Playing catch-up.

[curiouswombat]

Today I have a day of Annual Leave with nothing exciting planned to do in it. I have taken D-d to her school to sit her most feared exams, German Comprehension and Aural, and to cheer her up I have just put some of her favourite Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins in the oven. She can take one to work on her first day in the temping job tomorrow, to have with her lunch.

Also now that I have got all the missing mail, I must say a big thank you to people who have nominated me for awards -


Ten Years after has been nominated at both The Fang Fetish Awards

and also at The Lie to Me Awards.

Not too sure how to do the neat link between button and site, hence the link beside the pretty buttons! But don't let my inability to make it very, very neat stop you going and looking - there is some very good stuff on both sites.

Also D-d has finally found a pair of suitable shoes to wear with her Prom Dress, and I have now pinned the four layers of skirt up to the right length - so I'll be sewing, and sewing, and sewing for an evening or two.

And I have decided I will send another letter saying I am still not totally satisfied with the replies I have had about the way the LJ TOSsers keep changing the rules without telling us, and ending up with bloody stupid rules and definitions as a consequence.

Strawberry Cheesecake Muffins??? Sound too good to be true... any chance of the recipe??

Congratulations on the noms.!!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

They are lovely - and because I once mentioned them before (and was asked for the recipe) it is really, really easy to give it to you - it is in my journal last year - here -

They taste good, and are easy to make - what more could you ask for?

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that - they look absolutely scrummy!! 300 calories EACH is a little scary, but I shall definitely make some.

On the pro side, that's less than a double chocolate chip muffin!

You are going to post a photo of D-d in all her finery, right? 'Cause inquiring minds want to know.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. The big day is at the beginning of July, so the pics will be about then.

Congratulations ² very well-deserved.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you.

Congratulations!

I'm still planning to make contact with the LJ people myself, as soon as I get a few minutes free. It can't hurt to let them know how people feel ...

Congrats to you on your nominations, and to D-d on her shoes! And luck on the exams.

Sorry I managed to miss this comment - so I've already just said well done for the letter to the press office.

The German exams were 'horrible' - but she hopes that she has done enough in the other papers to pass the subject as a whole.

Oh, heil

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

Everybody has one subject they have problems with ... or more than one. Tell her I said good luck, although granted it's a bit late for that.

(I hope)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much - I will copy it into my 'LJ thing' file straight away, ready for next time - hopefully there will be a next time!

[myfeetshowit.livejournal.com]

I am absolutely certain there will be many of them.
