Have your cake & eat it!

I am so, so, so excited for my 18th. I have a lovely meal planned downstairs of Black Sheep which is beautiful, with family and close friends. (It will also be the first time my parents meet the boyfriends parents, eeeeek!) Followed by drunken antics around town.

Once again I've asked for a beautiful cake to be made. Last year I had a fairy castle which took Mum 3 days to make. This year I found a beautiful cake in a book I bought her for Christmas:

It looks absolutely gorgeous, and I can't wait for my Mum to attempt it. So far she's spent around £40 on icing to make 90 roses. 

(They look absolutely amazing, especially for an amateur of cake making!) 

I will update with pictures of the finished article after my birthday!

Valentines day.

This year will be my first year of having a valentines (awwww) and I'm excited to do the coupley thing of a meal etc. We've decided that we are going to make gifts for each other rather than buy some cheap crap from a shop. It's a lot more thoughtful and I love receiving personal/home-made gifts.

I was a little lost on what to make as we don't have many pictures together/souvenirs from days out so a scrap book was totally out. I came across a cute idea on a DIY blog.

I thought this was perfect as I could really personalise it to us. I'm excited to get started. Probably seems a bit cheesey? But I would definitely prefer to receive something like this rather than chocolates.

My boyfriend does not help healthy eating. Failed after what, 1 day? I have no will power. Starting again today. i have 1 month to get slimmer for my birthday. Bring it.

Time to change and lose this stupid weight, I am becoming hideous.
