She found the new, clean glass a fascination, and lay on the kitchen floor to watch the cakes rise! Have to admit that I joined her for a few moments, and it was funny to watch the cakes rising, with little bubbles popping out of the tops of them like tiny volcanoes occasionally!
The kitchen isn't finished yet, but it moves forward slowly. We are going to paint the ceiling and what exposed walls there are. Not a lot of walls to paint, but some cobwebs to dislodge first as well. Still work to do!
Tonight the EFG and I have been doing a 20 minute boxing workout from a Davina DVD, and my legs are feeling it from all the squatting for the bobbing and weaving - it is fun, and it is good to do it together, but I do feel the aches afterwards. Hopefully we will see the benefit when we get weighed on Thursday...
The benefit of all this activity today is that I haven't spent a penny of money all day, and indeed have actually acquired £3 from selling boxes of eggs to friends. Hoping for a similar day tomorrow, as I am not going anywhere. Not spending is about making do sometimes, and I have had a rummage in the freezer for tomorrow's supper - we are going to have a turkey drumstick joint from Morrison's which I bought some months ago, but I know that we will all eat several meals from it, which makes it very good value.

It looks very 'Great British Bake Off' to see someone crouched in front of an oven door :-)
It is fascinating watching cakes rise though isn't it, although I used to have a strange urge to open the door and watch them sink just as fast. Good job my Aga doesn't have glass doors!!
Thanks, Sue - she wasn't very GBBO in her method though - she was using a box of carrot cake mix from AF which has been in the cupboard for a while. Maybe next time she'll make something from scratch, but I can't complain at her using what was available!
When I got my first automatic washing machine, I sat on the floor to watch the washing going round [we only had a b&w TV then, so it was like having a colour set!!]
Just love the picture!! I think if I bake anymore cakes I will be lying on the floor too!! Cake making since last Friday, but today's Coffee Morning a resounding success, worn out, but worth it!!!! X
