Rebel Yell

Billy Idol-Rebel Yell 

such a good song, I love it when you are just shuffling your whole iTunes library and you get to listen to songs you forgot you even had. 

I made fairy cakes this afternoon and me & Nial (my boyfriend pronounced just like neil) decorated them with baby blue icing (Man City colours of course!!) They turned out really well and were delicious considering we made them with the Basics sponge mix (available at Sainsbury's Supermarkets) And it just goes to show that Basics ranges just like any other at the supermarkets (e.g. Asda Smartprice, Morrison's M value) are equally as nice as the "posh" brands just more on the purse friendly side. 

You will probably find me reviewing a lot of the "cheaper" brand products in the next couple of months anyways considering me, Nial and my friend Barry are looking into moving in together (again an idea that came about to make the cost of living cheaper for us all, hopefully it will all work out okay) 

As you can probably tell already I like a good bargain or two, but who doesn't when were living in a recession, any means to save a bit of money I am going to go for that option everytime :) #superscrimperchristmas ahead of me and I honestly cannot wait for the challenge :) 

Anyways folks time for me to relax and enjoy the rest of the evening I have left before I go to bed, will update you all tomorra.

Love Chloe xo

Okay so a lot happens in a couple of years and I suppose I haven't had time to blog although you could say I have been pretty lazy as well and coming home from work after doing a 6-2 shift all I usually want to do is have a nap. I also have had the major problem of coming to a mental blank regarding any ideas for this blog but all this is coming to an end today! I know I have said in the past that I will blog regularly I promise I will and everything but having re-evaluated everything in my life at the moment I have realized that I have been missing out on something that used to bring me some joy which just happens to be blogging :)

I have been playing with a lot of ideas for this blog in my head, it has always been my baby and I think it's about time that she grows up a little bit! This blog started off as just a place to share things that were happening in my day to day life, kinda like an online diary for me to keep forever I suppose but that was quite a few years ago now and I have grown up and changed in myself, i'm different to that person I was then and some of my interests have changed since therefore I want this blog to truly reflect me now and everything that I believe in. 

I suppose you could say I have always been interested in food (Hence the name of this blog, but that's another story) and yes that does make me sound like I eat a lot of the stuff, which in hindsight I do eat a lot more than I should do or need to but I do enjoy food and I love more than anything to try new dishes and find more things that take my fancy :) whilst I enjoy food I am also participating in the weight watchers pro-points plan and am trying my very hardest to stick to it. A couple of weeks ago I had lost just over a stone which made me very happy however I fractured my arm recently which has meant I am not as active as I normally am because I am off work however I don't want to let this setback make me gain any more weight than I already have :( I am now only a couple of pounds lower than my original starting weight so I am putting all my hard work back into starting the plan with a fresh new mind and perspective this morning. 

Anyways that is enough from me for now and I will post again later this afternoon and hope to get started on the renovation of this blog! :) 

Love Chloe xo

am back......... for good this time ;)

Okay, so i'm an absolute numpty who forgets to blog for like a whole year but whatevs, this time i promise to blog more permanently and dedicate time to it. Many things have happened in the past year, for example: i broke up with my boyfriend of nearly 2 years; i finished my a-levels and pretty much nearly failed them, i got a part-time job, i met my new partner and we've been going strong for almost 9 months now :) and i started another college to carry on with my studying however it did not turn out as well as was hoped and i left the course, i am now working 4 days a week and searching for other things to work towards, because unfortunately i have no idea what i would like to grow up and become, ever since i was a little girl all i ever wanted to do was to be a forensic sceintist, couple of years later that dream changed to one of becoming a high-powered lawyer, although, neither of these dreams will be happening in the near future, however, i have always had a passion for fashion and photography and jewellery so whether i could make something of that i do not know yet :/ also most (i say most but it's pretty much ALL) of my friends have gone away to uni so i will be honest, in the past months i have felt really alone and if it wasn't for my boyfriend and my friends (at work) and family i would have been truly alone. Thankgod i have them really :) i've also been thinking of ideas for this blog, it still is my baby but i want it to become a little more grown up, like a grown up diary of my life that i can look back on and remember things i've done, so in order to mould it into my new idea i am going to be more honest about how i feel about things and about everything that happens in my life over the next few years. i think honesty is the best policy and it can be hard for me to show people my feelings, especially when i am upset and i usually just keep it all bottled up inside of me, but this blog can help to become my release :)
anyways, i dont wan't to be getting all emotional on my first post do i now? :p
i hope everyone is okay and i hope you all enjoy to read my blog, i'll try my very best to entertain and become like a sort of agony aunt to you if that's what you need, i'm always open if anyone ever wanted advice, just send me an email anytime.

