Thank you Mary and the big reveal

  Thank you for the supportive comments re: glass of wine, I'd got in from work, it was there and Mr Twigs said what would you like to drink, it was rude not to :)

I've just walked Twiglet down to school it's a glorious sunny morning, but crikey it's cold!

Anyhoo, we had an old fashioned Sunday at the weekend, Mr Twigs has been moving furniture round to redesign Twiglet's bedroom - it looks great, it was tipping down outside.  Meanwhile the boy and I played on the Wii and made a Mary Berry Victoria sponge.

Now I've always been a chuck it all in the bowl at once, type baker and my cakes are always a bit flat. 

 The boys bought me one of the Great British Bake Off books while I was ill - bless 'em.  

Twiglet and I had a go at the Victoria Sponge and followed the step by step instructions. 

 Blardy hell it was gorgeous, so much so we ahem, scoffed it very quickly !!

My lovely Mum has been rummaging in the attic and found this 20 year old Kenwood Chefette and asked me to take it to the charity shop, but I stole it, it's ace and v,compact.

Retro baking !!

Here's a cute photo of Twiglet at Centre Parcs, his Dad took him out on his bike,a lot I love this photo.

Twiglet is going up to Stage 4 at swimming soon, v.proud Mum and Dad.

 The big reveal - apologies for pants photo, I did finally finish this, but missed the Emley Show - just need to get it framed.  

I think it's very jolly.

 Finally, lovely Josie over at Sykessillysite entered a givea way  the Little Floating Craft Company were having - it was a pay it forward.  

Josie nominated me and I was lucky enough to win this gorgeous bag, isn't it pretty?

Thank you so much , it was a kind thought and did cheer me up, when I was poorly.

Take a look at their website there is lots of lovely stuff.

Have you got your sequins ready for Strictly?  I can't wait, I love Autumn and the TV always improves.

We'll miss Dr Who though and I'll miss Rory and Amy (non Dr Who fans have no idea what I'm on about - I'm sure)

Righto, things to do, we're both back at work and it's my first day alone for over a year now- what am I doing to celebrate? cleaning the bathroom and mopping the floor - ooo the glamour!!
