yayyyyyy it's Friday!!

The first week back after half term is always difficult. I have to try and be super organised again to fit in home and work ( and hopefully leisure too).

I am very happy to see Friday here and no cooking - very unhealthy fish n chips tonight. I have the new episode Of Greys to watch ( with a box of tissues) . A crop to look forward to on Sunday. and look what arrived this morning ...

These lovely tags from a swap I take part in UK Scrappers.

So Thanks Sarah, Cassie and Elaine for such beautiful tags.

If you would like to take part in the hop , pop over to Annie's blog for all the info.

Friday Smiles

Whats NOT to smile about - I am still on half term ( although it has gone too quickly!) ,

the sun is shining and its getting lighter.

 It was hubby's birthday yesterday - this is one of the gifts I got for him - which of course he loved- I did tell him that it is racist especially as I am English ( only part Welsh from my grandad ).

 Dan bought him these disgusting things.

And I made a chocolate cake - this is what it looked like BEFORE I hid it up! It was over 6 inches deep and in hindsight , I really aught to have leveled the bottom before I put ther buttercream on . When I went to get it ( hidden up in my craft room) , the Top has slid off onto my chair with my cardigan and jacket over the back- What a mess!! Cardi in washing machine - jacket damp cleaned ( wasn't too bad ) and cake reassembled. We couldnt light the candles as I still can't find the 5- hope no one eats it! Hubby was crying with laughter.

Another foodie post

 It's a bit too warm for these with the heating on. My pretty little roses. I did say not to get anything for Valentines ( after winding him up a bit ;)) . We have been married for 33 yrs this year and there are some days that I don't want to murder him ;). I guess he thought he'd play it safe ha ha .

 last nights tea was homemade Lasagna ( Dan's Fav) and raspberry and white chocolate Muffins.

Derek has said that he doesn't want me to go back to work - they get fed better when I am off! It will be a few more years before I can retire ( not that I want to - although an extra day at the weekend would be nice).

Inspired by pinterest

This half term I have been trying to mix up some of the food we eat by saving things onto Pinterest. I kidnap one of the others to sit with me and tell me what they might like for a change. It gets SO boring cooking the same things . 

We don't always have a desert - most of us don't need it!

I found this Lemon Mascarpone Roulade and thought I'd give it a go. I made too much whipped cream but no one complained.

Here is the photo that inspired me.

 They loved it.

This is what we had for our main meal ( also saved from pinterest) I forgot to photograph mine!

We didn't have tails on our prawns . 

HERE is the recipe. I used all fresh ingredients and just normal tesco mushrooms- I will definitely cook this again.

Friday Smiles

Ohh dear, It seems that I have neglected this blog for a little while. I DO have another- full of crafty stuff (here)

I have had lots so smile about too - it's just that Fridays are usually quite busy and I am not organised enough to create a post in time for the blog hop!

The biggest smile today is that we have reached half term again . Its not going to be great weather and its only a week off so I intend to just catch up on house work and spend the rest of the time in my craft room :)

Hubby bought me this for my birthday a couple of weeks ago :

I Love it and am really looking forward to playing with it over the half term.

Although I do Love vodka...it will probably be a glass of wine I celebrate the half term with this evening .
 Have a great week!
