give me strength! no one told me there would be daily give aways and all sorts of treats to be had on the bloody thing.....
i have won a turkey, a case of antipodes water and 50 airpoints so far... haha
my mums birthday is on the 23rd but as i will be in napier i will be missing the day of celebrations so i thought we would have a pre birthday celebration this sunday! of course i am going to bake a cake and as i seem to be on a martha streak at the moment i will doing another one of her cakes, this time a devils food cake with chocolate mint ganache! yum....... looks slightly tricky but hopefully easier than the sponge cake!
today was the last day of work which is great news! tomorrow is our end of year christmas lunch which i had to buy a new dress for :/ luckily farmers had a sale on and i got a super cute dress and leggings for $45, its going to be at a bowling club... the theme is celebrities... for some reason i hate dress up parties when they are not needed! why do we need people dressing up when we are having a christmas lunch? maybe im just a stick in the mud but i reckon it would be more fun if people just dressed up in black tie!
i know im 8 not but i still have a pretty big xmas list in my head.... so for no reason except my own titillation i thought id blog it
1.
yup its a martha book! this book is truly amazing, it has fantastic cookies in which i want to start getting the hang of as my cookies usually end up tasting ok but looking terrible
2.
ira where the wild things are toy :> to go with my max toy! these are super cute and i just <3 them so much!! (and yes i know... im not 8)
3.
this amazing collapsible cupcake holder / carrier... so cute and great for carrying the cupcakes around and eliminates the worry of them slipping and sliding around or getting squashed by an over zealous chihuahua in your car :P
4.
another toy! oh no am i turning into one of those creepy women that are obesessed with soft toys and have 20 of them on their frilly duvet covered bed?!?! i hope not :/ but when in farmers today i came across a rudolph the red nosed reindeer toy .. similiar to this but even cuter! i have put in a request with my boyfriend... it wasnt met with much of a warm response but hopefully the request MAY come to fruition?
5.
oh god im not looking very mature am i? but im desperate for this! ever since we got the ps3 i have wanted it and hopefully it will be under the xmas tree for me :>
6.
general baking paraphanalia! metal tarts cases, madeliene baking pan, collapsable cookie cutters, a decent apron etc etc
7.
7.
a podgypanda rwar! tshirt... i have been eyeing them up since i saw these UBER cute designs at armageddon.... also on twitter
ANYWAY you get the picture, this list could go on for ever and i dont want to seem to greedy haha
oh and i handed out my little noodle boxes of xmas mince pies to their recipients at work today, they seemed to go down a treat, here are the photos from round two... sieved icing sugar and cute cut out lids made them look a little more attractive
