Throwback Thursday's

Throwback Thursday First!!!!

Throwbacks

I wanted to participate in this last week, but had a meeting at work to prepare for, so I didn't get the chance. 

This week I'd love to share some interesting facts about 1978 and the year I was born. 

1978

Grease was born. I Love this film, even though I was only a baby and not old enough to remember it, I still enjoy watching John Travolta strutting his stuff today. Grease was and always will be one of my favourite films.

All of these great Actors were born in 1978.

Ian Somerhalder.

Katie Holmes

 

The sexy James Franco.

  

He reminds me of my fella Kev in these two pictures. It's definitely the chocolately brown eyes and the soft Curlyish hair. I reckon if Kev decided to grow a bit of a beard, this is how I'd picture him. 

The 1978 Soccer World Cup 

The 1978 FIFA World Cup, the 11th staging of the FIFA World Cup, was held in Argentinabetween 1 and 25 June. The 1978 World Cup was won by Argentina who beat theNetherlands 3–1 after extra time in the final. This win was the first World Cup title for Argentina, who became the fifth team (after Uruguay, Italy, England and West Germany), to be both hosts and world champions. The official match ball was the Adidas Tango. Argentina were rumoured to have cheated.

Prime Minister in the United Kingdom

James Callaghan

President of The United States of America

Jimmy Carter

 

Number one on the 8th April 1978 - The day I was born was.

Brian & Michael - Matchstick Men & Matchstick Cats & Dogs.

 

House Prices back in 1978 were quite low then.

In 1978 a house might set you back £15.5k whereas now you can expect to be paying up £175.000K for a house.

Pint of Milk in 1978 £.11p

Pint of Milk in 2013 - £1.

A Loaf of bread in 1978 was £. 28p

A loaf of bread in 2013 is £1.

A Packet of 20 Cigarettes was on average £.58p in 1978

A Packet of 20 Cigarettes now in 2013 is on average £7.22!

Grange Hill  was a kids television programme about life in a modern day comprehensive (High School) began in 1978 and finished in 2008.

The First Ever episode in 1978

The Last ever episode in 2008 

 

So there's how 1978 compares to how things are now. It's been fun to share with y'all. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed typing it. 

First Things First

I'm so happy to be linking up with Halie and Hallie again this week for First Things First. I really like it because it's such fun.

This time we want to know all about:

1) First Thing You Do When You Get Home. (This one was supposed to be First Thing You Do When You Get to the Gym, but as I don't go to the gym, there was the option to do this instead).

2) First Date With Your Significant Other.

3) First Email Address.

So here goes.

1) First Thing You Do When You Get Home. 

Well this one is easy. I turn the intruder alarm off and remove my shoes, then I'll make a cup of Tea and stand in the kitchen whilst watching either Deal or No Deal and Four in a Bed (depending on what time I get home). 

2) First Date With Your Significant Other.  

Hmm. My first date with Kevin wasn't actually a date. Well it was a date, but we weren't actually on date if you know what I mean.  It had all began the Saturday before at my friend's sister's engagement party/mum and dad's silver wedding anniversary. I had been a little reluctant to go because my ex would be there, and I wasn't really looking forward to seeing him, as we parted on somewhat (as I see it) awkward terms. So anyway, as the night went on, I was getting more and more fed up because my ex kept trying to talk to me and I was ready for going. I decided to get one last drink and then head off home. I was standing at the bar when I first spotted Kevin. He was with his friend John. Apparently he'd been looking over most of the night and me being me, hadn't really noticed until my friend Chris told me. I sort of knew Kevin through my friend Dani and had seen him round her house a few times, but never really thought "Oh he's cute." All I knew was that they had worked together and stayed friends. 

So back to the night of the engagement party. Kevin offered to buy me a drink and I told him I wasn't drinking so he could get me a coke. Then he asked me if he could have my cell number. Just came straight out with it, I said no at first because of the way Al had been with me and didn't feel ready for another relationship so soon. But I gave it him anyway because he seemed nice. That was that, until the Monday night. I was having a few quiet drinks with another friend in our local bar when up popped a text from Kevin. "Hello you. How do you fancy going to the cinema on Friday? Kevin x"  I showed it my friend and she said Go for it. I told him I would and then began a night of text flirting. Anyway the next day, he text me again and said "How's about going out for something to eat first?" This time 2 kisses. That night I told him I wasn't really ready for a relationship and thought that he would leave me alone. Then a few weeks later, we were sitting in his local bar waiting for his friends (whom I had already met) when he told me that "He loved me". I was like whoah! hold on a sec, we're not officially dating or are we? "How can you be in love with me? We've not been seeing each other that long." Kevin just laughed and said "Ok. I think I'm falling for you then." The rest is just History. We've been together almost six and half years now.

