Blackboard paint

We decided that it'd be cool to paint our cellar door so it was a blackboard... blackboard paint is the messiest stuff in the whole world!! It gets absolutley everywhere and is BLACK so super obvious! I've just spent the last 30 mins clearing up the kitchen and myself - I even had black smears on my face - glad I caught that before I go to the Christain freshers BBq later!

Went to boots yesterday to get photos printed for the study and a) didn't notice they had instant photo booths so had to wait around for an hour and b) ordered the wrong size so the whole exercise was pointless!

Off to do maths planning now...

New term

So back to school 2 weeks ago: new kids (who are lovely) and new kitchen (that we spent all summer putting in!)

Last post was about the cake for Kays wedding. I've now been asked to do one for Lois and Andrew's wedding so thats really exciting.

Beth and Kate - despite having moved to Manc in May(?) are now moving to Sheffield around Christmas. Yay!! Even closer to me :-D

B moving house, K getting married!

Beth moved back to Manchester this weekend. Its a really nice flat - more room than the last one and much better looked after. Its gonna be so nice to have her so close as well - Brighton was a million miles away.

I took my final trial run cake to hers and it went down very well even though we had to cut it with a fork as all the knives were packed!

Looking forward to the wedding - got a new outfit, Liz is coming down, its gonna be great. But I am still a little worried about the cake - I know it can be better than any of the versions I've made so far - although it is pretty amazing! I just hope Fridays version is the best yet :-D

BTW the cake comes from the best cake website in the world The showstopping cakes calendar
