Bring on the trumpets

Bonsoir! Bonsoir! No no, im not greeting you from France, Im merely jazzing my entrance up to reveal the news....

a) my steroids have been decreased by 5mg for the next two weeks
b) my GVH shows my transplant has taken in my body
c) I am now on to TWO week reviews, instead of weekly (that was my best part)

Along with that exciting news, i got my SD card back from my friendy wendy so I shall be able to snap loads of glorious photos for my bloggy *pats blogs head* and also maybe take some photos of my baking, especially down in belle isle.

Apart from that nothing new has been happening with me. I'm reading "Crimson Petal and the White" which is a very heavy book in terms of weight, but I'm finding it far more interesting than "One Day" which has just been made into a film. If i was you I would go and see the film and not bother with the book, but then each to their own.

My next baking mission is either: Red Velvet Cupcakes OR Vanilla Cupcakes both with frosting of course! I want to make them look "purty" (Of Mice n Men quote)

I also got some new jumpers from New Look for my return to uni. They are long sleeved and very soft BUT they arent dear dear dear. You should ch-ch-check them out. I got four in total (yes yes! lunatic buying the same type of jumper in different designs) I also got high waisted jeans (yet to try them on to see if they fit/suit me) soooo I am all happy on my shopping front. Someone should actually stop me.

Now for tommorrows dinner I must settle a craving, a chip butty. Something that no man or woman can not satisfy! I of course shall try the old health approach of oven chips, as i dont own a fryer and i dont want to be a fatty boom boom and get a takeaway.... mmhh I can't wait. *nibbles on pretend image of chip butty*

I also wanted to finish off saying that recently Im super happy all the time par from the odd nightly...okay every night insomia that takes hold until 3am where upon i can finally get to sleep. I tend to have flashbacks at night, of treatment or getting stuff done to me by the hospital. Hopefully it shall stop.

I decided what i wanted to be for halloween this year as well..., but i shall keep you in suspense until nearer the time where I will REVEALLLL my idea to the world *evil laugh*

Goodnight folks! tuck in tight, the weather is turning. Ekkk! cant wait for snow!

The Step In Parental

Can't wait till my hair is like this again!

Phew! *lies down* what a hetic day! I was like wonder woman organising and what not. I started off by getting up to waken my dog, Charlie and give him his breakfast. Of course being Charlie he decided to let me know when he had finished his breakfast by trekking up to my room and breathing his dog breath into my face and looking at me like I was going to jump out of bed and take him to the park. That was not happening, instead he jumped up onto the bed and realised my boyfriend had stayed over. His face was one of question, as if he was asking "and why are you here?" but once again that didnt deter him from rubbing his nose into my boyfriends chest and getting comfy inbetween us. That didnt last long when I told him to go away....

Then I got ready and went to order my new sliderobes for my new house :D it was sooo exciting being able to choose a sliderobe from scratch. Gosh did I just say exciting? Anywhoooo I can't wait to do my new house up and get it all vintagey and girly (not too girly of course, more chic than girly)

Of course by this stage the dog needed more attention so we took him to the park where he tottered off content in his wee world. Of course I spilt his lunch and instead of being a good stand in parent I just let him eat it off the kitchen floor, which to be honest he seemed fine with. I can tell he is secretly wondering when his real mum will return and bring his normal routine back to him, but I have enjoyed looking after him.

I also made my crunchy cheesecake for my cousin's 3rd birthday party tomorrow, but I can't wait until this Friday coming because I am going away to Belle Isle where I shall take loads of photos for my blog....

In other exciting news, it is now offically not warm anymore at night time. I find that two duvets for one small person (that being me) is ample enough to keep me warm. I can't wait for winter though.

Ohhh i was going to show you my haul as youtubers call it. I got this lovely playsuit and a ring from Boohoo.com, both of which I adore.

Swallow Playsuit
Bird Ring

Go check them out!

Ta Ta for noowwww

Taste like whiskey when you kiss me.....

This is my new favourite song! I have it on repeat and it sounds very country folk singing BUT i love it! She is defoo going to be one of those singers who people go "remember Lady Gaga" or she will be 80 and still doing small gigs for people.

