Bailey’s chocolate truffles
Did not make into work today! Ds2 (11 years) took poorly after his Christingle service yesterday, he has the most horrendous cold and yes, you’ve guessed it, I also have it, Yak. I really hate being ill and I am the worst patient ever. I am a trained Nurse and always give advice to my patients who are not feeling well, but as soon as I am ill, I can’t seem to figure out, how I should treat myself!!!! doh! I have taken reluctantly taken some tablets, as I was feeling absolutely horrid, they have numbed the headache a little, but still feel yuk!! (sorry moan over )
On a brighter note, I have been surfing for some truffle recipes and this one looks great :)
