    #66 Wish You Were Here – Lincoln in February

    February 25, 2013 /

    I worked out the other day, I have spent one fifth of my life living in Lincoln. I love the place and it would of been a lovely place to raise my daughter had things worked out differently. However I’m now lucky that every couple of months I get to go back and visit friends, i’m lucky that I get to “holiday” so often in such a great place. On Friday I took the train down for some premature birthday celebrations with my two ex housemates. I had a wonderful weekend filled with a lot of food, a lot of alcohol and a lot of shopping. The weather wasn’t great,…

    #63 An issue kept quiet; domestic abuse

    February 18, 2013 /

    The statistics say that this is one of the most under reported crimes, that nowadays one in four women and one in six men will suffer abuse at the hand of a loved one. Maybe this isn’t a smart move, to post about what i’ve been through on a public blog but finally I feel brave enough to speak out in hope somewhere out there I can help someone who hasn’t yet escaped a situation that was once so familiar to me. It’s hard to even write this knowing there could be consequences from a certain someone, who I’m sure still traces my every movement. Maybe this will clear up…

    #61 Recipe No.6 Tarte Flambée

    February 16, 2013 /

    I hate Saturdays, I think I must be the only one who does (please speak up if you hate it too!) In fact I just really dislike weekends. Our little house isn’t big enough to fit all these people in at the weekend and we are all constantly on top of one another. Sometimes, it’s lovely. We’re planning on all going out for dinner for Mothers Day as there are three mothers in our house and none of us want to cook, so I’m sure that’ll be a nice weekend (I’m also meeting a friend in the city on the Saturday AND it’s a week before my birthday).. so I…

    #58 Shop Dixi Review (& my very first OOTD, eep!)

    February 11, 2013 /

    Firstly, my camera is pretty much dead. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to get it to come on, then trying to get it to focus is like coaxing my daughter out of the bath.. near impossible! It seems to focus on one side but not the other so my photos end up half blurred sometimes, frustrating. I’m desperately selling my life to try and raise £100 before I go away next week to buy a half decent one as I’m finally meeting my friends baby boy and I want to take lots of photos! I’ve raised £30 so far. Secondly, my hair. It’s dreadful. It’s in desperate need…

    #57 Let’s go to the movies, let’s go see the stars!

    February 10, 2013 /

    In honor of the BAFTAs this evening, I thought I’d share the list of movies I am hoping to see at some point in 2013. I’m sat with a top knot in my hair and pjs on, gorging on nutella on toast (well my one slice treat) wishing I was dolled up to the nines sat in the audience, but since I’m not, I feel like writing about movies and of course maybe I could come back to the list at the end of the year and see how many I did manage to see be it on DVD or if i’m lucky in the cinema. I’m going to the…

    Urban Decay Oz Pallet in Theodora Review

    February 6, 2013 /

    Firstly, my photos aren’t great. My wee point and shoot is starting to get old, it doesn’t like flash free photos anymore! I think once I get a bit of money behind me I’m going to save for something better, something of an investment as I do take a lot of photos, I just tend to use my phone now as camera flashes still aren’t the baby’s favourite thing. ANYWAY, I digress. Last month I made a lot of money on eBay selling some clothes that no longer fitted. It’s been sat in my paypal account for a rainy day and since last week was just seven days of rain…
