I only eat chocolate cake lol

So tired today been and got decortations for the house and stuff for Sineads birthday cake. Her birthday is next week but I like to do things with time in hand, rather than leave them to the last minute. The cakes bits cost a bit and I still got to get the eggs and butter and sugar. Its a 2 tier cake so going to take a lot as the bottom cake is an 8oz and the top cake is a 4oz. Bare in mind there is only me, my dad and Sinead that eat this cake lol but I like to make a special cake every year.

flourgirl Phew!! I'm so glad your wedding stuff turned up - I can't believe they returned it because the number was 1 digit out though :mad:

Wifey... as you've been a good girl... (if you can't beat them join them :rotfl:) and at this rate I'm gonna run out of cakes :rotfl:

I went to see my nephew's band in a pub in Glasgow last night - he was brilliant (proud aunty ) but late night and early morning for work just does not agree with me. Sooooo tired!! To think I used to do that 5 nights a week when I was younger.:eek: I was planning on blogging tonight but I think I'll be sleeping instead

:hello: peppop

Did you make those cakes? :eek: they look fantastic :T

p.s. thanks for following my blog.

Not made anything for a few days had the dreaded lurgy that everyone seems to be getting although hasn't stopping me stocking up on supplies from ebay and crafty sellers (thanks for the tip on here about that)

wow yummy cakes, could just eat one now. iv'e just sat down with a nice glass of wine after a hetic day of getting ready for the first day back at school. Iv'e had a run of family cards i needed to do on top of craft fairs, DT cards and with it being school hols i'm not getting on here as much as i would like not even to lurk.

i hope everyone is ok.

I got all the info for the nec in nov through the post today, anyone thought about going? i'm not sure yet would love to but the price of the parking bugs me, it's as much as a ticket for the fair.

Made a card for the challenge card, "Change" I have decided to do change in season and make a Christmas card. I will post a pic as soon as I find the camera. I have the lergy too think it could be a head cold, I feel ok during the day but them feel like carp during the night so off to quacks in the morning.

I've been trapped on the phone with my mother for 25 mins - how can I tell her nicely that 8:25 every Monday without fail is not a good time to ring me after I've spent all day on the phone being talked at by numpties

Have got DD into bed finally although not sure how well she'll sleep she only has to step out the door and they're all meeting on our corner to walk up and get the bus so she has nowt to worry about.

Rainmac how did chipstick get on? - will he go back tomorrow?

Hugs to poorlies glad virtual buggies are as damaging as virtual cake - I've given in and am halfway through a christmas card and I bought papercraft essentials today and read it at work this afternoon - smack so have another Humphrey but I've now seen a sneaky of the new xmas ones. Gonna put the kettle on coffe anyone? No flapjack left took it to work so I didn't sit and scoff it this evening :c)

Rainmac - I've seen you use a really lovely corner die on your most recent cards....could you post a link to where you got it from?

Huge well done on your DT position The corner die is by Quickutz, it's called Photo Corner but I can't find it for sale to link for you . I've had it for several years but only just started using it again, I love it.

So glad you had a lovely holiday jowri xxx

My lil man has an awful black eye, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and got whacked by my DS1 and his friend whist they were play wrestling I hope it gets better before he start school next week as it looks awful. My DS1 has been referred to the hospital about his wee problems. No idea how long we will have to wait for an appointment.

I've decided not to go to the LOTV class in October. I can just about afford it, but should probably spend the money on more sensible things. I'm going to save up for their next one - these things tend to be more enjoyable without guilt

Challenge card in the usual place, just click the image to make it bigger if you can not see it.

Got to dash need to get to Doctors, just finished having a huge argument with housing benefit who have not sorted my claim yet and have informed me that cause I get working tax I am no longer entitled to free school meals so need to find a way to pay this. Yeah they say your better off at work but they do not factor everything in do they.
