the great bedding plant challenge.
Oooh, I had lunch with a (very) pregnant friend today (waves to Biff - you're looking great!) and Catatonia (another friend) has been having contractions since Saturday. C'mon babies, lets go!!!!! Lynz wants to buy cute baba clothes!

Same old, same old.
Chookie made these raspberry and white chocolate ones ALL by herself. I just did the fiddly case filling bit. And the oven, obviously. They were delish - she's frozen a couple for in her packed lunch next week.
And these are cinnamon and apple. They were yummy but not a patch on the raspberry ones.
I'm hoping to finally get my bedding plants in today, the rain has FINALLY let up and the sun is out. The race is on!! I need to do the Tesco run, too (ick) and clean out our furry rodent friends. And iron since it's Sunday. *le sigh*

(not so) Lazy Sundays.
There's nothing like warm banana and walnut muffins with your coffee on a Sunday morning. *g* It may never happen again!! I filled the papers more - only got 9 out of the batch but they're much more muffiny looking I think.
We visited Michael and Gerr (and baby Amelia) late morning and Gerr has a wee project she wants me to have a go at. More of that tomorrow, methinks. Exciting! Then we shopped for girlie stuff (more money spent in Monsoon by me and the Chook!) and pretty bedding plants. Ooh, and rattie gubbins. The pet shop had the most darling wee baby rats in. We aaaaw-ed over them something terrible. Then it was tea, cutting the grass, tidying round and we're about to hit the bedtime rush. Glad it's a bank holiday tomorrow!!!

Yum!
I'm still trying to perfect that classic muffin top. Hmph. They were very tasty, though, and I'm fancying banana and pecan for breakfast tomorrow. *g*
Chook and I have been round at Wee Granny's helping Mam spread some chucky stones and get a half barrel in place. Daft auld Papa was digging what appeared to be a big ditch - why we have no idea! We shoved all the soil back into place, flung down the membrane (in a professional gardening manner, natch) got the chuckies down and they're all set to get to the fun plant buying step. My hands are hurting, though, I hate wearing gloves but those stones were sharp! I bet a coffee and a muffin would help them. *g*

My own personal cakewreck. :(
*wails* WHAT HAAAAPENNED?!?!? I got interrupted in the middle of mixing to answer the phone but I could only have been about 3 minutes. Actually, Chookie did most of the mixing. Lets blame her. *mua-ha-ha* They were tasty, right enough, just a bit Yorkshire-puddeny in the visual stakes. Hmph.

Do you know the muffin man....er.....girl?
They are absolutely delish and there's none left now. *g* There's a fair chance that a second recipe could be getting tested this avo!

Strawberry Butterfly Cakes.
P.S. Still coveting those shoes but seventy quid is soooooo much money for stilettos. I'm not really a high heel girl. But they're so niiiiiiice.....
