Pancakes!
My favourite day of the year :)
When you can eat as many as you bloody want and you dont have to feel bad about it. I’ll give you a total later.
Today is a beautiful day!

Going to school
I have another class tonight :)
The last one was really interesting - have I already posted about this? I seem to have lost track of my tumblr recently.
If I haven’t written about it, we discussed Cleopatra and her reputation. How reputation can be built and changed and how actually she was probably a very nice woman who was unfairly portrayed by the opposing side.
If I have written...

still dropping...
I am still losing weight :) I’ve lost 9lbs since I started in January, I’m glad that it is coming off slowly - it means that it will stay off.
I’m even getting to the stage where I really dont hate going to the gym!
The nicest part about this all - a work colleague who I haven’t seen in 3 weeks said to me yesterday ‘you look like you’ve lost weight’...

A million words and not enough time
I seem to have a problem with studying. I have all the best intentions to study and then I ruin them by not bothering to study.
I am going to put in an hour tonight no matter what!

Languages
I got my European Phrasebook in the post last week! Leigh was trying out all the languages and being very funny with it. We are going to have to learn key words for 5 countries so need to get practicing. I just wish I was better at them – languages have never been my strong point but it’s important to make the effort!
Time is going so slowly – I need the next 6 months to fly by so I can be at that...

A student again..
Have my first class today, I am officially a student again, which has its bonus/negative points.
Bonus: I’m working towards a degree and studying a subject I am interested in
Negative: I have to study, and do essays and basically meet deadlines, which I am ridiculously bad at.
I have just started reading my set book (which I should have already read probably) for this section and it’s Dr Faustus....

Anonymous asked: you aspire to be chunky and unhealthy? she inspires larger lazy girls not to give a shit about being overweight because its ok because 'men like curves'. i'm a guy and i speak for the majority of guys when i say that men prefer smaller girls, not skinny, regular. they just say shit like that so bigger girls dont feel depressed. shes photoshopped to hell, bet shes not as confident...

First Anon Post.
It addresses the fact that in my last post (with Christina Hendricks) I put that all women should aspire to be like this.
They are not the first person to comment on this - in fact it seems that a few people aren’t happy about it, even my best friend commented on it and said that my view was incorrect.
I will say what I said to her - that I see so many thinspo blogs on here and they make...

A long time coming...
I have had such a good weekend, especially because it has been a 3 day one. It is always nicer to have that extra day, it makes such a difference.
My friend came to stay with me this weekend – only this wasn’t any normal friend – I haven’t seen this girl in 5 years! She was my best friend when I lived in Portugal and since leaving in 2007 I haven’t seen her once. We were always to disorganised,...

Money makes me happy.
I had a very nice surprise yesterday – I received a tax rebate cheque for £1014!
It’s amazing because it means I can put a lot of that towards Europe in the summer which is very handy indeed and takes the pressure of saving every penny. I’m going to put about £700 in to savings which will be a huge help and then keep some of it back for me.
I have bought my Dorothy Perkins shopping basket that...

From Paris to Berlin....
We booked our hostels this weekend! Thank God for January sales - we have booked hostels in 7 places for a reasonable £750 between us both. Some of them look very nice. We opted for private double rooms as well, a bit more expensive but we get the privacy and security of our own room.
*Cue very excited squealing
It all seems so real now! Just got to wait until April to book our trains.

A Diligent Student.
My OU course website has finally opened!
I have been looking at all the work that needs to be done and feeling apprehension but looking forward to certain chapters as well, especially the History.
The worst thing to happen is a deadline for the 10th August – I will be in Berlin then! I have an essay deadline for the 6th July so once I’ve completed that one I will have to get my essay done and sent...

Diary of a disheartened slimmer
You think you are getting somewhere and then it just seems to stop! I’ve been trying to keep to a better way of eating since the beginning of the year and after the first initial 7lb loss I am stuck, and stuck at the weight I always get stuck at. I just can’t seem to break past this figure.
I have cut out:
Bread
Cheese (I want to cry if I walk past the cheese section in a supermarket because it...

I work out!
I have been to the gym twice this week with a third time coming tomorrow. I decided I needed to up my game as I had fallen in to going to just one class a week.
Now I do Cardio Combat on a Monday, Legs, Bums and Tums on a Wednesday and Spin Express on a Friday lunch! I am aching all over but I know its a good pain.
I have decided that I am going to look in to doing a Swing dance class as soon as...

A room in Europe
We have been looking into where we are going to stay when we go travelling! I think we have found all the places, it’s going to cost us a fortune, especially as we are going in peak season but we are getting in there now as there is a sale, I just keep having to repeat myself everytime I see a dress I like - ‘NO! That’s a night in Rome!’
I’m going to book them up on...

Dancing
I really want to join a swing dance class and learn the Lindy Hop but I have nobody to go with and I’m a bit scared!
I have no problem talking to new people but dancing in front of them……hmmmm.
Should I just do it?!

It’s beautiful. I love it slightly more than life.
Happy feet, I got those happy feet :)

Money
This is my new strategy to save money.
I go on a website - say Dorothy Perkins
I look at all the clothes I like
I put the clothes into my shopping basket
I check the price
I cry over the price
I close down the window quickly
Money saved!
I think I may have a problem though.
