A SCENTED CANDLE ADDICT!!!!!

i like to use them everyday!

i got:


this one makes my room smell like freshly made vanilla cupcakes mmm










so good! smells like margaritas!







thats all i have to say for now as i wrote a proper blog yesterday and firefox quit on me

P.S I'm still addicted to watching OZ near the end of season 4 at the moment. its so good!

argh im ill at at moment.
sucks.
i cant stop wheezing, coughing, i feel kinda hot, blocked nose blah
i did have aches and pains and a headache but im taking tablets for that so that ok.
the thing that sucks the most is the wheezing. im sure i must be annoying my boyfriend with it since its loud

arghh rubbish. its so nice out there and i cant even go and do anything without being more out of breath. hope i get better soon. my boy is looking after me so thats good


better news my Graze box came today eeeeee
i was so excited.


mmmmm

i think its pretty cool idea that for 2.99 per a box including posting you can get healthy fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, dried fruit and natural treats all in a box to snack on all day which is all heathly for you. mmm seeds, nuts, fruit and stuff mmmm love
if you use a code i got when i signed up which is this H2R371C you get your first box for a £1.
id check it out. they have so many foods to choose from. i also like the fact that you can cancell it any anytime which is handy.

ohhh my first box is yummy. i cant wait to get more oh and i cant wait to get better either. hearing myself wheeze is not fun! back to bed i go!

i swear im totally addicted to green tea!
i cant stop drinking it. i swear i drink like 2 pints of it a day mmm green tea which helps as im trying to lose some weight and stuffs.
ive been pretty much using my cross trainer for halr an hour everday and drinking at least a litre of water a day and like 1 or 2 pints of green tea too.
ive also not been snacking as much as a used too which is good and ive been eating salad or veg with nearly all of my meals so i am trying.
i dont seem to get hungry as much anymore and i seem to get fuller quicker too maybe its cos of the whole water green tea drinking.
so yeah i guess im doing ok. first time ive done this exericising kinda diet thing so we shall see.


erm erm so what have i been upto? not too much.
met up with with rdpixie yesterday and we went for some tasty cake and a chat.
it was awesome to see her as i havent seen her in fricking ages and i had alot of fun with her
cant wait to see her again.
i cant believe i was still drunk at 2pm. crazy! i also cant believe that i didnt finish the tasty cake i got!
shereen? not finish cake? woah! that never happens.


erm what else have i been upto.....erm spending time witrh my boy, uni, working oh
me, my boy and strawberry_bomb went to go see watchmen on wednesday.
id not read the comic or heard anything about it so i was interested in seeing it.
i guess i thought it was cool but yeah i dunno. i dunno what to think really.

it's tsui's fault but ive joined up Graze.

ive managed to get the day off in april so i can go to sinope's wedding. im looking forward to it as ive never been to a wedding before and ill get to see her on her special day
prob means ive gotta buy a dress and shoes and look like a real girl
wowzers. that will be interesting!!

thats all for now xxx

things are going good with the exercise machine at the moment.
its only been a week that ive had it for now but ive managed to do half an hour everyday.
i didnt think to get any scales so i could weigh myself before i started excerising to see if i do actually lose any weight. silly me.
though it is amazing how pricey scales are ahh well i need them so im gonna have to buy them.

sunday was cool as me and strawberry_bomb had a bake day was alot of fun.
i made these but without the lemon peel on top:

got they were tasty mmmmmm. would deffo make those again. i got the recipe from Bake by Rachel Allen.
ky chose a nigella recipe which didnt go to well. when it comes to Nigella i dont trust her with cupcakes as she knows nothing but brownies on the other hand she sure knows how to make those!!!
ky and i have decided to have a monthly bake day which will be awesome as we'll get to try new recipes every month.

this book came on monday which was amazing!

i used to go to the hummingbird bakery alot when i worked on portobello road and oh my god the cakes are fricken amazing!! i used to get them all for free which was even better.
they have cupcakes to cookies to brownies to muffins to cakes to buiscuits mmmm the images in the book make me wanna drool

its so scary to think that i finish uni in may. weve just been given our last project which is scary but kinda cool cos it means were not far from uni being over for the year. it kinda scary to think we will have work experience in the industry next year. im sure it will be fun though. uni is still abit annoying.
one example is the head of my course still hasnt given me my referal project for the group project i failed and ive been bugging him for 3 weeks now!! i saw him on monday and asked for it and he said he'd give it to me and was even in today. every time i go to see him he always says "oh fuck sorry i forgot. ill do it soon" riiiiiiiiigggght!

