It has been one hell of a rollercoaster, just in a month though! My little flat is looking more and more homely all the time now, The Rents bought me a couple of lamps (cream in colour and shabby chic in design, of course!), my sofas are very comfy, fridge freezer and washing machine are in fine working order, and more recently, thanks to a wonderful Mummy Friend for hers and her husbands' generosity, I now also have a wonderful double + single wardrobe, with mirrored doors, and also a lovely little bookcase! :) However, I now need a bigger living room, as Sienna is a very lucky little girl with FAR too many new toys!
For Xmas, I had a fab surprise wrapped up in a big box- a load of baking equipment! Hurray! Made a gorgeous Victoria sponge (top) just before Xmas (with the little equipment I had bought for myself), and some lovely fruit scones yesterday (middle) (along with mini triangle sammiches, and lashings of ginger beer... I mean tea!) hehe although, as what wouldn't be like me, a couple of baking disasters! Tried to add some banana to what was initially gonna be a single story Victoria sponge (it didn't rise. At all.) and also my (in)famous muffcakes! (bottom)
If you haven't already noticed, muffcakes are what are supposed to be cupcakes.... hey.... Maybe I have found a niche in the market...... Can you spot the one that came out relatively unscathed? Haha! I have since bought cupcake cases, which I thought I was using in the first place, but they're actually fairy cake cases!!! Silly me.... ¬_¬ hmmm maybe I should start a baking blog too..... ;-)
Still, New Year was a rather pleasant affair, in the end.... Spent the evening with my family round my nan's house, which was really nice, had a good giggle, got to see my niece too which was nice :)
And so as it's a new year, I guess I should also summarise last year! What a year it was! Lots of things just seemed to slot in to place all year long! No prospects of moving came up until right at the merry end, of which I'm very glad I waited... and waited..... :) got a most wonderful flat! Also, had 2 splendid holidays to Great Yarmouth with a good old school chum (I paid pittance for them!), also met lots and lots of absolutely amazing people from all quite good walks of life, and Sprog has been amazing me more and more all the time! Plus there were all the bad times, losing Misty being the worst! Plus not getting on very well with The Rents whilst I lived with them, being dragged through hell/up to Watford (same thing in this case), and I actually think that might be about it for bad stuff this year, actually, so all in all it's be a brill year :D
I hope 2014 is good too!
So lastly, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a happy, harmonious, prosperous and successful 2014!
Lots of Love,
Me xXx