Kev

The night of our first date.

Bank Holiday Sunday 2009

New Years Eve 2009

At one of Kevin's Work Colleagues Wedding

Night down town last year.

This New Year's just gone.

3) First Email Address. 

I think my first email address was something like Saz126athotmail.com or something like that. I don't use it much now as I've got a Google account. 

Looking forward to reading yours ladies, and hopefully finding some new blog friends.

Five for 5

Monday's here again......

Hey fellow bloggers. Hope you all managed to stick to a few of your Five goals this week.

I think I did pretty well, considering.

1. Read a new book.
- It's downloaded to my kindle, I just haven't started reading it yet. So it's going green.
2. Re-submit Unit 2 of my Business Administration Course. 
- Yes! Finally I can move on to Unit 3 now and complete my assessment for that unit. Which needs to be in tonight by the way. So I should really be doing that right now!
3. Have at least 2 green teas a day and loads of water. 
-I am so pleased I managed to do this. I felt so much better last week for doing so. Green tea acts as a laxative and helps you to loose weight. 
4. Start Unit 3 of my Business Admin course. 
- I've given this one an orange this week as I have started it and just have a few little things to finish off before I can submit the final assessment tonight.
5. Be prepared for work on Thursday. 
- I won't share what I had to prepare for, but let's just say it went a lot better than I had expected it to and it was nice to actually meet our Area Manager!

So on to this weeks goals.

1) Buy a blue blouse for my 2nd Interview on Thursday.
- I need to do this because my trusty white one is looking a bit tattered.

2) Drink at least "3" cups of Green tea a day. 
- I had to increase this to 3 cups this week because Green tea acts as a laxative and helps you to loose weight.

3) Complete Unit 3 of Business Admin Assessment and submit it TONIGHT!
- This one need to be done tonight, I will kick myself really hard if I don't do this today.

4) Eat more fresh fruit. No bananas allowed! 
- I am usually quite good when it comes to fresh fruit and veg, but I don't eat many Apples so getting a few more Apples into my day will stop me eating CRISPS (CHIPS), CAKES, ANYTHING SUGARY THAT MAKES YOU FAT!!!

5)  Make Tom Jones' (Not that Tom Jones!) slimming world chicken.
- This guy was voted "Young Slimmer of the Year" in 2012, after reading his emotional story in the March/April edition of slimming world and how he loved KFC, I thought I would try and re-create his healthy slimming world chicken recipe. 

Next week's post might be a tad later, I guess it will depend on how I get on at my 2nd Interview on Thursday!!!! Wish me luck!!!

Harry Potter Fix - Week 18

This always intrigues me, so I'll be trying to link up when I can Ladies...



1. If you could be any Harry Potter character who would you be and why? 
Hermoine Granger would be my first choice. She's brave, bold and a little bit feisty. A lot like me in some ways.

Secondly I'd love to be Minerva McGonagall. She's a strong and powerful character. Also being an Animangus intrugues me. I'd love to be able to transform into an animal or something non-human.

Thirdly - Rita Skeeter. The journalist. I love digging up dirt and anything to do with journalism, so she would be an ideal character for me.

2. Favourite single chapter in a Harry Potter Book. For me this would have to be this one:

Chapter 17: Cat, Rat and DogEdit

Sirius Black: "Going to kill me, Harry?"

Harry Potter: "You killed my parents."

Sirius Black: "I don’t deny it... But if you knew the whole story."

— In the Shrieking Shack.

