TWINKLE

Even my magic wand can't sort this mess out Rose! I have just found something as ugly as my bathroom. Look at this old clip and the wall in the backround is the same colour as my cabinets[+o(] [:)] I was going for a stone grey that is fashionable at the moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUfjm2_LORY&feature=related

I will slap your cheek, I swear!

[quote user="Rose"]Twinks... can't you just wave your magic wand and sprinkle it with fairy dust? [8-)] [:$][/quote] I actually thought about that for a couple seconds!

[quote user="woolybanana"]That'll learn ya![/quote]  Yes, you're right -  that's what my husband said too.  He's nursing a swollen cheek as I type [:)]

Maybe this thread should be moved to House Renovations?

I do all the D.I.Y. here even the flooring and the wooden shutters outside - I love it and I'm pretty good too but I completely got the colour scheme wrong this time.

I have spent the last week (and quite a few euros) stripping and sanding my wooden bathroom cabinets because I felt like a change.  I then painted them with a coat of undercoat, gently sanded that before applying two coats of paint that I took hours choosing in 4 different D.I.Y. stores.  I now have a bathroom that looks like something out of that horrible Austrailian series "Sons and Daughters"!  I feel like crying. So, this Saturday I will be locking myself in the bathroom and stripping the whole lot off and applying wood varnish - AGAIN!!! Oh well, you live and learn[:(] Anyone else had a decorating disaster?

[quote user="Dog"] Ladies ladies I would like to give you both one... [/quote] Would you like to give me one? [:$] Sorry - couldn't resist after a glass of wine [:)]

Bravo!                              Felicitations!!!

Go girl!

Now this is what I love about this forum.  Lovely stories. As you were!

Definately darling! When can you come?

[quote user="Just Katie"]Hey Twinks; you still sneak on here from time to time too do you?  See you Friday Xx[/quote] Well I was logged out for a couple of months and couldn't get on the forum - then I managed to get on with another identity and Cat sorted me out again. See ya on the weekend! Nice to see you too coops and sweet and Christine and wooly and Richard and everyone else!

Ok! 200g of black choc. 6 eggs Pinch of salt Melt chocolate à la bain-marie. Seperate egg whites - put the yolks in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the egg whites and salt into fluffy stiff snow (?) Add the chocolate to the egg yolks as soon as it's all melted (this will make little pepettes of chocolate form) then take a quarter of this mixture and fold it into the snow with a spatular taking care not to break the fluffy white stuff (keep it nice and airy). Add the rest then pour either into 6 individual coupes or one big one just for you! Place in the refridgerator for 2-3 hours.   

Yes! I'm the real thing! I shall prove it by providing useless information and ridiculous ideas henceforth lover of camping cars and Leonard Cohen!

No sugar, no cream just good 70% cacao black chocolate and eggs.  Add the eggs while the chocolate is still hot and you'll get nuggets of chocolate in your mousse that everyone will want to know how you did it!  

Thankyou Wonder Cat [:)]
