Where has all the Sun gone?

I've had another incredible week avec my friends. We went to Greenich, which was really fun. We walked around the shops (though there wasn't many) and then walked for aaaaaages trying to find Pizza Hut down these really dodgy streets. Soon we found it though and it was DELICIOUS. Just thinking about it now makes me hungry :(.


But lets move away from food shall we? After lunch we went on a BOAT along the Thames. It was really cool (although I honestly thought it would be a speed boat. Darn it.). Meanwhile, throughout the day, me and Ambra were trying to remember the tune of 'Never Forget'. It was so frustrating!! Ambra even phoned her sister up, and even after she hummed it to us. It took good old Sophie to get her iPhone out and youtube it. We couldn't stop singing it after that and vowed to learn the whole song (on reflection and after reading the lyrics it is a bloody long and complicated song. I'm just learning the chorus :)). After a starbucks we joggled off home and I got a lift with Dawn in her groovy Hello Kitty car.


On Wednesday me, ambra, kirsty, dawn and megan went to see the new Harry Potter film. It was really good. It was pretty funny because I was sitting next to Kirsty (remember the really big Rupert Grint fan??) and she was just in her own little paradise (unless the actresses went anywhere near him in which she had a murderous look in her eye...) and also we took everything that Dumbledore said the wrong way. ("take my arm, Harry.." "Have you got a girlfriend, Harry?") It was pretty damn funny.

Thursday I literally sat in the garden (in the SUN - omg can you believe it??) and read the rest of Confessions of a Shopoholic. Really good and easy book to read. Really enjoyable, deffo recommended. My mum was experimenting with cupcakes as well, so as the chief taster I ate 7. Yes. I know. [In case you're interested: 4 cinammon and apple ones, 3 chocolate ones and a hell of a lot of bowl licking ;)).

Tonight I'm off to the fairground with my mates and I can't wait!! I'm a wimp on any kind of ride though so I'll mostly be eating candyfloss.

Day of Randomness

Today has been a bit random. First I wake up at 10:00 (I know, but it's the first time in my two week break I've had a lie in) and what has arrived in the post but my new purse - Union Jack Style. It's smaller then I thought but it's just too darn cute :) .

Ok, so then I got downstairs and my mum is in serious decorating mode. She has always been into making and decorating cakes (since my first birthday, no less) but recently has been in uber cake mode. I tell her she should go into business but oh no, she doesn't charge for her cakes at all (just asks the person to buy the ingredients). Currently she is making/decorating three cakes for: my Uncle Kevin's 50th, his partner's parents 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary, and his almost father in law's 75th. Which are shown below:

[Due to the 75th cake being sponge instead of fruit it hasn't been made yet as it needs to be done nearer the party.]

Recently, she also made a really great 21st birthday cake for both my sister and her friend Laura. They are really well done and delicious :) . Go into business mum!!

After having a breakfast of cookies and leftover icing (bang goes eating healthily), I showered, ate some more and am now currently tending to my business (if you can call it that haha) of ebay. I've now uploaded more than 60 items.

[Shop for my ebay items here]


I'm a little worried to be honest: once my ebay auctions start to finish, I'm going to be in the post office practically everyday sending over 10 items each time. Now, the post office people are ok-ish (as long as you get the woman - the man is gruuuuuuumpy) but even the lady post office person gets annoyed. She seems to be really jolly with the people in front of me but as soon as I come along she has a facial expression that screams blankness. Also, I don't seem to be quick enough for her - I have to multitask by taking the sticker/stamp from her, taking and sticking the stamp or whatever to that particular package at the same time as then putting another parcel on the scales. I can almost see her tapping her feet with impatience as I juggle 10 parcels on a 30cm by 30cm tabletop. Grrr... I'll just have to wait and see...

Love and blue and yellow icing,

Madison
