Busy Week

Well what a busy week this week will be kids being home from school and trying to entertain them took them out to the Plymouth Aquarium last week which was quite pricey but now i have a pass that lets me in for free for the next 12 months which is pretty fab....
 

We also went down to the Barbican where they had HMS Bounty on display which was used in the second Pirates of the Caribbean film the boys thought that was fab, and it gave me a chance to use my new Nikon Coolpix S9100 that i won from TNT Magazine via their twitter comp. The camera is really great and it takes great pictures and the video footage is brilliant and films in HD ill never miss a moment again it now goes every where with me ...



I also won a Union Jack Flip which is so small and handy and will be great if i ever want to film the kids but i don't want to take my camera with me ...always wanted one of these i am such a gadget girl at heart so if anyone out there has a gadget they want me to review i would be happy to help. I also won a competition on Plugged In this week where i reviewed the fridge i bought from Appliances Online if you click here you can read my review that one me a Acer EEE Pad i will be reviewing this once it arrives ..... can't wait, but back to Appliances online if any one has a spare moment would they please check out there facebook page and check out my video and click the like button and leave a comment i am hoping i may get a phone call from them soon and hopefully finally get my wish and get a brand new Washing machine as i am in need of one so badly i have posted a new pic just to show you what is happening to my washing machine being outside in the cold all the time its making the inside of the washing machine go all mildew which is ruining the clothes so i would love to get a new one and have it installed inside the house so this wont happen again ......
So please if you could spare just a moment i would love to be here next week talking about how great my new washing machine is and how a LG Direct Drive washing machine changed my life ....... And if you are in need of a new appliance your self then go to there facebook page and you can also summit your own video plea and maybe you too might be lucky enough to get your wish come true ... as long as i am first ha ha ha well thats it for tonight folks must dash working tomorrow ..... and on Tuesday i have my driving lesson scary .... bought my theory book the other day so might go to bed and do some reading .... night world

RAINBOW CAKE !!! Yummy


This might look hard, but trust me its very simple to do and i will tell you how to do it .....

Cake Recipe

12oz Self- Raising Flour
3 Eggs
250 Grams of Unsalted Butter
8oz Sugar
1 Tbsp Vanilla Essence
1 Tsp Baking Powder
Drop of Milk

(If you find this does not make enough for the tins you are using than repeat but use half the stated quantities so use 6oz of flour 4oz of sugar and so on ) 

Butter Cream Recipe 

6oz of Icing sugar
125 Grams of butter
Milk or a little hot water
1 Tsp of flavouring if you want to 

(Add coco powder to make a chocolate butter cream you will have to add a little bit more butter for this)

Method 

  • Mix all the ingredients into a food mixer or bowl once mixed get five small round cake tins i use 8" tins pour the mixture into the five pans.
  • I use Sugarflair gel food colouring its a little bit more pricey but lasts longer and the colour is so vibrant too. mix a tiny bit of each colour into each pan.
  • pop the cake's into the over on 150f fora round 45 mins or until they looked cooked it worth using a knife or one of those cake testers (must get one of these) to see if the cake is cooked all the way through.
  • Once the cake is baked and cooled down get a sharp knife and cut the top layer of the cake to leave a smooth round finished  and brush of any cake crumbs around the surface. (this works better once the cake has been chilled or left to cool).
  • No you can use either Jam or butter cream spread a layer on to the top of each cake and stack them in order of the colours of the rainbow.
  • Now you need to make the butter cream recipe and once made you have to cover the whole cake , don't worry about any loose crumbs this first layer is used to keep the crumbs at bay once covered leave to cool and set.
  • Now you can use a chocolate butter cream or colour the butter cream you are using to decorate the final bit of the cake .... cover all around the cake either smooth it out or use a choppy effect like mine to add different looks to the cake and you can use hundreds and thousand edible glitter possibility are endless.

Appliances Online And LG here my plea! from a mummy in need!


hi guys this is my story please help me get a new washing machine i am a mum of three and my current washing can't keep up with my family's active lifestyle from school to dancing,swimming and after school clubs my washing pile mounts up all the time. With four beds to clean and towels to wash my pile never seems to shrink  as you can see i am much need for one my washing machine is in there somewhere but this is all i do and i never get any mummy! time and don't have alot of time to dedicate to kids as  my washing never seems to go away My washing machine lives out in the shed so if its raining yes that's right i get wet !!  the reason for this is that it is too noisy and the it keeps the kids up at night because it is always on. But i have seen this great new LG Direct Drive washing machine that is super quite so it can be put inside the house so no more trips out in the garden  it also has a much bigger drum so less washing loads and it can a duvet so no more trips to laundrette if my kids spill a drink or have a accident, some models also feature a Steam Wash that delves deep into clothes with molecules 1,600 times smaller than water (which must be fab for getting stains out and keeping you clothes looking there best). I have also heard some models play music which is pretty cool if i say so myself being a bit of lover of all things quirky i am sure i will like this as much as my kids. Like  i said i am a mum of three so i cant afford a new one at the moment as money can be quite tight but maybe if you like this video you may be able to help me get a new washing machine ........i am sure there is a fairy washing machine mother out there some where .....
If you could go to Appliances online Facebook page and look for my 1st Video and then my 2nd Video and like them and even add a comment on them maybe offering me some personal ironing service would be nice lol (cough cough)  i'm not joking ha ha !!! if i can prove to LG that i am a mother in need then maybe just maybe they will let they just might answer my wish and give me a brand new washing machine......

p.s if they do ill review it for them too and let the whole world know how great they are i am not sucking up of course ..... okay maybe just a little!!!!