lots of love,
chloe xx

Well, its been quite a while since i've last posted but a lot of things have changed and I genuinely forgot about the blog and then didnt have any time to post anymore but things are looking up and back on track and I have plenty of time on my hands right now :) so it's all good :)

I have finally finished my A Levels (results day in august), been sorting everything for my new course in september and finally got a job :D (it took some time), had my 18th birthday which was a learning curve in itself and have just generally been learning alot more about myself as ive had time to reflect on what I want in life and what ive learnt so far along the way :) I am now more comfortable with myself and learning to love me for who I am not who someone wants me to become. I am in control of my future and right now i'm just generally in a very happy place :)

I want to become more involved with this blog again and I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I love writing it.. I want to give advice to people, I want to help where I can and I want to share with the world things that make me smile and make the days more enjoyable :)

There have been a few tears along the way (quite a few actually) and moments of anger but also ALOT of happiness and I now know who my true friends are and i'm going to keep them close by.. I agree with my cousin when she says "her friends are her whole world" I wouldn't be the person I am today without them and I woudn't change them for anything :) xx

Almost Summertime :)

I am excited for summer to begin I must admit, however I am not looking forward to more hot weather I know that sounds ridiculous but all I do is burn and tbh I do Love cold weather cuz to be honest it is a lot easier to be cold and put on a jumper to warm up rather than being hot and trying to cool down :) that is one of the reasons I love cold weather plus my birthday is in october so its pretty cold then also :) I'M 18 THIS YEARRR :D ahhhhh i'm soooo looking forward to my birthday!

Not much has happened folks since I last post, Im dying my hair again.. blonder.. right now and have finished all of my AS exams and have decided to keep chemistry so next year will hopefully be studying, chemistry, psychology, sociology and law :) so looking forward to that.. also there might be a job for me in the pipeline which is great news and also Harley has just celebrated his 17th birthday and we are going to be celebrating 13 months together on friday :) 13 months can you believe it!

Also last friday my prom happened a year ago (25th june) and also that happens to be the night that michael jackson died so was pretty sad remembering it all but all in all there were some good memories and obv sad ones coming home and seeing the breaking news flash up on the t.v and also some frienships have been lost since prom night but everybody moves on right? and i'm pretty happy in this place right now :) things seem to be looking up for me finally and i'm just so grateful for it!

hope everyone is well :)

Love.Love.Love :)

Wellllllll, 2 days ago me and my loverly, wonderful boyfriend had been going out for a whole year :) ...milestone in our relationship and I was just soooo sooooo happy (; anyways to celebrate we went to the cinemas and watched the new Prince of Persia film that FYI is amazinggggg :) he bought me a couple of presents and I made him some yummy cakes!

Apart from that i've been revising (or attempting too) for my AS exams which are coming up..but managed to soak up a bit of sunshine yesterday whilst revising which was pretty good :) but still abit scared for my exams as I kinda really need to do well to get good grades next year aswell...argh what is with exams and the stress they bring :( but have also been watching some films and catching up on tele that i've missed which was a plus point of being on study leave...just dont want it to end!

I'm also in need of having a big think about what career I would like to pursue in the future which seems to get closer and closer everyday and I am still in the lookout for a part time job (a whole year later and still without one) and really wish I had some hobbies but yano i'm kinda boring like that, haha :) although I am having long thinks about what things I like and what things make me tick and everything I'll eventually get back to you all on that front and will fill you in on what I decide :)

I'm still really into my music though..thats one thing that will never change and have currently been listening to some radio1 live lounge covers and a bit of The Cure!

Hope everyones have a wonderful half term and enjoying the sunshine whilst it lasts :D xxxxxx
