January Blues? No Thank You!



I don't know about everyone else but I've had quite a few E-mails lately with offers and deals telling me to 'shake away the January blues'. I've got to admit though that this January I'm a pretty happy gal.I picked up these some Dutch Daffs from the fruit and veg shop in Chipping Sodbury, the town I work in. Two bunches for £1.20, enough to brighten up the house for a week. Tomorrow is also the day that one of my best friends Robyn gets married! It's a black tie event and we're looking forward to getting dressed up and having a good old knees up to celebrate the day. Here are the pictures of the cake pops I promised.





I also found out my friend and old flatmate Nicki got engaged this week! And they've already set a date for September this year! February has a lot to live up to!

Home Alone

Day 4 of being abandoned by the Mr. for his boys snowboarding holiday. But don't feel sorry for me, when he returns I only have to wait a few weeks until we're off together to enjoy the snow! And if you're good at Maths you will of worked out that he gets two snow holidays and I just the one! Don't ask me how this has happened because I'm not even sure myself. Here's a picture he sent me, just to rub it in a bit more.



I can't say I've done an awful lot since he's been away. I've stayed at my parents a few nights, me and mum spent the day shopping on Saturday. It's the big countdown to one of my my best friends wedding (next Friday!!!) so i've bought my dress and shoes. She kindly asked me to make the favours for the guests - cake pops so I've been prepping for that. I'm so excited to do it I love baking for grateful eaters. I'll hopefully remember to take some pictures!

I'll finish with a picture of this chap, he's been missing Mr.E terribly, wandering around the house looking for him. Best friends reunited on Saturday!
