Cars and Jobs

Ok Today is not a Wednesday but a Thursday, much better. I am alone in the office all day, I find this most boring as not only do I have no one to chat to, and I have no motivation to do any work. Also I can not browse the Internet as it’s not working, much to my annoyance. Damn, I don’t think I have any rambling’s to put down either!!!!!!! What am I going to do?!?!?!?!

Why didn’t anyone tell me that as soon as you have a car you never have any money? It’s true and I would warn anybody thinking of buying a car that once this is done there is no going back as it seems a necessity and that you couldn’t function without it. Thinking I was starting to get my finances back on track and my bank balance actually looking a bit healthier, POOF there goes the exhaust on my car, eeep!!!! So I decide to be very sensible and take it in to Kwik fit straight away. I get it there and not only does it need two parts of the exhaust done but also three new tyres and the tracking!!!!!! Sooooo £300 later and I eventually drive my car away thinking, that I do feel safe in my car but once again I have no money, booooo.

Well hopefully within the next month or so I would have had a promotion and so a little more money, but then that starts getting sucked away by my student loan. There is another reason to complain and not be impressed.

Hopefully the promotion will be mine. So unless I do something drastically wrong between now and the time they appoint somebody, or even at the interview, like I insult them all and turn up with knickers on my head, it should be in the bag (still fingers crossed). (August 2008)

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. ...

Digger Cake

For the fantastic Mr Bus’ birthday I decided to make him a digger cake and I have to say I was very pleased with the results, it also took less time to make than I had anticipated. I started off baking a square Madeira cake.  This I then cut in half and placed one half on top of the other to work out the length of the cab, roughly half again.   I used butter icing to hold them together and then placed butter icing all over for the ready to roll icing to go on top.  With the extra square of cake left from making the main body and cab of the digger, I scooped out the middle section to create the digger bucket, then covered this in butter icing and ready roll icing on top. I iced the main body of the digger and the bucket and then attached the bucket using two rolls of icing for the arms.   I used a food colouring pen for the initial detail on the digger and filled the bucket with rainbow drops and popping candy.   I placed melted...

A Year On

I tend to not like to blog too much about serious things, as it can all get a bit bogged down. However, I would like to reflect on the past year, and truly I must say that everything happens for a reason. My 30th year started in disaster with what was meant to be a lovely trip to Rome with my boyfriend at the time, which was on my list of places to visit since goodness knows when. Instead we got to Rome and I got dumped and found a person who I considered a friend was truly the opposite. Still we managed to make the best out of a bad situation and I still got to see the things I really wanted to see but obviously my heart wasn’t in it and I was reluctant to throw my euro into the Trevi fountain not particularly wanting to return at that point. The next few months passed in some what of a blur, but luckily I have amazing friends who were there for me and pulled me through. I kept myself busy and developed quite the social life for myself and so I was never left to mull in my ...
