My Week: Week 16

Here is my Week 16:

As you can see it was it was a quiet first half of the week, I had to email Waterstones regarding my World Book Night books (to make sure it was alright collecting them on Friday), I started a new book (Before the Storm - Diane Chamberlain - a very good book). I used my ingredients list as we made on Saturday a Sausage and Bean Bake (Picture at the end of the post)

The rest of the week was quite busy, I had friday off with my partner, we collected our books, dropped my mum and dad off at the train station, finished 2 books over the weekend and started another one (I am doing well for my 100 books in 2013 well on target)

 Here is the sausage and bean bake that we made for dinner, turned our really good but amendments could be made to the recipe (less butter beans for a start) but overall it was quite tasty,

Hope you week was good.

Thanks for tuning in

My Week: Week 14

Here is Week 14:

My Monday to Wednesday was a tiny bit busy, me and my partner went to Teesside Park on Monday and did some shopping, went to see The Host on Wednesday (which was quite good, see my post for my thoughts).

I has a recipe list as I was making a hot cross bun treacle tart for Easter Monday, I also had to send a condolence card to my friend as she recently lost her mother. Took my stepson, and goddaughters to Splatt which is a local pottery/soft play place. My partner got a voucher from groupon for three kids to go into the soft play area so we took them along, and Sunday was a chill out day (we enjoyed the nice weather in the conservatory while reading)

 

Here is my hot cross bun treacle tart ( I found the recipe at my local Sainsbury's store, you can also find it on their website).

Thanks for tuning in.

My Week: Week 13

Here is Week 13:

Week 13: 1st Half

The first section was quite quiet, made my first order on Cult Pens (Love this website), made a recipe list as I was making Creme Egg Cupcakes for my family when they came for a visit for Easter on Saturday.

Week 13: 2nd Half

As you can see my second half got a lot busier, it was pay day so an order was made to Artbox (love the rilakkuma stuff very cute) I also made a list of kindle books I wouldn't mind getting for April.

The big event of the week was of course Easter, but Doctor Who was back (I love Doctor Who)

Creme Egg Cupcakes

And here is my Creme Egg Cupcakes, they didn't turn out like I wanted them too but have made notes for next time.

Thanks for tuning in

First foray into Filofax template making

I decided to have a go at making my own insert for my Filofax. I decided on an ingredient list as me and my partner are always cooking or baking something and with Easter coming up its always a good thing to have to jot down the ingredients that you might need.

Thanks to Philiofaxy for the advice sheet on how to print pages for the personal Filofax they helped immensely.

As you can see I had some mishaps with printing and was close to giving up with the whole thing

My first 3 mistakes (Doh!)

So when I'd nearly given up with the whole thing I had a eureka moment and managed to print it of and make it double sided.

The finished template



This should come in handy when I'm needing to go shopping for ingredients.

Thanks for tuning in.
