew up listening to Gangsta Rap.
Welcome back, was beginning to worry about you. Hope whatever the spotty thing is goes away soon.
Your get up and go may be hanging out somewhere with mine which has been conspicuous by its absence for the past couple of weeks. Hopefully they will come home soon fully recharged - I certainly hope so 'cos I've a lot of things to make and NOTHING is happening ;-(
Things down our loo tended towards the dinky car spectrum when the boys were that age but nothing since that I can remember - which isn't saying a lot!
Your lemon pudding looks interesting, we have a friend coming to stay this w/e so may make one, DH will enjoy it that's for sure.
I can understand your problems with that song!!! Thankfully we listen to the Wiggles, Hi 5, Playschool, and nursery rhymes. Suits me!! Maybe our radio and cd player will be "broken" when the kids are older! I love music... but there are some types I just can't listen to! Glad that Matilda is loving her new Aussie home!!
Ohhh.... I forgot to add.... Lemon Pudding... (or Lemon Delicious as my mum calls it!) is my FAVOURITE dessert. Mum used to make it for me every birthday!! Yummo!!
Hiya Twiggy - hope you and your lot feel much better soon. Germs are pants, aren't they? LOL at you and the handbag - I can honestly say I've never dropped a whole handbag down the loo - mind you, my handbag is like a bluddy suitcase, so I guess that's why! x
Hi Natasha - If you find those get ups and goes, please send mine back. I need it! x
Hi Jackie - Trust you to lose something so classy down the loo. It's a lovely story though - glad you keep the watch safe now though! x
Hi ATP - I'm on the mend now, thank you. Oh gosh, a ball clogging up your pipeage? That's not good. So glad my two - so far! - have done nothing like that. x
Hi MI - Erm, ok. I'm going to need to think about this! Hope you saw the recipe for the lemon pudding? x
Hi Malach - No.2's teacher loves gangsta rap - plays them snippets of it in class :-O x
Hi Sharon - Awww, bless you. I now have spots to go with the itching - I've been slapping loads of tea tree oil on them, and think they are slowly becoming less 'angry'. My get up and go is still AWOL - I'm not happy with it! Let me know how the lemon pudding goes! x
Hi FC - I remember The Wiggles. Hilarious! Well, I don't think they were supposed to be hilarious, but they always made me laugh. You just wait until they're older ... just wait! 'Lemon Delicious' is a great name for the pudding ... it's so simple but tasty. I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. x
Hope you're feeling much better now though I see you have spots too, so perhaps best to stay at home and eat lemon pudding as a restorative.
I once dropped a small gold bunny pendant down the loo, but my sister has the top story - her toddler (now a strapping 12 year old) was playing with his favourite car on the loo before bed - he'd been told not to, but you know what 3 year olds are like. Well, the inevitable happened, and let's just say that the toilet was *not* clean. Rubber glove and dettol time ... History doesn't relate whether the car was returned to the owner or binned, but they didn't want to have to explain it all to the plumber!
Lovely swap, very pretty colours. I must try out your lemon pudding recipe looks delicious.
Hope you feel better soon.
Yvonne x
Aww cariad bach, sorry to hear you had a virus. But hope you are now better.
I never get the cooking for therapy bit. I only cook because the children are hungry!
I am not a proper mother!! I can't make things either. Oh dear!
i can think of nothing that i have dropped down the loo but there is still time.....
as for your remedy for chillblains - so much nicer than the advice i had of placing your feet in your own pee.. i have refused on the grounds that my most troublesome chillblain is on my nose!
hope you are feeling chipper again

