Bank holidays, I hate them! They are just another excuse for things not to get done, we are waiting on a few things to happen, one of them being to do with a bank so as the title of the day suggests, this just wont get done. Also they mess around with This Morning schedule and I do like a bit of This Morning, think it stems back to my childhood where This Morning meant DAY OFF!!!

Anyway with the kids all home its been a fun day, after all the usual boring chores etc we decided a tent was required in the house.  So we spent a little time scouting about for the best place, which in the end was under Oliver's (6yrs) midi sleeper bed.  The tent is fabulous and still standing actually, even although Elliot (2yrs) is the human equivalent of the tazmanian devil (with slightly less hair and probably just as much slobbers).  So they played in that for a bit and then we got hungry...usually when we get peckish on a day off its cake or biscuit making time but our oven packed in last week and still waiting on getting it fixed so that wasn't an option UNTIL I remembered the 5 min choc microwave cake my sister told us about.

4 tbs flour
4 tbs sugar
3 tbs cocoa power
3 tbs milk
3 tbs oil

all into a mug, mix and into microwave on full heat for 4-5 mins (hope thats everything)

This was followed almost immediately by 2 full bowls of fruit salad each, I sometimes wonder why kids are blessed with teeth ??? they never chew their food anyways ...

So that was all thats new today, it was a kid day rather than work day so not much R&R news from me.  I had an email this morning from a lady in America asking if she can write an article about us on her fashion blog, which is always nice! and mum emailed me earlier with some other very exciting news which I need to keep quiet about just now, honestly though if she wasn't reading this blog, like right now, I would just spill but I can't so it will be news for another blog.
