Day 147 – Sunday 26th May
Although it is half term we have no plans. With it being Ramadan we are just going to take it easy this week. Spent most of the day at home. The weather was nice and the girls made some daisy chains and poor Rosie had to put up with getting a necklace.
Day 148 – Monday 27th May
Got into cleaning mode today and decided to tackle the oven. Then regretted my decision! Tempted to call the cleaners in! I decided to try Koh that is all over Facebook these days. Ordered it weeks ago but only just got round to using it. Must admit I wasn’t overly impressed with it.
Day 149 – Tuesday 28th May
Eldest went to the stables in the morning. She has been missing horse riding on Sundays as during Ramadan her Quran and Islamic studies have been moved to Sunday’s. As the stables were doing extra half term lessons I booked her in for the morning to make up for the sessions she was missing. Later we didn’t have much planned so we decided to get our Eid decorations started. Went to the parents and put up some balloons there…..my excuse was we had to check that they were all ok with no holes. Dad did say it is a bit early but he ended up helping!
Day 150 – Wednesday 29th May
Bee can be hard work sometimes as she always wants to be doing something. So I got the girls busy with making some Eid decorations. Paperchains are nice and simple and they both made some. Also some Eid chocolates I had ordered arrived. Have put them away incase we get tempted to eat them all before Eid even comes!
Day 151 – Thursday 30th May
Got Bee making an Eid banner. She was using glitter glue pens but put so much on that they ended up taking forever to dry! Also round 2 of getting some decorations up at the parents house! Dad is getting used to me going round and randomly putting up some decorations!
Day 152 – Friday 31st May
Took mum to her physio appointment in the morning and then didn’t do a whole lot once we got home. I had brought home some old decorations we had left at my parents house and decided to use them to decorate our house.
Day 153 – Saturday 1st June
Karate in the morning for Bee. Her regular class and then fight club. She made ‘star of the class’ in her regular class. Then in the afternoon we did a spot of baking….some biscuits and a cake. The cake ended up raw on the inside as I think the oven was too hot from baking the biscuits first….so covered it with foil to get the inside of it cooked. Then the eldest hadn’t greased the tins enough so they got a bit stuck. By then I had had enough so the decorating wasn’t all that…..but it still tasted good!
Rosie looks pretty stunned after wearing the fancy necklace 😛 sorry to hear Koh didn’t work; that can happen when buying stuff from online. It’s never to early to prepare for Eid, right? The decorations look great! Yeah, baking mishaps tend to occur with me also, but the cake does look great!

The cake did actually taste nice so guess that is all that matters!
Lol, that cake looks quite like some of my attempts. Love the decorations
I really am not a baker at all!
Well the Koh thing has passed me by, but it doesn’t sound like I’ve missed much. Poor Rosie – she doesn’t look very keen about her necklace.

No don’t think she was impressed
What a pretty necklace for Rosie. hehehe
I hate cleaning the oven. I’ve not heard of Koh before.
The Eid decorations look fab!
I think the cake looks fab! It looks delicious. x

The cake was pretty tasty!
I was wondering about Koh myself, there seems to be big things said about it. That cake looks so lovely and what a great collection of photos x
A lot of people seem to rate it but I am currently unimpressed
Love the Eid decorations, glad your Dad came on board lol. The cake looks great, well done on using the foil to help cook it, I never would’ve thought of that
I had to google uncooked cake in the middle to come up with the foil thing!
Love the decorations, I hope you have all enjoyed the celebrations. Your cat is more patient than mine would be I think #365
Thank you, yes we had a good day
I like the oven pride spray cleaner stuff but make sure you hold your breath when spraying and have lots of fresh air to head for easily, I leave my back door open and make hubby spray it.
A quite week sounds sensible during Ramadan, well done for getting through it. You have my admiration
Love the cats daisy chain .
Yep I ended up using that as Koh wasn’t doing anything at all. You are right..it is strong!
I love all the bright colourful decorations they are very pretty. Paper chains are always a good way to keep the kiddies entertained. I have not heard of that oven cleaner but will avoid it so thank you for the tip. Well rescued on the cake it looks delicious. Hope you have a lovely weekend

It’s not specifically an oven cleaner but an all round eco friendly cleaner….wasn’t strong enough for my oven!
