I made a fruitcake a few months ago for my dad, give it a go Digs. Lovely with a cup of tea.
I have tooken your advice after my first fruitcake disaster and stopped using my electric mixer to stir the currents.
Damn things were flying all over the kitchen.

I think I was mentally scarred at school tbh.
The year we all left, it was tradition that at Christmas all the girls would make a Christmas cake. They would take pride of place on Open Night...where the cakes would be put on display for all the parents to oooh and ahh over. Mine was a sorry mess, and it was placed behind the sign, out of view...rightly so really, it was a mess.
I was good at art though.

Queue jumpers...they really irritate.
So I am second in line to be served....a little old lady comes to be served and stands on the other side of the lady already being served. When the first woman was finished, the little lady looked at me, and I gestured for her to be served...cos I am polite. Just as she was taking her goods, a great big fat piece barged up and thrust her goods under the assistant's nose...as if I am bloody invisible.
Luckily the assistant was on the ball, ignored her, and served me....saving me the trouble of telling fat woman to find some manners.

That really annoys me. I call them out, in a loud voice. Everyone looks at them.

Good for you, Ignorant people really irritate me, Mags.
Another pet hate is when someone waltzes through a door without a second glance when you are holding it open for them....I usually say, "you are welcome" with a smile...half of them have the grace to look sheepish, the other half are too stupid to understand.

My Home Economics O Level exam was a disaster.
The paper part was fine but the baking bit was awful.
Not just for me but the whole class.
I don't know what happened, nerves I suppose.
I added an egg to my desert, even though it didn't need one, some girl burnt hers, my friend dropped hers and an other couple of girls started crying.

Rangers were playing the Scumbags Hibs at Ibrox yesterday.
They always painted "Lizzie is deid" on some seats.

I won't mention what my brother made with clay for his Art Higher.
Teacher said it was very good, so much detail, but sadly not something we could display!!
