Happy Valentines Day. My day has started off rather spectacularly after being showered with diamonds from G, how wonderful! He's bought me a lovely diamond heart shaped necklace and I'm absolutely thrilled with it :-) In return I made him a rather complicated heart shaped cake. Being as I'm not a great chef this was a rather large project for me, and has taken me the best part of 2 days to complete. First I made a heart shaped sponge, then covered it with butter icing, then with a pink fondant icing, then put white chocolate buttons around the edge, and finally wrote on it with some white icing and surrounded it with paper hearts of different shapes and sizes. I figured that it would be a thoughtful present as really there's not alot of a romantic nature you can get a bloke on Valentines Day. Anyway he likes it alot :-) Who says romance is dead!
This afternoon we have D's birthday party to look forward to (!). My attempt at cleaning the house yesterday afternoon failed spectacularly after falling asleep on the sofa for 3 hours, so it has to be done this morning and I can't get out of it. Bum. Then I have a house full of screaming 5 year olds for 2 hours. Argh.
