Stuck at home again?
The snow has been out in force again last night. It's just ridiculous. I am determined to get out and go to work today. It has snowed everyday now for the last three weeks and people on our street have had enough. I hope this snow stops sooner rather than later!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!
I know I've neglected my blog over the festive period, I've just been so busy meeting up with old college friends, drinking too much and having fun.
I've made a couple of realistic New Years Resolutions.
1) To eat more healthily and cook more. My mum's originally from the middle east and has always been a wonderful cook, I've learnt a few of her fantastic dishes that she's picked up from her mum and would like to cook more of these dishes myself.
2) To do something fun with Kevin every month. We don't get much time together as we still live with our parents and although Kevin is going to start looking for his own place, it would just be nice to do something fun every month, whether it be going to the pictures or just going somewhere different for a drink.
3) To do more with my camera. I have always been a big fan of photography and the last few years haven't done much with it so this year i am determined to get out and make the most of my camera.
4) Buy a DSLR. See resolution #4.
5) Find a job I want to stick with and that I know I am going to enjoy.
6) To develop a fitness regime and workout everyday or every other day with Wii Your Shape.
7) To lose another stone before my birthday in April.
8) Start planning for mine and Kevin's wedding.
9) Drink A LOT more water. Drink less soda and more Juices. Drink less alcohol.
10) Have a night in/out with the girls once a month.
11) Go out for lunch once a month with mother.
