2013 Overview.

2013 has been such a strange and emotional year, really rubbish on the most part to be honest. Not much has gone the right way for any body I know. So as you can imagine this will be a very happy post haha, it will, i promise and this way you can get to know a little more about me too.

Near enough all of January I was very ill, I didn't leave my bed much let alone the house. I suppose the only good thing about being that ill at that time was not having to go out and brave all the snow we was having at the start of the year, not a great fan of snow... I met Ashley when I was working the December before & that January, we got together at the end of the month. He was there for me every day when I was ill and he made my days brighter just him being there. I was all better at the start of February and celebrated Valentines day in style,going for a meal and having lots of little presents, including my Union Jack Ipod case. I got back into the blogging spirit around the time of Red Nose Day and started gaining new followers. Thank you. After months of applying and looking for jobs, I finally got a temporary job in May, having my own money again and working with Ashley was a great time and I got my tattoo finished on my stomach.

The end of July was when everything seemed to fall apart, I lost my best friend and then felt lost myself. Luckily I had family and old friends to support me, I never have properly but I couldn't thank them enough for everything. I tried to pick myself up, getting out the house by being in touch with old friends that I hadn't seen for two years, joining the gym (even though it's been cancelled since, oops) and having my 21st birthday. Buying a Ukulele for my birthday probably wasn't a great idea as I haven't been on it since I realised if I want to play it, I need to cut my nails short... Just after my birthday I had the chance to get away for just under a week alone at my dads, I needed it. just that short time away.

End of August and things got a whole lot better for myself. I got my best friend back and I couldn't of been happier. Oliver (pussy cat) had a little accident, but he was fine, don't worry. I dyed my hair black and pink and just tried to be the happiest I can be since. 

There's so many people that I could thank forever for the support and love they have gave me this year. So thank you! The past two years haven't been the best so I'm praying that 2014 will be a much better one, for myself, my family, my friends and all you guys. 

Happy 2014!

Instagram. While I've been away.

My first Instagram post, check me out! My most used 'social media' website/app is definitely Instagram at the moment so I post a lot on there. It's not too personal and it's a lot of fun. Unlike every other social media website...

Nino Kuni PS3 game, so frustrating, but such a pretty game. My not so much of a bikini bod before joining the gym haha. Meeting my mates for the first time in nearly 2 years. My 21st birthday. Selfie number 1. My beautiful Oliver. Selfie number 2. Ollie in his basket. Selfie number 3. Selfie before the gym. Just started to try to learn the Ukulele, not going so well. My dads dog, Poppy. Me and Ashley went for a walk. Old picture of me and Ashley. Selfie number 4.

Day out with the boyfriend & some great news!

Hey guys, hope you're all well!

Thought I'd do a little post today about a day out with my boyfriend, Ash. 

So on Wednesday, Ash and I decided to go out, seen as the weather was sunny with only a little wind (or so we thought) It was about 3 o'clock when we decided to go out and got back just after 9. So we did spend quite a bit of time out, only for the two places that we went to. Our original plan was just to go to the pub for an hour and have a little drink in the beer garden. 

We managed to take a few photo's though which was nice, we're trying to take more pictures now seen as the summers coming, at some point! 

So we went out for a pint or two up the pub & a couple games of pool which was lovely, ended up talking to some old folk as well. As you always do. 
Then decided we was hungry so headed for the local '2 meals for £10' deal pub. Both had a chicken burger which was lovely! & then to top it off, had a massive, gorgeous Doughnut Sundae. Wow, it was good! 
Was so nice to have some sun for a change, as you can tell from the photo's though... it was windy!
Just love those days which are just random plans to go out & you end up having such a great day that you never expected. 

___________________________________________________________________________

Now, for the good news! ...Ashley and I now have our jobs back. We start work together again (all being well) on Wednesday 24th April. So soon! So now my blog posts will be a little more exciting as I'll be able to buy new things for a change. Great! 

Hope you're all doing great. 

Chitty Chatty Sunday,

Hii Blogging folk :)
Hope you're all doing okay, thought I would start doing a chatty post. Just every now and again, just for something a little different and so maybe you can know me a little better. 

I've had a lovely week,
Monday - I spent the day at my boyfriends house (Ash). Didn't do much, just spent time together at his, having a lazy day, as you do. I got the bus back on the night. Don't you think bus rides are soothing, I love spending 40 minutes on that bus ride just with my Ipod in. Even though that bus ride is the most bumpiest ever, honestly & when you're sitting at the back. You do get a sore bum and have to brace yourself when you see a speed bump coming. 
Tuesday - On the morning, I went to a work program I'm on, it's a program which help you find jobs. Their not that great, but every little helps. At the moment nobody seems to be taking on full time, only part time which is fine for me as I'm starting college in September so I'll only need a part time job then for weekends. I didn't do a lot after that, had a bath and just relaxed. 
Wednesday - This was a lovely day, I wasn't planning on seeing Ash today as he had football on Thursday night. (As it costs us £5 each way to see each other, we normally spend a few days at each others houses) But he cancelled going to football to come and see me which was so nice as I wasn't in the best of moods. Just having one of those down days, as you do. 
Thursday - Didn't do a lot this day either, me and Ash spent the day watching films, playing on the PlayStation, on Sims. (Have you tried The Sims Free play game on Iphones & Android? It's amazing, check it out!) We just had another lazy day really...
On the night time we had a message sent to the both of us on Facebook, saying that we can have our jobs back at the end of May which is amazing. Just need to sort out travel, as before they had a bus running to take us all to work, but they have now stopped it. Which is frustrating. But if we can sort out travel, we could be working again by June!! Yayy.
Friday - Me and Ash spent the day in the garden, tidying up. Weather was nice for a few hours so we had the chance to get out there & spruce it up a bit after the winter months. Hopefully next week if the weathers nice we'll be able to get out there & do the rest. Hasn't it been a lot nicer this week, just need the little spurts of rain and all that wind to go away. Get that sun out!!
On the evening time, I cooked a Chicken, Bacon, Leek, Cheese Bake with Pasta. It was sooo good! My mom cooked this a few months ago and it's recently become one of my favourite meals, I can't get enough of it. 
Saturday - My Ashley had to go home today, which sucks. But I will be going to spend a few days with him on Monday. Before we went, we had a nice time. Woke up early as the council decided to send their Lawn Mower people out at silly o'clock. So we had breakfast, and spent some nice time together. I spent the rest of the day just doing my own thing, having some lazy time, yet again.
Today - So I'm sitting here now, it's 2:10, I'm watching Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring and I can smell dinner cooking. My plan for today, eat, watch all the Lord of the Rings films (really need to get The Hobbit!), write some blog posts to post while I'm at Ash's and then have a bath and get all pampered. Sounds like a great Sunday to me.

