Tangy Goodness

I am known for my cupcakes with Lemon Butter and Cream. They are adult indulgences. When I use to take them to the Playgroup Christmas Party they were reserved for the adults the kids didn't see them lol the mum's snapped them all up. I use to use a commercial lemon butter as I found one that was imported from Scotland and it was (I thought) like home made. My local shops stopped stocking it so I had to start making my own.

You may remember I have some girls coming over for a sewing afternoon to celebrate "Girl Night In" and I am making Lemonade Scones but no cupcakes but I thought the lemon butter would go with the scones just as well. I just wish it would make more than one jar.

And now to my fun with Telstra. My phone line has been noisy again so I rang Telstra on Sunday to get it fixed. They said it would be done by the 27th and I laughed. I got a phone message on the 27th to say that it would be fixed by the 28th. I got home on Wednesday to this debacle across my neighbours lawns (plural) but have heard nothing from Telstra till I rang yesterday. Apparently this is the permanent fix for my phone. Although I remonstrated with Telstra (via Bombay) that there is no way that they can consider this a permanent solution I got no where fast. So across two neighbours lawns, gardens and two drive ways we have in effect a telephone extension cord. Now I am sure this is an accident waiting to happen let alone there is no way that I am going to have a phone line for any length of time, kids are going to run through the front yard forget and pull the cord out. But apparently as I have phone service the fault is fixed and the neighbours have speed humps in their drive way. Should be fun when they mow the lawn.

oh Amanda that Telstra thing is terrible. While reading your blog I had visions of what you might be suggesting, but no, my visions could not have come up with such a joke.Get one of those T.V. shows out. Let the world know what a pack of morons Telstra has working for them.I lost my faith in Telstra years ago. No longer do they have my business.

I am having a little chuckle here at good old Telstra. Perhaps I could trip on it on my way in later and I could sue them LOL.
