Fright Night!

Bedtime is supposed to be relaxing. There I was nice and comfy, leaning on my elbow, with puzzle book across other halves side of the bed, trying to think of an answer.  What happens? A giant spider decides to walk over the side of the bed and saunter onto my puzzle book. I don't know who got the biggest fright, the spider who froze or me screaming at the top of my lungs while dancing the bed on all fours. I stop screaming, but I'm still doing a merry dance across the bed, but now I'm wondering, how the hell do I make it to the bathroom to grab a glass. Cause as soon as I stop looking at the spider, it's going to hide. 
Funny, that even if you side look at a spider, it still knows your looking and doesn't move.  So what do I do, I dive to the bathroom, grab glass, open window in 2 secs flat and guess what, when I return, no bloody spider. I shake the duvet, I shake pillows, I even lift the bed, still no spider. I'm now thinking, where the hell am I going to sleep? Cause there is no way, I'm getting back into that bed.  When all of a sudden it scurries across one of the pillows. At this point, the adrenaline is pumping through my body, but I'm thinking, I really wish I had orangutans arms to be able to put the glass over this sucker. One orangutan arm later, the spider is safely in the glass. I'm know thinking, what the hell do I do with it? (I'm not one for killing even the ugliest looking creepy crawlies) So I have to imagine I have a second orangutan arm and slip my puzzle book under the glass( yes the same puzzle book I originally shook the sauntering spider off). All the while the spider is having a fight with its own reflection.  I bound to the bathroom, heart racing, mouth dry and manage to get the spider out of the glass on to the window ledge and slam the window shut, all in one action.

I'm now downstairs drinking a cup of tea, trying to calm my nerves but also thinking, please don't let it's family be waiting for me when I go back upstairs. The End x

Eurgh!

Cough! Splutter! Choke! Sniff!

Eurgh I feel awful! I've been feeling under the weather the past few days, didn't know what the hell was wrong with me. Argumentative one minute, crying the next, feeling cold then hot. That was until I woke up this morning, throat on fire and a body that felt like it had been hit with a battering ram. Yes, I have the dreaded Lurgy! So to make myself feel better I put my pj's on at 3.30pm (ahem! I also have a thermal vest on) a giant cozy house coat and to help me on the road to recovery, I'm eating a tub of Haagen  Daz Strawberry Cheesecake Ice cream, I offered my other half some, but he kindly declined, saying it was my medicine to make me feel better hahaha! . :D Yes, it's for medicinal purposes!   Munch! Cough! Sniff! Munch!

Phew! Think I might have to stand outside now, I can feel a hot spell coming on.  :(

I've Got The Baking Bug!

Faithfully every week I have been watching The Great British Bake Off on BBC2. Well what can I say, a truly amazing programme. It inspired me so much, that now I have the baking bug and decided to make Paul Hollywood  scones, using a pamphlet of recipes from this site Get Baking.

Eight scrumptious scones later, I must say, I'm in heaven. The recipe is well written, easy to follow and the pamphlet contains  lots of tips and tricks about ingredients used.. I could bake till I drop but before I do, I will definitely be making Mary Berry's Victorian Sponge from the same pamphlet. :)
