Random thoughts #laziness

Good (insert time of day while reading this) to you, obviously my title has been quite misleading  thinking you would now be reading an interesting, perhaps even funny post and you will not be reading such a thing. You are now however committed to reading it and I am trusting you to carry on reading past this point so no clicking off now!

Every now and then I will have the odd silent moment to myself where I have the chance to think about really random things/situations so I am now going to fill this post with as many random things that I can think of that I have thought to myself about.

* What would it be like to be the pope? It's common knowledge with the people that know me, I would love to be the pope.. I literally don't fully know why, all I know is that of all the people/roles in the world I would love to be the pope. I genuinely think it would be great to drive about in the pope mobile for the day!

* it's so weird that when things get sent to the queen for her royal ascent, she never says no because if so many people want it (enough for the paper to be sent to her) then who is she to deny it. My law teacher even says she wouldn't even say no if it was to get rid of the monarchy - I would personally say no if I was the queen but each to their own.

*Speaking of the queen, what does she think about, what does she really love doing, does she enjoy reading, does she knit? I bet she loves a good crossword or a sudoku. Also, has she ever changed any of the royal babies nappies or even anything of the sort.

*Who decided words are words and that they mean the things they mean. Like who decided to call the thing we sit on a chair, its mad!

*What do dogs actually think about? They have such chilled lives - what would my little cass say if she could speak to me? (Probably "get me a treat now")

*You know when someone is talking to you and they say 'is that OK?' what would they then do if you turned around and said 'well actually, no it's not OK' like honestly what would they do?

*What goes through peoples heads when they're so unnecessarily rude to other people? Don't get me wrong my skin is pretty thick, I can 100% take it from people but there's plenty of people that can't. Just an example is the other week I was at work and someone rang up and asked a question I physically couldn't answer, nor could anyone in the office (had they given me the chance to fully explain our process he may not have been so rude) but he ended the call by saying 'that's great that you cant answer my questions, thanks, bye.' there's just no need in it at all

*where do people that come up with horror stories get their imagination from, what actually possess' people to write such grim films.

It's been ages since I actually wrote something and for that I'm sorry, I just can never think of anything I want to write at all. It's so annoying, if you have any ideas or can think of anything that would be good, please let me know in the comments!

Strange things that are completely normal!

So a few days ago, I was thinking about some stuff and I realised there's so much that we do or that happens that's so normal but when you think about it, its actually so strange, so of course I decided to make a list of everything I thinks absolutely weird.

1. Words/Nouns - I think its so strange that people came up with names for things and words and just decided that that's what things were, how did we decide that, just as an example, elephants would be called elephants or that the word there would point out the direction/ or position of something. Plus, who decided that letters would look the way they do? Did  someone just say it and it stuck.. was there meetings on it? I don't know but i'd actually love to :')
2. Accents - On the subject of words, how is it that the place you grew up in determines the sound of your voice, I get now that it just a matter of children pick it up from the environment, but to start with, where did the accents come from, how is it that people from one end of England sound so different to people from the other en of England, its the exact same country! It actually does baffle me!
3. Milk - There are so many weird things about milk that I don't get. Why do we drink something that is produced to feed the young of other animals, who decided we should drink it or that it was safe for us to drink it and what were they doing when they made such a profound discovery?
4. Our body - When you think about it, like seriously think about it, our bodies are bloody mental, amazing but mental. First off, while we sit here, our bodies are pumping blood around, making antibodies, repairing cuts, even enabling me to write this and you to read this post - crazy right? Not just that but we also have one long uninterrupted tube going all the way through our body that takes our food, digests it, compresses it and then gets rid of it, now that is mad!
5. Superstition - I am a really superstitious person, I won't step on three drains with out saying 'black magic', I wont walk under a ladder, I won't cross on the stairs without my fingers crossed and it's the same for walking under sign posts and scaffolding. To some it might be weird but I do it without even a second thought, it's almost like breathing to me.
6.  The Earth - No matter where you are in the world, we will see the exact same sun, moon and stars as everyone else, we have a huge, huge planet but we still see the exact same things, that's crazy if you ask me. Not only that but the earth is so magic, it has it's own little system just to keep everything here alive, us, animals, plants... it's just like a giant ball of life giving gas and rock!

