Happy 100th and a little update!

Wooo, so this is my 100th post onto my little blog, aw! (and it's nearly its 1st birthday too!)

And in true Just a little blog fashion its a little apology/update post! 

So apologies first for not blogging for a while, but life is super super busy to get chance to sit and upload pictures and write an actual post. But I have been taking pictures for posts in the past few weeks so I've got several posts ready and waiting! Its half term so I have a little bit of time to sit and write some posts around the ten tonnes of revision I've got to do, damn exams. 

But in all seriousness I do actually miss writing posts when I can't get chance to sit and write. Anywaaaay

Little update time. College is getting tough but there's less than 10 weeks until all the exams will be over, yay and I'll be done with college forever. Then its uni in September,  but I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet. So for the next few weeks posts will either be scheduled or few and far between, which sucks but I need to concentrate on these exams. I'm going to try my very best! 

My baby cousin turns 16 tomorrow...which is so so scary. As much as I love seeing how shes growing up I just wish time would slow down a bit. Having said that I am only two years older than her....but its still scary.

I'm also at 10 weeks and 5 days until I jet off to find some glorious sun and temperatures. 

I've also been taking pictures over the past few weeks and just wanted to share a few with you; just sums my few weeks up really; 

There's been a lot of friend time, healthy eating, mothers day celebrations and in what little spare time I've had mini pamper evenings with lush and mini eggs of course!

Hope everyone's well, thanks for reading :-)

My week(s) in pictures

This post has got nearly 3 weeks of pictures in...well done for regularly blogging Hannah. 

Anyways I have had a super busy but super exciting few weeks!

Me being me didn't put the pictures in any sort of order, round of applause for me.

The two pictures of my dog- I've spent a lot of time at home in my spare time these past few weeks and alot of that time has been spent with my dog. The two pictures are just two of many I've taken these past few weeks but these two just make me laugh.

The two artsy nature pictures- Look at that photography work. This week the weathers been quite nice so I've gone on a few walks with my dad and the dog. Whilst out on these walks I've snapped these two pictures which I'm quite happy with(I'm going to blog a few more of the pictures I've taken soon in a post!)

The random picture of 3 letters on a page- Just after Christmas we had mock exam week at college and these were my results, they were a huge huge surprise when I got the piece of paper because I thought my exams had gone rubbish, so now its time to knuckle down and get tonnes of revision done ready for the summer exams, eeek!

The purple-y picture of a man- This is one of very few decent pictures I took at the Rizzle Kicks concert I went to a few weeks ago! Me and two friends spent the day queuing in the freezing cold but it was all worth it as we were front row and had an amazing time! If anyone gets a chance to see Rizzle Kicks you defiantly must go!

Jillian Michaels fitness DVD- If anyone has read my most recent Weight Loss Wednesday post(which is here btw... WLW post) they'll know that I'm currently loving these two DVD's and have spent the past three weeks doing the exercises on and off in an attempt to live healthier! I defiantly recommend these two if anyone who is looking for exercise DVD's!

So there we go, a mini round up of my life these past few weeks!

My week in pictures

Well this is another one of my started but never finished projects. I started off so well posting each week about what I'd been up to during the week through pictures. But I've not done this post in a long long time. So I'm going to re-start this back up, so then my blog isn't neglected quite as much! Plus I quite enjoyed the challenge of remembering to take pictures during the week, even of the most mundane of things.
(Most of the pictures I'll be posting I'll probably have posted on my Instagram as well, which is here; hannnx oooo shameless)

This week was half term so I spent a lot of time relaxing, at home and with friends.

The first picture is my dog dressed in a scarf, because I'm one of those people who finds things like that really funny...
Second is a picture of one of my favourite films which I finally purchased on DVD and then found time to watch... I really recommend 500 days of summer, even though its not everyone's cup of tea. But I like it, its a bit more of a realistic love story than all the other cliche movies.

Third is a picture from a night out on Friday. It was a fab fab fab night, although slightly too much was drank...but when you only go out around once a month, like me, I'm sure it can be excused, right?
The fourth picture is of a little note, which one of my closest and cutest friends attached to a little valentines present; Love hearts and a love hearts candle(which smells delicious!). The presents were just a bit of fun because neither of us had a valentine.  My friends are so cute.

And the final, very vain picture, was taken on the night of one of my friends dance show which all our little friendship group went to watch and support her in. The picture was originally to show the make up and outfit I was wearing, but didn't really show either very well; now its a multi-use picture I suppose.

Well, that was my week! Hope everyone had a good week, I'll probably move my week in pictures day back to a Sunday from next week. I didn't want to post this yesterday seen as I'd already blogged yesterday, look at me on a roll!

Why the long pause?

Well as far as not neglecting my blog in 2014 goes I'm really not doing a good job. I just haven't had the time recently to sit and do a full post. But even last week was too crazy to sit and do my weight loss Wednesday post. In fairness though I didn't really do a very good job at staying healthy; life was a bit crazy, so it wouldn't have been very motivational for anyone. 