Ron being dragged by the black dog into the Whomping Willow

Shortly afterwards, Scabbers escapes from Ron's grasp. Harry, Ron and Hermione run after him, where they see the black dog and Crookshanks. After Ron catches Scabbers, the dog grabs him by the arm (breaking his leg in the process of trying to holding onto a tree root with that leg to avoid being dragged off) and pulls him in a passage under theWhomping Willow. Harry, Hermione, and Crookshanks follow after them. The passage leads them to the Shrieking Shack, where they find Ron, Scabbers, and Sirius Black, who was the dog that dragged Ron to the Shrieking Shack. Harry manages to overpower and subdue Black, who admits that he was responsible for the death of his parents. Lupin then arrives, and is accused by Hermione of being Black's accomplice, and a werewolf, revealing that she found out following Snape's lesson on werewolves, as well as a number of other signs: he was always absent on nights of the full moon which is also his Boggart. Lupin admits that he is a werewolf, but denies the charge of helping Black. He explains that he found out where Harry, Ron and Hermione went through the Marauder's Map , being one of the four writers of it and knowing the three would visit Hagrid that night due to Buckbeak's execution. He also adds that he saw a supposedly dead person on the map with the trio; Peter Pettigrew , in the form of Scabbers.

3. What would your ideal class schedule look like at Hogwarts? 

I think I would enjoy Transfiguration, Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions and Charms. I'd also like Muggle Studies as well. 

Looking forward to next weeks Harry Potter Fix now.

First Things First

I've decided to join in with this link up this week, because it looks like so much fun. 

And now moving on to our regularly scheduled post -- this week, we're talking about:

First thing I do when I wake up in the morning

First heart break

First prom or school dance

1) First thing I do when I wake up in the morning.  I usually wake up before my alarm goes off at 7.30am. If I'm feeling sleepy I might lie in until 7.45. It's very rare I do this though. Once I'm awake I may check Facebook and twitter. Not every morning though.  Then I will apply Liz Earle - Eyebright to my eyes to refresh them. Sometimes I'm straight out of bed and getting ready for work.

2) First heart break. Well seeing I have been with Kevin for nearly 6 and a half years now, the only real heart break I remember was back in 2006, the same year I got with Kevin. It was the night Kevin and I met at a friends engagement/25 Wedding Anniversary/Welcome Home Party (Yes I know! All rolled into one night). I had been seeing my friend's dad's mate with whom he was in a band. Alex was the drummer. We dated previously for about 2 months but remained friends. He was at the same party and let's just say he got really rather drunk and tried it on with me, I was having non of it and told him I would take him back to my friend's house as I had decided not to drink, so I was driving.  We got into my car and left for home, Al decided he wanted something to eat so we went to stop for a kebab.  I was unaware that there was a police car following us, we pulled up next to the kebab house and got out of the car, that's when the police officer stopped me. He decided to give me a Breathalyzer and told me that I was over the limit. I couldn't have been as I was not drinking. So I was taken down to the police station for the night and put in a cell. It later came out that Al had tried to spike my drink.

3) First Prom or School Dance.  I don't think I really qualify to be able to answer this one because unlike the High Schools in the USA, we didn't have a Prom night or high school dance. They do now but unfortunately I never had one. 

Five for 5

Well it's Monday again, so that can only mean Five for 5. I haven't done very well this week. I admit I have been a bit lazy. 

Anyway last weeks goals were: 
1. Read a new book whether hard/paper back or on the kindle. This ones red this week because I didn't complete it in any way, shape or form.
2. Cut out the the diet soda for a week. This has to be red because I was doing so well up until Wednesday and didn't have any diet soda, but on Wednesday afternoon, I decided to have a diet soda when I went out for the afternoon with my mam.
3. Have porridge and get up at 7.30 every morning during the week, Be positive. This ones Orange because I did get up at 7.30 every morning but didn't have porridge. I still tried to be positive though.
4. Keep My Diary up to date. Red because I didn't complete this at all.
5. Put some new music on my iPhone. Green because I downloaded "The Lumineers" and a couple of other songs from the 80's and 90's that I used to like. 

So now on to this weeks goals.
1. Read a new book. Following on from last week. I am going to try and get this one done at some point.
2. Re-submit my Unit 2 Assessment for my Business Admin course. Complete the assessment and start unit Three. 
3. Complete and Submit Unit 3 by Monday 18 February.
4. Have at least 2 green teas every day and drink plenty of water. 
5. Prepare for Thursday's Meeting at Work.

Happy Monday. 5 for Five.

I can't believe it's Monday again so soon! Seriously whee does the time go? Anyway on to this weeks 5 for Five post. I actually did quite well with last week's goals, so am pretty chuffed with myself.
Here goes....