Anyway I wanted to blog it because it's a very good song! Im really sad about hearing that Steve has quit Apple. I suppose he is the image of Apple and it seems other people agree because their shares fell as the market closed for the day. I wonder what that actual means, does a small person press a button and say "market is closed" and then that is it for the day? I just wonder who actually has control of closing the market.

Par from that i have been R-E-L-A-X-I-N-G for the first time..... I AM LOVING IT! I am also going on holiday next friday, so I shall take photos of the place and get them up on the blog. In the mean time hit replay on the song..... you know you can't resist.

OH! in other news, I ordered four new books.... what? I feel the need to consume some books and i can only satisfy that with a shopping trip to waterstones.... dont begrudge me of that? Do you?

Im signing off in a very happy mood :) puurrrr!

My Epic Day

BAM! You know when you wake up and feel like rubbish? But you have a exam to do so you scrap yourself out of bed, where its lovely and cosy and start to get changed? Then you go to you're exam wearing no make up because you think "no one will be there"... only for you to get there and it to be an actual full scale exam hall with about 40 people. I'm not great at the best of times wearing no make up around people, but I have yet to do this in uni and the one time I decide to do it? Loads of people, granted I don't know them from Bartha but still!

Anyway the exams... are OVER.... eek! So happy. I'm stress free and i plan to be such a lazy person it is unreal. Tonight me and my boyfriend went for a lovellyyy yummy get in my belly please meal at the Parson's Nose (situated in hillsborough)

For starters I had: Seared Queens Scallops in a pea risotto with crispy bacon THEN to follow I ordered Chicken, Ham Hock and Leek pie with veggies along with a shared side order of potatoes. The meal was so great! I recommend it to anyone who lives near the area or is on holiday etc etc.

I also went to see the movie, Inbetweeners, which is another movie I would recommend, unless you don't like crude sexual jokes.... But all in all it was a veryyyy good day! :D

Maybe I can eat a few novels mentally over the weekend. Ohh so excited!

Grab your rain mac!

It's the start of the hurricane season and I want everyone to be introduced to Irene (right) She looks like a beasttt! Mother Nature is not happy. I'm going to be honest here and say that hurricane tracking via the media is one of my favourite (but geeky) hobbies. I just love hearing the updates as it gains strenght and people plan for its arrival. To have that power... it is a great example of how the world works. She could potientally make landfall in areas such as Florida and Carolinas. I wanted to document it on my blog because this is the first hurricane for the 2011 storm season and she looks like she could cause some harm. At the minute her winds are gaining over 100mph and has already brought flooding to the areas in the photo. BUT that is what is so great about mother nature, she could decrease as she moves further inland. You never know.

In other news, I am still on my steroids after going to the hospital today. I don't mind still needing to be on them, due to the whole "safety net" theory. When the time is right I am sure they will allow me to slowly come off them. Tomorrow is my final first sit exam, so fingers crossed.

In weird business news though this article caught my head, a london office has introduced bee hives in the workplace to "boost work morale" So my question to you is do you think it could actually boost morale? My opinion? In this modern society where people grow their own vegetables in small pots out their back garden, purchase more organic food or high food standard food than a couple of years ago and recycle until their heart is content. It can only mean one thing: people are open to new concepts and ideas. The whole bee's boosting morale in work? That's a brand new idea, which certain type of businesses could benefit from, especially if they start to produce their own mini products to give as bonus' presents to staff e.g. honey jars.

Toodles for now. Don't let the Hurriance get you :P

Get in my Belly....please?

Whisked sponge with a buttercream and raspberry filling

One of my favourite past times is baking. I find it so relaxing and I must admit, I love eating the left over mix that somehow didn't meet my quality standards (what?!)

Anyway this is a simple recipe that I have had in my recipe book since GCSE and the thing I love most about it, is that its a whisked, or as some call it "fatless sponge". This is my quantity that is enough to fill two sandwich tins (not sure of the size of mine, but they are mediumish in the look)

Ingredients

• 100g caster sugar
• 100g plain flour
• 4 eggs

Method:

1. Preheat oven 180 degrees. Add the eggs and the sugar until your mixture is pale, slightly fluffy and the whisk leaves a mark for 5 seconds
2. Sieve the flour BIT BY BIT into the mixture and FOLD (this allows more air and a lighter mix)
3. Pop mixture into sandwich tins and put them in the oven. I left mine to cook for 20mins, but depends on your oven and heat type.

