I am always a cakey type of person, so may look for this recipe myself

 

[broadsbean]

well i made a ginger and lemon scan bran cake and a choc fudge one too

the ginger one is 10 syns or 4 if you use the scan ban as a hexb
the choc fudge is 12 syns or 6

teen won't touch scan bran cake feels it is an afront against cake but hubby likes it. so i have cut them into 6 pieces so it will be 1.5 and 2 respectively

feeling a bit blue this evening, a bit taken for granted
cos i have the day off hubby and teen have not lifted a finger, i cooked breakfast for mike and then made soup for lunch i have done all the dishes and housework and not even a thank you

should be used to it by now just sometimes it gets me down a little :sigh:

i have probably infected everything with the cold virus so i can cheer my self up with thoughts of that :sign0151::sign0151::sign0151:

 

[Roziee]

You should say something Mandy. They should say thank you. You're not a maid...((hugs))

I know exactly what you mean about feeling unappreciated - I work 37.5 hrs a week over normal working day mon-fri but also drive 10 hrs a week just getting to and from work, walk in the door to usually a mess, when 2 of my boys may have been off work all day and when asked why they haven't done anything they reply with - its my day off................!!!!!

What happens then at the weekend?..................Oh I forgot the housework and laundry fairies arrive and get it all done...........silly me!!!!

You are a shift worker, who often works over your alloted time (I know what nurses do as I'm married to one) so must be doubly difficult for you xx We appreciate you, your friendship and support xxxxxxxx

 

[EmmyR1984]

I'd say something too. I went crazy at my oh the other day when he left me to do everything yet again :bighug:

Hope you have a great weekend xx