This post took a lot of thinking, but when you do think about it, there is so much stuff that if you just give it a tiny thought, you'll find weird too. If there are any points you agree with or even things you find really weird.. just leave it in the comments below, I'd love to hear some more weird things. Thanks for reading,

Short girl problems - from my point of view!

As a member of the vertically challenged community I am prone to many a problem. Some people might get offended when they get asked their age when they buy a 12 rated film but not me, I have developed a great sense of humour about the whole thing so what better to do than compile a list of all the problems that I come across on a regular basis because of my height!

1. If I want something from the top shelf in the cupboard or a pan down from the shelf on the wall, you can bet that I'm climbing on something to get them. Trust me my calf muscles are great because of it!
2. I am automatically an arm rest for anyone that decides to utilise that. When I was an altar girl at church I even became a bible rest for the vicar - love ya father haz!
3. I constantly walk into the door handle with the top of my arm and it literally feels like I've been shot every time!
4. When it rains (good old british weather), I always have to move my umbrella to a side when I walk past others, just so that I don't take someones eye out with it. 
5. I'm forever being asked to prove my age, not just when I'm buying alcohol either, I've been asked for my ID for buying energy drinks, 12 rated DVDs, 15 rated films at the cinema, you name it, if it has an age restriction I've been asked for it!
6. When I get a photo with one of my friends, they have to bend down so we can both be in it, or the person taking it needs to be really far away! 
7. Unless I am in the 4 foot part of the pool, I'll be getting the best exercise ever because I'm doing my best to keep afloat
8. Unless they're 3/4 length, my jeans/leggings and such will be rolled up, there is no chance that I'll wear them at there normal length because I think it makes me look even shorter than I am. 
9. On the topic of clothes, a lot of clothes for someone my body shape aren't always tailored to my body length (unless in the petite section of course) and this means that I end up with cloves that look way too long on me!
10. Mirrors for people of average height are always a problem for me too, I have to tiptoe just to see more than my forehead, it's like am I a vampire cause I have no reflection? Nah Im just 4'11. 
11. On the same kind of wavelength, the counters at the pizza shop are ridiculous too, I can only just about see to order my kids pizza special!
12. I always get the most shocked look in the world when I tell adults my age, followed by them asking my mum 'is she really? I thought she was 14!' legit every time!
13. More than once, I've been asked whether I was stood up or not, mostly in the science lab though!
14. I can very rarely crop a photo of me and someone else well because the height difference is too much, it is ridiculous:')
15. Saving the worst problem for last, I haaaate taller people in crowds, or anywhere in front of me when I want to see! It just as bad at the cinema too, I swear im one more giraffe away from pouring drinks on the seats in front of me so no one can sit there!!!

I know I sound really whingy but there are just as many perks to being short as there are cons! For one you use a lot less fake tan when you need to tan your full body, you can sneak up on people miles easier, leg room is rarely an issue,on any vehicle, you can buy shoes from the junior section, I actually love being short, no lie!

IM BAAACK!!!

*Plays eminem in the background on repeat whilst writing*

Ok, so first things first, I'm so sorry I havent blogged in ages but don't worry, I assure you that I have been the busiest of bees recently and all will become clear!

Since the last time I wrote anything I would 100% LOVE to say that I've done all this amazing stuff but really it's been pretty slow. I guess I should start with I got a job (not too slow) I am now an apprentice at a commercial property consultants company and I love it! The people I work with are great and the job its self isn't awful.

As my job is an apprenticeship, I do still have coursework to do which means I'll still be busy after work. This shouldn't affect my blog though, I just thought I'd mention it in case it ever does.
       On the subject of posts, I actually did go through a stage where I really wanted to plan all of my posts and, not kidding, I got all the way to the end of this month so there are a loooot of posts to look forward to which I will get on with ASAP!

I think that's it for now,  I'll probably start writing tomorrow maybe and I'll upload them as I finish them so yeah,

Memory Lane Monday!

In the last few weeks of year 11 like most people in the same year around the UK - I had a leavers book for everyone to sign (like a year book but better). I didn't fill the book so I decided I'd write a letter to myself in the future. It's been about 3/4 years since writing it and I decided I'd type it up and see what's changed since then (it's a lot). I think it's quite cringey but it's a nice thing to do because looking back at it, it helps me remember everything both before and around that time.