I used a simple buttercream mix, 5oz of butter/stork and 280g of icing sugar with a splash of milk to make it less thick. Only spread icing sugar once the cakes are on the cooling rack and have cooled completely. For the raspberry filling I used Marks and Spencer raspberry jam, which i beat up in a cup to smooth it out and make it more workable (the jam isnt seedless, which made the overall end result look better)

So maybe you could try it yourself? Its very simple and in the last hour since it has been made there is only a quarter of my cake left. Its a great recipe to get small hands to help with, as there is little to no mess and you only need one bowl for everything (just wash it to make the buttercream obviously)

Toodle pips for now *drags stomach along the floor*

Is competition actually good?

Due to my love of marketing and also my choice of degree, I try to keep myself updated with what is going on in the media world. This one article stuck out and I began to question whether
a) it was worth the business re-investing money into their scheme
b) whether it would be enough to overtake their current competitors
c) whether it is too late for this company to successfully change their long standing coroprate image and values that have been engraved into their target customer's heads.

The article in question is about Pizza Hut and Pizza Express. The fact of the matter being that Pizza Express has announced better profits and expansion plans. The first thing I found odd was that Pizza Hut have never been "intimidated" by another company similar to their own. Pizza Hut is well known for being a place of fun family dining along with good food at great prices. Even when new take out pizza places opened, Pizza Hut seemed to hold their own in the market. This was before Pizza Express announced their plans to open up another 200 outlets, especially at a time when the recession and share prices are balancing on the edge of a very rocky cliff. This I expect has made Pizza Hut decide to "up their anti" with customer satisfaction and the image of their overall company.

Pizza Hut's plan is vast, which means a lot of investing revenue into the new scheme, which will hopefully increase sales and customer service. Pizza Hut have openly admitted that their customer satisfaction has decreased over the past few years. An example of one of their plans is to re-vamp their buffet option, resulting in making it less "trough feeding" for customers.

My question though is, will this "revamp" plan be enough for a company that has now socially become a "family" restaurant?

I personally see Pizza Express as a restaurant that can offer sophistication to their customers along with home made pizzas that include that bit of something special, for example toppings, whereas Pizza Hut has over the years become a chain pizza business that screams more of wanting profit than wanting customer satisfaction. Pizza Hut have become a business that tries to get their customers in and out of the door in under 60 minutes.  I just feel that they are too late in trying to change their entire corporate image and personna, especially in the face of their competitor who offer a different type of pizza eating experience, one which Pizza Hut couldn't afford giving to family, which at the end of the day is their target market, unlike young adult and special events, which Pizza Express try to target. I suppose I wanted to shed a light on the idea that even though the economy is struggling many businesses are willing to risk a lot of capital on changing their entire business layout/personna in order to gain back their market share and get ahead of competitors.

I have posted the full article link below for any of those interested.

*The opinions posted are my own and this blog post is my thoughts on the matter and can not be 100% accurate due to it being a opinion*

Pizza Hut Overhauls UK business

It's just....candy?

Well I forgot to update you about hospital my precious bloggyyyy *feeds it a steroid and waits for affect to kick in* and the prof (as I call her) has decided to keep me on the steroids for another week and then maybe slowly wean me off the candy? Apparently you have to do this slowly so you don't wake the GVH... its like a grumpyyy monster ;)

THEN! THEN! I start to sloowwlllyyy like teenie tiny tip toes get lowered from my anti rejection drug which I'm currently on 100mg, twice a day.... so that will take donkeys because they have to lower the night dose then balance the morning dose like scales. Oh well, everyone gets to their finish line at some point....

Par from that she was really happy with my bloods and said that she would expect them from a normal 20year old female. WHOOP! Of course I just nodded, because I never get excited about anything but its good to know my body is finally getting some rest, I feel sorry for all I have put it through. I probably know this is a silly thing to say but I deffo won't take my body for granted like others do to theirs.

