What a night this was! Heading home after a ten hour shift, to get myself dolled up and head out to the celebratory evening to support Craigmount High School's pipeband. The evening was held at the Capital Hotel in Edinburgh, and I have to say that the suite the event was being held in was lovely. They had gone all out on the decorations, for example they had lovely fairy lights and stunning candelabras in the centre of every table to putting blue sash on the chairs. I think in total there was about 80-90 people there to support the band, and with that amount of people, the members of the hotel provided a lovely three course meal plus tea and coffees to finish. The starter consisted of roast duck with brioche toast served with red current jelly, and it was lovely. The main course was chicken breast stuffed with haggis, sautéed potato, carrots, green beans wrapped in bacon with a whiskey jus on the side... (Yum). As for the pudding? Well, it was sticky toffee puddi...

Happy New Year! I have to say now that looking back on 2015, it was quite a year for me. From finishing school in June, to turning 18, then getting my first job! The year honestly flew by without noticing it. Turns out, the first year of "adult life" has been a challenge on occasions but overall, I think I'm going to get the hang of it. But as it has changed into 2016, I think now is the best time to think about change. Whether these changes be in my lifestyle, habits or in employment or job/education who knows... But more focus is needed. Now I know that throughout some stage in our lives, we have all been through that "I'm going to get super fit and healthy because it's a new year" however, we all know how long that lasts! As it's a new year, I think I might actually try to stick to the changes that I plan on making (I'll hold myself to this!) Firstly, I think that one of the most important changes that is needing done is for...

Evening all,     How are you doing this fine evening?  Big apologies for not posting much on here, it has been very stressful since we last spoke! Family members being in hospital so the blog had to take a back seat. But I thought that I should probably give you an update as to what is going on in my life at the moment! First of all, I have finished school for ever! EEEK! I have to say that my last day was quite emotional, saying goodbye to the teachers I have seen everyday for six years turns out to be a real tear jerker! But I think that it was also the realisation that I'm not going to be in the safety of the school and that I'm being thrown out into the big bad world - UH OH! However, there is an upside to going out into the big bad world. I have recently applied to become an Au-Pair (like a nanny) working in Germany! This has been a very big decision for me to make as I'd be leaving all my family and friends at home (but only for a year and...
