Party fever and an old favourite...............

Well hello out there. I feel it's been ages since I last tapped out a post. It's been all about extra long weekends, sick kids (and now adults...lovely) and a little party prep going on for a family member who is about to change from single digit age to double digits. DOUBLE!!! How the heck did that happen?? And when?? Anyway she is super excited and I must say super organised (I believe this comes from a combination of being the eldest child and watching, often in horror, her rather disorganised mother running about in a last minute flap on way too many occasions).....

She has organised this entire lot ...thank goodness.......

                                                                                 

She requested bunting...so we have bunting... almost........(see...this is obviously where the dis-organised mother is involved...half-finished!!).....

                                                                                 

                                                                               

Although.....look!!....I have managed to complete a little baking.............

                                                                                 

 These are the yum-yum balls I have already posted the recipe for awhile back but I thought I'd do a quick slap-dash repeat now.....

   
                                                                       Yum Yum Balls

1 tin condensed milk
2 level tablspns cocoa powder
1/2 cup coconut
1 packet marie biscuits
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crush up your marie biscuits (I throw ours into a ziplock sandwich bag then smash them to crumbs with a rolling pin - no mess!)
In a bowl mix together the condensed milk, cocoa powder and vanilla.
Add the coconut, mix through.
Add the crushed biscuits and mix through.
Roll into smallish balls then roll in some coconut.
Pop them in the fridge to set properly
And try not to eat the whole lot...it is difficult to stop at one or two!!!


                                                                                   

And with that I must dash........

Have a lovely Wednesday.......and see you soon......................
