Nerves!!

Eeeek! the nerves finally kicked in at 6.30 this morning! I woke up with my heart racing and thanked the lord that I'd been on that performance course a couple of weeks ago and learnt how to deal with nerves...much deep breathing etc later I got back to sleep and am now well rested.
I've got plenty to do today which is going to be good. I baked a lemon curd layer cake last night to take along with me as the event is for charity (I've never made lemon curd before and I swear down that was the most stressful thing so far - I was convinced that I would end up with lemony scrambled eggs and I have to say that the usually helpful Delia was somewhat confusing on this one having said 'stir frequently' to then saying that you don't need to stay with it, just come back and stir 'from time to time'. Delia, there is quite a difference between 'frequently' and 'from time to time'. But it worked (I erred on the side of caution and went with 'frequently') and it was a lovely sweet but sharp lemon curd to go in between the four layers of lemon cake with lemon icing on top. Yum. At least I hope so! At the same time I managed to mess up making chocolate cornflake cakes...it turns out that if you accidentally buy Galaxy caramel instead of just chocolate then it reeeeally doesn't work. Still, I've eaten one for breakfast today - they are made of cornflakes after all so they are totally a breakfast food - and I'll be baking again in a bit, which will be therapeutic. Apart from the baking, I've finished securing the beads on my top as a few were loose, so it's just nails to paint and I'll be ready to go, and I'll fix my hair and makeup when I get there. Eee, that's out of the system now and I'm back to being excited - in around 12 hours I'll be one step closer to 30!!!!