Another person that I talk to at the clinic finally got their donor, so they are heading to Dublin in Sept, which I'm very happy about because it means that the sooner they go there and get it done, then the sooner they can go back to being normal BECAUSE that is what matters. So what if i did shit in a maths exam, cus at the end of the day I am.... well (lol sorta jus hit me how silly i was being)

Well that's all folks for tonight. I shall be looking after my sister's new puppy tomorrow night with my boyfriend. A wee rascal she is (the photo to the right is Tilly) THEN I will be revision crazy until Wednesday so I get awesome sauce marks in my FOM exam....

Tilly Pip ;) see what i did.... *pats blog goodnight*

Too hard on yourself?

I can honestly say I'm my own worst enemy. In every aspect of my life I never congratulate myself, and if I do something wrong or fail I punish myself by going over and over it again until I just feel a bit crappy about it.

Major examples of this include: me getting the clear on my PET scan, I shrugged my shoulders and said "okay"... thats not normal is it? I passed my exams whilst being ill... I said "cool".... I am awful at maths but still did a exam on it today and i am now kicking myself about obviously failing it. Why is it that you are you're own worst enemy? Maybe not everyone is that way, but I can't seem to praise myself for ANYTHING I do in life... BUT this is where it gets more weird, I can get SUPER excited about a new book, or driving with a new playlist for my car.... but never about important stuff....

I think you can guess that my exam did NOT go well. I actually couldn't answer a break even question (worth 20 marks) and I ended up walking out before the time was up on the exam... first time ever! I think if you really knew me as a person in the flesh you would understand how shocking that is for me.... I'm a nerd... NERDDDD! Gah! kicking myself much? I hate... no loathe loathe loathe MATHS! ggrr!

After my exam I took a trip to Mcd's for some lunch because my stomach was even talking in my exam like major gurgles. Anywayyy i tasted their new deli wrap with sweet chilli and lettuce..... TO.DIE.FOR.... so yummy and I felt less fatty for getting a wrap. You get me? I'm really wanting to keep the weight off that I have lost through chemo treatment, because I find that I'm somewhat happy now with my figure... so hopefully it continues (the healthy eating) I'm loving anything that has a creamy sauce because sometimes I still find food unmoist from my salvia not returning properly.... also i love mushrooms and peppers and anything that involves chicken atm... I had the same dinner two nights in a row because i was in food heaven with it!

I have another exam on the 24th of this month.... and it's all I can think about. I just feel so bad about this exam. I sound nutterish. Probably because I am.

I went also to the cinema tonight with my friend to see "Bridesmaid" was decent enough BUT i thought it could have been funnier, and they should have had the character "Helen" in more scenes, she was flipping hilarous!

Gah! I need a shower for my head... as my bf says "i need to put my brain in a jug of ice cold water" Can't wait till I can go off for a weekend and be... I dunno.... free? (in the sense of no worries... im stressed atm)

Prettyful Nails....

bottom-PURPLE PULSE

I have been craving some candy summery colours for my nails so when I went for a wee walk around Boots, I thought I should choose some new nail colours to go with my new happy feeling that I seem to be carrying round with me. I got three nail polishes in total:

• 270- Hot Shot
• 045- Misty Jade
• 180- Purple Pulse
 

I decided to paint my hands the Hot Shot colour which is the first picture shown, the colour that actually comes out is a really nice pink, darker than coral pink obviously but its not a tacky pink. I had to paint three coats and then a top coat to my nails but I think my nails look awesome.

For my toes I did the purple and misty jade, which is really a nice ice cream blue candy colour. My big toes were painted purple and the wee mini toes as i call them were painted the blue. I was really impressed by the colours, but once again three coats is the norm along with a top clear coat to give it a bit more of a shine. I can't stop wiggling my toes. 

 

 

MISTY JADE

HOT SHOT

My marks: 10/10 for colour (so pretty)

7/10 for how many coats (im used to just applying one coat)

9/10 for chip resistant

We are all heading somewere

"Cus today I swear I'm not doing anything".... I don't know whether Bruno Mars has changed his type of music, to more happy music but so far I have liked more and more songs he has been bringing out, especially the "lazy song" and "marry you" that makes me turn up my radio in my car so loud that i cant even hear the wind rushing through my new hair ;)

I can'ttttt wait for this weekend, I'm going.... STRAWBERRY PICKING! Me and my friend from uni have decided to do something fun and there happens to be a local farm that allows you to pick fruit, including strawberries and raspberries. I adore strawberries, especially since my consulant has allowed me to eat them again after the whole restricted diet.

