Leave it!

That's my most used Cousteau command. He understands it straight away. No messing!

Whether it's my tone of voice, the look in my eye, or the fact that he has a guilty conscience (yeah, right!), he responds immediately.

Well, usually anyway.

I made these wee fairy cakes because I'd just bought myself a cake stand and I wanted something to put on it.

I don't usually use a packet mix but this was cheaper than trying to buy all the ingredients.

It clearly states on the packet that it makes 32 cakes. Not a chance! I made 25 piddly little cakes. There is no way on earth that this packet of over-sweetened mixture was ever going to make 32 cakes.

So I complained.

They're sending me a replacement pack!

Cool!