1. Drink More Green Tea. This one's gone green this week, because I did actually drink more green tea. Particularly on Monday, because when I went to Slimming World (as I try to do every week), I hopped on the scales and had lost 2 1/2 Lb's. Only another 5 1/2 to get my stone award!!!

2. Buy an E-co Cig like Kevin's. This one is definitely green because I got soaked through last Monday when I went to the store that sells these. I got a Pink one. Well pink is more girly. I am still getting used to it right now, so I can't really say that it is working. But I have kinda managed to cut down.

3. Drink More Water. Again this one was a huge success. I had at least 1 and a half bottles every day. I will say that I feel a lot better for drinking so much water.

4. Get More Active. This one's got to be Orange because I walked three times out of the five days. Monday when I got soaked wet through going to the E-Cig shop after parking on Tesco's car park. Tuesday walked round Bury with my mom for a couple of hours. Wednesday was a lazyish day whereas Thursday I took my gran shopping and walked a fair bit. Friday was a little more relaxed but I still did a fair bit of walking up and down at work.

5. Eat more spinach and greens. I've had to give this green because I did actually eat quite a lot of spinach and they say spinach contains Iron. I really need more Iron in my diet so this helped.

So on to this weeks Goals.

1. Read a New Book. Whether on the Kindle or in Paperback form.
2. Cut out the diet soda for a whole week.
3. Get up and have some porridge for breakfast at 7.30am M-F. Be Positive for the week.
4. Keep my diary up to date.
5. Download some new songs and artists to put on my iPhone.

I am hoping that I'll get to do most of these this week. I am feeling positive about this week so I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Tuesday's 3 Things.

Three Thing's Tuesday is here again! here's mine for this week.

1. 3 Favourite Holidays.
Salou (every time.) Australia and Padstow/Haryln Bay. 
2. 3 Favourite drinks.
Stella 4% - I love this now. It goes down really easily. Skinny Gingerbread Latte. Bacardi & Diet Coke.
3. 3 Favourite Books.
Play Dead - Harlan Coben. Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy - EL James. This 30 Something Life. 
4. 3 Famous People I'd Like to meet. 
Hmmm this is a tough one, I'd have to say Karl Pilkington (of an Idiot Abroad fame. This is a TV show where Karl is sent around the world completing things off his bucket list.)  Prince Harry - I just think he's so much cooler than Wills and Any of the Dragon's from Dragon's Den.
5. 3 Favourite Websites/Blogs.
This ones tough because there's so many. But I'll say 3 favourite blogs that I read almost daily.  Oh Mishka.
Party of One. Faith & Serendipity ( I'd like to give honourable mentions to Tales of a Twenty Something, Fantasically Average and Crystal Jigsaw.)
Websites are easy - Facebook, everything iCafe and of course blogger.
6. 3 people on your speed dial you call regularly. 
This ones easy as well. Mum (mobile and home), Kevin (my fiance) and Jonathan (my brother). 

Five For 5 - Week 4

OMG! I can't Believe it's Monday again so soon. Where on earth are the days going? Anyway Last Week was a total disaster as far as goals went. Although I did manage to keep to one of them!

Here's how I went on last week with my goals....

1. Make a Meal Plan. - Fail. This one's a fail because I just think it's a bit pointless for me right now.
2. Do something Active. - Fail. I've failed this one because even though I had to walk a fair bit last week because of the snow, I don't think I did nearly enough activity.
3. Dedicate some time to this blog. - Almost there. I'm giving this an almost there because I did manage to blog a bit more last week.
4. Get to bed before 11pm Monday to Friday - Yeah! This one was definitely a pass, even if It was 22.55!

So here's next weeks goals.

1 Drink more Green Tea, eat more spinach and what Slimming World calls Speed foods and Super Speed Foods. This is a definite must because it's got loads of antioxidants and is said to detox the body, therefore making you toilet a lot more. I definitely need to eat more super speed and speed foods, purely because I need that Stone to come off!!!!

2. Buy a Tornado Tank e-cig like Kevin's. I need to either cut down or stop smoking and this will come in useful for when I feel like one but can't have one.

3. Drink more water - whether it be bottled mineral water (still though. It has to be Still!!!) or water straight from the tap. I need to drink more of this and cleanse my system from these bad toxins.

