FaNtAsTiC...

What an amazing week I've had! Jim came stayed on Wednesday night, as soon as he came back. Thurday I went over his and we planned the barn party we had in Adam's Barn in Hepworth, last Thursday night! It was IMMENSE! Everyone enjoyed themselves very muchly, and there was lots of drinking and dancing involved! Woooo! Also on Thursday night Josephine and Rudi went to a fancy dress party...they looked great!!! Shame I didn't properly see them before they went, but here's a photo anyways of them on my trampoline!


Friday was meant to be my Birthday pub, but I was really poorly, so I stayed home and had lots of sleep...felt much better on Saturday! Jim came over and saw me in the afternoon and took me back to his for dinner, then we came back here to stay the night! Sunday I had sooo much chocolate! I still haven't eaten it all! Jim came picked me up in the afternoon and we went back to his for the evening. I stayed over his the night, and we both got up really early yesterday coz Jim had planned a day to London! We got the train to Liverpool Street at 8:30am, and once we arrived caught the tube to Embankment. Jim surprised me and had booked tickets for us to go on the London Eye!!! It was BRILLIANT! We hadn't been on it before, so it was ace! You can see so far across London it was amazing. I took lots of pictures for my scrapbook!

Once we had been on the Eye, we walked to Buckingham Palace and then through St Jame's Park and saw the horse guards, which was great. We walked round the shops in Soho, and down Oxford Street...all over the place! He bought me loads of things, and took me to lunch too! Jim had planned it all out-he's the best! YAY! He then took me to Harrods and we looked around all the clothes, he got a VERY sexy rugby shirt...he looks extra hot in it! Mmmmm *smiles* We went and bought some delicious food from the food section in Harrods and took it to Hyde Park. There was a park bench waiting for us, perfectly placed on the edge of the park in front of the lake, it was an amazing wind down to an absolutely fantastic day! We then walked across Hyde Park and caught the tube back to Liverpool Street, where we awaited our train, and 8:30pm, back to Stomarket and then home!
Today is my Birthday Woooooooo! It's almost all over, but still got a couple of hours! I'm 18 now...I'm a big girl! lol! I woke up this morning and opened my presents from my sister and mum! I got some gorgeous jewellery from Josephine and POP-UP KARMA SUTRA! Yes....I did day POP-UP! It's great, made me laugh! Mum bought me a smoothie maker YUMMY! Plus a smoothie book and LOADS of fruit It's ace! This week I will mostly be drinking smoothies, shakes, frappes and mochtails! Mmmmmm So Good! jim came over this afternoon to give me my pressies...I wasn't allowed them straight away yesterday, I had to wait till today! He also got me a couple of surprises. His parents got me a gorgeous necklace! Woot! Tonight was Excellent. I decided with mum the other day that I would like to go out for a meal at The Fox in Bury, so Jim booked it up and us three headed off. Hannah and her sister later joined us for the meal which was great to see her.

We had just finished our main course when I spotted Saggers over at the bar. I was so excited, the fact that he happened to be in the same pub as us on my Birthday...then Ella came over with flowers and chocolate for me! Shortly followd by Scotty, Will, Emmakins and Dik!!! Jim and Mum had planned a surprise get together! They all came over and joined us for drinks and pudding! It was so immense that Jim got them all to come see me on such short notice, plus I didn't even catch on that it was being planned! It was the best EVER! I had such a great time tonight...thanx guys!!! You all made my 18th Birthday! I Love Jim x

Home Time...


Oh yes...the day has come when Kat is finally happy and extremely excited!!! Jim's coming home tonight! Wooooooo! Yay, I love this feeling! I want this next week to last forever! I'm going to take lots of cool pictures of the fun times ahead during the next few days, I'll put them in my scrapbook (I haven't done that for a while) and I'll blog some too!

Easter fun... Josephine and Rudi are back for easter! WootWoot! Although, Josephine says she's going back to Oxford this weekend for a week, to write her huge essay!I'm not sure how this makes me feel, coz it's my 18th Birthday on Tuesday, and I'd love her to be with me. But, I must admit, Tuesday is a pretty awkward day to have a birthday on if you want to do stuff with other people...Which means that I won't be seeing her! I know she needs to do her work, coz this is THE big one to end her uni year, but I will miss her loads! It sucks! However, it's not all bad coz the last 3 days have been ace to see her! We took the dogs for that really long walk around the Livermere/Troston circuit on Monday (I went by myself on Sunday again aswell)...
I got another cool pick of that tree, it's real purdy! I wish I had a decent camera to take pictures with! I end up using either my phone, for blog pics, or a disposable for my scrapbook! Owell, it's all good!
ps. I LOVE JIM!!!! YAY!

Hurry up Wednesday!!!

Friday April 7th...I took Lil and Princess on an hour long walk Friday morning. It gave me a chance to get out the house and have some fresh air...also gave mum a chance to do some more work on her disitation. So overall was a good excuse to be out. Also, I took a couple of cool pics on my phone...


This is my favorite tree! I've passed it everyday for the past 10 years or so! It's just outside Troston. It wasn't a great time of day to have a cool sky as a background, although this typically British moody grey sky still looks pretty cool!



This is Lil hunting for rats.








Friday night at the pub was ok! wasn't the best it's ever been, which was a huge shame cos Emily joined us! Scotty and Iz were also there, which was awesome! Missed Scotty lots, and was really great to finally meet Izzy! Saturday, I had to work as usual...managed to finally go see Ice Age2 with Emmakins in the evening which ROCKED! I laughed so much I cried!
Sunday...Today! I had an urge to bounce on my trampoline this morning...it's so fun! wooooooo!


ONLY 3 DAYS TILL JIM COMES HOME!!!! WOOOOOOOOO YEAH!!!!

Kat Kake...


For those of you who have not encountered what a 'Kat Kake' looks like/consists of THIS IS IT! I baked this delicious beauty yesterday morning for my cousin, Aaron's, 18th Birthday! Mum and I took it over to his place in Eye (Nr. Diss) and he was more than happy by it's arrival. This particular creation consisted of:

  • A large chocolate sponge cake as a base, filled in the centre and covered all over in chocolate butter icing
  • 11 chocolate buns covered with more chocolate butter icing stacked in a pyramid shape on top
  • Chocolate fingers alinned around the edge of the base
  • Smarties in the spaces where the buns didn't cover the cake on the outside
  • White and normal milk chocolate malteasers on the first layer of buns

  • White and milk buttons on the second layer of buns
  • Magic stars on the top bun (this also had a "special" added ingredient)
  • 18 candles for the birthday boy

'Kat Kakes' vary from person to person, depending whom I'm baking it for. Favorite toppings can be requested! Woooooooooo I love to cook!


This picture is a photo of Aaron and his girlfriend, Hannah. He sure did love his cake!

Good Bye and Good Luck...


This is a photo of Hannah "Chesty" Vesty! She has been a lodger in my house for the past 7 months. She's an amazing woman, with a crazy amount of musical talent with many instruments! She moved out yesterday, back into a place in Bury due to convenience now that she is pregnant. I wish her all the best of luck! *Hannah you're awesome* Take it easy! Ps. "It's mine"

Friday was a quiet one...*shock/horror* NO PUB! I stayed in and watched Friday night tv, boring, but was ok...I got an early night!
Saturday I worked as normal...then spent £27 on Easter Eggs! I went to a wicked party last night! Wooooo! I MISS JIM
