OMG have you seen teh bedding !!!!

With a matter of months before the London 2012 Olympic Games The merchandise is on sale and i am loving it. Whether you are lucky enough like me to be going to the Olympics this year there is a  great range of merchandise on sale. I am lucky enough to be seeing water Polo in August thanks to Cadburys ... so i am sure i will be buying some merchandise soon enough the hard part is choosing what i want as i love pretty much all of it and below is some of my favourites from the selection currently on sale now.

These towels are just fab so even if you find yourself not going the Olympics sporting these at your local sports centre will show everyone how you are supporting the  Team GB and if you not as lucky as me to have Tom Daley practising at your Local Swimming pool then i am sure other people will like them too. Wont be long before my kids will be using these i am sure just need to save my pennies first as £18 they are not cheap for a mum on a budget like me.

Now these are just a mere few of my favs so far coming in sizes single double in the Flag linen ranging from £30, £45 and in the Wenlock Queens Gaurd Linen coming in size single only at £30.00 .... But i have found quite a few stocklist around is worth shopping around as prices can vary quite a bit

Herman The German Friendship cake

Going to have a go at making this thanks to this site right here

Herman The German Friendship Cake

Hello, my name is Herman.
I am a sourdough cake. I’m supposed to sit on your worktop for 10 days without a lid on.
You CANNOT put me in the fridge or I will die. If I stop bubbling, I am dead.

Day1: Put me in a large mixing bowl and cover loosely with a tea towel.
Day 2: Stir well
Day 3: Stir well
Day 4: Herman is hungry. Add 1 cup each of plain flour, sugar and milk. Stir well.
Day 5: Stir well
Day 6: Stir well
Day 7: Stir well
Day 8: Stir well
Day 9: Add the same as day 4 and stir well. Divide into 4 equal portions and give away to friends with a copy of these instructions. Keep the fourth portion.
Day 10: Now you are ready to make the cake. Stir well and add the following:

•  1 cup sugar
•  half tsp (teaspoon) salt
•  2 cups plain flour
•  2/3 (two thirds) cup of cooking oil
•  2 eggs
•  2 tsp vanilla essence
•  2 cooking apples cut into chunks
•  1 cup raisins
•  2 heaped tsp cinnamon
•  2 heaped tsp baking powder

Mix everything together and put into a large greased baking tin. Sprinkle with a quarter of a cup of brown sugar and a quarter of a cup of melted butter. Bake for 45 minutes at 170 ‐ 180C.
When cold cut into finger pieces. The cake freezes well and is also delicious warm
with cream or ice‐cream.

Starting Your Own Herman

Ingredients:

• 460g flour
• 500ml milk
• 230g sugar
• 90ml warm water
• 2 tbsp active dry yeast

Instructions:
Sprinkle 1tbsp of sugar over the warm water
Sprinkle the yeast over this and leave in a warm place for around 10 minutes, as it grows to twice its
size.
Mix in the milk, sugar, flour to the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon
Cover the bowl loosely with something like a tea towel
Keep in a warm place and stir. When you are ready, follow the 10 day cycle to make your Herman
cake.

(dont like going out there much now ) and my new Samsung Eco bubble will have its on space and i cant wait to use it has its in my living room at the moment and i cant stop looking at it plus my mum is on a countdown as my christmas tree goes up soon and i need the washing machine in as one my old has pretty much died and i need the space for my tree ......

Todays UFC Update in Brief

Had a little workout in the end today but i made sure i kept off my knee as its a bit sore after last night so i failed one of my workouts but i rather that then hurt my knee any more but he is a quick overview in pictures on how well i performed today .... But as  you can see i did not too bad overall today another few calories burned and with the 7 mile walk i did and 20 mins of zumba i am on fire today off to go and eat some Blueberries now .....

UFC Update and midnight walk piccys

Please check out the Trailer above to see what its all about 

Well like i promised it was slow start for me playing this game and working out as i have been very busy with kids and work but once i got going i found it very easy to get to grips with and it has great easy controls and settings, you start the game like many others by adding you details like  your age, weight, and sex. Once this has been done you start a fitness test which i can describe as intense but it really shows where you are at with your fitness and it pushes you to you limits that is for sure example of the fitness test are seeing how many sit ups as you can for one minute, and then do the same for push-ups and then jumping hacks. After all that you are ask to check your heart rate which the kinect explains how to do that very well ...... I was placed at beginner but i am fine with that and i like to work up also .......... Another plus is that using the Kinect its all voice activated so you can talk your way through the menu screen which is great ...

The  different activities you can carry out are Workouts, Activities, Programs, Quick Workout, Multi-player Games, and Player Tracker which i check quite often lol ...... Once you are selected workout you get a choice of selecting different trainers based on there abilities so there work outs are similar but differ a little in order and what they focus first, each have a around 20 different workouts can get alot harder  after a while .... they last around 15- 20 mins (which is enough for me lol )  as even for a intermediate level you will be sweating and puffing in no time lol .......

well that is enough about the game for the moment i will feature more on it later ..... i might miss my training today as after my midnight walk and Zumba last night i am quite tired today only having around fours hours sleep as i had to get up for the kids today but here are some piccys of the the midnight walk and please dont forget to sponsor me here please you still can ........

And if you want to find out more about my MCV UFC challenge you can keep up to date and read about it here and catch up with all the other details on MCV Website too and see who else is in the running as well .....
