#167 Mid Year Round Up 2013
Firstly, in case you missed all the hullabaloo on Twitter this week.. I GOT A HOUSE! Fingers crossed for getting the keys very soon and then of course moving. It’s really not far from my parents house, less than a 10 minutes walk and only a couple of minutes drive. It’s close to both sets of grandparents and near Little Miss’ nursery. It’s on the same street my mum grew up on, you can see her old house from the window so I have had some very emotional members of family calling me up. Two bedroom of course, upstairs and downstairs, with a front and back garden. Now I’m just…

#164 Recipe No.12 Low Calorie Chicken Satay with Noodles
A couple of weeks ago my dad booked a holiday to Greece for himself and my mum, they weren’t going to go so my mum hadn’t started her usual bikini diet early enough so she’d gotten herself a little bit panicked. Then the newspaper started promoting the 5:2 Diet, my mum collected the pamphlets and decided she was going to give it a try. I have been wanting to try it since I read Being Erica’s post about her experience with it but I didn’t think it was possible while living at my parents due to the fact everything they usually buy is full fat/full calorie. Now my mum wants…

#163 Lush Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser Review
This is the first of two posts today as for the whole of this month I’ve been very slack in blogging. It’s not because I don’t want to or don’t have thins to blog about, it’s just the fact I’m tired. Usually the only time in the day I have to blog is in the evening and by that time the thought of thinking of something witty and interesting does not appeal. I’m going to try and make more of an effort to blog during the day when Little Miss is asleep because I do miss it. Today I’m sharing with you the current cleanser I’m using because it has…

#162 Paper Aeroplanes by Dawn O’Porter Review
It’s the mid-1990s, and fifteen year-old Guernsey schoolgirls, Renée and Flo, are not really meant to be friends. Thoughtful, introspective and studious Flo couldn’t be more different to ambitious, extroverted and sexually curious Renée. But Renée and Flo are united by loneliness and their dysfunctional families, and an intense bond is formed. Although there are obstacles to their friendship (namely Flo’s jealous ex-best friend and Renée’s growing infatuation with Flo’s brother), fifteen is an age where anything can happen, where life stretches out before you, and when every betrayal feels like the end of the world. For Renée and Flo it is the time of their lives. With graphic content…

The Great British Cupcakery Launch Night
Last week I was invited by the really lovely Sarah to a cupcakery launch night in Newcastle. I had only met her once back in April at The Body Shop event but we’d hit it off so I jumped at the chance. My mum agreed to have Little Miss to give me a night off to drink cocktails, eat cake and hang out with some girls my own age instead of being sat at home with a bottle of cider watching Revolution with my parents. The cupcakery in question is The Great British Cupcakery – Bakehouse & Parlour which is situated on Queens Street down by the Quayside in Newcastle.…
