Hi all, Have had a rough 24 hours , a really good friend lost her mum last night, she had emphysema, but it was a blood infection and pnemonia that eventually took hold.. its a really sad situation as my friend has Aspergers and has no idea what to do ,and her brother is about as helpful as a wet tissue :-(...so I have been busy with enquiries as to where to from here , there was no will and no provision for a funeral...her mum was going to fix it all up this week....ironic isn't it..shows how life can deal a hand at anytime...I am at present looking for her mums sister as there has been nil contact for 10 years now..her sister has a right to know as my friend has said..she has asked me to find her..I only know her first and last name, but no address .
its really hard for families that are left behind to do what should have already been done and arranged...her brother said as he is the oldest everything automatically goes to him...GRRR...he also is actually responsible for the funeral,,but he said he is not paying for it...so I need to contact Centrelink tomorrow..
does anyone know what happens in this situation??
Dolly Your reborn is so lovely and real looking...let me know when dhe is listed and maybe i will bid...depends if my finances have recovered from my last purchase!!
Dame good to see you back...please stay in touch..
Freddie way to go with the sponges..I used to make great sponges,, I used to include 1/4 of a teaspoon of baking powder in the mix and sieve the flour at least 4 times and having the milk and eggs at room temperature is also a good idea...if you dont want the sponges to crack on top dont open the oven til they are done..then turn the oven off, leave the sponges in the oven with the oven door open, for about 5 or 10 mins then take them out to cool before transferring to a cake cooler!
JV hope your mum is ok, stay safe with all that rain wont you!
Lily good luck with those interviews, hope it all goes well..

A home without a cat is just a house!!
