Coffee morning

Today went well. We got everything set up nice and early and one of the women working in the pub suggested donations instead of set prices for everything. This worked out perfectly! Instead of 50p here and there we had people giving 5-10+ pounds for some stuff. The jams sold rather well and anything left over is being kept in the fridge and is being sold tomorrow by another member of staff. People LOVED my cookie monster cupcakes and there was only one left. Saw the effects and they don’t half make your tongue go blue lol All in all was a great day (most of the time) we had a moment of unpleasantness where someone interfered and told a bunch of kids the cakes were free of charge and just being given away so like 15 kids came in and took cakes and we only got 20p off one girl as it was all she had. The woman knew EXACTLY what she was doing as she was of those people who has to be the centre of attention and if not she deliberately ruins what she can

Baking

So tomorrow is my mum’s McMillan coffee morning and mum and I spent like 7 hours baking and decorating cakes. Pictures to follow but now they’re all done and ready for tomorrow. Hope we get loads of people coz me and mum don’t want to bring a single cake home. We don’t want to see another cake for some time J These are some pictures of what we made. I was chief cake maker though mum made some too and she was chief decorator though I did some too (like the cookie monsters eyes and fur with mums help… couldn’t get the fur colour right though with a whole bottle of food colouring lol)

Just remember

So a lot of people on twitter and such admit to self harming, or complain about how they look but what peope never remember is they are gorgeous. You don't have to be stick thin with bright blonde hair and pearly white teeth to be pretty. Everyone feels ugly at times it's part of growing up but there will ALWAYS be someone out there who loves you for who you are.

Take me for example: I'm a size 16-18, my hair looks awful as I'm growing the hairdye out and I hate taking photos of myself and when I do take photos I go through loads before I find ones I like.
Some days I hate how I look and it just mkes me want to cry. Other time I think damn I look good! haha.

Your family don't care how you look and neither do your friends and who cares if you're single? I'm nearly 20 and I've never had a boyfriend on bad days yes it does upset me but on good days (which I get a lot) I think who cares? If someone doesn't love me for who I am it's their loss not mine.

To those who self harm because they don't feel beautiful or any other reason just remember there's always someone who will talk to you even if it's  friend you've made online. No one is perfect but don't ever let people feel that you ain't beautiful and that they're better than you because you know something? A beautiful soul is more beautiful than any physical feature someone thinks they have. You are beautiful too & you have a beautiful soul and personality to match which can never be beaten or taken away and that's why some people feel the need to put you down.

So today I have my 3^rd blood test (in the space of like 2 months if that) then I have an opticians appointment so I can have a free trial at lenses to see if my eyes will reject them and to see what it’s like and how much it’ll cost for different types. I’m getting my new glasses Monday but I just want to consider lenses for the future because when I start swimming it’ll help if I have them or I won’t see a thing. Also if I do become a lifeguard being able to see will be a massive help. I can hardly take my glasses with me. They’ll fog up and get water on and smear so I won’t see anything. I suppose the lenses will kinda be just for days and glasses around the evening onwards.

So today I have an opticians appointment for a review then tomorrow I have to have my blood taken (again!) then I have another opticians appointment for a free lens trial. Then the 24^th is hospital for a 2 month review of my catarrh. So many appointments especially as my brother and sister went to the opticians yesterday and my other brother has his today with me. Might get new glasses. Depending on how much lenses are might get them. Cant go swimming with glasses xD

Ok so I've shared it on twitter and google+ but no harm putting it here too. Just a lil vid to show my heros

Baking cakes!

So my mum and I are taking part in the McMillan’s biggest coffee morning and I tested the red velvets and I’ve never made them before and they came out almost perfect (except for the butter cream but it would’ve helped if I’d let them cool down first. Mum’s gonna do the toppings for me) Its not til the end of the month but I will update with another cake blog when I do them and I will post pictures :D

We (my family) all had one each and they’re lovely but because the butter cream was on a warm cake it melted… straight down my bra and all around my mouth and hands! Talk about sticky!