Dear Hayley, 

Right now you're 15, 16 soon!! It's the 2nd of june and yesterday you left school and cried for an hour literally 'probably more though'. You've just read through your leavers book and cried again. Today your listening to the radio which makes a change because you're always watching some crap on TV 'no change there then'. You go to NCS soon and your really excited because it's with your bestfriend nicole 'after a huge argument (entirely my fault) and a year of not talking we're not bestfriends anymore but we're still friends. NCS was extremely good though'. Well you did it, you survived secondary school, one thats filled with idiots and bullies.. obviously ignorance is bliss 'told you it was cringy'. 

When you're older you want: 

♥An old pink mini 'Changed to a new mint green soft top mini'

♥two children, a girl called Liberty-Skye and a boy called Niall 'Still true - I wonder where I got the boys name from'  

♥a job in the police force 'cause you're offit'. 'Now I just want a job in admin'

Right now, your hair is ginger, you've been:

♥Brown

♥Browny-red

♥red

♥purple

♥Black 'I can now add blonde to that'

and you've dip dyed it twice three times now! You're really scared for college and your probably reading this thinking 'wtf.. it was a doddle!' 'not quite hayley, not quite' I don't doubt it was but you're pooing yourself for it now anyway! Last night was good at the leavers campout, it was hilarious Jane* shouting at everyone for being half seshes and then she went at like 10. You, col, liam, char and jamie stayed til midnight cause you's are offit. Ash and Neil* stayed all night bless them. The fire was nice too, you don't like Neil because he called you fat.. your not arsed anymore but you still don't like him. Oh god, the leavers assembly was cute as, there were a tonne of old photos that you didn't even remember being taken. The photo of Mr Miller made you and Holl cry the most cause it was just him. Shocking that he still isn't back isn't it, well he might be when your reading this. 'Sadly Mr miller isnt back and will not be back ever - he was sacked and more and more teachers have left' All I know is the best teacher you've ever had, all his little stories and everything!

Everyones written in here about your happiness and your always doing your best to smile when youd rather not . You'd be weird without your smile by the sounds of it! OMG your braces, I assume you'll have them off by now? Are they nice, are you looking after your teeth properly now? You can't wait to see! 'they are off but not in the conventional way (I took them off myself because im terrified of the orthadontist)'

You can be such a freak, do you know that? If you read some of the messages in here like the people you're close to, their hilarious! You were a stalker, an alcho, a fattie and a genuine weirdo! I hope you havent changed, here's all your favourite things: 

Colours - 

♥Reddy-Pink

♥Purple

♥Bluey Green 'All still true'

Films -

♥Starstruck

♥Diary of a Wimpy Kid

♥any Harry Potter

♥Cat in the Hat

♥John Tucker Must Die

♥4321

♥Mean Girls

♥Step Brothers

♥Catch me if you can 'I haven't watched half of these in ages, starstruck is still my fave though'

food - 

♥Ready Salted Crisps

♥McDonalds

♥tomatoes

♥Spag Bol

♥Pizza

♥Freddos

♥Poptarts 'All still true'

books - 

♥Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging 1-7

♥ All Harry Potters

♥True Story books

♥the twilight saga 'I now love tfios and if I stay too and tonnes more but im not sure'

Aw Hayley, I hope you've done well in school/college and go far 'I'd say I did well, I passed everything and got into uni.. I just didn't go'! In case you forget how offit you were, here is a picture to show you! At Teeside Uni, people were asked to do an experiment so you (thinking others from your school would) shot your hand up, turns out it was just you and creeps from teeside high, well done midge! Good luck and stay offit!

The photo mentioned

Wow what a long bloody letter that was! in case you're wondering, the names jane and neil are names that have been changed because I don't think I should keep their real names in but every one elses are real! also if you cant tell, the bits in the letter that arent in italics are me now so I've annotated it sort of. Like I said, its a really nice thing to do if like me you really like to hold onto memories, if your in your last year of school I definitely suggest you write a little letter to yourself for a few years time it's like a non-buried time capsule.   

Im thinking of doing more 'memory lane monday' posts so if you have any ideas they would be more than welcome. I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy writing them, I mean I don't mind if you don't, I'm mainly writing them for me anyway but, it'd be v nice if more than just myself enjoyed reading them.

My ideal (Unrealistic fantasy) valentines day!

As you may know valentines day is right around the corner and because I'm single I wont be doing anything for it (completely not bothered though..). Just because I'm not doing anything, it doesn't stop me having ideas for what I'd like to do on valentines day and oh boy do I have a big imagination. 

