New Year Resolutions!

Happy New Year! 

I'm not really one for making new year resolutions, as I never seem to stick with them… plus I always forget them, but i suppose writing some down on here is a good start.

However, the one at the top of my list is definitely finishing university with a good grade and then moving back to Preston to get a decent job in the north west. I'm not sure exactly what i am going to get a job in, i just know i want to start saving money to travel, to get my own car, and also to possibly save money to move into a place with mark some time in the future. 

This year has been great, but has definitely had its ups and downs, and with uni particularly stressing me out too much. I was going to go onto further education but i think i am done with formal education for a while, but i may return to university after a year or so out. Another worry of mine is losing contact with my housemates, so this next year i will have to make sure i still ring/Skype/meet up with Claire and Naomi as much as possible. 

The highlight of my year definitely has to be my wonderful boyfriend, who really does treat me like a princess (most the time ha) and also puts up with my crap and all my worrying. So hopefully this year we will continue to be together in our amazing relationship and then maybe one day in the future we will move into our own place together, but if it happens in 2014 I'd be surprised. Maybe that's one for 2015! :) 

So here's a few resolutions: 

- finish uni with a good grade (and as little stress as possible)
- buy my own car
- get a good job to save lots of money
- travel to lots of different places 
- read all my books (which i said would have to wait till after university)
- join a gym/exercise more and also learn to treat my body better, also learn some lovely veggie recipes!
- learn to stress less and to stop worrying about little insignificant things
- Keep in contact/visit Claire and Naomi once I've finish university. 


Some of my favourite photos and memories of my year… 

It's a wonderful life.

December 26 2013.

Hi all, so I figured now would be a great time to start a blog, or a blog sort of thing. I'm never too sure what to write or say, and I do have a tendency to ramble. But even if its just me that will read these some time in the future I'm sure they will still be worthwhile. 

So this year has been wonderful. Truly it has. I have been made super happy by one wonderful guy. I passed second year of university and I am well into my third and final year in Leeds, soon to be returning back home, yay! This will be my last year with which I’ll have to cram revision in before my January exams, which is also a plus.

So Christmas day was a typical day for me in all honesty. We went to the neighbours the night before, like tradition, but i left early (well 11) as i wasn't feeling great. I came down with a horrible cold sadly, affecting my mood and appetite and such. But nevertheless I had a wonderful time. I woke early due to sneezing, and obviously being the noisy sod I am I woke my parents too. So we all got up and opened presents, I was spoilt as always. Think my favourite presents are my Sally mug (to match Marks Jack mug), TWD seasons 1-3 and my shoes off Mark. We then rushed over to my grandparents to have Christmas dinner with my grandparents, matt and Sarah. Following which we opened presents and pulled crackers and played our usual charades. Mark then blessed us with his presence and we just walked pennie, ate more food, chatted and opened more presents. Mark had brought me the presents from his Nan, and apparently I did very well with my present for his Nan. Better then her son in fact ha! I later returned back to Blackburn with Mark and we went to his aunties for drinks and so he could spend some time with his family. We ended up playing a very stressful game of the Logo Game, always fun playing a game with competitive women who had been drinking all day, but all in all it was good fun.

Sadly I am still full of a horrible cold and today I have just been resting.  

I suppose this is a reasonable first post, and I should really be going to bed shortly to kick this cold. 

Thought i would add a few photos of my Christmas too :) 

Wonderful cracker toy.
