I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO GO OUT TO WORK, I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, AND UNFORTUNATELY I'M IN PAIN PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME! HOWEVER, I LOVE MAKING & DECORATING CAKES FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS, THE BONUS BEING I CAN GO AT MY OWN PACE, SIT, STAND OR LAY ON THE FLOOR, DEPENDING ON HOW THE MOOD TAKES ME, SORRY THE PAIN AGONISES ME!! I'M ALSO ON THE GOOD OLD HAPPY PILLS...AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL LOL! THEY REALLY DO HELP WITH THE MOOD SWINGS AND HELP SLIGHTLY, ALONG WITH OTHER MEDICATION, WITH PAIN MANAGEMENT!
I PROBABLY DECORATED MY FIRST CAKE, BACK IN 1985/86, WHEN I WAS 19/20 YRS OLD!
SINCE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, I HAVE DECORATED AT LEAST 30 LARGE CAKES AND ALMOST 300 CUPCAKES, ALL OF VARIOUS COLOURS AND DESIGNS!!
IT'S GONE CRAZY......WHO MADE THEM BEFORE I CAME ALONG LOL
I ALSO KEEP MY OWN LITTLE COLLECTION OF CHICKENS, I HAVE 10 BEAUTIFUL GIRLS RUNNING ROUND MY GARDEN! ALLOWING FOR BROODINESS, WEATHER ETC, I'M AVERAGING BETWEEN 6-8 EGGS PER DAY...........VERY HANDY FOR ALL MY CAKES! THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN A FREE-RANGE EGG FOR A CAKE SPONGE!
I ALSO HAVE 3 CATS, 1 DOG, 2 DAUGHTERS (21 AND AT UNI & 19 AND AT COLLEGE) AND 1 HUSBAND!!!!