Okay so first off I'd like to wake up to breakfast in bed inc. eggs, bacon, pancakes.. the works! You might be thinking what's so unrealistic about that.. well I should add I'd like this to be in Paris (or Venice.. I'm not fussy) with an amazing view from my window.  After we've ate we'll go for a walk along a river and have a picnic and it will be lovely. We'll go to dinner in a nice restaurant where I'll be told that the next day we'll be going to disney land paris or for a gondola ride (is ride the right word). I can't think of anything else that is both unrealistic and that I would want but yeah there you go. 

Now jokes aside I would literally be happy with a nice day at home.. I'd still want breakfast in bed but we'd both make it and then jump back into bed and eat it watching something on tv. Other than that there's nothing I wouldn't be happy with on valentines day (other than being left on my own or being actually left). We could do some baking together or go to the cinemas. Without sounding like 'that girl' who pretends downplay everything by saying they'd be happier with like a McDonald's or whatever.. I would genuinely love to go to a cafe  like a 'greasy spoon' (not as disgusting as it sounds) their my favourite type of cafe and type of place to eat. 

So yeah, that is both my unrealistic and realistic valentines day. Just to reiterate the first one is entirely unrealistic, I wouldn't expect any of that on valentines day. On previous valentines, I've gone for a meal with friends or spent the night watching films again with friends. You don't have to have a boyfriend on valentines day you can share the love with anyone!

My Favourite Youtubers

About two years ago I was sucked into the world of YouTube/YouTubers and since then I've subscribed to 129 YouTube Channels - 43 of which are youtubers I watch religiously (not including vlog channels) so I decided I would make a list of my absolute favourite creators who's uploads I never want to miss.

The List (In no order)+ My Favourite Video of theirs:

1. Zoella - Meet My Best Friend 
2. Sprinkle of Glitter - Prank Calls With Dan Howell
3. Tyler Oakley - What I Learned from Pickle Juice
4. Thatcher Joe - Ultimate Roommate Revenge Pranks 
5. VelvetGh0st - Ikea Homeware Haul
6. Caspar Lee - Bad Christmas Movie by Caspar Lee
7. Jake Boys - What's in my bag
8. Samkingftw - How to speak southern
9. Adam Waithe - Types of Siblings 
10. The Janoskians - A day in the life of a dysfunctional family 
11. Sam Pottorff - Birthday Sex! | Jake Boys 
12. Jonah Green - Me in the last 12 months 

There are some other really good youtubers that aren't quite my favourites but I still love watching like, Lauren Elizabeth, Arden Rose, Connor Franta, JC Caylen, Danisnotonfire, nikinsammy and there are tonnes more and I can't think at the moment but yeah, their great.

I think if your familiar with youtubers you'll know most of these but if there are any that you don't know then please watch the video I linked because I would like them all to be appreciated as much as I appreciate them! I've also just realised the past few posts have been about favourites so next week will definitely be different and maybe a bit love themed?

January Favourites

So this is a new thing huh? I thought that as it's a new year I should introduce something new to my blog and what better than a monthly favourites! I intend to do these on the last Monday of each month so yeah here we are! 

As it's January, a lot/most of the things I've loved were Christmas presents so yeah - just thought I'd let you know.

The first thing I've been loving this month is my Gavin and Stacey box set - I mentioned my love for Gavin and Stacey in my last post and for Christmas just gone Hollie (my best friend) got me the box set and I can tell you, it's barely left my DVD player! It's literally my favourite thing and I watch it so much I could almost recite it word for word (not an exaggeration at all). 

The next thing is a bag I bought from Primark. First off I'd like to say I bought it in December but I mean I have loved it throughout January so it still counts as a January favourite right? Any way I had been wanting a bag like this for a while and when I saw this one for £10 I couldn't resist, it's like a Mary Poppins bag, it fits everything in and goes with anything - except joggers of course!

This has probably been my most favourite thing ever this month - my portable charger! This was a Christmas present which was to go with my tablet but I've used it for my phone. It's so handy, you just charge it up and it gives you about 3 full charges from one charge. I keep it in my bag wherever I go and that way my phone is never dead. I seriously recommend you investing in one if you can't live without your phone or ipod or anything, its just amazing!

As it's been extremely cold, I have been loving moisturiser. Not just any moisturiser - the soap and glory 'hand food' moisturiser. I don't have much to say about the smell but when a product works as good as this.. who cares what it smells like? Well I actually do but it works wonders so it's cool!

