I realised last week that i still havnt mentioned about Jono's birthday and that last week we went to visit my parents for the weekend. Over the last month we have got to see both sets of parents a couple of times so that has been really nice to catch up with them. While we were at my parents we had planned to try and see if anyone was free and to go to church etc but we were both shattered and enjoyed just relaxing. On the Friday evening Jono went with my dad to the annual Cricket meal and me and my mom had a meatballs and spagetti with was fab.
On the Saturday we popped to Ikea and amazingly only spent about £16. Its far too tempting to go when its only a 5/10 minute drive from my parents house. We did have specific things to buy and stuck to it apart from a new shower curtain. We just needed a plain see through one to put over the tiles part of the shower so it doesnt clash with the other one and such a bargain it was only 85p :-)
After that we popped to Hooties which is a local cash & carry. Its amazing and always try to pop there when we visit. We then took my parents to Makro. There was only an hour before it shut which was a shame as it would have been good to have a good look round at the bargains but will just have to go another time.
On the Sunday we were going to go to church but Jono wasnt feeling 100% with his cold so we decided to have a lazy Sunday morning. I, to my shame watched "high school musical 1 & 2". I missed the odd bits though but got to see most of it. I actually really like it <blush> and made me wish again that id done more with my singing when i was younger. I sang in school concerts but would have loved to have done some musical theatre etc.
Anyway it was soon time to head back and got home around 8.30ish?
In ref to Jono's birthday, there were 19 of us in the end and it was a lovely night. The cake seemed to go down really well. So well in fact that once everyone had got their piece and i gave a bit to the bar staff, there was only enough for Jono's parents to have a slice each the next day when they came to visit. I was really worried about the cake as last year when someone took at bite out of it they pulled a face and put their hand to their mouth as if they were going to be sick. Not what you want people to do when they taste your cooking. Everyone else ate it though and i think (hope) it was just because it was quite rich rather than it being horrible.
It did make me more nervous about making this cake but had to try to stop worrying in the end as at the end of the day it really doesnt matter what they think aslong as Jono liked it (which he did) and that everyone enjoyed the evening (which they seemed to). I will try to work out how to put pics on here to show it you all as (to blow my own trumpet) im quite proud of it.
