Burnt Toast

I've decided to go for the name 'Burnt Toast' for my blog. 'Life lessons and cheesecake' is just too cheesy and lighthearted for a girl like me.



I know - I'm just not the girl you thought I was..... ;) haha.



Burnt Toast I think is pretty fitting. No matter how hard you try, things can go wrong. But I actually love burnt toast, so sometimes its for the best.

Thanks to everybody who reads this by the way:) it really makes my day! x

Running In The Rain and Blog Suggestions

I was very surprised to find that Jo (who has recently split up with her boyfriend, and is usually very emotional afterwards) was totally fine mood-wise. In fact she didn't cry once on our full run, I'm so happy that she's handling it so well. It was so dark because there's no lamposts along the coast (!) and bloody freezing as we had to stop every 20 seconds for Jo to catch her breath. We were soaking off all the rain so it was quite funny coming home and sitting on black sacks.

Anyhoo, I've decided to do a blog on every suggestion I get, no matter how ridiculous/personal. I'm also taking some from friends etc. so if you feel like it comment and in time I'll do it 0:)
So far I've been asked to do these:

1. Make a photoblog of my day (from Beth)
2. A blog on whats in my bag with a description...that should be interesting haha
3. Discuss the contraception I use and why
4. Describe your top three favourite books

That's not really too bad at all, so if you want to challenge me go for it.
Look forward to hearing them x x x

Hiya,
Todays blog is going to be about Valentines day so if you're on the verge of pushing the next happy couple you see down the stairs I suggest you stop reading!

I had a lovely Valentines day with my boyfriend, Steven, although I never expected to as I've been fighting alot with my parents lately and it was really getting me down. I was curling my hair, trying really hard not to cry and he just totally turned my mood around. He'd bought candles to make it seem romantic, ordered out a film, wrote some lovely things in my card, made me a prawn salad and lovely roast meal and we had strawberries to dip into chocolate afterwoulds. Everything was perfect and even though Valentines is so horribly commercialised it made me appreciate how lovely he really is. We also made his Dad a meal too as he's alone this Valentines (sadly his wife died of cancer a few years ago) and I'm really glad we did as it must be so shit for those who have broken hearts. It's so easy to get carried away in your own happiness to appreciate what others are going through.

My biggest worry at the moment is deciding what University to apply for. How miniscule is that in comparison? It's still stressing me out though. I got offers for every course and Uni that I applied to although I didn't think I would. I can't decide between the two; one I felt totally comfortable at, it's a good university and I liked the course (English and History Dual). The other Uni is by far more respectable, I'd be more likely to get a job but I'd have to do a summer course, take on an extra subject as they do their combined subjects in threes (English, History and Politics) and it didn't feel as comfortable. I'm fighting between sense and heart, I know I should give myself the best education, but I did that before with Sixth Form and I hated it. What to do? I'm hoping time will be on my side and make it a more clear decision.

My boyfriend has also decided to apply for University on a Building Surveying course as he was recently made redundant and it's proving literally impossible. He was one year shy of the full qualification of third year, but hopefully the second year will be enough to let him on. He has one university choice, one course, and I can't help but feel jealous of his clear cut decision. I wish I had a time machine to see in the future if I took one route to another, sort of sliding doors style. I've been so stressed I bought a beautiful purple dress (it was in a sale for £12! Yayy) to make me happy and I've been eating so much I've went from being underweight to the brink of overweight. I'm literally two pounds off! How on earth did this happen? I'm going to blame the implant I recently had (ok ok, maybe my cake eating) but I want to get it taken out anyway as it's giving me bad skin and I'm on my periods constantly which is proving difficult in relationship-wise. I'll let you know how that goes.

Oh yes, I got my first follower recently! Thanks so much I feel very happy and honoured, like I've won a good award it means so much to me, it really made my day.. I was thinking that I didn't want to scare them off, but had no idea of knowing what they liked didn't like. I was on somebodys blog and they actually had this ticky-box thing after every blog which said 'More of this' or 'Less of this'. How fab! Could anyone tell me where to find such a tool on blogging? x
