One red bus and bubble beards.

I know I'm slacking on the whole blogging front! Deep apologies! I've had a tough week or so, after going so long without having a panic attack due to medication, I had a horrific one last week and it's set me back quite a lot. BUT this post isn't meant to be a gloomy one so we will forget about that, I've cried about it and it's over with now.

I've finally managed to colour one red bus in on my countdown to London for losing 14lb which is 4 weeks away and Christmas is next week. I've decided what will be will be if I don't lose the 14lb by then, then it's not a big deal. I want to enjoy Christmas without feeling guilty, I'm not going to ruin all my hard work but I'm not going to be a boring fart and not eat chocolate or drink Malibu! Chin, chin!
At the weekend with the help of my lovely boyfriend, I finally decided on what I want to do when I get to the uni stage after college. I want to be a mental health nurse, I may have mentioned wanting to be a Councillor in another post but I think mental heath nursing is exactly what I want to do. I want to make a difference, I might not be a superhero but if I can help somebody change their lives then it's a job I'd be extremely happy with. I super crap at maths, like ridiculously crap. So I will need to resit that as a GCSE at college, Ashley has been helping me with that, he's awesome I'm so lucky. I still need to see what A Levels I'm going to do but I have until next September to work that out.

I persuaded my mother to buy Matey bubble bath today, I haven't had a bath with that stuff since I was a nipper! I was so chuffed when she agreed to buy it. I had a bath with it tonight and kids have the best bubble bath ever. It makes more bubbles than all that grown up stuff, I even created an awesome bubble beard. Bubble beards are awesome, if I was a man I'd want one of those crazy biker men beards. I'd also want a Harley to go with it.

I'm off to watch Stoke vs Manchester United tomorrow at the Britannia Stadium with Ashley, I'm really excited. I can't cheer if we score though because I'm sat in the Stoke end. Should be interesting haha. I'm also off to watch The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug on Friday when I head back to Stoke for the weekend. I loved the first one and normally I'm never able to sit threw a film that is that long!

Hope you all have a good week :-)

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Hello lovely people! Christmas is upon us and that means Christmas shopping and clothes shopping! I have dreaded clothes shopping for the past 12 years or so, because I could never go into the shops I wanted to. I always dreamed of being able to go in River Island and buying something really nice. I never stepped foot inside because well nothing was ever going to fit me, apart from their hats. Saturday morning arrived and myself and Ashley ventured into town. Guess what I did?! I went into River Island and I bought a pair of jeggings in a size 18S yes I have short legs and they fitted! So we went back on the Sunday and I got another pair in a different colour. I'm over the moon, yes it's jeggings and I'm aware that they stretch but they still are quite roomy I could probably have gotten away with a 16 if it wasn't for my thunder thighs! I also got a top from George at Asda on Monday afternoon in a size 18 and it was baggy, I'm flabbergasted by how smaller size my clothes are going. For somebody that once wore a 26-28 clothes, I never thought I'd be fitting into a size 18 of anything especially a size 18 in River Island. I maintained at weigh in last night too, but I feel smaller so I need to take my measurements again to see if there is a difference from when I last took them.

Happy slimming!
