Where has the time gone....................

I owe a huge apology to everyone, Iam very sorry!!
I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog since like forever!!!

However there is a reason, I have been sooooooooooo busy.
I have not had any spare time at all.
I feel like a walking zombie at the moment and am so happy everything is back to normal.
Well back to normal for now anyway!!

Where to start...
So much has happened.
I have been so busy with work.
I have worked over 20 x 12 hour days with only one day off, Yuk!!
Iam totally exhausted!!

While working I have been trying to finish organising my wedding plans, they are coming along smoothly thank goodness!!

I received my wedding invitations!! Yes that's right my wedding invitations!!
I was like a little kid at Christmas time opening them with my gorgeous fiance he was even excited.
At long last I received them and sent them on there merry way.
They turned out perfect they look fantastic definitely worth the wait, I love them!!

Time has gone by so quickly I didn't realise how close my big day was away it is getting so close, so very exciting!!!

Home sweet home............

We have returned from Melbourne back at home at last. It is nice to get away but it is soooo nice to get home and sleep in your own bed and be in your house.
It was great catching up with friends and family I wish we lived closer as you realise how much you miss them when you catch up with them.

We picked up our wedding bands, very exciting they look so beautiful I can't wait to be able to wear mine!!

I was able to do some knitting on our trip away and have Nealy finished my scarf....
Still have a little bit to go.

Melbourne is such a wonderful city I love it when we get a chance to visit there is so much to do, see and eat in Melbourne!

As it is cold here I have decided to make up a big pot of Lamb shank and Vegetable soup, it should go down quiet nicely as it will warm us up in the inside......

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend

600 ml thickened cream
Cocoa powder

Layer malt biscuits over base of pan, cutting to fit if necessary, so base is completely covered.
Wrap crunchies, still in their wrappers, in a clean tea-towel, bash Crunchie bars so they are broken into small pieces.
Using an electric mixer, beat sweetened condensed milk and cream in a large bowl until thick and pale.
Stir through Crunchie bar pieces.
Spread cream mixture over biscuits. Top with another layer of biscuits.
Cover and freeze until firm.
Dust with cocoa powder cut into squares.
