the night before the Princesses arrive

I should NOT be online now - I'm only here while mixing the icing... urrhh - honest!

I asked DH to tidy up, but the problem is that without specific instructions for every detail he does have trouble, bless him! He's gone to bed now and I'm lonely (the real reason I'm online) but working on the castle cake. I realised this evening that I haven't even drawn a basic pic of how I want it, which doesn't bode well.

I have so much to do!
Food to make, food to bake, food to cut for dippers and blumin' heck I just realised I have no dips.
I have tried out the rather wonderfully pink drinks fountain the rather wonderfully great Alison gave to my DD - can't thank you enough hon! - It's all tried out and works like a dream. Though I'm soooo tempted to put fizzy lemonade in it and see what kind of mess it makes.
Downside is that I burst DD's foil princess balloon trying to inflate it properly with the mini helium canister. Liam keeps saying things to me like 'I'll run to the shops and get her another in the morning' but I know that he has to take her to ballet at 10 and he has an appointment about an allotment at 12, the party is at 2 - where's he going to fit it in?!

Ah well I'd best be off, I need some good luck wishes for the cake I think! Scarlett has been wonderfull about it, telling me that she's sure it will be lovely, even if I do mess it up, awh.