On a similar note my lips have been getting extremely chapped whether it's from the gym (is that weird) or just the cold idk they've been bad. I got the carmex lip balm like the liquidy one in a squeezy tube (10/10 for description) and it's been so good like moisturising and helpful. I have the strawberry one and the cherry one and they taste so nice so yeah!

Another thing that I have been loving is Pretty Little Liars now you might be thinking but thats been on ages and you would be right in thinking that BUT it came back for the second half of the fifth season this month and I wont give anything away because spoilers but it has been AMAZING!

The last thing I know I loved is my new Oxford 'project book' I wanted to be more productive and organized with my blog so I bought this and usually I don't geek out about a notebook but I swear the paper is the best quality paper ever and it's just so nice to write on, if your revising for your exams and you don't have one of these, I disapprove severely!

So I think that's it this month for things I've loved, I hope you liked it.. thank you for reading - let me know in the comments if there's anything you've been loving this month :)

My Favourite TV Shows!

So while deciding what to do for this weeks post I was flicking through the TV guide and couldn't find anything I wanted to watch, which got me thinking.. what even are my favourite shows? As I thought about it, I decided I'd do a post on it and share my favourite shows! I think most of them are shown worldwide too so I assume you'll have heard of most of them. 

     (These aren't in any order, just as they came up)

• Pretty little liars - Okay so this just had to come first! What isn't to love about a group of teenage girls being put through their paces by an anonymous texter with murders and secrets galore? I was both late and early to the PLL Party (bearing in mind it's not shown in britain) because I read the books when I'd first heard of the show in like 2011 and became obsessed, then I started watching the shows and got to the third season and stopped and then I didn't pick it back up until just before the 5th season ended for its break. I love how different it is to the books as well because having read them I thought I'd know who A was and everything else that happened but I don't have a clue like I still think it could be anyone! If you love this show let me know and we can have discussions in the comments on our theories, I only know one person who watches it and that's Hollie, and she's not caught up yet and I can't spoil it for her:')!

• Hollyoaks - This is a British soap and I absolutely love it! It's about a village in England called (would you believe it) Hollyoaks. It's such a diverse show and there are multiple story lines going on and because the cast is so big there is never a dull moment. I don't think I could live in Hollyoaks though cause I'd be to terrified of Trevor!

• Gavin and Stacey - This again is a British show but I believe there's an american version called 'us and them'. This is honestly one of the funniest shows ever, I'm so sad that there's only three seasons but it really does get you laughing. It's about a couple that are online dating and they meet up and have this huge whirlwind romance. There's more to it than that but if you haven't guessed I'm awful at descriptions.

• Made in Chelsea - Again sorry this is a British show. It's sort of a reality show but there is like 'set-up' scenes. It's about people from Chelsea which is an area of London. There's always some sort of drama going on which makes it hilarious to watch, not many people I know actually like this show though.

• American Horror Story - So I'm still not sure whether I like the show or if I'm just drawn to it cause I want to see what happens but either way I can't take my eyes off it. I'm only up to coven at the moment but I think its just a great show, I love the how the majority of the cast stays the same and are in each series. Up to now though 'Murder House' is my favourite series, I love evan peters' character 'Tate' and just the whole mystery of the house and how every episode it starts with something about the previous owners and their murder.. it's crazy!

• Total Divas - Oh my god, Hollie recently got me into this one. She has loved wrestling since she was tiny and she'd have it on every now and then and I used to just go to sleep but I started getting into it and then one night I was staying round hers and it was the night of wrestlemania and I was glued to the screen! Hollie was so happy I'd got into it and showed me total divas which is a reality show about the divas (female wrestlers) it's just so good I can't even describe it!!

I don't know if that was more or less than I expected but I think there's enough there.. If you like any of the shows tell me and we'll have discussions because yeah, why not.. (Especially with PLL though, I want to hear more theories). 

Before I end the post by the way, I hit 100 followers on bloglovin which I know is a small amount compared to other blogs and stuff but 100 people is 100 people, it's just a lot of people OKAY? But anyway thank you for helping me even get this far and for putting up with my ramblings whether you followed me yesterday or in September when I first started!

Don't worry.. Be Happy

I worry - A LOT and I wish I didn't and it probably wont even change but maybe having a written down example as to why I shouldn't worry will give me a sort of tangible reminder that it (the worrying thing) can be fine!

