Love is in the air…

Glad to see that romance is not dead… the amount of guys walking round Tesco with bouquets of flowers and roses was amazing.
Some even had 3 or 4 bouquets, we just hoped they didnt have 3 or 4 valentines 🙂
One guy wanted to buy fish so he could cook for his wife… even though he hated fish.
He decided on Monkfish, a good choice, but when I asked him what he was going to do with it and he replied ” deep fry it ” I almost died.
I told him he should wrap it in parma ham and bake it in the oven, I assured him his wife would be impressed.

What are your plans for valentines day ?? and do you have a favourite valentines quote ?
I found a great quote this year but cannot share it with you……… just yet 🙂

That special birthday Gift…

My massage client yesterday had no idea he was having a massage till he arrived hsallymassageome from work and found me waiting for him.

His wife had booked him a massage as a surprise birthday gift.

His face was a picture and he was delighted with his surprise gift.

So if your looking for that special gift for a birthday/anniversary or just want to treat someone then a Swedish body massage or an Indian head massage could be just what your looking for.

Another chapter ends….

Well tonight was my last night at college and I now have a level 3 Diploma in Indian head massage as well as Swedish body massage.indian head

I have really enjoyed doing these courses and its opened up a new life for me.

Many thanks must go to Geoff for making it all possible and for all the encouragement he has given me.

He has also been the most perfect guinea pig for all my practice, and can now reap the benefits with massages every weekend for life 🙂

It seems I may have done these courses just at the right time as there is a rumour that they will not be funded for much longer at the college.

The government say all funding has to be made available for teenagers not older students.

So what will I do with myself on a Tuesday night now…….   go back to my first love and that’s the gym 🙂

Housekeeping….

Must be the week for housekeeping because like Ellee I have also been tidying my side bar.

Removing a few things and adding new things too image

Geoff experimented with the side links to my massage pages and my social networking places and I think they all work rather well.  ( what do you think ?? )

I decided to remove both blog rolls to Blog Power and Blog Hounds BUT that does not mean I will be leaving these blogging families.

I still have to tidy up my own blog roll then I will be all done.

Finally I will then find time to visit all my favourite blogs and I hope to find a few new ones on my travels too 🙂

Apple Betty Pudding..

As I am stickling quite strictly to my slimming world eating plan and feeling so much better for it already ,I decided tonight’s pudding had to be a slimming world one.

I thought I would try a new recipe recommended by a friend……

12 oz eating apples

2oz sultanas

8 eggs

sweetener to taste

2tsp vanilla essence

pot of vanilla Muller light yogurt

pinch of cinnamon.

1.  Peel core and slice the apple, place into a shallow dish and sprinkle with sultanas.

2.  Beet the eggs with the sweetener and vanilla essence, then add the yogurt and beat again.

3.  pour mixture over the apple and sultanas ,allow the mixture to sink then sprinkle with the cinnamon.

Bake for 30 min’s or until set at 190 c or gas mark 5.

It was delicious and only 4 sins per quarter of serving so I got my nice pudding with out upsetting my eating plan 🙂

Rescued..

Being I was so disappointed not to get any sloes last year for making some more Sloe gin.

I have been looking for recipes for making some other kind of liqueur, the favourite seems to be Raspberry vodka.

When out walking to Grantchester at the week-end we came across a box of DSCF3087 demijohns free to a good home.

I thought these would be great for doing my raspberry vodka in, so we rescued a couple.

Once I can find some cork or rubber bungs for them I will be able to get it started in plenty of time for Christmas 🙂

I found a great site, The Cottage Smallholder with some great recipes and Ideas and I have my eye on a book called Make Mine Vodka

Don’t Quit…

I found this little card at Norwich Cathedral last week , when I was there with my Twitter friends.

I kept thinking about it tonight while I tried and tried to get my printer and scanner working.

It may have took me many many hours but I did not quit and now its working perfect so I can go to bed and sleep well 🙂
