Mariagti's new chapter,the MSE way!

Hey

Well the meeting still hasnt happened yet, i think there waiting until all the girls are in which wont be until tuesday. But our manager is now stressed to the max as the new girl is rubbish and his had lots of complaints about rooms shes done. Oh well its what he gest paid for, thats his fault he should employ a housekeeper to check the rooms and supervise us.

I still have stacks of toilteries too, most of the Boots stuff i got for free last year is nearly all used up now. But i have so many half used bottles and cans of stuff that i need to use up too before buying more. But i will always take freebies!

Thinking of that i really need to pop out and buy a new mascara, i only started using the current one 2 weeks ago and the head has snapped off of it when i was trying to get it back in the tube. Its one of those maybelline bendy wands, it bends so much i have trouble getting it back in and its just snapped off!:rotfl:They cost around £9 too.:(

I also need to go out and fill up on petrol, i hate that job! I wish BP had self service pumps like the supermarket does i hate queuing up to pay, it takes forever as everyone pays by card.

I still havent made any cupcakes yet!:( I still need to buy the piping bags and nozzles, i think i will have a look on ebay now actually as i would like to make some for mothers day for my mum.

Maria, thanks for reminding me. Someone recommended the Hummingbird baking book, and I went to the shop to have a look at it and fall in love. So did some research, currently book people have it for £4.99. My boss got it for me as she ordered some other one so we didn't need to pay for delivery. Bargain for that price!

mariagti

Haha no problem kavics! Im too tight to buy books i just printout reciepes etc from google instead. Although that is a bargin price and ive just googled the book and it looks quiet a cute book to have!

I have the Hummingbird baking book, it's brilliant isn't it. The cakes look soooo gorgeous. They have a shop in London i think. £4.99 is a bargain, i paid about £10.

Your totals are looking briliant Maria, well done!

I'm just reading the Hummingbird Bakery book and I want to make EVERYTHING! I got it from my local library so maybe you could try there before buying? If you like it then you could perhaps buy a copy or just copy out the recipes you like :rotfl:

mariagti

:rotfl:Good idea there pinkhayles! I just need a library card first though, i havent been there since my school days!

I went on Ebay and bought 8 nozzles and one re-useable piping bag and 25 silver foil cupcake cases just like the pro's use as i want them to look as posh as possible!:D I didnt have to spend any money as i didnt realise i had money left in my paypal account from PC surveys so even better they were free!:cool:

If all goes well with the cupcakes im thinking of making a car birthday cake for my good friend who's always down in the dumps. He loves his old mk2 vw golf so im thinking of making one. As its an old car its quite square so should be easy to make just the colours on icing and wheels, glass etc will be hard. Its bright kermit the frog green with bits of black. his birthday isnt until end of april so loads of time to figure out how to make it.

.....Is there any car cakes in this book your all raving on about??:o:D

My OH bought his new car last night, well i say new car its a 1999 Subaru WRX. I cant stand them personally as they are old man show off cars but each to there own most peple hate french cars!:D It only cost £1975 so not bad, he will get that and more back when he sells his Golf.

Another rubbish day at work but im not going to go on about it anymore id rather be thinking of better stuff than there all the time!:mad:

Anyway, thank god the weekend is here!:j:j OH's parents are going away to watch the rugby for the weekend so i may stay over there the weekend and look after him esle he will just live on mcdonalds the whole weekend! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D

Hope that you have a great weekend with your OH!

Good luck with the cakes, bet they will be yummy.

My sister has the hummingbird book, might have to use it and make some cakes. Bet they are sooo bad for you though.

Morning,

Ive been forgetting to add money from extra hours at work ive been doing this month so far. So have added that into my siggy. I might add the money OH gave me for valentines as i cant find anything i want. I will add it on at the end of the month if i dont spend it.;)

I went to Tesco last night as needed to buy a new mascara to replace my broken one.:mad: Ive also bought a few other bits:

Mascara £7.99
Eye whitening drops £2.79
Pink cake toppings £2.89

Then went to BP:
Petrol £38
Percy pigs £1.39:D whoopsie!

So total spent:£53.06!

Nothing to do today, OH is at work doing overtime as usual, then will probably be tired when he gets in and have a sleep so i probably wont see him until this evening. So im not really sure what to do today.

The percy pigs are back lol. Have you tried poundland for cake bits? I was in there earlier today and got butterfly and bear silicone cake moulds. They had silicone cupake cases too, it was either 6 or 8 of the standard size ones, or 10 mini ones to a pack. The probably have lots of other stuff too but I got drawn to the silicone things.