driving lessons are going ok. i really need to get into the habit of checking mirrors all the time and i need to sort out my steering though it is better than it was last week and im getting better at round abouts and stuff but sometimes my steering is abit wrong....like ill over turn or under turn. im getting better at holding my position so thats cool

im so addicted to come dine with me. i so cant stop watching it. anyone else as addicted as i am?

my sister who lives in florida called me which was awesome as i haddnt spoken to her in a while. was good to see how her and the kids are doing and i so hope to be able to visit her again this year.
i had so much fun there with her and the kids last year, the weather was amazingly hot and everyone seems to friendly. oh and i forgot the food mmmm america snacks. oh so yummy!
my fave chocolate bar was a version of twix that was a dark chocolate cookie buiscuit base with peanut butter on top then covered in chocolate like normal mmmmm

i am now with excerise machine yay.
me and my other half perchased a cross trainer and it came on monday.
i swear since ive been with my boyfriend ive put so much weight on and plus i love food waaaaaaaaay too much.
arghh food. anyway so yeah ive been doing half an hour on the machine everyday while watching tv since we got it which meant ive burnt 250 calories a day. not sure if thats enough or not. is it enough?
ive also been trying to drink at least a litre of water and making sure i have breakfast as i usually dont and snack loads through the day, i have either special k or wholegrain soya and linseed toast mmmm.
im trying. ive not really done this semi diet exercise thing before so i guess ill see how it goes.

still need to sort out my sleeping but i dont see that happening any time soon.

its crazy to think i finish my second year of uni in may and may is only a couple months away. then after the summer its my last year if i pass this year first. crazy hey. i know in the third year we have to do work experience in the industry which is slightly scary but cool. i say its slightly scary only because it means that im gonna have to properly start learning programs as i dont really know how to use them.
ian got me a photoshop cs 3 dvd which seems really good as they have all the exercises on the dvd so you can follow the person whos teaching you and do the same task and it has lots of different section to learn in nice sized chunks. I also got a flash cs3 and illustrator cs3 dvd which seems to have been made in the same way so i dont see why i wont learn! just need to get started on it.

i kinda understand flash a little bit so i tried to make banners for my friends business as she asked me if i could.
thats the address for her buisnesss.she makes all the stuff herself which i think is pretty cool so check it out!
Voodoo bettys boutique - handmade rockabilly and berlesque accessories
i like the banners i made but not sure how to change swf files in gifs properly :/


i had my driving lesson on tuesday and it was cool. was my first time on a proper main road with lots and lots of round about and it went well. alot of people kept over taking me which was annoying but oh well.
it wasnt as scary driving from home and back as i thought it would be so yeah lessons are going well. she said im inproving with every lesson

it my friends birthday so i should be going to croydub at the weekend at the black sheep bar.
theyre having another dubstep night and i think its gonna be awesome as the first one they did a couple months ago was awesome so that will be cool.

ps. check out skys set spring in my step! she looks beautiful as always!!!

uni is still abit sucky but to be honest i havnt bothered to go in this week.
my projects due in on monday and i havnt done much opps.
i sometimes wonder if ill ever find my motivation ever again i really do wonder.

its crazy how much i miss my boyfriend right now. he was with me from saturday till yesterday afternoon since thats when he wrent home and ill see him tomorrow evening after work. so its not like ive got long till i see him but ever since we started dating 8 months ago today we have practically spent pretty much everyday together, so its kinda like we live together. i know it sounds crazy that its been like that since the start but i love it. hes become my best friend as well as my boyfriend. im so excited to see him tomorrow

im also excited/slightly cared but my driving lesson next week. ive had 6 lessons so far and my teacher said in my lesson next week shes going to want me to start driving from home and back, which im slightly scared about but im sure if she didnt think i was ready she wouldnt push me to do it.
i live on a one way system to the high street so she'll have to drive somewhere else thats easier for me to handle then ill drive to my lesson. its kinda crazy she wants me to drive home since the lesson i had last week was the first time id met traffic lights and a round about. crazy,
i hope it goes well.

another reason why im excited is that me and my boy went halves on a cross trainer. haha you might wonder why id be excited about that but it will be cool as i feel really fat right now and wanna lose abit of weight so i guess thats a good way to start plus ill get to watch tv at the same time too which i bet will make it easier.

it was lovely to see everyone who was at skys and johnstitch's engagement party last week saturday. it was fun

i really wanna get back into baking again as i havnt baked in ages.
what are your fave baking recipes?


i still cant seem to get my sleeping sorted. arghh. im still not falling asleep until after 4am which doesnt help when your boyfriend does it too
xxx

opps
