Crisis, chaos, cake and cuddles .....
Son taken very poorly 😷(now fine.. phew!!!!😅) .... what is a mum to do ???
1....Sit loving at his bedside meeting his every need, lavishing the with TLC, grapes and  Lucazade. 😇... sadly for him he's got me as a mum on a  year challenge .....
Or 2 .....Yes you've got it ....... 🤗...quick visits to hospital.. only quick... not because I don't love him... but the bloody car park is £4.00 an hour !!!!😱...... So true to my challenge had a mile walk to find free parking  ... and the important fact I had 2 loaves of bread to bake or no packed lunches for everyone else the next day ...😇
Well I was very stressed ...... and very depressed after spending £1.50 on a coffee ....ahhhh😱😱😱I was so distraught... I had no other option ... So sold a jumper to cover the cost of my thriver-less spend... then to dampen my sorrow and got back on the focus of my challenge.... I   so also baked a very large cake ..... a very large and utterly delicious cake ....quickly followed by consuming half  of said very large cake 🎂!!!!!



After my secret cake binge recovery.... finally got  round to doing a job I've been putting off since starting my challenge .... the dreaded reorganisation of my freezer.....
Then I began thinking.... Am I the only person who just deposits the contents of their entire shopping  trip frenzy into their freezer ....thinking .. " note to self ...sort this out later !!!"....believe me when I say even this was even a bigger job than I was anticipating.... and to my absolute horror and disgust.... there was enough food to support the third world food mountain... most of which I'd totally forgotten three quarters of  it was in there....TERRIBLE!!!



Then Spent a productive afternoon vigorously menu planning with military precision..... shockingly  had enough food in there for meals very day for the next 52 days 😦 ... so now feel embarrassed and totally ashamed of my previous obsessive, subconscious and completely unnecessary glutinous spending ....

Oh ...... I can officially announce.....I am now a very proud award winning marmalade maker .....
Well when I say award winning I mean I entered my marmalade in the village Spring Show....
Apparently  (according to to section 4.5 of the show rule book) it was in the wrong type of jar.... REALLY!!!!
 and if that wasn't ridiculous enough.....
The label wasn't within the Show Rules ... 😂😂😂😂😂
but the marmalade was outstanding quality !!!
Who needs a proper jar or label anyway!!!