4. Get active!!! Walk somewhere or get on the wii! - I know I keep saying I'm going to do this and this week I WILL make it a green for next week!

5. Push myself to find a full time job within Admin/Secretarial. - This is something I think I am good at and my Business & Administration course is helping me to discover new things about my role and how I can apply them to my work.

Tuesday's Three Things

Tuesday Three Things will I am hoping become a regular post on my blog. I often find myself suffering from writer's block (or should that be blogger's block?) and sometimes don't post anything for weeks. So anyway here we go with this week's Tuesday Three Things....

1. Top Three Kinds of Food.
Salmon Fillet. I don't mind how it's cooked as long as it's not smothered in sauce or fried in too much oil.
Mexican Food, such as Chilli Con Carne (which has to be hot and I mean HOT!!) Guacamole and Re-fried Beans along with some Salsa. I also like Italian food such as a simple Spaghetti Bolognese or Cannelloni. 
Chicken Breast. This has got to be the one food I can eat and eat and eat and not get bored of it. 

2. First Three things you do in a morning. 
Get up and visit the bathroom. Cleanse my tired eyes with Liz Earle's Bright Eyes. Get dressed.

3. Last Three things you do at night.
Visit the bathroom, brush my teeth, check social media (email, Facebook  twitter) have a game of words with friends with my mom.

4. 3 TV shows you never miss.
This one is a toughie because I admit I'm not really into watching television right now. I prefer to read a book. But if I honestly had to choose three programmes...first would be "The Hotel". "Dancing On Ice" and "Home and Away". 

5. 3 Places you want to Visit.
New York, Barbados and Canada.

6. 3 People you can always count on.
Firstly my parents, they've always been there for both me and my brother. My Brother. My Fiance.

Random Questions

1. What is your favorite brand of frozen pizza?

If I had to choose, it would probably be goodfellas. 

2. What is your favorite item at McDonald’s?

Their Chocolate Milkshake.

3. Have you ever been to Disney Land or World?

Only to Disneyland. Twice back in the 80's and 90's when we were visiting my Aunt and Uncle in California.

4. Favorite display in your local zoo.

I couldn't say as it's that long since I have actually been to the zoo.

5. Tastiest beer.

Probably Corona or Stella 4% tickles my fancy right about now.

6. What is your favorite thing to blog about?

I'll blog about anything really. Usually I like to blog about my life, but if I see something that a fellow blogger has posted (Like this I saw on Dawn's blog.)

7. Favorite Beatles song?

I don't like the Beatles. I wasn't around to experience their music so I have never been a fan of it.

8. What’s better, original 3 Star Wars movies, or newest 3?

I can't stand Star Wars or anything with a Science Fiction theme to it. But if I had to choose, I'd say the Original 3.

9. What was your favorite pet?

I have only ever had Hamsters and Rabbits. Daisy my rabbit was my favourite, but she wasn't the friendliest of rabbits. She often had a tendency to bite if she had enough of being petted.

10. Tic Tacs, breath mint or candy?

Neither. I'll have some gum nowadays or a piece of fruit.

11. Tic Tacs, favorite flavor?

The original Lime and orange, closely followed by the Mint.

Five for 5

 

Last Weeks Five for 5 didn't actually go according to plan.

I didn't manage to get on the Wii for 1/2 hour every other night. 

I did however get round to drinking 2 bottles of water each day.

I didn't get to blog about 4 different things.

Well It's Monday again, and that means it's time for Five for 5. So here's this weeks.

1. Complete unit 2  Assessment of Business and Administration course by ten pm on Monday (tonight). 
This is at the top of the list because it takes priority over everything else this week.

2. Try to do something active everyday - even if it means just a half hour on the Wii. 
I need to get this stone off and last week was a disappointing result, so even doing just a little activity will surely make this weight drop off.

3. Drink less caffeine and more water. Limit myself to around 4 cups of tea during the day. 
I need to start drinking more water as it's  great for detoxification.  

4. Try not to have give in to temptation and have any bread products - this includes crackers and anything else that contains wheat. 
Bread seems to bloat me now and I often feel like I want to eat less. I hate the bloated feeling that I get so it's time to cut out the bread.

5. Dedicate some time to this blog, if not daily then every other day. 
Find new things to blog about and try and gain some new followers would be a great incentive.
