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.

I like to squeak, how do you speak? | Book review
Both of the boys love noisy books – well they’re noisy themselves so of course they would! – though N doesn’t quite get the concept yet so just presses buttons randomly, whereas J likes to match the noisy buttons with the book now.

How Do You Speak? is the story of a mouse who goes around asking the farm animals how they speak as he thinks it’s strange and that his squeak is …

However, after watching Wednesday’s show and seeing the showstoppers, I eventually changed my mind to do a cheesecake – I just could not resist! I thought I would go with a simple one so started with New York vanilla flavour but then thought how can I fancy it up a bit, so I added some salted caramel to it. The result – a …
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 …
