I've got thunder thighs due to my strong love of pies

After no activity two blogposts in one night! My friend Charlotte is an amazing blogger and always reminding me to update mine (which I forgot after she tells me anyway). I've recently started following Slimming World and talk about it on my instagram pretty often so thought I'd share my journey on here too!

I will be honest, I haven't actually joined Slimming World yet. I know the principles and I want to spend membership money on partying at Lost Village so I've been doing it at home with a bit of syns guesswork! I've lost a stone now so it's clearly working somehow.

That's all in jeopardy now though. I was hoping to limit my bad behaviour to Lost Village but I am hormonal and hungry as fuck. Honestly, I saw a picture of a munchie box on Twitter this morning and all day since it's been on mind. I've been researching where I can get one in Greater Manchester, imagining my dream Munchie box, wondering if I could buy a few Too Good To Go boxes and build one.

After a big bag of rainbow drops (oh hey 16 syns!!) fell into my face earlier I definitely can't stretch today's already eaten syns to a Chinese. So I made my own.

At the back is kale with sweetener and salt on it (synfree), baked in the oven for about 10 minutes. On my plate is 4 x Quorn southern fried chicken nuggets (4 syns), homemade chips (synfree), sticky five spice gammon made with lime juice instead of orange (1.5 syns) mixed rice and petit pois (synfree) and 20g of Aldi hoisin sauce (1.5 syns). So still 7 syns but a much healthier choice than a takeaway chinese!!

Now tucked up in bed with my nightly hot chocolate - hopefully tomorrow I will feel less hormonal rather than like a human hoover. Sweet dreams!

My friends are better than your friends

How do you get over a festival? Spend time with your favourite people of course! Boy, was it a good recovery week. Unfortunately I had to have ENT surgery before I could start having fun. I waited three years for it and I'm pretty sure it hasn't worked. My hearing is worse than ever - I can't hold the phone to one of my ears anymore because I can't hear it and I've nearly been run over about ten times now because I can't hear the traffic. But that's ok because I have wonderful people to cheer me up! I was blessed enough to be invited to my friend Charlotte's wedding on the Thursday. Charlotte is amazing - I met her through Twitter and she's one of the best people I know in Manchester. She moved up from London just before I did and she's smart, funny and sassy. She's the reason I ever write on this blog (she's encouraging as fuck) and she has an amazing blog herself. She got married to David, he is equally awesome. They are the kind

Southern hens try northern life

As I promised here is the hen do post finally! I've spent at least an hour this evening just trying to sort out my phone so my icloud starts working. I had SO many photos (mainly blurry or from whatsapp) that they had stopped loading when I selected them and it became impossible to get them from my phone into my laptop. Honestly it's been tough deleting them - I had at least 20 videos of the Vengaboys to sort through and it's been a real challenge deciding which to keep. So after that insight into my life onto the hen do...My best friend, Jen, got married to her lobster, Dan, last weekend at a beautiful venue in the New Forest. Before every good wedding comes the hen though and as it was in Manchester I was drafted in to help the bridesmaids plan it. Jen and I have been friends for about 8 years now - I met her through my old housemate and good friend, Lauren, and to begin with I thought she didn't like me. That's just Jen though; she's Scottish and honest

Thank you to my ex for breaking my heart – an open letter

I wrote this over a year ago to my ex. He was one of the reasons I left Bournemouth. Not to get away from him but because I realised I wanted more. I've toyed with the idea of publishing it ever since. For months I left this blog completely empty because I didn't think anyone would want to see my boring thoughts. Now I'm starting to write on it and I think I'm ready to share this as well.  To my ex, When I met you I wasn’t looking for romance. Fresh from a messy breakup with a selfish gambling addict I liked you because you made me laugh and smile. You made me feel safe and you treated me with kindness. I was naïve - to begin with it was agreed we weren’t super serious. Over the next five months I came to think that all the weekends together, the shopping trips, the nice meals out, the mini break we booked and the hours spent whispering our secrets to each other until the sun came up counted for something. The crunch came when I said we should make it Face
