#212 Going Back To School, Better Late Than Never *
Credit First, let me just say from the age of 16 I worked. Even when I was at uni, I worked and should I have stayed in Lincoln, I probably would still be working. However, when I moved back home it meant giving up my job I had to go back to after my maternity leave. Yes, it wasn’t the best job but it would of been flexible and I could of done it until I found something better. When my maternity leave ended a year ago, I went out and got myself a job straight away. Luckily everywhere was after Christmas staff so it wasn’t that hard. Unfortunately, the…

I Feel The Fear
Since turning twenty five back in March, I can now officially say I’m in my mid twenties. I’m a single mother, unemployed, living in my home town. At my bleakest moments, I feel what I call “the fear.” This isn’t what I wanted. I didn’t want to be back here, on my own, with a child and no job prospects. I wanted to be so much more ever since I was a small child. I dreamed of getting away, seeing the world and yes, I’ve had a few holidays but it’s hardly the same. As bloggers we always focus on what our hopes and dreams are, and apart from the…

Barry M Turn My Lips Pink Lipstick Review
I’m still sick, boo! So I’ve turned to my good ol’ hard drive to see what photos I have to turn into a blog post for this fine evening when the TV is absolutely rubbish. I hate Freeview, I can’t wait to get back to work next year so I can justify having Sky TV in again. I will probably put on a DVD and snuggle up under my spare quilt on the sofa. I don’t know whether or not to order take away, this is my eternal Saturday night dilemma! I probably shouldn’t as I have pizza in the freezer and a carton of soup in the fridge if…

Cookies & Cream Cupcakes Recipe
I’m absolutely choked to death with the cold so I’m keeping this short and sweet! I’m also so tired after having a busy few days with Alice & Hayley visiting. Actually love those girls. Alice is hopefully driving up next month and I’ll be seeing Hayley again in 40 days for our Paris trip. We even did some planning last night, how exciting?! Anyway, tonight I’m giving you all a recipe for some delicious cupcakes! The recipe originally comes from The Hummingbird Bakery’s book, Home Sweet Home. I have to admit I swear by HB recipes as I know they always turn out amazingly. In Home Sweet Home there is…

Scrub a Dub Dub
LINKS HAVE ALL BEEN REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE I have only just managed to photograph for this post before it gets too dark! Phew that was a mad dash! I can’t believe how early I’m having to shut my curtains now, especially in the lounge which gets light in the morning because of the way my house faces! I’m going to try and schedule a few posts for the next couple of days as once again I have visitors. Whether or not that will happen is another thing as I want to do eBay listing tonight, tidy and hoover AND have a bath. I also haven’t been…

#199 A Public Service Announcement of Sorts
Since I’m back into my old routine of blogging pretty much every day, I thought i’d attempt to give my blog a bit more structure when it comes to content. I’ll be honest, this is mainly for me. Mixing up what content I post will definitely help me stay focused and not make me feel disillusioned with it which is how I felt before moving. I’d ended up in a rut of review after review and that isn’t why I started my blog which was now almost a year ago! As my blog is very much “lifestyle” as in I post whatever the hell takes my fancy that is related…