I'm actually LOVING being able to eat salad, strawberries and drink normal tap or bottle water. I actually had to NOT drink water for 117 days... I don't even know how I did it. It seems surreal now that I look back on it, but it has probably been the longest health journey to date for me in terms of recovery.

Now that I'm finally getting back to normalish I don't know how I actually coped throughout the entire process. I'm going tommorrow for a check up at the hospital, so I will be told then if i need to continue on my steroids or whether they are thinking of reducing my anti rejection drug that all transplant patients go on, including the likes of kidney patients.

Recently I heard bad news about a girl who was in the same year group as me in school, I just think to myself "why are all these young people getting ill?" I don't know whether its a life plan, as in a test for us to pass or else some cruel joke that was meant to be a one off nightmare but has somehow got stuck like a record and is now that person's life.

I'm still trying to promote and change my blog (apperance wise) because I do want people who are also young and going through some type of health problem to read my blog and realise that although we are slowly becoming the majority, not many young people want to bore others with the feelings that they are having. So my blog is a outlet and I always hoped my words would help others.

I'm going to upload another post about my review on rimmel's I love lasting finish nail polish.....

Unloved?

I want to promote my blog more, for the pure reason that I made it to help others even though I sometimes throw in my casual day to day life along with my medical life. I posted a link on digg.com. My digg post, maybe check it out and increase my digg view so that more people become aware of my blog. I see other people start out their blogs and I would like to get my blog popular enough (not that it isnt popular ;)) so that I feel like I have helped others.

I also put some articles on stumbleupon, which is another site that allows viewers to see good websites, blogs etc. So maybe it will mean that more people will see my writing and maybe be more interested?

Fingers crossed eh?

Delights for your tummy

Recently I have been wanting to bake new things that I haven't tried out yet and because I'm a member of a facebook group, who seems to enjoy cooking and posting their meals/baked goods I decided to do a bit of baking today. I made a crunchie cheesecake and a banoffee pie (for the boyfriend and his family)

To the left is my cheesecake, as my other homebaked good is chilling in the fridge, eagerly awaiting to get its photo taken. The recipe for the cheesecake was a basic normal recipe that I use, which enables me to vary the filling, for example flake or malteasers etc. The recipe is

• 300g of biscuits (i use hob nobs to get it a bit of a crunch)
• 100g of butter to be melted
• a tub of soft cheese
• 300ml double cream
• sugar (to sweeten cream and cheese mix)
• for this recipe three crunchie bars and one bar for the decorative topping

Simples! I love making cheesecake and normally pretend the calories are the same as clouds ;)

In other glorious news I have got rid of my.... GVH! I woke up today and my hands, arms, legs, stomach and face are clear. Before you ask, of course i praised my skin and welcomed it back into the normal world were red dots don't cover it all the time. But I'm so happy today :) 

I just have to pull my cotton socks up and get on with at least some revision before I meet my friends later tonight for a catch up session. I love having the ability to go places now, something I thought would never return with my transplant.

Ohhh! I bought candy coloured nail polish so I shall take photos and upload them to show you my buyings :)

Culinary Delights And The Bra Plight

Winter seems to be approaching us nearly every day and with the current weather being in a bad mood (wind and rain) I got a craving for winter vegetables. It was a type of craving that you cant help but fulfil so tonight for dinner I made them for the first ever time (the photo btw is just off the Internet...i hope it makes your mouth water) and they turned out really yummy, even if I do say so myself. I had them with a baked potato and a bit of steak. So nice on a day like this.

In other news *rolls her eyes in annoyance* my patience is wearing veryyyy thin with bras. I really can't be bothered to find the time or the energy to go into town to purchase new bras and my current ones I don't think are doing their job (they have maybe went on strike?) anyway I got my parcel of a couple of new bras and I'm still not sure whether I'm 100% happy with them. So I'm now searching my house for a tape measure because I'm going to do it old school and measure myself because I have reached my patience level with my underwear (lol)

This was my day for another five tablets of steroids, I'm happy to say they don't seem to be having the effect that I was scared about and my skin seems to be dying down slowly but surely. I think they will probably continue to make me take them for another week because of the whole day gap in between taking the tablets because of my high sensitivity to any type of steroid. Other than that I'm tottering along like usual. Ohhh my eyebrows are finally RE-growing after falling out again :/ I think i scratched my face so much that they fell out, which i was sad about, but all my own fault.

