A "Lush" Saturday morning

Good morning!

It's beautiful today, a cloudless blue sky and when I stepped outside it was gorgeously warm! Don't warm sunny days just make you feel so much better?

Was having a lazy morning in bed, with Am beside me watching Milkshake on the tv when there was a knock at the door! Arrrgggghhhh still in my pj's with bunches in my hair, I tried to think who it could be and was it worth a mad dash downstairs? "Haven't ordered anything that would be arriving today" " could be one of J's friends seeing if he was playing out, but it's only 8:30" Knock again, quickly pulled off my pj's, picked up yesterday's clothes I'd dropped on the floor, too tired to do anything else last night, and pulled them on. Ran downstairs, opened the door, it was the postman, with my Lush goodies, I only ordered them yesterday at 2:12! The postage said if ordered before 2 it could be nextday with Royal Mail (but we all know what Royal Mail are like don't we? Obviously not!) So wasn't expecting them till Monday or Tuesday. Bonus, I'm very impressed with their service, they had even put in 2 extra items to try, an Ultrabalm for lips or any dry area and a devine smelling bath fizzer bomb thing, don't know what it's called though.

I've never tried any Lush products before so looking forward to using them, they all smell gorgeous!

I ordered:

Lovely Jubblies, hoping it can firm the old boobies a little

Lemony Flutter, my cuticles need some tlc

A Lurverly Balistic, was seduced by the mention of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair lady

A trial Charity Pot of hand cream

After that lovely surprise we got up for breakfast, Am had dry rice krispies, a brioche and a banana and milk, J and I had an American waffle with sliced banana and maple syrup yummy, I treated myself to an "pot" of tea in my cute teapot I bought in Belgium when my Mum lived there. Put Jack Johnson on the iPod, to add to the summery feeling.

Hope your Saturday is full of sunshine and surprises x

Dinner

Hey,

I'm loving the blog world and loving the fabulous blogs I'm reading.

Tonight the other half made dinner for the two of us. I fed the little un's earlier, a kind of store cupboard meal as, the bacon I was going to give them was out of date grrr. I boiled some pasta and cut up some ham and fried it with some mushrooms then made a roux sauce and added chicken stock and cream, when it was all cooked I mixed it all together. Anyway it went down well with J having 3 platefuls, this being 9 has stimulated his appetite.

So my tea was, chicken tikka masala, made with all the spices as prepared by Mr Sainsbury's. All the spices were in individual packets and you add them to the extra ingredients; chicken, tomatoes and ginger and cook it all up into a whole lot of yumminess, oh of course we had rice with it.

May not look too nice but believe me it was deeeelicious!

So what did you have for dinner tonight?

Hello

Well hello,

First blog (as a human, I've blogged as a rabbit before!!) Lets hope I keep this one up longer than the 4/5 posts the rabbit did!

Not too sure what my blog is going to be about yet, probably a ramble about this and that, my passions, my family, day to day life. Life is a rollercoaster so hope someone will join me!

Yesterday was my "baby" boy, J's, 9th birthday, OH my, that made me feel old, I hasten to add I'm not THAT old though. We started the day early, ripping open presents and cards, followed by breakfast. J was desperate to open them all and play but needed to get ready for school, as usual we were running late. Luckily the other half was off so popped him over the road , yes I live very near the school but am still always late!

We all then got ready and went of to Toys r us, as one of the very treasured presents J got was being kidnapped by his 3 year old sister, much to his displeasure. So we bought her one too, a Tails figure, as in Sonic the Hedgehogs mate with 2 tails. The things you have to do to keep the peace eh?

Got home and made J's birthday cakes, I stole the recipe from another blogger who made them look and sound totally irresistible and they were so thank you Loveaudrey, J loved them!

J's birthday treat, chosen by him was going to the cinema to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3D, WOW what a fab film, I was in tears though as the nightterror dragon, Toothless reminded me so much of our cat, Suki, who died almost 3 years ago, she had the fearsome attacking side but catch her right and she's be all loving then she'd take your hand off for no reason, I miss her!

Is it just me being soft and seeing things in "childrens" films? Or does everyone have a cry at them?
