Insert title here……..

Oh my word, is it really the end of November….it can't be.  It really is true the older you get the quicker the time goes.

Well, I have just over three weeks left in work before Christmas Holidays and then starting my Maternity leave.  In some ways this has come about really quick and in others not so much.  At the moment I think the impending arrival of Baby Bucko hasn't quite sunk in and I am concentrating on Christmas first.  I am sure when that is done reality will start to hit.

Don't get me wrong I am very excited about meeting our little one and becoming our own little family with the fantastic Mr Bus, but it is scary as you can never really know how your life is going to change until it does so.  I don't think I am not looking forward to any aspect of becoming a mother, there are many more pros than there are cons.

Although I am only 30 weeks pregnant today, I really can't wait to get my body back, its just not mine any more.  Although being pregnant is a wondrous thing and the feeling is amazing, at this stage it is also getting tiring and hard work.  You really do think if picking something up off the floor is truly worth it or not.  I suppose I am feeling it more so at the moment as I have a terrible cold to boot, and its not making things any easier.  When you're already getting out of breath quickly, to then have congestion problems due to a cold on top it's not much fun.

The fantastic Mr Bus and I have decided not to find out the sex of our baby either.  I think because it's our first and we really don't care what we have, it will be nice to have a surprise.  Some people say it helps you get more organised and prepared, what a load of tosh unless you plan on subjecting your child to gender stereotypes, which I certainly will not if I can help it.  This is shown clearly with the nursery.  We have left the car wall stickers up from the previous owners of the house as we liked them and they are staying, we have also incorporated the Safari animal theme into the room.  This is great as they are all bright colours which babies respond best to, rather than blooming pastel shades!!!  So we're going with a safari park theme, woop woop.  (Really want to inject some dinosaurs into the room as well…Jurassic Safari Park??…)



Anyway, this wasn't going to be a pregnancy blog post…ha.  Kind of hard to avoid when you're living through it.  I was going to say how much I am missing the Domestic Sluttery blog.

This was a fantastic blog by some fantastic ladies, and although I will admit I was a bit lazy keeping up with their posts, they were always interesting and had something for everyone, I will have to have a trawl of the internet when on leave to see if I can find an equally good blog.

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend.  Who would have thought it?  We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house.  Goodness knows.  Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other.  I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons.  I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all.  Also she doesn’t judge.  I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...

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. ...

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 ...
