New Year's Resolutions.

So, one of my new year's resolutions was to post on here more - not done so well at that so far, oops! 

2012 is a very exciting year for me and my OH, we are getting married! 31st March to be exact, so not that long to go. Everything is pretty much sorted, just little bits and pieces left to get, like some sprinkles for the tables and that kind of thing. 

In the meantime, whilst counting down to the big day, we are still watching the pennies and trying to make things stretch as far as possible. I am now unemployed, but I'm hoping that that will change sooner rather than later. We are also moving house in February! So I've got to factor in all that as well. Busy busy busy. 

And, a photo to finish, my lunch today:

Tuna salad with a sliced pitta bread, with green tea. 

Another one of my resolutions is not to lose weight, but to try and stay as healthy as possible. I'm working really hard on that one....

Winter nights.

I haven't posted in ages; I never feel like I have anything to say. However, I only have 2 days left in employment so I will need to re-address everything in our current lifestyle, whilst I am searching for another job.

In other news, these are things I have eaten/made lately:

 

You cannot beat berries in vanilla yogurt. The simple things in life, and all that.

My first attempt at soda bread:

Pretty pleased with that result - we're having it with a sausage, chorizo and bean casserole for tea so I'm hoping it goes down well! 

And lastly, something to pop in OH's lunch box:

  

These are Hugh FW's energy booster bars

which include lots of seeds and dried fruit.

Keeping on plodding, at any rate!

November blues.

This is what I have eaten for lunch today, as I am at home ill. Got a horrible cold which has spread to my chest and I just can't stop coughing. I'll make an appointment at the doctors if it doesn't seem to be getting better soon.

Obsession.

I feeling that I am beginning to develop an obsession with cinnamon porridge.

Accompanied with green tea. 

I guess there could be worse things to be obsessed with.

It's been a while.

It's definitely been a while. I just never know what to write about, my life is not exciting.

Here's a picture of a recent attempt at pizza, homemade. (does anyone know why my baking tray has gone like that? it won't come off!) OH liked it.

Friday times.

I'm having one of those days today, where I feel totally fed up and down for no reason at all. Cue watching rubbish on the tv and generally not doing much. 

Picture of my lunch today; ham salad and a slightly naughty hot chocolate from a well know coffee chain. A little treat to myself :) 

Here's to the weekend.

holiday relaxation.

Me and OH have recently been on a holiday to Tunisia for a week, and it was lovely :) We certainly did a lot though! 

This was the view from our balcony. 

This was a preserved amphitheatre. 

Lots of rocky hills, where locals build their houses into the rocks. 

We went on a camel ride in the Sahara desert - here are the camels waiting. 

Waiting for the sun to rise about 5:30AM. 

The sunrise. 

We also went off roading in the desert which was amazing! 

Some of the sand dunes. 

Camels in the desert! 

And finally, some raccoons snoozing at a nearby zoo. 

We had a lovely time and it certainly feels cold in England as it was in the 40s every day.
