The Big 50 Giveaway....................

Something is almost upon me that I really DO NOT want, next Monday is my 50th birthday, how did I get here so quickly I ask myself.  I can distinctly remember thinking when I was about 10 or 11 how old 50 was, (my Dad was 49 at the time) and how far away from it I was, alas it's no longer something in my future but something very much in my present and I'm not feeling good about it, anyway, I have decided to honour the occaision and have a little giveaway.
The theme I have chosen for this is 'Baking Day', and the lucky winner will receive these lovely goodies.......................


A silicone cake pan, 12 silicone cupcake cases, cupcake oven gloves, a set of measuring cups and a muffin cookbook, together with this......................


Marks and Spencer 'Baking Day' cookery book.

All you have to do to enter is:

1. Follow my blog
2. Leave a comment by Monday 12th April.

All participants names will be put in a hat and my lovely son Master M will draw the winner the day after as we are at the O2 for WWE Raw on the day itself , lucky me eh!!
Hope you all enjoy.

    Rosie,

    Thanks for the visit. In Spanish you say "Tengo 50 años de edad", when literally translated it means,I have 50 years...think about it. You are not 50 years old per say, rather you have 50 years of wisdom,experience and life....That's a wonderful thing to celebrate! Have a wonderful week!

    tootles,
    bunny

    ps. I became a follower too!

    Take it from me, the anticipation of being 50 is actually worse than being 50. I say, pluck your chin stubble, slap on a tenalady, and party like its 1960!!! Have a great day, xxxx

    What a great giveaway - please count me in.
    Have a great birthday, I would say don't worry about it, but I know what I am like with certain numbers, 37 was awful, so was 39, but 40 was a breeze.....actually up til now it has been odd numbers that have freaked me out....

    I know landmark birthdays can be hard, but I wouldn't go back and be 20 again unless I could take all the things I've learned with me!

    Darling you will be 50 years young, look at birthdays this way and here is a quote for you from the Duchess of Quotes:

    Count your garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall
    Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all
    Count your age by friends, not years

    Love & Hugs
    Duchess

Now that we know just how fast the years go by, remember to make the most of each moment!! Love our friends and families and forgive our enemies. I'm raising a cup of tea in a toast to you my dear friend!!

    Please enter me into your fab giveaway, I just love baking!

    By the way do not worry about being 50, my Mum is over 50 now and is fab looking, full of energy, parties more than me and is loving life. I try to bypass my birthdays - that way you don't remember how old you are ;-) Or you could go backwards like my grandad does - he is about 30 now.
