Not Long To Go....

A week to go before my birthday...

I'm 42 years old, & I still know no better ;)

We visited Bromsgrove & Alcester today.

We got a few bargains from all the charity shops we visited.

I got home, and started on tea.

From scratch...

Packed it with lots of spinach,garlic,ginger, and vegetables.

Four empty plates. I must be doing something right!

Beef, Mushroom,Potato & Vegetable Pie

Ring Ring......

I was children-free for a couple of hours.

So I looked round my shopping centre,

I raided the reduced stand at Marks and Spencer's.

I had my first visit to a shop called Magical Story.

Nearly all the stock has 50% of it.

One item brought back so memories...

How did we cope with not being able to walk around the  house and talk???

Those Were The Days.....

While we had a quick stop over in Droitwich,

We had a look in a charity shop (like we do!)

Looking through the DVDs,

I had to buy it.

I remember watching it on Saturday tea-times at 5.15pm on ITV

Now my kids are in total awe of BA

They can't understand why he don't like flying...

 

Making & Baking

Kenny the Kenwood has been so busy this morning.

Once the mocha cupcakes were put into cases, they were slammed into the oven.

Out then came my box of card crap.

My kids made two birthday cards,& I made one too.

That's the cake and cards sorted out for my sister-in-law....

 

I Like The Taste Of That!

Second day into half term holiday from school/work

We nipped into the Salvation Army Charity Shop.

Got a few bits.

 Then off to feed the ducks...

 Then out came cupcake maker that was bought for me last February for my Birthday.

This time my kids are doing the baking.

I am just observing and taste tasting!

Cut & Slice

It's the first day of half term holiday from school/work.

Once I had the important lie-in.

I started to tidy up, mop, & add a new duvet cover to our bed.

Now to cut up the cake.

Still got loads to "give away".

I need the room, as I have to make,bake & decorate another cake.

For my Birthday on the 28th February.....

Snowdrops Time!

We only time to look around one church today.

We visited St Leonard's in Beoley

 The snowdrops were in great force.

Even the Mayor paid a visit.

Our aim is to visit two churches next Sunday!
