An Amazing Discovery...






House of Dorchester hot chocolate!

So, I'd had quite a miserable day if I'm honest, when my sister entered my room pitying me hugging a teddy in my PJ's watching Friends, and offered me something to cheer me up. She had her arms behind her back, turned the light on, and cried 'LOOK AT THESE BABIES'. Firstly, this cheered me up alone. My sister is one of the funniest people I know! So witty, but oh so stroppy being a 16 year old. So she shoves this little delight in my face, and I couldn't believe she had made such a significant discovery!

It's a plastic spoon melted in to chocolate in a cup shape. I had the marshmallow one, where as Paige (my sister) had the chocolate fudge. All you do is heat 200ml of milk in the microwave for 3 minutes, place the spoon fixed to chocolate in the milk, and stir until its melted off the spoon. Absolutely amazing!

I can conclude that it was DELICIOUS. It definitely cheered me up, but couldn't believe that Paige hadn't notified me of this little gem sooner! I just had to share, I would feel selfish if I hadn't haha.

I've Been Busy...

But I'm back! Its been a whole 2 weeks since my last post, but I have just been so busy recently! So I do apologise. Firstly I'll just explain my absence.

For Bank Holiday Easter weekend I travelled down to Liams. He was home from uni for the Easter holidays, so I went down for a visit. It's nice going to his parents house, as I only ever really get to see them when Liam goes home. They are the most caring and sweet people! I was there from Good Friday until the following Tuesday, and every single day I went shopping. The only bad attribute for visiting Liam and his family is that my bank balance dwindles rapidly. He lives in Basingstoke, which has a lovely little shopping centre, and is close to Reading. Now, Reading, in my opinion, is great for shopping! So Saturday I dragged Liam around Reading holding all my bags, and rewarded him with a TGI Friday's for dinner.

On Sunday, we woke up and ate chocolate eggs for breakfast! I was pleasantly surprised with the egg that Liam got me :D


I then popped into Asda, with his Mum (for no other reason than all other shops were closed on Easter Sunday and we needed a quick fix). Liam and I then went to see Wrath of the Titans at the cinema. I didn't really want to see it at first, I just agreed for an easy life. But I did in fact think it was quite a good story.

Monday involved more shopping with his mum and dad, and a yummy roast dinner. Tuesday I just packed my case ready to go home (yes I did take a case for only 4 days), and had a major chill before I returned to work on Wednesday.

Even though I was only in work for 3 days this week, it felt like it was a month. Usually when work is busy the week goes quite fast, but this week was definitely an exception. 5 PM on Friday finally came, however there's no rest for the wicked as I was working until 1.30am at the football club! It wasn't all bad though, as Steph agreed to give me a hand on the bar. She was absolutely fantastic seems as she hadn't worked behind a bar before, and we were ever so busy. We had a great time :)

This weekend I have been a bit down because of personal issues, and Steph sweetly took me out for the afternoon yesterday. We went to Watford for, you guessed it, more shopping. We enjoyed a nice beer and burger in Whetherspoons for lunch, then hit the Harlequin. We had a laughing fit whilst eating the most delicious ice cream, and walked along cobbles discussing Ken Barlow from Coronation Street. I love her <3

Jade has been in Spain all week, and landed back in freeeezing England last night, so we popped round for a few hours to see her before she goes back to uni today. She has so much work to do bless her!

Anyway, that's just summing up what I've been doing recently, and again i apologise for the lack of posts! I have bought so many fantastic products over the last few weeks, so I'm planning to do a BIIIG haul.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter!

Mini Haul

So I've had a looovely weekend! This week was such a long week, I couldn't wait 6pm on Friday. I then pondered off to Steph's house for a girly sleep over with the girls and her niece. She is adorable. Such a funny evening and a perfect way to finish off the working week :)

Saturday involved working at the football club. I spent the afternoon soaked in beer as a barrel exploded as I was changing it. Brilliant! My parents were off out for the night, so instead of sitting in bored all night I decided to host girly sleepover number 2! The girls came over, we watched The Voice and BGT and noshed on some Chinese :) This was also the night my Draw Something virginity was taken. I cannot believe it took me so long to download the app!

Sunday consisted of peanut butter and jam on toast, a cheeky Costa, a Roast dinner, Nutella hot chocolate and a good old shop with my besty. So I'm now sat here tapping away in a food coma watching the Gavin and Stacey boxset :D

So, what I purchased today...

I was quite impressed with what i got today, and cannot wait to try out the Sally Hansen nail polishes and the Wake Me Up foundation! I'm hoping that it will actually wake me up, as Monday mornings I look like a zombie. I'm super excited to review these products!

Again, sorry for the horrendous picture quality. I'm off to sleep now before an early start tomorrow.