I am salivating over the lemon pudding!
I once flushed a set of contact lenses down the toilet. I'd been sick with a horrible head cold. During one particular night, a large pile of used tissues accumulated on my nightstand. The next morning, I scooped them all up in my hands, trying to gather them with as minimal 'touching' as possible, and took them straight to the toilet and gave them a flush.
Later that morning, when I went to put in my contacts, they were nowhere to be found. Then I remembered having taken them out in bed, feeling too badly to get up and go to the bathroom (something I'd never done before or since). Apparently, I scooped up the small, white plastic case along with the used tissues and flushed them as well. Arg! They weren't cheap to replace, either, as I have extremely poor vision, and my contacts have to be special ordered.
Now, I won't so much as 'blink' when flushing the toilet, for fear one may decide at that moment to pop out and take a swim. ;-Þ
My son once put my shoes in the loo! I had to fish those out, needed them!
Hope your malais has gone, & your get up & go has returned!
I used to make that lemon pudding for my guests in the hotel, & it was always a hit.
Ooo, I'm sorry you have a bug, this seems to be the week for bugs. Meanwhile the lemon pudding looks yummerific.
Hi DC - I'm on the mend, thank you. Yes, I have spots across my shoulder - very odd. It would seem we all have a 'toilet' story to tell - I'm so glad I'm not the only one. x
Hi Yvonne - I love all those teal/turquoisey colours - they combine my favourites of green and blue. I'm feeling more like 'me' now, thank you. x
Hi RB - I'm not right, but I'm getting there, thank you. I totally understand you on the cooking for food thing - but I do like baking. Don't know why, I just do. You so are a proper mother! x
Hello Tracy - lovely to see you. Plenty of time yet for you to drop all sorts of things down the loo - or for one of the animals to do it for you. Hope that pesky chillblain is soon better - they itch horribly, don't they? :-( x
Hi Renna and welcome to my bloggy bits. Oh my - expensive contact lenses are not a good thing to flush down the loo. I'm surprised they 'went' actually - you obviously had them well packed with the tissue. Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment. I'll be over to visit you soon. Take care :-)
Hi Meggie - Ah, little boys. What can you do with them? They are just 'programmed' to do stuff like that, aren't they? My malaise is still here, but a tad less 'strong' than before, thank you. x
Hi Dyan - There do seem to be a lot of germs around at the moment, but thankfully I seem to be on the mend. The lemon pudding is really lovely - light and tasty. x
If I see your get up and go I will surely send it your way...That lemon pudding looks so yummy thanks for sharing the recipe!
when I was little I used to go to my friends house (the one I am now with ;)) and his toilet always had money in it. His Dads pockets must have been full of change which made its escape when he went to the bathroom, so my friend and his sister always seemed to be fishing two pence pieces out of the bottom of the toilet (it had been flushed I hasten to add).
Love the monkey and am glad it went to a good home.
I love your swap goodies and that lemon pudding looks yum!
As a matter of fact, I have dropped my mobile phone down the toilet, twice! But I was under the influence of alcholol, Ossifer.
Yum Yum lemon pud.
yes! we cooked it tonight! it was delicious - firm on the top, delightfully lemony-syrupy-custardy underneath! Shark - 10/10; Tiger 10/10; Squirrel - 9/10. She's a hard marker. thank you for the recipe! x
Hi Amy - Yes, please send it back immediately! Give the lemon pudding a try - it always goes down well here. x
Hi Jennie - lovely to see you. So the toilet at his place was sort of like a little money mine? How cool is that? :-D x
Hi Lazylol - Was it ok after it had dried out? (Much like your good self ;-) ) x
Hi Grit - Oooh, how exciting. So pleased they liked it - did you like it too? Hmmmm, for what would Squirrel give a 10? I have a nice chocolate pudding recipe? x
Kitty,
I love hearing about your swaps, seems like its the way to go.
You have some cool things there.
Laters
Nicey
I'll take some of the pudding with ice cream please :) ummmm... are you going to bring it by my house or do I have to pick it up?
I absolutely LOVE the pink sock monkey. I emailed Christine and she told me she thought you might make them and sell them, is that true? If so, how can I order a few?

So glad you fished the earring out because they're lovely.
Will be giving your lemon pud a go, looks and sounds yummy.
Have a fab weekend!

Hi Nicey - Crafty swaps are good fun. It's always nice to get a parcel, right? x
Hi Ron - One large helping of pudding with ice cream, coming up. I don't do deliveries I'm afraid (I'm lazy like that :-p ) so you'll have to get up and get it yourself. x
Hi Peggy - I have emailed you, I hope you received it? Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Take care :-)
Hi Beki - I do like those earrings - simple but effective. Hope you and your family enjoy the lemon pud - it's a big favourite round here! x
Hope you're feeling better (I'm behind with blogland as usual!) Love the mug swap goodies - beautiful colours. And was the card a Klimt? I love Klimt!
Don't think I've ever lost anything down the loo, though Nipper did drop my mobile into a cup of tea. Needless to say it's never been the same since!
I think it does show our age, doesn't it :) Personally, though, my problem was less with misleaded (poetic license, scans better, etc) than with "how you put females on a hot boy stlie" - what the heck does THAT mean?
Great to meet you today, look forward to seeing you round the bloglands...
Hahaha, i lost my cell phone down the toilet....It was in my back pocket and as i pulled my jeans up it slipped out and into the unflushed toilet!!!!!! Thankfully a week later i acidentally left it on the roof of my car and it was squished so i had to get a new one!!!
Hi Tilly - I'm slowly getting there thanks. Yes the card was from a Klimt - like you, I think his work is fabulous. x
Hi Kate - I quite agree with you on the lyric content, but boy does that 'misleaded' irk me! It was great to meet you too - so glad I discovered both your blog and your work! x
Hi Jess - Oh dear! I'm sure you're not the first that that's happened to ... and won't be the last either. I don't leave my phone in my back pocket after the Carphone Warehouse man told me it was the quickest way to break a mobile phone! Hope things with you are all a-ok? x
