I made some mince pies today with a new pastry recipe. Very nice even if i do say so myself!
Hope you and the children are all well.
Take care, Zoe xx
Yum yum! i might try the filo pastry mince pie,sainsburys have done a card thing on how to make them.
Kids are doing fine,both got slight sniffels but thats from the colds they had,so getting better i hope.
Chantelle was ment to have a visit with her mm again today but again she never turned up,that's 3week's in a row now and its not fair,the social are going to cancell all her visits if she misses them again.
Anyway chantelle is rolling around and making a good effort at pushing her feet into the floor,not long before she's crawling i think.
Riley's been great with her,his doing great at creche and looking forward to the possibility he might be going to school as of janunary.

The pastry i made was citrus using the rind of a lemon and orange, it was lovely. Will definatley do more.

sorry i missed you last night, i was busy making sugar craft flowers!! I've been doing a 5week evening class and the last one is next week, we are putting together a spray of flowers and as i'd only made a few so far i'm frantically trying to make something to put together!!!
I've realised it's definately not the right hobby for a mum of two young kids!!! I do love it though!
Anyway i'm glad Riley and Chantelle seem to be recovering from their colds. I'm sorry about her mum but as Zoe said it really is her loss and you're doing such a good job she's lucky to have you all.
I hope to catch you soon Take care xxx
Speaking of cooking, I meant to tell you all - I was browsing in the library the other day and I found the 'Practical Parenting Cooking for Kids' cook book!
Might try my hand and some xmas biscuits next week.
Emma, im going to repeat what every one else has said about chantelles mum and that it her loss and thank god she has you. xx
Thanks for your support,it is her who misses out but its just so unfair they ferry her back and forth for nothing.never mind if it happens again they will be stopping her visitation alltogether.
Hi tasha,the ice things sound lovely,id love to give it a go.

3- Stir in the flour to get a smooth paste consistency.Turn out the mixture onto a floured surface and gently roll out to approx 1cm thick.
4- Cut out shapes and sprinkle with a little caster sugar.
5- place on a baking tray and refrigerate for 20min.Then transfer to oven and bake for 15-20mins unil they are pale golden.Once cooked remove and leave to cool.
She's supposed to be suffering PND.Im not one to judge but she has a 2yr old son and had nothing to do with him till he could walk and talk.(cant cope with the baby demands)
My nephew was in scbu and my sister never left him neither did my mum.
Just one of them things i suppose.
I too have got the baking bug! I am into cherry scones and rock cakes! I am going to move onto muffins next!!!!
Yum Yum Yum!
