Back in the game!!

Well I didn't post last week - party because my laptop was broken :-( and partly because I didn't feel like I'd done much. But, hey ho, here I am again and I've done pretty well this week :-).

I haven't eaten particularly healthily this week - I've been nibbling on lots of chocolate, but I have managed to get to 1 Zumba and 1 yoga class and I'm still losing inches!! I went for the old classic Jamie Oliver fish pie this Sunday - it was a big one, I used extra fish, cheese and potato. Enough for the three of us + 2 adult portions and 3 baby portions - win!!

I also managed to make multiple cakes - yes, multiple cakes!! My first attempt was a peach and walnut cake with ginger icing. It tastes amazing but looks a massive mess!!! Firstly the cake failed to come out of the pan in one piece, so I patched it together and decided to cover the cracks as best I could with he icing. I made the icing according to the recipe - it looked a bit thin so I added more icing sugar, it still looked a bit this but against my better judgement I thought I'd just go with it. My cake now looks like a disaster! Ah well, it still tastes good. I also made some rainbow coconut cupcakes with rainbow marzipan inside and rainbow coconut on top. I have yet to taste these delicacies.

I had such a wonderful weekend that I didn't feel the need to pamper tonight. My baby has learnt to crawl and say Mama - all in one weekend - such a clever boy!! I am, however taking time to write this blog, which is good.

My other major achievement this week is a 78 for my last university assignment!!! Hurrah! - can't believe I managed such a high score!! 2 weeks till my holiday - can't wait!!
