Pregnancy–the first four months

I turned 16 weeks pregnant this week (I still can’t get used to the whole x weeks and x days thing, maybe I will by the time the avocado arrives) so thought I would update you on my experience so far, I can also look back at this myself when I want to remember what it was like! (or compare…

In which I discuss my favourite apps

I must admit, I have a shedloads of apps, but actually only use a handful. I know not everyone has an iphone, or even a smart phone (if you’re my mum you cant even cope with a phone with no buttons and get shocked when a phone has a colour screen!) but I thought i’d share my favourites with you…

In which I share my favourite festive recipes

  Below are four festive recipes that I have spotted on some pretty awesome blogs over the last couple of weeks… do try them out over Christmas! [last year I posted about homemade eggnog, easy Christmas cookies and my mulled cider recipe] Nutella Hot Chocolate as made by Skye Chocolate bark at Bella Floreale (a really awesome blog, btw, a…

In which I get on with it

For some reason I stopped titling all my posts with ‘in which I…’ so I am going to attempt to start that again. I also managed to drop all my ‘regular’ posts; Linkography: a few random photos from the past week or two and my favourite finds online (be they pictures, videos, blog posts or other!) Outfit posts: does what…

Late Friday letters

  2 days late in fact. Whoops. In my defence I have literally just finished work (half 11 pm) and was up and out by 10am this morning, so its actually a surprise I am awake enough to write anything. Dear me: stop worrying, somehow it will work out. Dear lotto: If I start playing you will I win something?…

Wedding, the week before!

I’m going to try and write about my wedding in stages, as a bit of a memoir for me but also to share it with all my readers, as people were so supportive during the run up to it, here and on twitter! The week before the wedding was hectic to say the least, I finished work on the Tuesday,…

I’m back, married & pregnant!

  Hello! Its been ages since a proper blog post, for which I do not apologise as I had good enough reason not to be spending time on this here blog. BUT, I’m married, honeymooned and also just over 3 months pregnant, so will be spending plenty of time on the sofa/in bed with my laptop. Its nice to be…

A letter to my sixteen year old self

Dear 16 year old me, Pretty soon you’ll start VI form college and discover an older boy. This is a good thing, but don’t take him to that Christmas party at your friends house because he’ll meet a girl who he’ll cheat on you with, in a garden shed. classy. He’s still a good friend though now, so don’t worry…

Friday Letters #1

  I’ve been reading some of these types of posts for weeks now on some of my fav blogs (Sophie & Gemma to name a couple) and vowed I would start once the wedding was out of the way. However why not start with my last day as an unmarried lady eh? So here goes… Where I will be getting…

Fill in the blanks

[i’m ill and still running around like a headless chicken wedding wise, but I finish work on tuesday which should give me some more time to get things done. Until a more normal blogging regime continues here is a little post to learn more about me]   I’m weird because… I can’t sleep with socks on my feet I have…

Wedding minus 11 days

To be honest there is a fair amount left to do, but it is all on lists and I have plotted time to do more or less most of it, and once various family members start to arrive a couple of days before they can help too! I’m by no means a perfectionist and have been pretty laid back about…

In which I go on my Hen Weekend

Many of my favourite people   I look drunk but actually that’s not even alcohol… Possibly the worst picture of sparklers ever. Standard photo gatecrasher in the club.   Dinner at the Komedia    Me and Bridesmaid Emily (My dress is from Forever 21) My SUPERking size bed. seriously I could live on that thing. Cheesy snap! So i’m not…
