Mums 70th birthday ...

What a week its been ...busy and sick ...

Last Wednesday & Thursday I started a new

job..same company but not at the store supervising

or working nights & weekends, but at the Head Office

during the day ... I have been doing both

jobs for the last 2 weeks, training day here, day there ...

and yesterday was my last day at the store...

stocktaking of all things till 11pm ..

Last Thursday I wake up with the dreaded

sore throat which by Friday delveloped into

fevers, chills, coughing ..you know..

the flu !!

I had also done something to my wrist..no idea what ..

Friday was mums 70th Birthday and my brother, SIL

and us were having a party on the Sat night

for her for 35 ...

Friday we took her out for a nice lunch,

then I headed home to prepare..

Saturday morning I wake up to this

I still have no idea what I did ..but think I did a good job
of it  :-)

it was swollen, red & hot and very sore to move..

so after wrapping it up, taking any pain killer

I could find in the house.. which was
 good old nurofen -  for the wrist and flu ..

and now it was party day ..

We had part of it catered for, the other I cooked ..

all finger food .. it was such a  great night

and a great surprise to mum when 2 of our

cousins turned up from Queensland ..we knew they

were coming ..she didnt ...

We  hired a marquee, attached it to the pergola and an outdoor heater

and had it outside.

 Seb Mad & Tyler ..

 me, mum & chris

 mum and me

mum and mad ...

the cake turned out greast after

an emergency trip to the

supermarket for more chocolate

after the first lot of ganache

decided not to work ..so a quick Help

call to Helen to tell me what I knew ..

it was turfed in the bin

and started again ..

I never get sick, but made a good job of it this time

I still have a sore wrist..but getting better

the flu or cough is still hanging on ...
and new job starts from tomorrow ..
