I love making things, my Grandad used to say that from the moment I had control of my hands I was always making and creating something, be it a drawing, a model or my latest crafting fad. There's something about making something yourself which really fills you with pride, you only need to take one . . . → Read More: I made this . . .

These last week two weeks has seen both my son's birthday and my own. Although of course turning 5 is SO much bigger than turning 28! We knew we were away in Scotland for Ben's birthday so instead of organising a party for his friends (which would be a nightmare to do in the summer holidays anyway) We decided to take him and a friend to Camelot Theme Park for the day the week before and then had a family BBQ the day before we left for Scotland.
One dilemma I had was the cake, Ben was turning five and has really started getting interested in certain brands and franchises recently, his favourite at the moment is Lego Star Wars.
I loved the idea of him having a Lego Star Wars cake as I knew it would make his day!
However, I had a bit of a dilemma, although I absolutely love baking, and have created a few birthday cakes in the past, with working full time, having a day out before the BBQ and packing to go away the day after, I just wouldn't have time to make one myself, but I wasn't keen on getting a pre packaged one from the supermarket either, they are fairly small, can be expensive and your not really sure what's in them...

If being cold, poor and wet in January wasn't enough, there is one other depressing factor I have to contend with; my birthday is at the beginning of February which means it's another year older, another year larger and another year greyer. But, if you can't pick yourself up from the winter and imminent middle age approaching blues then what the hell can I do, eh?

Regardless of whether you have one child or ten, or whether it's their first birthday or 18th, there's something special and important about giving your offspring a great birthday party. Unfortunately, what many of our kids would like and what we can realistically afford to give them, doesn't always tally. So where's the compromise that the kids don't even realise has been made?

One of my favourite and possibly geekiest pastimes at the start of the year is putting reminder notes on my phone calendar for each glorious bank holiday that I can look forward to over the coming twelve months, with the prospect of having seven extra days to add onto my annual holiday being more than enough to cure my winter blues.
Though it's unlikely that the first bank holiday weekend of 2013 will be a patch on the Jubilee weekend of 2012 – a full Friday to Tuesday's worth of revelry – I am still hopeful that the bank holiday spirit will come out in full force the moment the clock strikes 12.01am on 29 March.
