Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh Presents, Smokehouse
A week past Thursday I was invited up to Edinburgh’s branch of the Hard Rock Cafe, this time to learn more about and experience their Smokehouse menu. As I made clearer in my restaurant review back in May, I love The Hard Rock Cafe as it’s something my dad introduced my sister and I to from a young age. So I was really excited to get a behind the scenes look at how the Smokehouse range comes together on the plate. I had a plus one for the event so I invited my fav Scot Kirsty from Indigo Buttons to come with me, I hadn’t seen her since February! On…

A Wanderlust Wishlist – Holidaying in the UK *
Did any of you notice that I’ve swapped my A Wednesday Wishlist feature for something different this week? Today I’m sharing A Wanderlust Wishlist instead, just for a change. And lets face it, we all know how much I love an adventure! After next year there will be no more holidays abroad for Little Miss and I for a good three years. Why? Because my dad promised that when my nephew and daughter have turned 5, he’ll help finance a family trip to Florida. My sister and I are on count down already! However, he’s only offered to pay for accommodation and of course he’ll be renting the car. We…

#213 Recipe No.15 Noodle Soup
As everyone on this planet and out of space knows with my constant moaning, I’ve had a cold for the past week and a half. If I’d been near any university students I would be damn sure I had freshers flu because it’s been as bad and I haven’t been able to drink myself into oblivion to combat it! Instead I made soup. I know usually it’s recommended to have chicken soup when ill but I didn’t have any chicken.. so I settled for the next best thing. Noodle soup but made with chicken stock to get it that comforting taste. Yes, it probably had no medicinal properties but it…

#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…
