Halloween, Christmas and Birthday all catered for on today's Poundland shop

I only went out for sugar and bread .... but ended up spending £13 in Poundland today.....

Lego cake

Noahs birthday started off much like any other soon to be 3 year old ..... with a request for a Hulk cake.  Sure I could buy some icing picture off ebay (or somewhere) and a sponge cake .... or I could make it myself .... that was where the trouble started!!




With the boys we did a trial run a couple of weeks ago using red food colouring (to make a spiderman cake) - it didn't give quite the colour intensity I was hoping for....




So armed with green gel colour (which my friend advised would work much better) I set about the cake making mission.  The flavour of the Spiderman cake was lovely so we used  the same recipe.

I also bought multicoloured ready rolled icing and dug out the Lego silicone moulds.  Hulk himself was going to prove a challenge ... there was nothing online I felt confident copying so I went with a simple (well ..) marble cake with green icing, Lego man and bricks.

Tuneful Tuesday - Kool and The Gang: Celebration

Happy Birthday To Me!!

I thought "Happy Birthday" was a bit too original for todays Tuneful Tuesday .... so how about a bit of Kool and The Gang's Celebration?

Here's the lyrics, and a you tube video incase you need a reminder .....

A Pizza Hut party ........ or not as the case may be.

What do you get for a Marvel/ DC obsessed 5 year old who loves pizza for his birthday ....... A superhero Pizza Hut Party of course.

So that's what I booked.  The evening promised:
 - invites and party bags that you could collect (we choose to make our own so didn't ask about these).
- An apron for the birthday child
- a book sampler/ magazine for every child at the party
- special table cloths
- balloons
- fun and games
- birthday card from pizza hut

- add a birthday cake for £8.99 (but we took our own).

My To-Do List 11/10-17/10

This weekends to-do list

Another week.... another to-do list.
You may be wondering why my to-do lists always start on a Friday?  Simples I work Monday to Thursday so for me Fridays are the start of my house week.
