Quick

Hi All!!

So I don't have an awful lot to report tbh, but I am sticking to my resolution to update this regularly! So since I last blogged I have made fudge...recipe to follow in a future post...I have gone back to uni, Monday was my first day back and consisted of a 9am - 7pm day, which actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I started a new module (a Shakespeare one), and it is lovely! My teacher is great, and it is such a nice change from reading about the law! I have also been contemplating entering this years Great British Bake Off, though I am not 100% sure yet, I will keep the blogging world updated on that front! Anyway, I have to dry my hair, as I am heading over to Westminster later to have drinks with a friend, who is off to Syria for 6 weeks on Sunday!

Since I have nothing really to entertain you all with here is a cute pic I found whilst looking through some from the summer, this one was taken in France :)

2011...

Hi everyone!

So we are a few days into 2011, and so far it is going quite well! Here is a quick round up of my year so far:

- On NYE, 15 minutes into 2011, I won a bottle of Prosecco in a raffle at the bar downstairs
- I woke up on new years day to an email saying 'happy birthday from Geronimo pubs! If you and three of your friends come to us for dinner you can have a free bottle of Prosecco'! Bargain...especially since my birthday isnt till August!!
- I got gig tickets to see The Bravery in February for £2.75! (I had a voucher for Orange Rock Corps to use and I was just left with half of the P&P to pay! This pleased me on a number of levels: bargain, I didnt think I'd be able to get more than one ticket with the voucher (I got 2), and I thought it had run out on December 31st!


Other than all of that I have been sticking to my exercise regime, though today I woke up and could barely walk! If I sit for too long I still can't :P! I have also managed to get a few days work with uni which is pretty nifty! The one thing that is making me a bit :( is the fact that I haven't had a holiday in what seems like FOREVER! Everytime I see this incredibly gorgeous advert it makes me long for balmy champagne filled evenings by the Seine! Here's hoping I get to Paris some time this year!! Anyway, enjoy the advert and let me know how your 2011's are going!

New Years Eve!

Welcome to my new blog! I decided to leave it till today to write my first post, part of the reason for having this is that in the past I have attempted to write blogs but after a couple of months I forget about it for one reason or another! So I have decided to incorporate the writing of my blog into one of New Year Resolutions, which surprisingly enough is going to be the topic of this post!

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas where they completely over indulged! I went back home where masses of chocolate awaited me so I definitely did!! Anyway without further ado here are my NYR, which I will hopefully use this blog to document and prove that I have done! This way anyone that follows my blog can be my watchdogs and I'll kind of feel like I have to do them!! :)

1. Lose Weight (My friend's father is a gym instructor/personal fitness guru, and has already given me the first part in my fitness regime: I have to walk up and down the flight of stairs in my building ten times every day...I will attempt to include with that many gym visits. I guess this resolution also encompasses the 'go to the gym 3 times a week' resolution too).

2. Cook a new thing every two weeks (I realise that doesn't really go with the losing weight resolution but i LOVE cooking. My Dad calls it 'Food Porn' as I spend half my life reading food blogs or books, watching cooking shows...its ridiculous)

3. Keep a 2011 Scrapbook (I did this two years ago and it turned out to be quite fun, and forced me to go out more. I am a law student so it is so easy to just stay in reading allll the time, which quite frankly is dull and doesn't make for exciting memories!)

4. Update my blog at least once a week (Fairly self explanatory)

5. Buy a lottery ticket every week (This is an odd one I know, but I am testing out a theory that the only reason "people never seem to win anything on the lottery nowadays" is because people hardly ever actually buy lottery tickets! However to make money I am going to have to win £10 every two months, which I don't think will happen, but I suppose I could end up with millions off the back of a NYR and how great would that be!!)

6. Learn to make an item of clothing every month (Perhaps slightly ambitious...but I am going to start with an apron, which I hear should be fairly straightforward!)


Anyway, that is all I have come up with so far, no doubt more will be added over the next few weeks as normal, but hopefully I will at least stick with the ones that are there! I hope anyone reading has enjoyed my latest post, feel free to bug me if I don't write regularly enough!! I hope you all have a great NYE, let me know what you get up to!

Lucy