So last Wednesday I had a job interview and it was extremely important to me because it's a job I really want. After applying I had to wait over 3 weeks for a reply and as it was my second time applying for the role (different recruiting schemes) I wasn't optimistic at all but I was overjoyed when I saw I had an interview. 
      I decided (even though this was in November) that I wanted to be interviewed in January as it'd give me time to acclimatise and be prepared. It did work, I felt fully confident I knew what to do in the interview. On Wednesday I was going shopping with Hollie (I've mentioned her before) and we made it back a little late. I didn't panic too much because it wasn't too far away, I then looked at my confirmation email to check what I needed to take and found that I was supposed to attend 30 minutes before the interview.. queue a major panic! 
      I met Holl at the bus stop and cried my eyes out, I was so scared that I wouldn't be interviewed because of how late I was.. by the time I got there I was about an hour late including the turning up half an hour early. To calm me down Holl decided we'd be best off walking to another bus stop that was further away and all the while she was saying so much encouraging things ('you'll be fine, loads of people turn up late', 'they're not gonna say you can't be interviewed.. they'll probably be happier you came at all rather than leaving it') but in my head it just wasn't working, I wasn't able to calm down until I got there! 
      When I eventually made it there wasn't a single thing to worry about, the security guard confirmed everything holl was saying, apparently everyone had turned up late! The interview turned out to be the best interview I could've had, one of the interviewers was a slightly older version of me, the other interviewer was dumbstruck because of it! 

The whole point of that story is that if I hadn't gone, if I didn't have my bestfriend calming me down I would have worried myself to a point of going home and regretting it for the rest of my life! Im certainly a 'when the going gets tough - the tough get going' kind of girl and I think I may always be and I don't know why.. I just really need to change it because one day I wont have people that will calm me down and I will just end up quitting and leaving it. 

The moral of this post is: You'll never know unless you try.. don't just leave something without even giving it a go because you could end up seriously regretting it! 

The other moral is: when your bestfriend tells you it'll be fine.. listen cause shes probably right!P.S. if your reading this holl, thank you so much, I honestly don't think I'd have gone if it hadn't been for you re-assuring me and convincing me it'd be fine, I cannot thank you enough, Love you!

So yeah, this was just to show that if you just try you never know what  could happen, I am for sure glad I tried and im sure you all will be!

Good bye 2014.. Hello 2015!

Now I can't exactly say this year has been a bad one because it has been full of amazing experiences and I have no regrets but at the same time I am ready to welcome 2015 with open arms, WIDE open arms. I've decided to do a recap of 2014 because not only is it nice to think over all the times I had this year, but I can share it with you guys because I started my blog over halfway through the year so yeah! Having thought about it I don't want to share the lows but just know there were some! 

2014

• University offers - So I got offers for the universities I really wanted to go to, and even though I didn't go to university I'm still happy I got those offers. To me it meant that they thought I was potentially good enough to go to the universities. Whether that's something that would give others comfort I don't know but it makes me happy! (Similarly I found out I had enough UCAS points to go to both my choices of uni)
• Exam Results - So on the 14th of august like most 18 year olds in the UK I was waiting with bated breath to find out my exam results.. I was really happy with them because I had passed all of my exams, while I never got even close to an A (maybe not even a B) I was still happy because as hard as I worked I didn't think I'd have passed anything so to have passed I was just really happy!
• 18 - So this year is the year that all of my friends turned 18 (minus 1 who was already 18) and it meant there were lots of 18th birthday parties and then after I had turned 18 - great nights out! 
• My Blog - So obviously this is a good part of my year.. I started my blog and have now been writing it for 4 months (and a bit) so Im still relatively new but I'm amazed at how far its come already.. I'm not too far off of 100 followers which to me in 4 months is great!

So this has been the main highlights of my 2014 and I mean the big things (my memory isn't the best so there are tonnes more that I can't think of) but I hope you all had a great 2014 and that 2015 is just as good if not better!

As a little footnote I'd like to add that in 2015 I would like my readers (while few.. I know you exist!) to interact more.. I would love for more readers to be leaving comments and things purely to put a name to a number! To try and kick start this I would like you to leave in the comments - what you enjoyed about 2014.. or your new years resolutions. Also don't be afraid of self promotion, if you have a blog leave me the link.. I'm always looking for more blogs to read!
