Saturday 29th October - Bake day...FAIL

Gaz was up at 6am and got ready for his boating licence....i lay snuggled up in bed, just like he does when i go to work...it was bliss! He said the day was very boring and didnt get home till 3pm. There were 16 people on his course and the clever clogs was the first to finish the theory test at the end and was the only one to get 100%. Am very proud of him! He is now the proud owner of a boat licence!

I spent the day cleaning the house and sorting out some paper work. I thought it would be nice to cook Gaz this treacle sponge pudding he had been bleating on about for the past 2 weeks. I walked over to woolworths and picked up the ingredients and had it all weighed out and ready to go by the time he got home. I managed to mix all the ingredients with a little help from delia smith and  loaded the mix into a pudding steamer that Gaz had bought from Big W last week. Hmm...it said it had to go into a saucepan and be steamed....but we didnt have a saucepan big enough so i was trying to improvise. I had told gaz the steamer pot with the mix in was at an angle because it wouldnt fit in the saucepan we had and he told me to balance it so that it was level or else it wouldnt set properly. I spent the next 5 minutes faffing around with the bloody thing only to try moving the saucepan to a smaller hop when BANG CRASH AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Gaz leaped out of bed and immediately ran down the stairs to see what the commotion was about. The handle on the saucepan had broke causing it to fall off the hob, boiling hot water splashed my belly and the treacle sponge pudding (still in liquid form) fell all over the floor. Gaz was concerned that i had burnt myself but i was more concerned about the mess on the floor :( We took a picture to portray the devastation. I have made a pact that i am NOT cooking anything else on Gazs request...he keeps picking the hard things to cook and we dont have the right utensils. ill stick to cupcakes!!!

we have been for a drive in the car and around the corner from our house was a childrens Halloween festival with belly dancers dressed as witches and little kids dressed up as ghosts and ghouls...was nice to see the community spirit...that was until a big mean ant bit my foot - OUCH!

We have just devoured a pizza from the eagle boys pizza place and are snuggled in bed watched arrested development.
