January Blues

Well I've had a hard week to say the least, it started very nicely spending the weekend with my two favourite men. We went out for lunch on Sunday and Nathan did very well with his lunch, hardly any of it ended up on the floor! He did seem to prefer the carrots to anything else on his plate, I really shouldn't complain about this.

I managed to get two recipes done on Saturday afternoon, a very yummy Chocolate Cups from my Life is Sweet book and a hard candy from the Vintage Teaparty book. The chocolates are all gone but I have popped some in the post to a very lucky lady. The hard candy are still in the fridge as they are very sticky but taste good.

The week soon went bad, had decided to work from home on Tuesday to give myself some time to start the job search when at 10.30am I get a call from Nathan's childminder to say he has been sick and can I come and pick him up. I then have him with me for the rest of the day, luckily the two times he was sick at home was in the kitchen were it is all wipe clean, my kitchen floor has never been so clean!
It is only today that we have not had to clean up any more so he can head back to the childminders tomorrow. Trying to get work done and dealing with a small child do not mix, thank god for my mother in law who did the three hour round trip to look after him today which has helped keep me sane!

So here we are with five days left in January and I have done five out of the eight books and have three left, gingerbread, doughnuts and chocolate eclairs! Am hoping to get the gingerbread and doughnuts done this weekend which just leaves the eclairs. Think I may just do this challenge by the skin of my teeth!
