Dad! Please! NO MORE STARTREKDOCTORWHOMISSMARPLE!

I enjoyed another lovely lie in today - apart from being waken up at 6.00am by my sister going to seminary and Ethan coming in to say hello. Only Jake and Dad were in, it's weird being in such an empty house.

Washed and dressed, i decided to help mum with her ironing pile. I did it all! IT TOOK HOURS! There were like, 3 table clothes, a million T-shirts and shirts. I managed to watch Avatar and Bee movie before i was done. I had to coax Jacob off COD mind, so Ethan could have something to watch, Cod addict! My legs were killing after all that standing up, i even tried sitting on a chair and ironing, but doesn't really work. Owwiee legs!

Mum doesn't usually get home till after dinner so i took the bull by the horns and made a quiche with Jacket potato and veggies. It was really tasty! I made a red onion and bacon filling;

Homemade pastry and blind baked;

The yummy quiche mixture;

I didn't even get to take a picture of the creation - it was munched within minutes;


I also made a family home evening treat of cakies. I had to send Thomas the the shop first to pick up some eggs, butter and sweets for decorating. I then had to send dad to go and get some more eggs and the butter, haha! Dinner always takes ages in the Bridgwater household. Poor Jakey was doing the washing up (broken dishwasher) and it took him a whole hour. Here are my completed cakes- i forgot to tell my dad to get UNSALTED butter for the buttercream icing, so they had a bit of a savoury kick ;) ;

Still, they went quite quickly after FHE. My dad taught a brief lesson on Jonah and the Whale involving Ethan as Jonah and Thomas as the Whale. 'More? Again?' were repeated many times! Hahaha! Funny boy! Ethan went to bed pretty quickly after the cake munching, he was so tired. I spent the next half hour trying to get my dad to change the channel. I've noticed that paupsie decides alot of what is watched, including STARTREK and DOCTOR WHO/POO! Noooooo! I don't mind a bit of it, but not all night! PLEASSEE! We had to endure Miss Marple on Friday night :S

Rachel had been painting all evening in preparation for some project and eventually came and watched a programme with me called, 'Weird little me' or something like that. We watched a man who liked to pluck...ahem, a list maker, a poo photo taker, a skip raider and a bumble bee collector. I no longer feel weird. Come on people! Don't be weird!

Jake and Tom then joined us to watch a programme called, 'The Little House'. It's the first time I've seen it but Jake and Rae were familiar with it. It was like a psychological thriller and i am totally going to by it when it comes on DVD. Jared will love it too! I won't give the plot away but if you like thrillers, WATCH IT! I might get it for Christmas for the babes....

I caught up on the News, spoke to Jared before going to bed. I'm hooked on this word game on my phone and play it almost every night before bed. Geeeeeeeeeeek!

I have eaten so much crap over the past 4 days, i feel disgusting. I have DEFINTATELY GAINED WEIGHT! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I have the worst will power when i come to my mum's, but when i get home, for the first week it's like STEEL. Seriously need to get it sorted.

I have arranged a date to have the big chop - Tuesday 16th November and ill get 150 for it. A few people have said 'it's not worth it! Your hair is so much more than that..' blah blah blah. I would love to see them go through a Tyra Banks Next Top Model make over. I'M DOING IT! I have been wondering what to do with the money...hmmmmmm...

Nah Night!
MY SISTER IS HOT!;

We like Cakies.

I haven't had a lie in in agggessss! So i had one this morning :) My family sorted Ethan out with breakfast so i could have another half hour in bed. It was lush!

After getting washed and dressed, Ethan, Jake and I went down to Wellington town. It's such a nice day! Wilkinson's do the cheapest Pick n Mix i have ever seen so Jake and i filled a bag each. I only spent £3.50, Jake spent £5.50! He is sweetie mad! I wanted to bake some cakes for the family home evening treat so i also bought some smarties and buttons. I forget how cheap Wilko's is - I am planning to make everyone Christmas presents this year and i couldn't believe the price of their photo frames! I bought 2 massive dark wood frames for only £6.00 each. The only way we can do it this year is through selling things on Ebay to raise the cash, so i only had enough for two. When i sell some more stuff ( i have a load due to end on Wednesday) ill buy the rest.

When we got in, i started baking straight away, and t
his is what i came up with;

I left the ones on the left in a little too long. Still flipping yummy!






I made 30 in all. And yes, within 5 hours, they were all gone. Half way through cooking Ethanog came to me saying, 'bob, bob, Susan!' Meaning, please put Monster's verses Alien's on;

Mum didn't get home until 7.00pm from her job - i hate it when she comes in late. Lucky for her i started dinner so she didn't have to worry about making it. We had family home evening and listened to a talk from conference. I made everyone sit for this;

It's kind of weird not having the older two boys home. I do love my family so much. Hopefully at Christmas we can have a photo together. We shall see. After FHE, Tom was playing with Ethan. I had to get it on camera because it was so cute to watch;


I thought i would include this last picture for a laugh;



This is Jacob, sitting playing COD at midnight. I had stayed up late because i had really got into the book i was reading. Jake is talking to someone through the head piece while running around shooting people. I think this was about hour 4 into his stint. What is it with boys and playing computer games for ages? I made a swift departure to bed!
