My first loaf!

Wow well my first attempt at bread making has turned out pretty good.

It sounded hollow when tapped on the bottom.

So the next test will be in the tasting once it has cooled down. 

Bread making

So the last few weeks Andy has really got into making his own bread which is so much nicer than shop bought bread and it costs roughly 30p a loaf to make.

This morning he's decided to get me to make it under his supervision.

As I write this the dough is on it's first hour of proving. 

I love nothing better than being in the kitchen baking something but it's normally finding the time to get into the kitchen to bake I have the problem with!!!

Below was the first loaf Andy made a couple of weeks ago!

 

I hope my first attempt comes out as good as his!!!

Its finally finished

Hurray after a long two stressful months we have finally got the lounge wall papered!

My lovely dad and husband spent all afternoon doing it and boy was it a fiddly job. Our walls are not exactly in good condition and where we thought there were bubbles it was actually the condition of the walls behind.

Now all we need to do is order our new corner sofa, up cycle our sideboard and get a new table lamp and we are done! It's only taken us two months when it was only meant to take a week.

No it's mummy to you!

So my darling little boy has hit the stage where he's calling us Andy and Vicki. 

It can be funny at times but when he starts shouting your names in middle of town, you do get some funny looks. Ihave started telling James that I won't answer to anything other than mummy. 

Still he has the butter wouldn't melt look on his face when he's doing it so he knows he shouldn't be. We have Andy off work on holiday this week so hopefully going to get out and about.

Today was a relax and chill day but later in week we are hoping to go to Baltic, the discovery museum and if we have time maybe the national glass centre, sunderland museum and the winter gardens.

Oh and we are finally getting the lounge wallpapered tomorrow!!!!

Back to Toddlers

So after a crazy summer where we haven't been able to get to our toddler group, today we are finally getting to go back.

James is so excited to be getting back and mummy is looking forward to being able to sit down and chill while James is playing with all the toys!

Will report after how it was being back
