Charente I made Yorkshire parkin on Saturday, which is similar to gingerbread, all sweet and sugary and treacley, mmm! Going to warm some up for dessert tonight and serve it with warm butterscotch sauce that my sister made. Ooooh can't wait.

Charente What a difficult situation; so many pros, but a lot of cons as well. Yes, that is what family is all about, but you are still individuals and you need to be sure that you are compatible living together. It's not going to be the same now as it was when your...

Charente Wow, what an early bird, Christmas tree up already. It looks fab though! We shall probably get ours mid-December or so. I don't like to have it too early as we have a real one and no matter what we do or what kind we get, they always drop their needles and I...

How would you react if you all of a sudden come to know that your days are numbered ?

Charente I know how I'd like to react, and that's very positively and with a vow to live my last days to the full, if I was well enough to. In reality, I don't know. I think it is very difficult to say. It's the same with anything, you never can tell how you'll react...

Charente Hi, monalily, I joined this site a while back, but have not pursued any jobs. I did some checking and found that there is lot of talk about the site being unreliable, so I didn't bother. If you Google oDesk, you will find quite a bit of stuff there.

Do you prefer to add butter to your pan before cooking or adding one of those flavored oil sprays? For me it usually depends but I think it is quicker for me to spray the oil onto the pan.

Charente I sometimes use butter, it usually depends on what I'm cooking. I try to use olive oil as much as possible as this is much better healthwise.

Charente I love fresh coffee and hot chocolate but try not to drink them too much. I tend to have them as a treat. I usually drink hot water with a slice of lemon or peppermint tea.
