Happy Birthday Tom!

It's my favourite ginger in the worlds birthday today

HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY TOM

 

 

 

Not going to lie, I'm sad that I won't get to spend it with you and do our usual thing of going out for a meal, but I'm glad you'll be celebrating in Spain. I still can't believe that your 18th was four years ago and right at this very moment in time.. this was you; puking out of a window, almost onto your cat.

 

But anyway, I can't wait until you're home and all of us 22 year olds will be jetting off into the Morrocan sun. Happy Birthday Thomas, have a drink on me.

 

Love you lots and lots :)

 

 



Happy Birthday Laura!

The 27th January marks the birthday of someone very close to me; someone I talk to every single day, and have done for the past year

LAURA BETH DEVINE!

She's the grand old age of 16, and yes that may seem weird that one of my friends is six years younger than me, but age is just a number. We have a laugh together, which usually involves me winding her up and pissing her off - fuck knows how she puts up with me really. I thought I'd help out on her birthday by listing a few things she can now do!





PURCHASE A LOTTO TICKET! (and if you win; I get half)





Engage in sexual activity with Jay Duffy, while I get his dad in the next room.



Legally change your name by Deed Poll (but maybe drop the Quiche)

So anyway Laura... I hope you have a DEVINE day and I shall see you later on with everybody else to see you open your presents. You have a grand total of three from me and one of them may make you cry with laughter.

 

Love you lots and lots! Mwah xxxx

 

 

 

 



How To Lose Weight...

People can tell you everyday that you're fine as you are, that you're not overweight and look great; but if you don't feel comfortable in your own skin then it's pointless. I may not look the weight that I am, but I still feel big and since September I have been on a weight loss journey. It may not sound a lot but in the last four months I have lost a total of 1st 6lbs. Below I will show you a few ways to lose weight without forcing fruits,vegetables and salad down your throat [because I hate these three things]

Join A Slimming Club
If you have a wage, what exactly is £5 a week? I joined Slimming World when I returned from Mexico and already I have made great friends. Sure, people can still follow the plan at home, but if you join a class then you know you're getting weighed weekly and won't feel the need to cheat. To know that people will ask how you done, and the consultant will give you certificates and prizes if you do great, sort of spurs you on. They can help if you don't understand anything too. So to me £5 a week is great, when you know you're guaranteed to lose weight.

Exercise
I'll be honest with you, I don't exercise an awful lot and a big part of this is because I hate people seeing me exercise. The thought of being in a gym with fitness freaks, and me there trying to run on a treadmill actually scares me. They probably won't be paying much attention to me, but I'm shy anyway and I just don't like the idea of this. So, what I do instead is 2-3 times a week, me and my mum will go for an hour and a half walk. It works my legs, which is the part I want to lose more fat from, so this is a bonus - plus it's free!

Get People To Support You
There's nothing worse than being on a diet and members of your family arrive home with a takeaway and you feel deprived and it throws you off track. Try and get people involved if they need to lose weight; or if they're lucky enough to be thin make them eat before coming home - and if need be lie to you what they had for lunch haha!

Fingers crossed I lose that extra one pound this week so I'll get my 1 and a half stone loss certificate! :)

What I'm Excited For This Year

My exact words two seconds ago were "I'm going to do a what I'm excited for in 2013 blog..."

The amount times I've forgot that we're in 2014 I swear. Even writing down appointments at work I've accidentally put 2013! Anyways...

Feb 2014

Me & Ashley Taylor-Dawson, who plays Darren Osbourne

Off to Lime Studios where Hollyoaks is flmed for the second time. The first time was last summer and it was so surreal seeing the people you watch on television daily, yet meeting them they were just so down to earth. I'm actually staying in Liverpool from the 19th-22nd this time, so we'll be going twice. I hope I meet alot of the cast!

Me & Stephanie Davis, who plays Sinead O'Connor

April 2014

Me & My favourite Scot

 April is quite a busy month. On the 7th until the 10th I am off to stay with my friends in Scotland for a few days. Hazel and her family have kindly allowed all 6 of us to stay in their home and I'm so excited to just spend a few days with them and explore another country [yes I am counting Scotland as abroad.] Blackpool was so fun, but it was over far too quick, so we have another couple of days this time! :)

I also have my brother's 18th later on in the month. Although he isn't doing anything special I still have to think of what the hell to buy him. Where has the time gone?!








July/Aug 2014

Me and my friends all went to Wales in 2010, and although some of you might think that sounds really lame, we all had an amazing time spending an entire week together. Drink, food and amazing company, what more would an 18 year old want? So this year, we're hoping to go abroad and do the same thing again, with the bonus of the sun! I hope Nicole brings her aftersun [She got sunstroke in Wales??]

Excited for Morocco!


Concerts!
I thought I better not put all of these separate....

Feb 10th - Taylor Swift's Red Tour with my besties Nicole & Rach. We're all going to wear Red, for obvious reasons.

March 27th - The Wanted with my best friend Rach, my mum, and her best friend. :)

May 13th - McBusted with my Northern gem,Becca. McFly and Busted are literally my childhood. I can't wait to be 10 again.

May 25th - Katy Perry with Rach and her family. I know this one is going to be amazing.

May 27th - Little Mix with Rachel, which was my birthday present. By far the best birthday present I have ever received! :)




Dec 2014
My Mum will be celebrating her 50th Birthday in December, and even now, 11 months beforehand I am being made to look for invitations and banners. Now everybody knows where I get my organised side from.

Best Friends Are The Best Thing

There's nothing I like better than spending a few hours with my best friends; whether we go bowling, have a meal or literally just walk around the shops and have a chat,  I enjoy everything. On Thursday we opted for the usual meal out (with some drinks this time.)

Nicole always jokes with me that I have to check the menu beforehand but I couldn't this time as it was a pub!

We both usually go for the lasagne; Nicole being the healthy salad-eater and myself being the pig who scoffs the chips.

We actually talked about our summer holiday this time and it looks like we've decided on Morroco! It never appealed to me before, but looking at photos and reviews it looks like an amazing country.

I love my best friends so much and I can't wait to spend ten whole days with them in July ♡
