Hard to believe we’re three months in to 2015 already! The past few months have really flown by for me and a lot of changes have happened in my personal life fairly quickly… Split up with Artur Moved out Moved above a commercial premises, albeit temporarily Started dating Went to London on a whim – basically it was 4am and my new partner (Ryan) and I decided to hop on…

Happy New Year
Happy New Year! Hard to believe 2014 will be over soon, it feels like this year has really flown by! Too fast in some places… I’d like to thank all the people in my life that made this year great! There have been laughs, tears, drunken nights out, weekends away and a bunch of nights in. 2015 is already shaping up to be a great year with many things already…

Baking Essentials
I’ve been interested in baking for the past 5 or so years now, I like to think (and have been told) that my techniques, recipes, decorations etc have been getting better over this period. I think having the right equipment helps a lot! Here’s is a list of MY bakeware essentials and why I find them useful. 1. Cookie cutters Not just for baking cookies! I’ve found they can also…

DVD Organisation
I’m a DVD/Blu Ray collector. I like to own physical media over electronic copies of anything, including books and music. However, my growing collection has taken over the living room. Here’s one of our bookcases – the tidiest one! Problem is, even though our bookcases are generally tidy. I can never find the DVD or Blu Ray I want to watch. There’s no organisation. When we moved into this house,…

Bake Ware Organisation – The ‘Equipment’
Remember when I said I was sorting through my bake ware and that I started by organising the ‘supply’ cupboard? I made the decision to stop procrastinating and get on with organising the ‘equipment’ cupboard as well. 🙂 Here’s what it looked like before: I took everything out and started grouping like items on the kitchen work tops together as follows: Party supplies Pans and tins Cupcake cases Cupcake decorating…

Collectormania Milton Keynes 21
This past weekend (17th-18th May) was the 21st Collectormania at Milton Keynes and the 6th that I’ve been to. I went along on the Saturday with my family. The main draw for me was to meet Billy Boyd (Pippin from Lord of the Rings) and some World Snooker Champions: Mark Selby, Neil Robertson and Shaun Murphy. The day for me, started at 5.30am! We got to Milton Keynes at around…

Happy Birthday to me!
So, Wednesday (7th) was my birthday! I had the whole week off work and decided to do a little something each day to celebrate. Monday – BBQ As it was early May Bank Holiday in the UK, all my family had the day off work and decided to throw me a birthday BBQ at my house. In true fashion, we had too much food prepared! My sister made me a…

Star Wars Day Party 2014
Happy Star Wars Day and, of course May the 4th be with you. If you weren’t aware today is international Star Wars Day, not something I’ve celebrated greatly in the past. Besides wishing my Star Wars fan friends/family a Happy Star Wars Day. But, this year my dad decided we should watch all 6 films back to back! Because, why not! We’ve never attempted watching them all in one go…

International Women’s Day 2014
March 8th was International women’s day, not a holiday we celebrate in the UK. I’d not even heard of it until Artur told me about it. They celebrate it in Poland and it’s customary to buy a small gift for the women in your life (partners, mums, sisters etc). Not that we’ve ever celebrated it like that together, or in anyway really. This year, however, we went to Weston-Super-Mare with…
