And so it begins.......

As a personal challenge and part of lent, I have decided to give up crisps. To most people this wouldn’t appear that hard, however with me, crisps are like other people’s addiction and craving for chocolate. I can’t remember a time where I haven’t had crisps and they haven’t been in my life (dear me I am making them sound like a person). When I was in school I used to have up to 4 packets of crisps a day!!!! Since I’ve gotten older I have cut down on that amount. I am surprised I am not really that fat. When I was eating these 4 packets a day I was training about 3-4 times a week in Badminton, so I think I just burned it off.

The first day without crisps yesterday went fine. I didn’t crave them at all and I was ok at lunch time as well when I normally have my packet of the day. Today is proving a bit harder. I would like to have a packet but I will say NO. One of the guys in work was ever so cruel and took two packets of crisps and waved them either side of my head, saying I was seeing things and I know I wanted them. I WILL NOT GIVE IN!

Aaaaargh lunch time is almost here and I would love some crisps. This could just be because I am hungry more than anything else. Let’s hope that I will be fine once I have had my lunch.

Ok I have had my lunch, I still feel a bit hungry but more satisfied and I am not really craving crisps, so that’s something :0)

VW Bus Birthday Cake

It’s that time of year again the fantastic Mr Bus’ birthday.   Now last year I decided to design and make him a digger cake, this year of course I had to equal that effort or go one better.   I had a few ideas in the pipeline and decided to ask the Birthday boy what he would prefer.   We went with a VW Bus cake. Now I started with baking a lemon drizzle loaf cake, whilst this was cooling had the daunting thought this was not going to be high enough, so baked another lemon loaf cake, this time without the drizzle, so that I could square off the top to sit the other one on top of it.   After these had cooled down, it was time to build, placing the loaf cakes one on top of the other with a layer of vanilla butter cream in the middle, I covered the cakes all over in butter cream.   I then set about with the icing.   I thought it best to start with the white top and draped it over the cakes, just leaving enough for a slight overlap at the bottom. ...

Like to Graze?

Well, I have started to try and be healthier, mainly with making my portions smaller and doing some exercise. I now try and go for a run once a week (to start with) and my sister and I now attend Aquafit every Thursday. The other evening when I went to one of my fantastic friend’s house I noticed these delicious looking healthy snacks on her table, brimming with flavour and healthy goodness. I just had to ask her about them. They come from a company called Graze, which is online. You can order boxes from them (a snack box or a nutrition box) which will be delivered straight to you either weekly or every other week, for a small cost (cheaper than buying it all from a supermarket for sure). The box is small enough to fit through your letter box as well, so you don’t have to worry if you’re in or not. Also you can tell them when you’re going to be on holiday so they won’t send you a box during that time. These boxes are filled to the brim with goodness, and contain things like nuts,...

Weston Hall Afternoon Tea

Well if you haven’t guessed I do enjoy an afternoon tea even though I don’t have a sweet tooth.   For my last birthday my lovely friend Fordy got me two vouchers for afternoon tea at Weston Hall , Stafford.   Having a browse on line beforehand this looked like a marvellous setting. We arrived at this lovely building which was very picturesque the only down side was that it was quite close to a main road and this spoiled the view a bit but the noise levels weren’t too bad.   We headed into the Cellar restaurant where our afternoon tea was booked and showed into the lounge area where we would be having it.   Mr Bus and I chose some lovely sofas to sit on next to the fire, although it was the end of May we went the weather was still cold and wet so this was welcome. For our afternoon tea we could choose from a range of teas or coffee and we opted for Assam, being one of our favourites.   We were expecting to wait a little while and started to have a nose at...
