My mum had given me a pressure cooker ages ago. So, havin fogotten to put something half decent on for the kids dinner I think to myself -'Stew! The pressure cooker only takes half hour for stew' so I ring my mum -cus I'm completely cr4p with appliances and she comes up -to help me and to stay for some stew. Which is fine -I love my wee mummy she's a star!!
But she doesn't know I'm doing LT! So I'm givin oscar worthy performances during dinner - 'I'll eat mine when the kids are in bed, I'll get peace that way to enjoy it.' She eyes me suspiciously, swearing to herself that she can see me drool. I can't stop scanning the kitchen for LT evidence -have I left a wrapper on the counter, will she guess by the state of the blender? Oh no! She can smell it off me!! All that kind of stuff.
Then, we take a quick walk to shop...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
She buys, 'for a wee cup a tea' a lemon sponge cake and a packet of SIXTEEN tray bakes! I manage to say no by 'ak sure you know I'm trying to be good' and she refuses to take what's left home with her!
Now -I hadn't had a shake since this morning and the smells and the temptation, all the while smiling, were creeping into my stomach and I swear I heard laughing from within!
She goes, I close the door -throw the tray bakes at OH and kids -ice in blender, water, shake, glass, straw, upstairs, on computer within 4 minutes flat!
I swear this week's WI better be bloody good!
