Forgotten Blog.

I keep forgetting about this little blog I need to make more of an effort to keep it updated. My last post I'd just got my job and all was good, well 6 months later and I'm unemployed again boo! However I'm staying positive, I have an interview on Wednesday for a good job that I really want so here's hoping that something comes of it.  I did however buy myself a pretty new dress!! :)

Before I gave up on the blog I was talking about my weight loss attempt and I think I'm doing pretty well :) At my heaviest weight I was 269 pounds and I am currently 242 pounds :) I'm proud of how much I've lost and think I'm doing quite well but I still cant see much difference in my body which is really annoying. My sister came to see me today and got all excited about how much weight I'd lost which is funny cos she's only just seen me a couple of days ago its not all disappeared from then! Lol. Anyways I thought I'd add a couple of photos so I can hopefully see some difference. 

269 pounds

This was me at 255 pounds I'll need to take a more updated photo.

Hopefully I'll remember about this wee blog and keep updating it haha.

Update

Hiya!!

Its been so long since I updated on this I have no idea when it even was :S sorry about that lovelies!!

Well whats new? I discovered Pinterest lol I was hours on there and it makes you feel nice and creative!! :P

I GOT A JOB!!!
I'm a couple of weeks in now but its been great, I'm in the Citizen's Advice Bureau :) just doing admin, but I also get to go to the Psychiatric Ward in the local hospital twice a week which I absolutely love! Its an amazing experience and I really look forward to it every time, it does however mean I have bucket-loads of paperwork when I come back but that's ok lol I'm only in for a 6 months contract but hopefully I can get kept on, if not I have some money for Christmas and it means I get some experience and can get a wee bit saved too!

Its been a while since I updated sorry bloggers!!
Nothing really that interesting has happened since I've been gone though which is probably why I've had nothing to put on here.

I spent the weekend away at Arbroath with my lovely boyfriend and my family

Its so pretty there, I had a really good time and didn't really want to come home! We had lots of food, a drink or two and just enjoyed spending some time together so it was nice :)

I came home and after some advice from my fishes :P I decided to email 4 or 5 jobs I had applied for to see what was happening, I got a reply from a woman who said she'd never received my original application and could I resend it? Its nice to know that some of my emails have just not been going rather than admit the fact that no-one wants to employ me lol. This has however led on to several phone calls filling in more forms and her passing all my information onto the employer YAY!!! Please employ me Mr Employer!! Give me a chance!! :)

I was at the doctors this morning who thinks I have IBS...boo! :( So trying to sort my eating out and hopefully working out what upsets my tummy and what I can eat quite safely.

I think thats all for now really, I will update if i've forgotten anything...

Nail art

The last few weeks I've been getting really interested in nail art, I think it looks really pretty!! I've been checking out some tutorials on youtube and thought 'I can do this!!' lol! so after checking a few different tutorials and looking for something simple that would cheer me up and I decided on ladybirds. :)


The first thing I did was use rimmels I <3 lasting finish in 030 Double Decker red, it looks like this,

 ignore the mess!!

 I did a couple of coats just to get a good colour although it wasn't bad with just a single coat.

Its a little less pink that it is in this photo, I must apologise for that it was with my phone camera and its nto very good, it is a bright red like it says like a double decker bus hopefully the next pic will show this!

Next I took black nail polish (sorry no idea what it was and i dunno where its gone) and a fine make up brush (an old one!!!). I made the tips of my nails black almost like french tips, I'm sorry I have no pics for this part I didn't think to take any, then I took the black and did a vertical line straight down the middle of my nail for the wings and did three spots on each wing.

Now for the next part most tutorials will say you need a nail dotting tool I used an old kirby and opened it out and dipped the end it a blob of white polish I used Rimmels Nail tip whitener. I used the kirby to do two dots on the black tip to make eyes. Did a final coat of clear polish (I have no top coat!! :( but I need to invest in some!) and I was done!

They look like this!!

enjoy!!

Cupcake attempt #2

I posted before about wanting to bake cupcakes, and as we can see from my last post that didn't go too well, this time however it went amazingly!!! I am so proud of me!!

I will admit that this one is the prettiest of the 7 that I made! This was the first time I had attempted to pipe icing and with that in mind I am soo proud of that little guy ^^.

They were so fluffly and yummy too, I think I might have a new hobby!!

Cupcake...

First attempt, they turned out a bit messy, and didn't quite have enough mixture for 12 :( even though the recipe said makes 12 I think the moulds I have are a bit bigger than paper cases. Next time I'm going to make more mixture and pipe the icing instead of spooning it on, make it look prettier.

Also my red icing tasted like beetroot, it wasn't good lol, practice makes perfect!!
At least they taste nice! :P
