Bake Bake Bake Away

As I'm not the most creative person artistically, the only thing I seem to well is cook. As I am waiting till my birthday for my sewing machine :) and I dont have enough time as yet to do my furniture restoration course, I am setting a goal to bake something every week. Other than that my next goal is starting to go to more garage sales and deceased estates and start getting more furniture and less dresses! This week I am only bidding on one dress a beautiful 1940's style black wool dress with braclet sleeves and a small pleated low skirt. Quite flapperish but very fitted. I have a few vintage jewellery buys that I have my eye on, including a marcasite brooch watch that stevie said he'd get for me. If I win any of them, I'll post some pictures later in the week.
I have my appoitments to see my specialists in the next coming weeks, I have my bone scan next wednsday and on the 17th of may I've got my new bone clinic appoitment with a specialist. To wait pretty much only 3 weeks for an appoitment in public health is pretty good! I'm impressed!
I have had a pretty relaxed morning staying in my jimjams till 1pm, I'm going to go into the city in another hour to meet stevie and to get some ingredients for what I'm going to bake tonight. For dinner I'll make steak and charred grilled vegie fajita's, a mexican salad and mexican rice. Nothing too exciting there. But for dessert I think I'll either make chocolate mud cake or strawberry tart with choux flan pastry. Tommorow is going to be my cleaning day, doing the mountains of washing from Pottsville and doing a few job applications for the public service arena. I am waiting another month until I get my free glasses. Im going to get some new prada's very similar to my old ones but they are tiger print, they look dark but you notice the stripes under certain lights, they are a combination of yellow, black and brown. I'm also getting a thick pair of versace's which are heavier than Ive worn of late, grey black with black stripes and diamontees on the sides. I want a pair of olive green blvugari's which have a pink stripe on the edges and pink stones on the temples, they aren't part of the luxiottica range so I can't get them for free, but I'm going to get stevie to have a look at them on wednsday and if he likes them I'll put them on layby.
I'm going into town to do the grocery shopping instead of across the road as I'm really wanting a mango madness fruit sorbet smoothie from boost juice and some pistachio gelati from gelamatiso!I'll meet stevie after when he finishes work at 4pm.
I can't believe we have only been here three months! It seems like so much longer.
Its mothers day next week her in Australia, we'll keep mothers day at the same time in scotland for judy but we got Mum some nice presents. She is always going on about how much she likes my Chanel Chance perfume, so we got her a pack of that with free moistureiser. We also got her an aqua laced singlet/tank top and lil sequinned overshirt/kaftany like top. We also got her a nice embroided tissue holder for her purse, a large amber spotted blown glass vase (which looks like desa) and two candles. The funny thing is her bedroom for the last year has been all african like, and just yesterday she picked me up from work (as her and dad have gone down to pottsville for 2 days) and said how she had bought a new Japanese like bedspread setting! Target, a dept store over here has gone all oriental and they have lovely silk japanese and chinese bed themes at the momment (http:www.target.com.au ):Great!
I was going to bring the vase back but then decided that It would match nicely with her non formal longue room where she has a lovely brown/cream and blue scheme.I'm going to take mum to lunch as stevie is working during the day (its a sunday) and will make her creme caramel which she loves.
I'll post some pics later!
