Today is an absolute NIGHTMARE!!! 
Got barely anything done in the house yet, little one won't let me do anything without following me around asking questions, I managed to burn the cake, there was no ham for my ham omelette despite the fact that I asked boyfriend yesterday when shopping if we had enough for the party and for us and he said yes, apparently the 1 pack we usually buy will cover both the party and us!? WTH!!! So having a red day but so far have had fruit and yoghurt and a veggie omelette!!!
Can't decide whether to make another cake or just salvage what I can of this one, think salvage is the answer as with everything else going off today I can't be bothered.... but then I am a bit of a perfectionist and don't like the idea of people not enjoying my cake.....even if they are a group of 4 year olds who probably don't care!!!!... think I'll check the marg situation, if I have enough for another cake plus buttercream then another cake it will be!
I just want today to be over

Had plenty, only needed to make one cake as the other was fine! So relaxed a bit more now although still have a tonne of things to do, come on here as my boyfriend has just come in and is messing about not really doing much so I'm not going to run around like a headless chicken, if it means we're busy until late tonight then so be it! But I do feel a lot more relaxed anyway (to be fair when I'm stressed more goes wrong anyway)
anyway here's the cake
I'm not happy with it, but I never really like my cakes myself :/ Don't think boyfriend likes it as he was going on about putting stars around it to ''finish it off'' one its like since when did stars have anything to do with dragons and two... yeah because its really easy to just stick stars on it without them falling off! I love him but he really doesn't understand sometimes the work I put into things and at the end of the day I'm far from being a professional. I feel sorry for my mum I used to make cake requests and she used to do a lovely bumble bee which I wouldn't dare attempt myself (It had white chocolate wings which she made herself)

slow but steady!
Cake is looking good Donna I love the dragon!
The McCain baked potatoes are alright - handy for work or emergencies. They aren't any crispier really than making one yourself to be honest.
As for pittas I am not really a fan of them cold do you have a toaster in work you could just pop filling in Tupperware then fill them at work? Or a lot of people like them cold too I just prefer them hot as they are easier to cut and the cheese melts a bit
I have had pittas with loads of things- nice to fill with curry or chilli! Fake nandos is amazing in them too. And of course pitta pizza one of the best uses of a heb and hea yumyum. X

The cake looks awesome Donna! Men don't know wha they r talking bout.
Glad you've arrived Kim hope ur hubby doesn't get too wet x

Cake looks lovely Donna. I agree men are rubbish try to just relax wee bit more. Know its hard tho tryin to organise etc when wee ones pick the wrong day to be clingy
Laura good idea about the pitta. We do have microwaves in work. In the past I have only used pittas to put my chillI in so will need to keep coming up with some more ideas. Even using one of them for my work salad may keep me fuller for longer.
Kim praying weather isn't as bad as expected. Sounds like you guys are all organised.
Clare I would just do what you can at work with meals. More than sure you will burn off lots with your job.
Today has been good food wise. Went to relatives who had made tuna pasta bake and gave me a children's bowl with very small amount of it. Was starting to get down about it as I didn't know syns value so was ready to revert back to my "oh well ruined it so may as well keep eating bad" mentality but I looked it up and split between four servings its 2 syns. I didn't have a serving but will say I had 2 and giving myself 3 syns for the cheese. Not sure if am over or underestimating but honestly the size was like one scoop of a ladel. Just feel better syning it than tryin to ignore it ha. Not had much to eat today but not hungry just now so am happy to see what happens food wise.
Tryin to not get wrapped up in guilt etc this time.
Hope you all have nice weekend...oh I have no wine in either. Good girl x

Thanks everyone glad you like the cake, hope the kids do
I'm relaxed now, haha I apologise but I do get very stressed at times. especially when I'm getting the house ready for people coming over! But we're pretty much sorted, boyfriend will have to go out and get a few extra bits in the morning and need to make sarnies ect. but its mostly sorted.
I am so proud of myself, sat there at his friends party while everyone was eating sausage rolls, pizza, sarnies, buns, biscuits ect... and I ate crabsticks and prawns! I even passed up on some small slices of rocky road!! Which I love!
Let's hope I have the same restraint tomorrow at little ones party

What's wrong Nikki how come your feeling crap and want to lose weight? You sounded so happy calling target?
That's good your almost sorted Donna and well done on restraining yourself
I just did an old weight watcher workout dvd and oh my god...the pace compared to the shred was sooo slow I almost fell asleep. I have come a long way as this workout five years ago had me dying. FEels like I wasted work out time to be honest....please tell me that it wasnt?
Done now and although tad hard at bits it just felt waste time. Even oh said with shred he can hear me bouncing about like mad ha
Go jillain Michaels x

I know how u feel nikki. My dress for tomorrow has cutty out bits in the middle n I feel like I'm podging through the holes :-(

Are you not wearing the dress you showed us or am I getting mixed up? It's rubbish feeling like that. I never ever wear skirts or shorts. Just dresses on special occasions as I hate my legs so much.
Try to have a great time and am sure you will look amazing!!
