A week in the life of me......

Monday - Chat to Mel, wishing her a happy birthday

Tuesday - Great British Bake off on BBC1 (amazing show)

Wednesday - nothing

Thursday - Going to Shepherds Bush Westfields shopping centre, trying to spend my birthday gift. Came home empty handed but lots of memories of hanging out in Hurstville food court on late night shopping.

Friday - Went to dinner at Wagamama's with Natasha. Used my voucher (thanks Mila & Helen) then met up with Louisa & Colin and saw the comedy show "A Guide to Sexual Misery". Very funny, worth going to see.

Saturday - Volunteered at the Olympic Open Day. Basically stood around near our wall of information, answering questions. Scored a free t-shirt and got a cool pic of Pip & I with one of the mascots.

Sunday - Laid in bed, laid on the couch, laid on the bed, laid on the couch - sore back

Monday - back at work

Relaxing

Not much going on at the moment. Last week was pretty quiet as was the weekend. Spent most of my time in bed or cleaning up. I went for a walk on Sunday afternoon as the sun was out, it was glorious! Went for a 2hour walk through Epping forrest/Wanstead Park. It was great.

Also managed a bit of baking / cooking. The cookies didn't come out how I thought they would.

Presents & Baking

So I got an amazing present from Fiona, Andrew, Lucy & Henry! Lots and lots of baking equipment. I have already used the cookie dispenser and have read the two books cover to cover. I can't wait to make something from them. Oh and used the two spatulas too.

On Sunday after I had recovered from Thursday nights outting, I managed to do a bit of baking from the book that Clare had given me for my birthday. I made peanut butter & choc chip muffins, and chocky melt biscuits. Awesome!

Yet more birthday stuff

birthday continued........

lunch, what a surprise! I was soooo lucky. I got a gift voucher to Westfields, a mouse mat & mug from the girls (Paula, Clare, Michelle, Amber, Louisa, Emma, Pip, Suzy, Hayley) and Dean. It was lovely and the surprise was the help my friends must have received from my FAMILY!!!! Thanks Mum, I now have a lovely reminder of the mullet I had in primary school. But not stopping there the card was covered in a hilarious assortment of pictures of me!

Everyone baked:

Mint cupcakes - Charlene

Raspberry & Lemon cupcakes - Adrian

Chocolate shortbread - Susanne

Chocolate crackles - Paula

Lemon cake - Pip (It was amazing as it had layers of lemon curd)

Cupcake assortment - Michelle

I also got another cup from Lisa - Little miss Chatter box - not sure what she means.

It's MY BIRTHDAY!

Last night I had a lovely chat to Fiona, Andrew & Henry. Lucy sung me happy birthday but ran off to play doctor's in her room! Got a lovely baking package from them. (Pics to follow)

Today, the morning started off with a cuppa tea, cereal and a phone call from Mel! The a few pressies to open and a skype chat with the folks. More text's have followed and a chat to Darren as well.

What a wonderful morning to start my birthday!
