So J is off skiing near Mont Blanc next in Courmayeur Italy he will need a good quality Ski Jacket I didn't want to hire them through the school mainly for the fact they can end up going skiing next year so of course I wouldn't want to end paying more in hire costs over two years so I am buying my own equipment. So I just J does some proper skiing and I am not paying £750 to build really expensive Snowmen and Snowladies!.


I coxed J with some Chocolate and he was happy to have his picture taken. I am detecting an evil smirk are you?


I was utterly delighted that I got sent this Ski Jacket for J fashionable and Funky and he will be sure to be seen on the Ski slopes.

Cool looking snowboarding jacket for boys from Protest in an apple green check that has a removable hood, snow skirt, adjustable cuffs and lift pass pocket.

Move over Nigella Lawson there's a new domestic godess in town?

Move over Nigella lawson  with your heaving bosoms pouting at the camera and generally getting the male population very worked up and for even making sprouts seem sexy.

I  can do sexy  alas no pictures of me pouting at the camera , lovingly stroking the spoon..



And what you don't see off camera is the fact that Nigella kitchen really does look like this when attempting to cook Christmas biscuits!.



 I used Pro cook Star cookie cutters. And this is the first time I have cooked biscuits and they have not burnt want one ?


12 days of Christmas!

Its the beginning of Advent and of course the silly Season. You might heard this before but it is always worth a another giggle at !!

Schwartz Mulled Wine

Yes Yes I know it's only November and the Grinch patrol may nail me to a Christmas tree but I couldn't resist this.






















I added the two sachets and 200ml of water and kept it not quite boiling for ten minutes.



An arty shot of the mulled wine with sliced Orange.



It is well worth buying these satchets if you like mulled wine as its not to overpowerig there is a more powerful recipe on their website that involves orange juice and Brandy!.




Thanks to Schwartz for sending a Christmas care  package to do this even down to the orange. And don't laugh they even sent  me the ingredients to make cookies which I shall be making later this week.

Blog Comments!

So you are a blogger, you may not be word perfect. Your blog is out there and you are doing it for you , you must remember that. After all you can take part in countless Meme's its all good fun but when the dust has settled after your fun what are you left with?.

I try and balanced my own blog with more posts these days about things that matter to me such as education, autism etc. Do I get comments do I heck , well a few . Does this bother me well actually it does. I have had countless great advice that comments don't matter you are blogging for you. Well I am sorry I am blogging for more than me, I do hope that what I say occasionally matters. And I hope that on occasion people might say you have really helped me, which they have on the odd occasion.

 Some blogs quite rightly so gets lots of comments are and hugely popular because they are great blogs. I do wonder if a great blogger wrote a piece say about how ' they  hate grated cheese in sandwiches' would they get lots of comments. I may be bleating on but it's my blog and it's my rules now isn't it?

I have come to realise that asking people to comment on my blog in order to enter a competition is wrong for me. So excuse me while I go off and right my next blog piece after ' How I hate grated cheese in sandwiches'

Rant over for now.....

Ps. Pop here so you can learn how to comment on not just this blog but others if you don't know how !
