Receipt for the dentist. It was ok, a small filling, xray and a teeth clean, which was 44.60 (I only had 40 on me so I will take the 4.60 when I go by next)
Probably the least amount of work i've ever had. I have a thing that when I go to the dentist, about 2 weeks later I'm back again. Maybe the drilling sets the other teeth off or somethng. Fingers crossed this isn't the case.
Something for me. I have so many recipes and cuttings from newspapers and things and no where to put them. I was going to rewrite all them out in a book but I thought I would make a recipe book for me. Well I didn't actually make the book, it came with a kit I got for Christmas. It has 6 pages, 6 pockets so I can slot all the recipes in each pocket. I have meat, chicken, puddings, calories, info and other and I can try and make more folders if needed by using one of the folders as a template. We'll see how we go. I want to decorate the individual pages a little more so I will do that in the next few days.
Some photos i've been meaning to take for a while. I thought that not having a flash would resulkt in really blurry horrible photos but they turned out pretty well really! And mo is quite the wriggler, so I was chuffed with them. There are a few more but these are just some. She is super cute:]
Yummy cheese and chives scones. I do make a mean scone! Normally I make about 9 - 10 but I always find they go hard after a few days, so I made 7 bigger ones (I ate one before I took a photo, I always think they taste better when hot with melted butter mmm) I might try egg instead of milk next time to see if that makes any difference.
Wrapping presents for someones birthday. Spent about 2 and half hours wrapping, and I wasn;t really wrapping loads and loads of thing. It just took ages for some reason.
Two new things from ebay. The first is a skin thing to protect my lovely shiny cute new mp3 player from scratches. It's silicone and feels lovely. The second is gloves for kettlebell lifting and exercising so I (hopefully) won't drop it again! They will also be handy for rowing and the elliptical!
Cups! These are from Matalan and cost just 2 pounds each and are super cool. They have like bamboo (something like that) actually inside the cup. Amazing!
I mad a carrot cake, the no sugar no butter type and it actually wasn't that bad! Better than the nasty non eatable chocolate cake. Next time, I'm thinking more carrots and a little butter, a little like scones. We use butter in them and that's not tooo sugarary. It can be worked on and perfected further :]
Flowers. I like the second photo a lot as the candle was on at the time and it lightens up the bottom of the petals a little. I have some flowers in my room that I got for my birthday on the monday which are 2 weeks old nearly and still blooming :]
You can't bear Doctor Who on a saturday! I quite like Donna as the assistant too. I think she would be my favourite out the three as the whole 'oh doctor I love you' that Rose and Martha did was a bit annoying after a while. Donna has balls.
I tried to make a healthy chocolate cake this week, after seeing how much such and carbs are in normal cake, more just too see if it was possible and it turns out it's not!
It had no eggs or butter, and instead of sugar, I used splender and it turned out like that <<< It rose a tiny bit but totally sunk when I took it out the oven. I've seen a recipe for carrot cake which looks like it might work a little better so I will probably try that in the week :]
Pickle pickle. Again. I will take some photos of Mo because I haven't for ages and I feel guilty now thinking about it. I tried the other day but the flash going off is just too bright and without it they are completely blurred. I'll keep trying though.
Nearing the end of my course, I have 3 units to go and then the assignment and I have a little idea in the back of my mind for that. We'll see though. I've been looking forward to doing to 'play' unit from the start though so I think i'll enough that one. Oh and I passed my last assignment!
My ouch foot. It's pretty bruised but not actually as painful as I first thought it would be, I'm quite suprised really. I thought I would have broken it or fractured it (hence why I washed my hair on the afternoon I did it because I thought I would need to go to hospital, how vain of me!) as it hurt so much when I did it but after few days I could walk much better on it.
This is something I got for my birthday. Ive wanted one for ageees and it's so so cool. I didn't know how much I would use it but it's amazing! You can bend the legs in all these weird and wacky ways and bend them around things to take more steady photos :D
I was swinging the kettlebell around on Saturday morning, and managed to drop it on my foot. It weighs so much and I cried more than I think I ever have, it was so painful! I put a cold flannel on and then some frozen sweetcorn, but it's really tender and sore..
