#34 Recipe No.1 Sticky Kicking Chicken (My Way)
Today it was my turn to cook dinner and since today is also the day I’ve started my diet/health kick I thought I’d attempt one of Jamie Oliver’s so called healthy recipes in his latest book 15 Minute Meals. Of course I never expected them to take 15 minutes, and since I was doing it my way I’d allow at least half an hour (but some of that is cooking time) but I can assure you the end result was delicious! Jamie Oliver being Jamie Oliver suggests serving it with a watermelon and radish salad with crunch noodles but there was many reasons I decide to forget this, the main…

#29 So Long, Farewell 2012
Source Tumblr Today is the final day of 2012, the year the world was supposed to come to an end but it didn’t. For me, like for many people I know, this has been both the best and worst year of my life and to be quite frank I’m glad to see the back of it. Although I don’t believe a new year necessarily means all past problems are evaporated as the clock strike twelve (for me personally, 2013 is going to be a very tough year with more than likely, a custody battle on the horizon) but I do think a new year is a time for reflection and…

#28 Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
So did everyone have a wonderful festive season? I did, especially since it was my daughters first Christmas! I also had the worst Christmas of my life last year so this year I was hell bent on making this year better than ever and it was! Here is a wee post about my Christmas. I’m not sure how many of my followers enjoy reading these sort of personal posts (and I apologies but there won’t be any photos of my daughter, as much as my ex makes my life miserable I respect his wishes to keep public domains free of photos of Olivia.) But I’m doing one anyway (and will…

Weekly Wardrobe — Minnie, Lace & Victorian Boots Oh My!
I really wanted to blog last night but I was so tired I just went to bed. I’ve been really stressed and emotional this week so it was nice to pop my pjs on, get into bed and watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch on youtube (yes I am that cool!) However today, I wanted to introduce a new part to What Amy Did Next called Weekly Wardrobe. Rather than doing individual posts about what I’ve worn over the past week, I thought it would be nice to gather all my outfits into one post under the title Weekly Wardrobe. Of course if there is a special occasion where I have…

#20 The Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling Review
When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils … Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected…
