Pancake Day
I love Pancake day!! Usually we're all in the kitchen tossing our pancakes but this year I decided to make savoury rather than the normal lemon & sugar. So I adapted a recipe & came up with chicken & pesto pancakes. They were a hit with the family except Imran as he just wanted his lemon & sugar!!! Can't please them all can you!
Also sharing with you an altered letter I'd made for a friend's birthday. What do you think?
Our friends' Najma & Soyab came over from California for a flying visit so we all arranged to go out for a meal. It was a great evening with wonderful food.

Snow Days
Hey how great. We finally got a heavy snowfall!! It's been quite a few years since our last real snowfall, the news is saying about 18 years! Wheesh that long really? We've had some snow in the past few years but not "the whole country grinds to a standstill" type!
It all started lste Sunday afternoon. By the evening Hussein & Kaizer were out in the street with the neighbours having their first of many snowball fights.
That night it snowed constantly and we woke up on Monday morning to this:
The news reported that the bus service in London was suspended due to the snow. So obviously that meant no school. Kids were very happy of course.
Their cousins came round a little after 9 and the rest of the day was spent having loads of snowball fights. I did ask the kids to help Imran make a snowman but they were more interested in pelting each other! They even got me a few times till I went back indoors. Then I was on hot chocolate making duty!! Nothing changes eh.
My SnowAngel!

Kaizer getting ready to throw! Thank god it wasn't at me!

Today was a bright sunny day and the snow has started to melt. Kids & I go back to school tomorrow (me for the first time in 3 weeks eek).
But the weather forecast says we may have more snow later this week, up to 10 inches OMG!!!! So Imran might get his snowman after all. Fingers crossed.

Monday
Ok it's Monday and I'm still off work with this persistent cough. Visited the doctor yet again and and the conclusion was for me to go for a chest xray tomorrow. She's also signed me off work for another week.
So while I'm off I've managed to get some scrapping done. And I entered a competition. Don't think I'll get anywhere but at least it got my mojo going.
At the moment I'm thinking of having a go at doing 12x6 los. The size seems really manageable an therefore appeals to me. So if you've done any, can you share your los with me please? Oh and also what album you've used. I'm toying with either American Crafts D ring or a Bazzill one.
I've also just started the second book in the Twilight series. Finding it a little difficult to put down!!!
That's all for now so have a good week. Ciao for now xx

The Cupcake Quiz
Your Cupcake Says You Are Your Own Biggest Fan |
 At parties, you tend to be a social butterfly. You enjoy making conversation and making sure everyone is having fun. You have absolutely no restraint in your life. You live life with reckless abandon. The most important thing in your life is love. You are dominant, vain, and a bit of a show off. To know you is to worship you. |
Well darling hubbie does call me a social butterfly so that bit's spot on!!!

Still ill
Finally got an appointment with my doctor who said my chest was very tight!!! Too right! I feel like an old woman or a 20 a day smoker the way I'm coughing. In fact she asked me if I was a smoker!
So now I'm on antibiotics, steriods AND an asthama pump. Just can't wait to get rid of the cough. It really wears me out.
Went to see a panto yesterday at the Theatre Royal in Stratford. I hadn't orginally planned to go but there was a spare ticket on the day so I joined the staff & pupils at the theatre just before the show started. Imran was chuffed to have me there. It was an enjoyable show. The ice cream was nice too!!
But taking 90 kids on the train was a real experience!!
Looking forward to tomorrow....my favourite day of the week...yes!!!
