Thank you Jenny for the pretty bag for my birthday, it had its first outing today (visit to the bank for the £91.67 from my old student account). Some interesting information on the tag -"The design has been inspired by the floral pattern wallpaper in the parlour at Carlyle's House, 24 Cheyne Row, London. The paper was put up in the early 1950's when the Queen Mother came to tea". I like flowers - they are cheerful :-)
It was raining when we got up so I have had to use the drier again. It has taken a while but all washing, drying and ironing is now DONE! A total of THIRTEEN loads (towels, bed linen, shower mat, internal shower mat, picnic rugs, clothes as I was unable to use the washing machine the past week due to bad weather). I was ironing when Mark left yesterday afternoon and I was ironing when Mark got back this afternoon too.
Anais made peppermint creams when she stayed at Caroline's house and she asked to make some when we got home. When we got back yesterday we popped to Asda for the ingredients, yesterday we made a cake, today we made the peppermint creams. We used this recipe and they were very nice - there would have been more mixture but they ate half of it as they went along making them! We will definitely be making them again, they would make nice presents in a pretty little box.
First we made the mixture, they shaped and imprinted them with a fork and then we put them in the fridge to set. We melted a bar of chocolate and they dipped the creams in the chocolate. Mark said that with the chocolate they tasted like a mint aero mmmmmm.

This afternoon I made cards with the crochet flowers I made when we were in the caravan. I only put "Happy Birthday" on the front of one of the cards so I can turn them into "Get Well" cards for example.
Anais saw me making cards and asked if she could have a go using the free gift we had from the craft show. Roman saw Anais making cards and he wanted to have a go too.
