Truely scrumptious...

I had great fun decorating these yummy looking cupcakes the other night at 9.30pm, just after watching the few remaining episodes of Greys Anatomy i taped off freeview. I found doing this helped me from screaming that both the last 2 episodes had taped without the endings argh! why can't channel five just stick to the right times and not run 10 mins late, anyhoo I'm gonna ask of HMV vouchers now for Christmas so i can treat myself to the box sets.
Happy with the finished look i hopped upstairs to bedforshire for some zzzzzz




The next morning i packed them up in pink tissue paper and basket and set off with the girls to the coffee morning at the Salvation Army, all money raise is going to the Macmillan Cancer support. Within the first 10 mins of being here they'd all gone lol hungry lot.

I also took a few packs of cupcake pegs and donated £1.50 of each pack sold to the charity. I was very pleased when a couple sold. And sat back and enjoyed a coffee, cake and chat with some other mum's there, while the girls played. Bless the old ladies there, my Nan would be proud of me, she always loved going the Salvation Army in Maidstone and made so many good friends.

Here are my two little cupcakes mixing up the recipe and being a very big help to Mummy. I of course let them lick their spoons after we'd done, it would of been mean of me not too.

Our post lady came knocking the other day with a large brown jiffy bag??? i thought to myself what's in this then. And opened it to find these lovely bead sets for the girls. A little thank you from Imogen and Beatrice, Jane's two beautiful girls.

Molly and Daisy got stuck in right away and made necklaces. They kept quite for hours threading each bead and shouting look mummy, look! and when there Daddy came in later he too helped, (which i think he enjoyed lol).

So a very big thank you for them and we hope to meet someday soon.

And look i wasn't left out in the prezzies, this gorgeous note set is all mine. So yummy looking just good enough to eat. Thank you Jane, you're a very sweet lady. I hope we get to have coffee and cupcake soon, maybe at Anna's cafe. X

These goodies also few on to the mat last week, the fabulous Mandy sent them in return for some of my new Christmas red dotty heart decorations/gift tags. How beautiful are they? I'm just crazy for everything in Belle & Boo's website and Etsy shop. It was lovely to meet you at the London trade show and finally put a face to the blog and emails lol

Wishing you ever bit of luck. Speak soon. X

I hope you're all enjoying the sunny weekend and making the most of it. I'm trying to keep happy as Molly's not been so good at pre-school, last Wednesday she just wailed when she saw me still chatting at the gate to her key worker and they had to take her off me kicking and screaming argh! just heart breaking. I don't know what's set her off but now she doesn't want to go on Monday. But she is, I'm just going to take her and not make a big thing out of it. It is hard not to as she won't give me a reason for not wanting to go, has anyone else had this happen? or have any advice? things where going so well and i really felt for the other poor mum's with crying little ones. And now I've become one of them :(

Fingers crossed she just goes in and smiles.

Many hugs,

Catherine x
