This is Mary, not me, and although she tried and tried she didn't quite manage it. I only had one try, tweaked my arm slightly and wasn't going to risk making it worse by trying again. I don't want an injury this week.

This afternoon I'm going to make a chocolate birthday cake, put it in the freezer while I'm away and then I'll only have to do the buttercream and the decorating when I'm back home... which is all I'll have time for anyway!