BUT it's half term now (even though we're already half way through already) so I've got a little bit of time to just sit and write some posts. So that's what I'm going to do and then I'll probably scheduled them for the next few weeks; cheating I know, but I know that I'm not going to have much time to sit and blog for a few more weeks. 

I have a few posts which I'm in the process of finishing so I'll post those in the upcoming future, but in all honesty I have (YET AGAIN) writers blog, and very few ideas for posts. So if anyone has any suggestions, tags or anything let me know! I'm pretty open minded!

So I hope everyone's okay and having a good February!

Weight Loss Wednesday

This past week has possibly been the best so far; filled with motivation and healthier living! Yipee!

This week I've managed to loose half a pound, which isn't quite my 1 pound a week goal but I'm still pretty impressed! Me and my mum have purchased a nutri-bullet blender type thing so have been perfecting all sorts of smoothies and juices in it this week. I'm loving having a fruit smoothie instead of my usual two slices of toast in a morning. Cutting down on carbohydrates(although I may have increased my sugar intake, through fruit sugars, you can't win them all!) and eating more fruit and vegetables has given me so much energy and motivation to start working out and doing more!

I have also purchased Jillian Michaels 30 day shred exercise DVD, which I'm quite looking forward to starting; bit of cardio and muscle work should be quite fun. Especially considering I'm pretty motivated! 

My advice for getting motivated is finding something that you enjoy and finding something that works for you...yeah okay it might take slightly longer to reach your goals but at least you'll be reaching them in a way you feel motivated to carry on doing and feel happy doing! That way they'll be so much easier to reach as well, enjoyment makes everything that more bearable!

I hope everyone else is having a good and motivated Weight Loss Wednesday!

P.S. I'm going to post some other things on my blog again soon, I've just been super super busy :-)! 

Weight Loss Wednesday

Another week done. Where on earth does time go? But that's a whole other topic eh?

So after an awful first week this week has been SO much better! I've managed to eat healthy all week, do some walking(not quite as much as I'd have liked but I'm still ill so I'm letting myself off...) and I've managed to get my mum motivated too!

I've found in the past that having someone to exercise with or eat healthily with is great motivation, but my mum is currently on a meal replacement diet, which involves no food and 3 milkshake type things a day. As much as the results are both amazing and motivating I don't really fancy not eating at all. But she's also started exercising which means I've got a little partner, woo! We've started this week by doing about half an hour on the Wii fit twice in the past week, which is fun as well as (hopefully) beneficial. 

One of my close friends asked for a running partner the other day and I said yes so hopefully I should be going out running a couple of nights a week too soon!

Next week I'm looking forward to my nutri-bullet arriving which my mum ordered as a surprise for me so I can start juicing and making smoothies! yum yum yum(I'll post some recipes or ideas when I perfect a good mix for anyone else who juices!)

So all in all I'm feeling positive this week! I'm going to think of something else to post next week instead of just a huge bulk of text about how the weeks gone. 

I hope everyone's had a good week and has a brilliantly motivated week!

Just a little life update

As far as life goes the past few weeks have been ridiculously busy! I've had so much going on, so much to do, a hell of a lot of stress and a lot of nerves. I've had a quite a bit of disappointment as well.

I started learning to drive in May and just under 4 weeks ago I took my driving test for the first time. I felt quite nervous going into it but soon relaxed. Then for my examiner to fail me on a roundabout for no apparent reason. So I was pretty gutted about that! However, I've re-booked and am retaking it next week, so fingers crossed! Especially now that I've finally bought a car!! YAAY! After my 18th birthday I had enough money to buy a car, I then came to an agreement about the insurance with my mum so I've been lucky enough to get a car, its the first big big purchase I've ever made and I'm so excited to start driving now!

If any of you have been through the university application you'll know how damn stressful it is! I sent of my UCAS application and received a couple of interviews. The first of which was my second choice university. Safe to say that was a nerve racking day and then a nerve racking wait until I heard back from them. To then find out that I hadn't got a place. Honestly nothing compares to how devastating that is, not a personal rejection from someone, not even being rejected from a job is that devastating. Unless you've been through it you honestly don't understand how bad it makes you feel. But picking yourself up from it, moving on and hoping for the best at another interview is the best thing to do!

If I got the chance to tell 12 year old me something without a doubt the first thing I would tell myself is to always be careful about who you get close to, who you trust and how attached you get to someone. I've recently come to learn that a lot of people just mess you around, drop you when they want and don't put the effort in that you do. Move on and be careful, people can be harsh.

I always feel a lot better after I've blogged.

My week #6

As expected this last week was awful. Nothing seemed to want to go right, there was so much going on and a ridiculous amount of stress! I managed to go a full week without taking a picture of anything interesting (just of coursework and sheets for college, zzzz)

But this week honestly did make me think about who I can turn to and trust the most. For me I would always say family but this week has proved the power very close friends can have on my mood and how I feel about something. I know everyone thinks it but I'm pretty sure my close circle of friends, plus a few other friends are the absolute best in the world! I can genuinely say they always have my back, and I'd honestly always have theirs.

There's something special about the relationship you have with your friends and I don't even think the relationships you have with family even come close to those with friends. I don't know where I'm going with this but I suppose I'm trying to say we take our friends for granted and should just appreciate them a little more, especially during difficult times.