I also got a cool new product for my hammie, Oreo. Its called CareFresh Confetti, which is a type of bedding that basically holds more of their pee and keeps the cage from being smelly. I'm not sure if you can fully see the colours, but the bedding itself is very candy like now in terms of the bright colours. I'm finding more products for cages etc that are purposely being coloured, for example Pets At Home now do woodshavings that are pink, blue, lemon or purple... just because.... although the last two are scented. But still I found this pretty awesome!

*wanders off in search of a tape measure*

Puppy Cuddles and Snowflakes

This is Tilly, my sisters new springer/collie aka sprollie puppy. She is ten weeks old and was rescued from a dog home. In this actual photo she is sleeping beside me (thats my legs lol) and seems to sleep fine if someone is near her or she is near warmth. Such a cutie! I get annoyed at the fact that I didn't see Charlie (my own dog) at that age, he would have been cracker.

Anyway, I wasn't able to blog last night about my lovely life since I was staying at my sister's. But yesterday I took my first dose of steroids and it did suprise me because I just felt like I had drank a litre of diet coke, similar to a sugar rush so I'm slightly less scared, I just hope that the dose is effective enough in dampening down the GVH.

On to my snowflakeesss, my lovely dry skin that seems to create snowflakes anywere i go (mmhhh attractive!) mostly Im just the one who can see them, but then again you are your own worst enemy. Hopefully my skin will get better once the GVH is under control because it does nothing for self esteem or confidence.

I have now got six day to go till my first sit, eek not lookin forward to the whole maths business of it, but it has to be done.

Those who think it is permissible to tell white lies soon grow color-blind.  ~Austin O'Malley

I'll leave you with that quote. Don't really want to get into it, but I know and the person knows what it is about. After all, bloggers shouldn't moan and talk about others.

Nightaroooo

"We might not get tommorrow"

Bonsoir *strokes blog whilst its purr's* well I woke up today to a lovely site, some horrid man had come along and drew dots all over my body with red pen in the middle of the night.... oh no wait thats just my GVH skin rash exploding all over my body, causing what can only be described as acid being poured onto ur hands, along with someone making your skin itch.....like a biatch?

Ah day 117 today and I have had to accept the fact that steriods is the only route to go for my skin. I suppose the sooner i go on them and the sooner I get off them then they can lower my anti rejection drug... which is a slooowwww and looonggg process GAH! But im fed up with my skin being so sore, and to be honest my immune system could use a break. I'm just scared that because I'm super sensitive to steriods, that I will become a nutter (the way i was last time i was on them) But one can only wait and see (I start them tommorrow)

In other news London/England has decided to display their love of fire and stealing. I don't think the actions of the citizens of England is the right option but then again riots to me are normal because of where I come from, so the media coverage is just laughable in the sense that its only urging more people to act criminally BECAUSE they are getting attention from the media. I think the rioter's orginal message is actually getting lost somewere in their criminal behaviour. But that's just my opinion and everyone is entitled to their's.

I have still got to continue revising for my accounting first sit which is on the 17th and par that I'm sort of trying to keep going, as usual.

Other things in my life aren't great, but a blog isn't the place :) *feed blog treat*

One more thing before i leave... check this song out (prob know it) and dan-danceeee "marrry youuuu" by Bruno Mars. Everyone wants to marry me.... even you ;)

Toodlessss

My Creations

As promised these are my wall decals that i got off ebay. I first noticed them after someone posted a photo on a facebook group showing their's off so I thought it would add something extra to my own room. I got the dandelion first but I have not finished it, as it should have the blow away flake things surrounding it. 

The second wall decal I decided to choose after I found it for motivation phrases. I seen it in a article when a woman was fighting for cancer and her husband give her a card with that inside it. It just made me realise that a lot of people have "storms" in their life but do they ever think of "dancing in the rain" instead of hiding away or being scared? 

