Cadbury’s mini egg fudge recipe – the super quick version

April 14, 2023

Oh fudges! Isn’t it fab. A sweet treat that you can dip into when the littles aren’t looking hehe! We love making it, and have tried out lots of different slow cooker versions of it. But… the other day I came across a recipe that takes about 15 mins in the saucepan, and overnight to set.

What?! I know right. Can this really be true? *I hear you say. We honestly didn’t believe it either. So… decided to give it a go ourselves, with a few teeny tweaks. And yes – it actually works!

Planning our loft conversion

January 8, 2023

So, after 12 years of thinking about it, we are finally getting a loft conversion done. Yay! It might have taken covid and working from home to give us that final push (or maybe shove). But I am so glad we are taking the plunge.