Well that got very sentimental all at once, didn't it? Anyway I hope everyone had a better week than I did and enjoy the fresh new week!

Thanks for reading!

My week #5

Even though I'm still ill I thought I'd better do my weekly week picture post; just so then I don't feel like I've cheated myself out of a week update to look back on in the future!

This week was two of my closest friends 18th birthdays! The first two pictures were taken when we went out onto Blackpool prom/town centre to celebrate for Lauren's 18th on Thursday night. We headed for food on the prom and then had ice cream despite the weather! We spent the evening wandering the prom, laughing a hell of a lot! The night was so much fun! So Happy 18th Lauren!

Then friday night was Shanice's 18th birthday and she'd been planning a fancy dress party for the past year! It was such a good night and everyone looked amazing! The rest of the photos are from Friday night; as you may be able to tell I opted for a St. Trinians inspired costume. Everyone, and the birthday girl especially, all looked amazing and an amazing night was had by all I reckon! So Happy 18th Shanice!

I'm ill again and have college and some looking after duties to do this week so I don't really see much coming out of this week, how rubbish! I hope everyone had a good week and enjoys the next one!

Thanks for reading...if you did!

My week #4

So much for Sunday blog posts. oops, but this weekend was pretttty busy and I was so tired yesterday!!

Yet again all my photos are from the weekend, rather than the week (I think that sums up college to be honest; boring and unphoto worthy.) This weekend was a weekend which I'd been looking forward to for MONTHS; McFly's 10th anniversary show at The Royal Albert Hall, London!! As a massive McFly from, for the past ten years, I was incredibly excited! 

Me and 4 of my closest friends made the 5 hour trip down to London just for the gig and lets just say, before I end up writing a million word rant about the gig, was perfect! Defiantly one of the greatest nights of my life! Not only did I get to see my favourite band with some of my favourite people, but I also got to witness a Busted reunion on stage with 2/3 playing on stage with McFly! And call me soft but quite a few tears were shed! 

When then made the car journey back up North and ended up crawling into bed for around 5 hours before getting up, ready for the day and work; safe to say I was knackered yesterday. But it was alllll worth it!

Basically that has been my whole week; just one big excitement for the concert! This week is extra busy too; with two 18th birthdays, fancy dress party, some other celebrations and college! 

I hope everyone had a good week last week and I hope this week is just as good; if not better!

Thanks for reading!

My week #3

This weeks little week update is pretty short and all the pictures are from the same night; oops! I've had a super busy week and I've been ill for the most of it so I didn't really take many pictures!

The pictures which I did take this week were all at a close friends 18th birthday celebrations! The top right picture is with the birthday girl and it was a fab evening with some of my close friends and new friends; even if a little bit too much was drank! The two pictures on the right are my two favourite pictures from the night and the left is the little outfit which I threw together pretty much an hour before the party, haha I always leave things till last minute!

I hope everyone had a good week! Thanks for reading!

My week #2

So as expected college got in the way this week. I didn't even do a full week(only three days) and I still had no time! I have however got my timetable but I'm still going to stick to these weekly picture posts until I know exactly how much work I have to do and I know when I have time to blog; plus I'm slightly low on blog ideas too!

This week was mainly based in college, doing awkward ice breakers, team building exercises and UCAS. Nothing really interesting happened! Although on my two days off this week I headed shopping with some friends, which was very successful and had a cute spontaneous walk/drive through Blackpool Illuminations. As someone who's grown up in Blackpool I'm still confused about the whole 'lets holiday in/visit Blackpool' thing; it's rather rubbish.

Yeah so my whole week was basically college and work; my to do list just sums up how much I had to do really. Of course though, I ate very well during the week; even if it was slightly unhealthy.

I hope everyone had a nice week! This next week should be pretty fun with it being 2 of my closest friends 18th's (The first two of 5 18th's I have this month!!) I'm quite excited! But it is my first full week back at college and on lessoned timetables for 8 weeks, so I can already tell I'm going to be knackered.

Week update

So I've only got 5 more days till its back to early mornings and college days! With me not knowing how my timetables going to look and how busy I'm going to be yet I thought I might start just doing a weekly update post with pictures and things about my week, rather than other types of posts until I get used to a new timetable!

I thought I'd just do a little introduction post to it and post my first week update on Sunday this week; as a little practice; plus I haven't done a post about my holidays in a while!

I'm leaving for York in a few hours with my mum for a few days away, shopping and university visiting. I always love shopping trips and visiting different places; especially with my mum! So that should be fun and I'm sure will be included in my week in pictures on Sunday!

Let me know any other blog suggestions(little or big type posts I could do); they'd be much appreciated!
Hope everyone has a lovely week and enjoys the last bit of freedom before work/school/college/university!

A month ago?!

Its been nearly a whole month since I last posted...I'm rubbish.
But I have been quite busy so I suppose that's going to be my awful excuse.

I don't even have much to say, all I know is I'm bloody tired from working. But the next week or so are looking pretty good so I'm quite excited!

But let's see if we can get back into this Blogging business!
