Im flat-sitting for my Grandma & Grandad for two days whilst they're on a mini break kind of thing.. Some where in Devon - hardly exciting! So the 3 first things that excitedly jump into my mind whilst thinking of the perks were; FOOD - every grandparents' house is loaded with food we all know that, the printer (we don't have one at home) & last but definately not least.. Their coffee machine! So long boring cheap instant coffee mum buys... Hello a whole new coffee world.. Enter the KitKat Kappaccino.






To make one you will need:

  • A coffee machine.. or a cappacino sachet but it wont be the same
  • 1 KitKat
  • Espresso for coffee machine
  • Milk
  • Grater 
It's really simple all you do is make a cappaccino (1 espresso shot with steamed milk) add sugar to taste, pile the froth on top. Break the KikKat into two fingers, grate on on top of the froth (best to use a refrigerated KitKat as mine melted all over my hand) and place the other one in like a flake in a 99.. Just like that you've got a posh afternoon pick me up at home!

Travel to do list

As soon as I get a job I am saving up for a car, insurance etc etc.. because this week I passed my driving test YAAAY. I'm currently LONGING to travel new places. Granted I'll start small in the UK but then I want to go EVERYWHERE...Maybe I could blog about it, maybe that would be more interesting?

But right now in my jobless immobile state I can only dream, and this post is gonna help me get it outta my system for a couple hours.

Five Guys

I was reading TheLondoner's blog when I came across a page about the fast food restaurant Five Guys.. Unfortunately we don't have one in the UK but as soon as I get over to the US it's on my to do list! The food looks amazing! Check out the link to see what I'm talking about.


The Village Bicycle

Ok so I now probably look like I'm obsessed with TheLondoner's blog as she has shown me yet another place I HAVE to see.. This one a boutique.. Its good to keep it a secret but I don't think I have any readers anyways so its safe on this post.. I'll leave the honours to Rose to show you this must see boutique... (this ones a lil closer to home than Five Guys) : Looook Here!

Move over Instagram


I've been boiling to the brim with jealousy of all current iPhone owners for a long time now. A complete change of heart considering I've forever been team Blackberry & been convinced that a BB trumps an iPhone 10 times over. This was all down to a lovely app called Instagram. I've wasted hours of my life admiring other blogger's Instagram pictures longing that my contract will run out in no time and I can then do the switch (that most BB users have been doing..) But then on one faithful, beautiful day.. after admitting defeat, I was browsing Blackberry App World at all the camera apps in order to find something to distract me from the said iPod app, when i discovered my savior.. MOLOME... I'm not aware of any of my friends using it.. But they bloody well should.. It's basically the Instagram for Blackberry (probably not as good but good enough to keep me happy).  So now I can join the 'My week on Instagram' cult except I'll be using Molome.. If there's any Blackberry users with the same problem this is your answer!


Morning teapot of tea to get me started.
 Wake & Bake (one of my favorite pictures)
 Banana smoothie - It was gorgeous I did myself proud.
 The cute beads I got from Ebay (The colours aren't as bright as the photo portrays - but still cute).

Easter Sunday evening 'Beer & Blaze'
 Sunday morning 'wake' and bake - although some of us never slept.
 The GORGEOUS yumyum and slushie with Grandma after a spot of charity shop prowling.
 Ants new look...
 The AMAZING Double Decker, Rolo & Malteasers buns I made which went down a storm at my dad's girlfriends 40th.
 I left my mark on dad's fridge.. I like it..
 BOGOF on Jaffa Cakes at Spar! I couldn't pass up on an offer like that!
 Me one weekend (I was just practicing with Molome really)

Baby Noah makes a debut on my blog! How beautiful is this pic!
My to die for shoes from New Look (they broke the second time I wore them and I'm very broken over it but that's what D.I.Y is for people!)

 O.P.I Nicki Minaj range in 'fly' officially my favorite nail varnish!


That's all for now folks!




























something personal...

When my life comes crashing down before me, it’s you who I turn to. When I’ve had the best day of my life, I share it with you. When I conquer my fears or shed a few tears, it’s always you.
It’s you I need in my darkest hour, I want you in my highest moment. I can’t imagine how i’ll cope the day you walk away. What I can imagine is you and I; I only want you, no other guy.

When I look back at how we met I wonder if it was fate, all the odds were against us and yet here we are mate. OK so I’m not your girl, and it pains me every day. But since the night I met you, I haven’t been the same.

I don’t think you quite get it, I’m crazy for you. No question about it, not a single doubt. Without you around the days are long, but the hope that you’ll soon be around keeps me going strong. I don’t know why I’m rhyming this isn’t meant to be a song. But then again this is just my feelings, there is no right or wrong.

Every minute spent with you feels like a second, every hour without you feels like a decade.
I can’t even watch a romantic film without missing you. I don’t want us to be perfect i just want us to be an us. I’d never let you go, never see you get hurt. I’d always have your back and be right by your side. I want to be there for you when your times are hard and I wanna be the first person you share your triumphs with.

It sounds so cliche, everything I'm saying. But I can't stress enough how much you mean to me. You may not realise but you make me a better person, a person I wanna be. I want to leave behind all the things that bring me down, move on and up with you in hand.

I’ll probably never tell you all this, it will probably forever be unsaid. Each time I try it will just remain in my head. When I can’t see you, after getting my hopes up, it feels like my chest is about to collapse. No one’s ever had such a strong hold on me like you and I didn’t even see it coming, I just fell.. Heart first.

A golden Ticket!

So I'm posting this in case anyone else appreciates this as much as my sister and I..
I have a bit of an Ebay problem sometimes, occurs every time i get paid money i don't need and instead of saving i impulse buy.. so one day i though about treating me and my sister to something we'd always talked about and lusted after whenever we'd had munchies...


Its not an official one but its a replica which i thought was better as it actually looks like the ones on the film! The chocolate was only cheap what i call Christmas chocolate (the chocolate you get in Christmas tree decorations and stuff like that) but i just so happen to love that kind of chocolate so i was made up

And the best bit? you actually get a golden ticket! you can just see the edge of it in this picture, however someone used my ticket for roach which broke my heart so I didn't get to take a picture. I did take a pic of my sisters though,.. Although i was disappointed that it didn't look like the one in the film i let my childish side take over and was just happy to say i had one!


I got this Wonka bar from HERE ...

Dangerous Lady

"No one thinks a seventeen-year-old girl can take on the hard men of London's gangland, but it's a mistake to underestimate Maura Ryan: she's tough, clever and beautiful - which makes her one very dangerous lady.Together, she and her brother Michael are unbeatable but notoriety has its price. The police are determined to put away Maura once and for all - and not everyone in the family think that's such a bad idea. When it comes to the crunch, Maura has to face the pain of lost love in her past - and the dangerous lady discovers her heart is not make entirely of stone."

This was my first Martina Cole book, recommended to me by a friend and it was one of the most amazing reads ever. The story line was never dull and it really was the definition of a book you cant put down. Following Maura's story is once again moving and inspiring - Martina really rocks the girl power vibe as she does best. Even if your not a big reader I seriously recommend you read this book if nothing else!



Coming one day soon (after I read it) the sequal to Dangerous Lady: Maura's Game.
