Our weekend away at Hayling Island

A while ago me and Ky decided to try out a sun holiday, so after collecting all the tokens and choosing our preferred destinations we were given a Parkdean holiday at Hayling Island, I was actually hoping for Butlins at first but now I am really glad we got Hayling!
The caravan or mobile home or whatever you actually call it was amazing, I was expecting us to be given one of the cheapest ones to be honest but this one was really lovely, my boyfriend even said how he could live in one!
Parkdeans entertainment was quite impressive as well, there was something on every night, and also during the day but we only went to the night time ones. 
Stanley thoroughly enjoyed himself there, he spent most of the day time telling us he wanted to go dancing bless him, I have a little party animal on my hands! On our last night he got called onto the stage to play a game to win some points for his team, I was so proud of him as I was expecting him to do a runner as he can be quite shy. The entertainers were lovely and really did make a good effort.


Proud mummy moment right here!

I have decided I'm one of those people who love pebble beaches, I loved spending time on the beach searching for interesting stones and sea glass. There's not tons of things to do at Hayling Island but it makes the perfect location for a relaxed weekend getaway. We are planning on going back next year and I can see Parkdean at Hayling Island being a regular getaway for us now.



We did take a trip to Portsmouth whilst on holiday, Gunwharf Quays was amazing! I managed to get the Cath Kidston Garden Birds day bag and purse I had been lusting after for ages for much cheaper than your typical Cath stores. We will definitely be returning there!

Second Week Of Slimming World

Well my second week was no where near as good as my first, I stuck to plan all week but we went away for the weekend and I ended up having about 4 takeaways and being more lenient with snacks and drinks, I did feel a bit guilty when I was eating the wrong things but I was also enjoying myself and it was just the easy option. I did only put on 1lb though, I was expecting to put the whole 9lbs I lost the first week back on so I was quite pleased with that. I'm being really good this week and I'm trying Slimming Worlds baked chicken with tomatoes tonight, it seems pretty easy to make so hopefully I don't mess it up. I am not a good cook.

Do you know any easy syn free or low syn recipes I can try?

Happy Slimming girls and guys!

First Week Of Slimming World

Me and my Aunt decided to join Slimming World online to help us lose weight so each week I will post on here how I done :)

Well last week was my first week and I lost 9.5lbs and achieved my half stone award!! I didn't believe it at first. It's not uncommon to lose quite a bit on your first week though, apparently it should slow down now.

I'm no cook but Ive been trying out some homemade recipes from the Slimming World website and Ive been really enjoying it, why haven't I always done this? It doesn't even feel like a diet.


Poached eggs are my new best friend!

I tried homemade cheeseburgers, pulled pork, chilli con carne and diet coke chicken, oh and homemade chips which are amazing! I've used the slow cooker for them all apart from the cheeseburgers.

My syns during the week were mainly used on curly wurlys or prawn cocktail walkers, I didn't use all 15 syns everyday which I was shocked about as I was expecting to be wanting to use them all up and more!

Are you doing Slimming World?
Know any yummy recipes?

Valentines Day ♥♥

This Valentines day was the best one yet, it was our first one (well second but it's a loooooong story) we went for dinner at TGI Fridays then went for more cocktails at a bar afterwards. It was lovely spending time with Ky, we both really enjoyed it even if we did get blown about a bit, the wind was horrendous!


Ky had a Jacks Southern Belle and I had a Popping Candy Margarita, it was delish!


Ky got me a new Pandora spacer bead and I love it! He chose well. 




Long Island Ice Tea is now my favourite cocktail,  I can imagine that they will be really nice in the summer on a nice hot day.

What did you do for Valentines?

My baby boy is 2 years old!

My beautiful baby boy turned a whole 2 years old at the beginning of this month! 2?!! Time is going by so fast. He has come on in leaps and bounds and is learning something new nearly every day. I am so proud of my boy I cant even explain. 


Here he is eating his Birthday cake wearing his new hat and rucksack that nanny bought him. They have hardly left him since that day.


Making choo choo cakes, he put all the little icing pictures on by himself! 



Playing with the bath light show, probably the coolest bath toy ever invented!

I feel extremely blessed to be Stanleys mummy.
I love you to the moon and back baby.
