Second attempt at baking my first ever pie Before the final of Bake Off, everyone was asked to make and bring something in to work to sell for charity. How did I do? (The first one was nowhere near as good looking but it tasted just fine with custard! lol)
One for the Brits 🇬🇧 Save 5, and the rest disappear forever 😱 I'm going for Snickers, Twix, Twirl, Toffee Crisp, Double Decker. And my other 5 would be Picnic, KitKat Chunky, Fruit amd Nut, Wispa Gold, Toblerone 😋
Can you eat kiwi fruit 'raw'?If you wash it could you eat them like an apple or do you always have to peel them? I think you can't, my friend at work says you can.
4 (almost 5) months progress At the start of the year I decided to actually get off my fat arse and stop shovelling junk in to my face, and stick to better diet and exercise. It's an on-going project but I'm so happy to actually notice a real difference! My bmi was hurtling...See More »

My first google searches of 2022Happy new year! For some reason my brain decided to wonder where birds sleep at night*, and can seagulls digest rats. So they were my first thoughts of 2022. What were yours? *And it's not nests!
Spider-Man No Way HomeNo spoilers! But saw it this afternoon in a screening surrounded by school children because it was 4.00 in the afternoon 😅 I have never seen a film that people have reacted out loud to before, I don't know if it's just because they were young and...See More »
My new hobby...is complaining to my skinny flatmate about my weight while opening both of my advent calendars 🙃🐷 I think I must have contracted obesity at some point in the year, why is there no vaccine for that?
Been woken up by a man snoring. In a different flat! 🙃I don't even think our bedrooms share a wall, it sounds further away. But loud enough to wake me up. It's one antisocial habit I apparently have, and the only one I am a bit forgiving of as it's out of your control. His poor wife/gf though! 😴...See More »
Why are our brains like this??If I get to the checkout and my shopping for the week is £40-£50 I raise my eyebrows and it's like 'ugh, so expensive'. But £20 on takeaways twice a week is 'fine, just a little treat'. My money management is terrible.
Best workout music? Anyone got any good tracks or playlists? I added this to mine today and it helped me shuffle my way around a 5k in 31 minutes 😰🙈
'Water weight'Any gym / fitness / diet people who can explain this to me? Like the whole concept / truth of it. Because I know weight can fluctuate, and this is a reason. But also we're supposed to consume however much water in a day (8 glasses)? So it is good...See More »

Anxiety in 2021Short of breath after walking up the stairs to my flat after going to the supermarket. Now thinking - 'Is this covid or am I just out of shape?' I used to have a brisk 20 minute walk daily going to the train station for work and been so inactive...See More »
Does anyone keep a food diary?Does it help change your habits / is it useful? I was sitting here thinking 'why am I so hungry, I have been eating all day'. Then I thought about it and I have had a bacon sandwich, a handful of chocolates, 4 mince pies, fudge cake with ice...See More »
Why can't I work in my pjs like at home When I was younger wearing a tight outfit meant a figure hugging dress, now it just means my trousers are too small 😩 Had to come in to the office and dress properly for the first time in a while.
Is it ever acceptable to nap at your desk? After talking about it all week at work, just been for McDonald's with a couple of colleagues. Two cheeseburgers, 6 nuggets, and fries later... 😩😴
Back in the officeFinishing my first week back today, it's been a weird time. Feels like it has gone so fast! How is everyone else doing, when is your working from home continuing to, or have you gone back to 'normal' already? What has changed? I've bought a bright...See More »
My online clothing order came today 😍 I ordered some clothes earlier in the week and they arrived today, I couldn't resist this which basically sums up my entire lock down experience so far. Sooo silky
Breakfast is served! Was really craving a cooked breakfast and managed to make this for me and my flat mate! (Mostly) a success 😄
Backhanded compliments Talking with friends on a video call and was told 'oh, you remind me of someone. A film star'. Ok, so far so good 😁 'Ohh, who is it. Let me think. That's it! Cameron Diaz'. Oh wow, great, I'll take it! 'Let me find a picture'. Ok, she's still...See More »
I Love to Cook For OthersOk, this isn't generally true for me but I am treating myself and my flatmate to a cooked breakfast on Saturday, we started talking about food and this is what I've really been missing 😄 My flatmate is the chef of us and usually cooks 90% of the...See More »
What have you achieved so far in lockdown?Doesn't have to be much... today I got out of bed! That feels like an achievement. Maybe you finished a puzzle. Anyone learning something new? I am not disciplined enough for that! At the weekend I binged an entire series of Brooklyn 99, ate my...See More »