The picture doesn't show too well the bump but it's there. I'm such a muppet :(
My new tv. It's not flatscreen plasma or any of that crap as I had the mount for the bigger tv and it's just for my room.. I love it, it's dinky cute and it has freeview built in so it's more tidy and none of those nasty wires hanging down!
More presents! From Al :) I went for a nap on my birthday (getting old makes you have to take naps) Mum and Dad were out and I missed the delivery,
Soooo my dad went and picked the parcel up in the morning and I got to open them in the evening and I'm super happy! I couldn't stop smiling :)
I've always wanted a digital photo frame and it's got a remote control so I can lay in bed and not have to get up to use it (getting older makes you lazy too) and the cutest little mp3 player! I've brought a skin to protect it and a armband so I can carry it on me when exercising and when I'm out too until my jacket. I love them <3
My birthday! I had a lovely day. I woke up a bit sleepy and achey (well very sleepy) and didn't open any cards and presents until after breakfast and a long shower. I got lovely presents - a new tv, smellies and a mug from my Mum and Dad. My sister got me lots of lovely lush things, a gorillapod, a book, lip balm (which is so so so cute!) and smellies. We also had carrot cake and chinese, which was very nice. :)
The tiger egg cup was what I bought at the Zoo, it's very cute and called to me!
Me and Sarah went to London Zoo on Wednesday, for my birthday! We had lots of fun, saw pretty much all the animals except the cheeta, which we totally forgot about and it was a sunny day for whole day except for about 15 minutes, so it was great. I was really pleased with my photos, I really love my new camera :] I was so knackered though, everything ached from all the walking!
Flowers my Mum got me for my birthday, which is on Thursday. Flowers always brighten my room up :]
Today I had an appointment with ENT but I can't be arsed to talk about that because it was a waste of time and I feel pissed off everytime I think about.
Because we were out of the hospital a lot faster than we thought, we were to the shops and I went into a little cheapy shop and they had crafty stuff, and it was actually pretty decent! I mean the buttons, are the exact same ones that I brought in a tray of all different colours a while ago. They were just a pound for all those! The ribbons are good for a few little projects I have coming up.
We always do a little bet thing in our house for the grand national and I managed to win! My horse wasn't even leading at any point until the last fence. I think I won last year too!
I felt a bit guilty because one horse had to be put to sleep after the race which is sad so I gave the money to a horse charity instead of spending it on something I probably wouldn't need anyway!
It's April and we have snow, pretty crazy really. We hardly get proper snow in London but we had so much and it settled for quite a while.
These are taken from the garden, the poor flowers don't look too happy about it though!
My new toy. It's a kettlebell and supposed to be one of the best things to use to keep fit. I've been wanting to get one for months and finally found a place that did them fr a reasonible price, it was 17.99 and my sister also got one so the postage was halved.
I tried it out for about 5 minutes (well one minute bursts!) and oh my! I can see why they are supposed to be so good! My heart rate after a minute was at 156, normally on the elliptical I have to really push it too get it that speed. And my legs are dying on me
But I like that!
The internet hates me today, it's taking forever to update this today >:( Angry face to that. Anway, cute photos of Pickle make it better. I'm sure I picked a different photo, but I can't be arsed to go back and change it as it'll take ages!
Not the best photo but I love it! She's sleeping on my slipper, she was there for ages. I love her, she's adorable :]
We went to the shops to return something and I popped into the card shop to get some cards (they do cheap cards, I hate buying expensive ones when 99% they just get chucked. I should make them really, anyway)
I picked out a few cards and noticed a 10 for 1pound deal which works out 10 tiny pence per card, so I got 10 and happily strolled out the shop happy in the knowledge I got a great bargain.. Until I got home and noticed a laundry mark on every single card! I don't get how it would have got there though :/ Anyway, I put my creative skills to the test and did my best to cover up the marks, shown in the photo.
Blimey it's April already! Where is the time going?
This is just a reminder for me to fill this book with recipes. I've been collecting bits and bobs for a while from tv, newspapers, magazines with the intention of filling the book up with tasty recipes but I seem to forget to do it. I've even got whole recipes stored in my phone as messages that are probably taking up space haha
I willlllll do it!
(Maybe next week)
Went to my sisters at the weekend for the day, this stabba stabba man as i've named him sits in their kitchen. I love it, it's just a cool thing.
