The fruit kick!

So I decided its time to gage up the fruit factor and made some super duper smoothies!

Ingredients: strawberry low fat yoghurt,
Raspberries and blueberries.

Easy peasy!

And slurp :) its really nice chilled so keep yoghurt in the fridge for a while first. Over and out!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

To all the mothers here and gone, the grandmothers, aunts and sisters. It's takes a village to raise a child..so they say.
Well my mumma did it by herself and I recon she did a spiffing job if I do say so myself :)
Treat your mums well today and for the other 365 days of each year.

Lots of love xxx

Book Club

I have decided to start my own book club for young adults such as myself.
No one reads enough anymore; statistics for the amount people read has decreased quite dramatically. I wonder if this is because it would mean you're a book worm if you enjoy that kind of thing!
Well, whats wrong with drifting off into an imaginary world and breaking away from real life for a while each day?
I can't seem to find any local book clubs that are aimed for young adults or that aren't online. So I have taken it upon myself to start one of my own.
Its a great excuse for a meet up and natter and a good way to encourage reading.
The only struggle is to work out which books to read...I know what my favourites are and will people be able to afford one book a month?
I understand that people are busy too or have different levels of reading pace so we might not all finish the book but thats ok...taking part is what counts right?

If you have any suggestions to help me build my young adult book club or any books you suggest please let me know, that would be a great help :)

Pick Pockets

As you may have read in my previous post, it would seem I was pick pocketed on Monday of the way home from work.
I had to go through the palaver of cancelling all cards and it was quite upsetting.
Well this morning I was shocked and surprised to receive a letter from the tottenham police station saying they had my property. Wow someone had handed it in! I've just got back from picking it up. All cards were there (mostly useless now). It had been thrown on the street and recovered by a patrol cop.
My card holder had somehow travelled from hackney-enfield-tottenham.
I'm very glad it's all okay but a bit creeped out that someone has had their mits on my stuff.
A word of advice, only take out cards that you need. Keep your train ticket/ oyster card separate from important cards and make sure you keep your valuables close to you and safe.

Good luck in the real world :)

What a way to start the week!

If you have something coming up this week or the next which you are dreading this should most likely cheer you up! As previous readers will know I work at a spa which isn't 100% joyous.

Well today started as most Mondays would, slightly crammed on the train with an oversized man opposite who decided it was ok to lean his knee in my knee..and he seemed to has an inability to close his mouth. Lovely.

At work today I came a cross a massive cockroach, luckily the boss took care of that; however as I went down the corridor towards the spa I spotted a poo. Yes, a human poo poo on the floor. Luckily he who deposited on the floor did actually clean that up. I thought I was at a spa not a nursery.

So after the annoying leg/mouth man on the train, cockroach and poo poo I was rather relieved to get out like Aladdin and gene from the cave...oh but it didn't end there!
I ran to the station and up the 30 something stairs to find I'd just missed the train and had to wait another half an hour for the next one.
Once I got to the station I reached in my pocket and realised I didn't have my oyster card! I have lost my bank card, provisional license and cinema card so when I got home I spent the next few hours phoning companies to cancel cards and report lost/stolen property!

What a day. Tired and watching tele now. There is a bright side though, the boyfriend earned major brownie points by bringing round these lovely roses and ferror Roche chocs x

I hope this puts a few smiles on a couple of faces and maybe cheers you up for whatever you have coming up xxx

Birthday :)

Today is my 22nd birthday and I have found myself reflecting. The last few years have not been easy to say the least but I feel encouraged and happy that now things are working out.
I have passed my massage therapy course so I can now begin to practice. I have been working for the spa for 6 months now and feel a little more comfortable here with much needed sense of humour.
Bring on the next few years of discovery in love, life and business.

I got some fantastic pressies this year including a business book for dummies, driving theory book, tele, smelly stuff and not forgetting the cuddly toy! Here's to the future.

May you realise and appreciate how far you have come and what is yet to be and I wish you enjoy every minute of it!

Chin chin!!!

STEP 1: NEW HAIR

Oh gosh, now the pout.

and for the grand finale...the swish!

I hope you have enjoyed this awful display of cameritis and laugh merrily into your mug of tea :)

All the best, me...