I know my week wasn't too exciting, maybe the next time I do this, I would have done more in the week. Here's hoping! Hope you've all had a more exciting week than me ha ha.

The Boyfriend Tag.

Hello again lovely people. So this time I'm back with the famous Boyfriend Tag. 28 questions for the boyfriend (Ashley) to answer. Here goes...

1) Where did we meet?

Where you ask? At only the most beautiful work place in the whole world. AMAZON.CO.UK. All the way up Rugeley. A place full of life and atmosphere. 

2) Where was our first date?

First date? That would depend on what you call a first date. On several occasions me and my beautiful other half would meet up in Walsall town and go for a few drinks in the Old Courthouse Wetherspoons. But that to me isn't what you would call a "date". For me, my first date with Victoria was on Valentines Day when we went out for dinner, dessert & wine. on that day she also met my Father and his other half for the first time properly as well.

3) What was your first impression of me?

I was very shy when I first met Vic, but saying that, she seemed very much the same with her nervous giggle and smile. I thought she was very cute & beautiful. I didn't think she would ever grow to like me. i am so lucky to have her in my life and call her my girlfriend is such a privilege. 

4) When did you meet my family?

It was on two separate occasions i met Vic's mother & Father. For the Mother it happened with me and Vic were up in a bar watching the football. She then suggested that we go back to hers so i can meet her mother and there it happened. As for the father me and Vic were invited to a charity quiz night. For the outside family i met them all when we when out for Sunday lunch in a old fashioned pub. 

5) Name a weird habit I have?

Just one? Gosh, well the most obvious one I can think of is when she just randomly comes up to me and sniffs me...yeah i know weird right? She will just sit there and sniff my neck or my hair or whatever. 

6) How long have we been together?

We have been together since the 28th of January. Cute how I remember yeah?

7) Do we have any traditions?

We most certainly do and my favourite tradition we have is called "nap time". Yes so boring.  We'll be watching a film or something and then just decide its time to nap for an hour...or two or three....

8) First thing you noticed about me?

First thing i noticed about Vic was how shy she seemed to be.  Nervous with A little smile and giggle.  Oh how i love her. Bless....

9) What grinds my gears?

Oh this is a funny question because the answer I'm going to give will make her laugh in honesty. one of the biggest main ones is when other girls decide to like my photos on "Instagram". N'awwwwww.

10) Favourite feature about me?

Always said it is my favourite feature about her and does nothing but tries to hide it every time i notice it. But it's her beautiful smile, especially when she shows her teeth. Mine... 
11) What do we argue about the most?

Argue? We're yet to argue so I can't answer that....boring blogger me...yours sincerely "The Boyfriend"

12) Something you do that I wish you didn't do?

I know one....only one, but it's when I'm holding Vic or cuddling and i decide to look over my shoulder to grab my phone to see if someone has messaged me. 

13) What kind of cake would you bake me on my birthday?

Easy...Chocolate... everybody loves chocolate...even my Vic

14) Do I play any sports?

Not as far as I can tell... Does 8 ball on facebook count?

15) What can I spend hours doing?

Oh dear...Vic could easily spend hours "Solving Crimes" on that criminal case thing on facebook....guaranteed 

16) Who wears the pants in the relationship?

I'm no brag or anything....but its me.... i love her so much.... but likewise.. I wear them.... 

17) Do I have any weird obsessions?

Funnily enough Vic has a nack for dying her hair a lot in short periods of time. Sniffing me? Think i already mentioned that?

18) Nicknames for each other?

Vick - Pickle..... Me - Bean

19) What is my favourite place to eat?

She'll eat anywhere bless her, not a fussy one. Lucky me

Vic doesn't like olives, whereas ...l Love them

After having a quick browse through her HUGE film collection i quickly concluded that the movie in question is "Pulp Fiction". 

25) What is one talent I have?

Is this a blog or a job interview!? hmm a talent? okay... I'd say one talent would be that she is actually really good at baking...i love everything she has baked up...see i myself am more of an acquired cook, and she has taught me a few things about baking. Shes epic.

It's hard to narrow that down with so many possible answers but i'm going with the crunchy M+M's (Blue Packet)

Valentines Day...

...& what a day it was. Had a lovely day with the other half. Waking up exchanging gifts for each other, with me buying him a the Lucky Ace Zippo lighter as well other little gifts and him buying me a lovely necklace with little gifts also. What a darlin.

After a day of just chilling at home with each other, we had a lovely meal out with his family and had a few drinks to celebrate the night. As you do.
It was amazing though & i couldn't have asked for a better day and night, considering the fact i don't celebrate Valentines day. Thank you Ashley, i love you.
