I’ve been thinking about sharing my experience of bullying for a long time but have just never gotten around to it. However, a few days ago I practically came face to face with an old bully and decided there was no better time. I was bullied more than once at school by unrelated people. At one point I received a note threatening to rip my head off and have it shoved down my throat – all because I was good friends with someone else’s boyfriend. Various other minor things happened with that person too. But the one instance that majorly …

Slimming World weigh in #31 – the maintain but NSV one…
After my shock loss last week I went home feeling back in the game, with less tooth pain, and ready to rock the week; it didn’t last long though. I just can’t seem to get back in the groove lately. I am on plan a lot of the time but then I will just give in to temptation and it all goes to pot. Though on a positive spin, I have got myself out of the mindset that “Oh well, I’ve had this <insert naughty food here> now, I may as well just carry on!”. Instead I think, no, I …
Recipe – New York vanilla & salted caramel baked cheesecake #GBBOBloggers2015
When I saw the bake themes for dessert week I immediately decided I was going to do a crème brûlée; as much as I love cheesecake, I’ve never done a crème brûlée so thought this was the perfect opportunity.

Slimming World weigh in #30 – the highly unexpected one…
After my gain last week I was determined to lose that this week. As I said last week my decreased appetite had returned and I was really just eating a load of rubbish. This week though as much as I wanted to eat, I just couldn’t as it was too painful owing to a wisdom tooth infection – huge blooming ouch! The times I could manage to eat I just grabbed whatever was about, and with the pain I didn’t feel up to cooking either so more rubbish was consumed. I went to the emergency dentist the day before weigh …
Recipe – Good old plain baguettes (Hollywood style) #GBBOBloggers2015
Bread week. The bane of my life. I am positively rubbish at bread, it always fails, and I always have to try again. Which is exactly what happened this weekend. I decided to try baguettes as I’ve never made them before and they were quick(ish) as I’ve been busy – it was another late night baking session on Saturday! I found Paul Hollywood’s recipe from his very own website and I followed it to the t. But my dough looked way too sticky. So I did it again…and it ended up exactly the same! Then I just thought sod it, I’ll …