Nothing is gained from being scared. On another note I found this great website from another blogger, called http://grooveshark.com/, basically its a bit like spotify ONLY it's a website and not a downloadable programme that CAN'T create virus' in your hard drive. It randomises songs or else lets you create a free account where u can create as many playlists as your heart desires. I found this new song by Ed Sheeran, not too sure what I think of it yet but it might growww on me as some say.

So craving a bit of baking, some cheesecakes or a sponge cake... yummy eh?

Till next time

"If i could only find a note to make you understand"

Tonight's antics: I went to the cinema to watch a new film called Horrible Bosses. Loads of people raved about it and it wasn't a bad film... but it wasn't as funny as I thought. There was this one woman, aged somewhat over 50 I would think peeling oranges with a walking flask *sneaky thing* and then another man thought he was alone in his living room by the laughs he was letting out. It made me laugh, the way people are and act in the cinema. They sort of get lost and think they are sitting alone in a darken room watching a film....

I especially like being nosey with the other couples, not in a perv way of course, I secretly enjoy when you can tell they are on their first date. God I am getting old!



Anyway the lyrics/quote from the post title is from my all time fav lovey dovey song by Gym Class Heroes, and below is a linkypoo because I do enjoy the lyrics... and Travie.... This was the best video on youtube that wasnt someone normal singing it. I don't know how you can never get official videos when you want them the most.

On a last note I have found a new author that I love. She is called Kate Morton, she writes books that are based in the English past, normally war time or around 1950's depending on the book you read. She has three published so far. The best one I have read so far is "Distant Hours" 600 pages that I finished in two days...IT WAS THAT GOOD. I finished her book "House at Riverton" so I only have one more to go before I have read all her books, wish there was longer!

Night... I'm going to get photos up of my wall decals 2mara to show you my arty side.... or else transfer skills :)

I'm not drowning.....

I adore singing this song in the car and I think from the speed that others do in front of me (slow mo's) other people find my dancing.... amusing? I swear I love her songs, you should chec-chec-check them out.

Haha its such a feminist song in my mind. GO YOU!

"Who died and made you king of anything".... sometimes i mutter that to myself about dickwads!

My New Look

Phew *wipes sweat from brow* I am a bit slow with updating the face of my blog because I do everything old school. my title is done on paint, and i google everything else for the borders and template design. It took me ages but I am only sort of happy now with my blog's new look. I would be a bit more picky next time because I'm so OCD.

Anyway on to other news, a friend of mine said something today and it made me laugh so much. It was about the fact that I can't drink whilst on my anti rejection tablets and she said 

"Cancer is shit"

You said it! Had to laugh because it just summarises that the bastard is shit! I am going out for dinner tonight with the boyfriend, after it took me ages to get in contact with him, the differences of being laid back verus OCD planning.

Here is the link to the awesome blog template even though there is a icon on my actual blog that u can click. Im adding it to my actual entry because "Hot Bliggity Blog" has AWESOME templates and I want to give a big shout out to the blog itself :)

Till next time :)

Posting back comments

I LOVE the comments I get from other bloggers but i wanted to say I still don't seem able to reply to you lovely people. I try, and even over a long period of time BUT yet I can never reply to your posts.... It annoys me somewhat!

So this is decidated to the people who have commented on my posts. I do read them! I do enjoy getting them! Im sad I can't reply!

Anyone know of solutions (i have googled this but to no avail)?

Bad Blogger!

I'm terrible for leaving you alone in this webbed world that we called the internet *strokes blog to soothe its lonely heart* I have great news though to tame your anger... I have got the ALL CLEAR from my scan. Something that has actually never happened, there is no cyst or even a tiny bit of tumour left this time. Its like we can finally hop around like mini pixies on toadstools shouting "Hooray!" but you know me, never one to fully show my feelings with my health.... So instead mother and family cried for me.

I have been getting better since the transplant. I still have GVH but that wont go away for a long time, its mostly dry itchy skin and a few red spots that look like a bad case of ecezma?

I have also been revising for my first sits that are coming up this month. I am still taken in the land of lurvveeeeee, two months until its 3 years. Seems unreal... like everything in my life.

But of course, i am still in the world of books, were i like to escape and make up worlds I could only dream of living or entering for the day. Who wouldn't love to dwell in a actual novel for a day eh? Just a day mind.... some endings of novels are very sad indeed.

Toodles for now.... i will return sooner i hope.
