House Move


Well the fantastic Mr Bus and I have moved into our first home together and I have to say it’s gorgeous.  The move went smoothly, a little too smoothly and when we woke up after our first night we were greeted to a moving in present from the house, being a leak coming through the kitchen ceiling!!!  After a few phone calls I managed to persuade Mr Bus to phone his friend Roy:

Mr Bus: Hey mate do you know any plumbers

Roy: You’re speaking to one

And within the hour Roy to the rescue, however, in order to find said leak we had to go in from the bottom and part of the kitchen ceiling was ripped off, didn’t take much as it was plasterboard and sodden.  Looking at it, it couldn’t have been leaking very long.  Roy managed to find the leak, which was a tiny hole in a pipe, not on a join or anything so just a dodgy batch of pipework, just one of those things.  After a week with a temporary fix Rescue Roy was back and fixed it properly for us, so all that’s left is to redo the kitchen ceiling and I will have my gorgeous kitchen back.
 
 

Also when we moved in the first thing I had to do was strip off the dreadful word “art” that donned a couple of the walls, in the Bedroom was sickening “To Make Your Dreams Come True Just Wake Up” bleurgh and in the bathroom “Happiness is a Hot Shower” purrrlease!!!  Luckily they hadn’t painted them on but used the tacky stickers and they came off no problem.  Apart from that, beautifully decorated and we have already put our own mark on the Lounge with a print above the fire place that the fantastic Mr Bus gave me for my Birthday. 
 
 

 The next exciting thing on the agenda was the arrival of our sofas which are super comfy and I love to cwtch up on them with the fantastic mr Bus.  I am sure there will be more adventures to come with our little DIY projects that we have in mind for our bubble.

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...

The Afternoon Teas Have Returned....Cheltenham

Hurrah, at long last the delightful afternoon teas have returned and it was kick started with a meet up with the Biffa's (self given name for my little group of lovely ladies).  We decided to meet up in Cheltenham as it's roughly half way between Bridgend and Stafford along with being a nice place. We decided to rendezvous at the Cheltenham park and ride.  I have to say one of my main priorities when visiting any where is that they have a decent easy to get to park and ride.  I mean, why battle with the inner town systems of somewhere you haven't a clue when you can just park up and jump on a bus which does the stressful bit for you. On arrival into the town we got our bearings by heading to the nearest decent looking pub and as we were driving the strongest thing we opted for was caffeine.  Still it gave us chance to have a natter, exchange some gifts and decide where we wanted to go and if anyone had anything in particular they wanted to get.     ...
