Wednesday 16th and Thursday 17th October

Sorry I didn't post yesterday...it was a very long day and I realised I hadn't written it very late, too late to want to write it yesterday. I was going to get it written first thing in the morning, but I wanted to get busy on the various jobs I have to do before we head to Whitby, so it got put to one side again.
Anyway, here is a list of things I did yesterday and the food I ate.

Up at 8.15am
I formatted a new version of my artist friend's calendar for next year.
Then I printed off the images I need to complete a nice order I have got from a lady who runs a shop in Whitby. I need to make 100 badges, 36 car stickers and 20 transfer bags...all on top of the other things I still need to do. Time is running out, but often this is the way I work best...when the adrenaline starts flowing.

The first things I ate were a maple and pecan plait and some crisps at around 12.30pm
Later (around 6pm) I had a smoothy made with a banana, 2 small pots of natural yoghurt and some oats.

I mixed up the icing mixtures I will use to make all the cupcake toppers tomorrow (for the Whitby Kustom stall I am doing on Sat 1st Nov) and gave the kitchen a good clean and tidy, then hoovered the house.

For dinner at 9.30ish I had some chicken korma and boiled rice, and a small (ramekin sized) home made lemon cheesecake (I made a large one for Marcia's birthday and made two small ones with the left over mixture) for afters. Followed by a ready to heat Galaxy hot chocolate.
I stayed up until 1.30am cutting out the images to make the badges. Paul was away for the night with work and I am never keen on having an early night when he is away (although I should take full advantage of a night without snoring...lol).

So on to today...
Up at 8.15pm

Paul is due back today, but he is going to a concert tonight so won't be home properly until the wee small hours.

10.00am -Scrambled eggs with some cheese and tomatoes.

Started making the cupcake toppers...bats, rats, cats, pirate skulls and roses.

Paul popped in briefly on his way back to work (he forgot to take the concert tickets with him yesterday...lol). So I took the opportunity to take a break and have something to eat whilst he was here.
3.30pm - 2 x GF brown toast with some cream cheese on, along with a small amount of re-heated chicken korma left over from last night.







Our organic meat order arrived around 5.00pm so that needed to be checked and put away.

I finally finished the cupcake toppers (well apart from the eyes which I will have to make up some royal icing for), so that is one more job done. Marzipan fingers to make tomorrow!

8.00pm - Beef and ale stew with mash (ready meal again as I didn't want to cook properly just for me)
Small cheesecake for afters, followed by another ready to heat Galaxy hot chocolate (did I mention they have a few mini marshmallows with them?).
I was going to make badges tonight...I really was, but after doing the shopping order for delivery tomorrow and writing this I am now not feeling in the mood to do them. I am feeling really tired (late night last night didn't help I guess) so I am veering towards going to bed and watching some tv...or going to bed and just falling asleep...lol

I will try and make sure I write tomorrow, but things are very hectic at the moment so I hope you will forgive me if I forget. If I do forget I will catch up as soon as I can.
