Where will I be in 5 years time?

23 August 2014

This is a question I get asked quite a lot, even if I prefer not to be asked!

However, I’ve been thinking about it more recently. I mean my future is happening now; I’m not a kid anymore.

At the moment I’m living in Kingston which is half an hour from central London. As long as I can remember I have always wanted to live in London but for now I’m happy enough in Kingston. I would definitely want to live in or near Kingston in 5 years time.

I would also love to reach my goal weight (this will obviously happen( but also to maintain it. People will lose weight but will often gain more than they lost. So I want to be able to find the right balance to maintain my weight at a healthy level so I am not stuck in this position again.

This blog has become so important to me over the past couple of months (sorry, not sorry, that I keep going on about it). So, saying this, as it becomes more popular on a daily basis, it would be fantastic if I could make it something reasonably big. I’m already looking to invest more time into it and looking into getting a logo and better blog format. Are there any computer geniuses out there that could help a girl out? I’m really hoping to get it noticed a bit more, if you could share it with your family and friends I would really owe you one!

One other thing I’ve wanted to do for about 6 years now, but never had enough knowledge, ideas or a topic for it, is a recipe book. Now that I have managed to find my creative side, it seems like the right time to do it, or make a start at least.

The last thing of where I would like to be in 5 years time is having a flat or small house. Renting or buying isn’t really an issue. It is more the point of having my own space and being able to have it how I want it. I’ve mentioned before that I am crazy organised so I would really love to have an office space where I can have inspiration and motivation boards, shelves all neatly arranged with everything in folders and somewhere for all my stationary (I have a lot, it is practically everywhere).

Ok, so I know what you’re thinking, she hasn’t mentioned having a boyfriend, settling down and getting married. Sure it would be great if that happened but that will happen on its own and there is no need to rush that right now.


As for my career, I’m still weighing up options and I will have to keep you posted about that one.

My Plans

21 August 2014

My past few blog posts have been pretty boring (in my opinion anyway) so I thought I would “spice” it up a bit instead of writing you essays all the time.

So by the end of the year there are some places I want to go or things to take part in. A miscellaneous list really…

1. Good food show. I’ve been twice with the school before but I always felt like I hadn’t done it properly. I had a look at who would be there this year and I saw that Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry would be there, so I’m keen to go see one of their shows of them baking!



2. Go somewhere on my own. Just for a few days to explore on my own. I made a list of roughly 20 places I want to go and visit but I think I’ll start with Europe first and start saving my money for the places a bit further away.


I thought I'd start with Paris!

3. Head to the food markets in London. There are a fair few that I’ve found which I want to look at and wander around. I live so close and I just don’t take advantage of it enough.



4. Visit more friends at their Unis. I mean I get to see my friends and I get to visit a new city. Sorry Georgia, this does mean I’m coming to Nottingham too.

5. Make more of an effort to read newspapers and magazines. I’ve already started doing this but who can resist a magazine when they have such good free gifts?!




And lastly,
6. Shed some more weight. I lost roughly 3 lbs in a week or so, so now I’m going to keep going so I can lose more!


The first picture was me on holiday and the second only a few days ago. 

I figured, why should I wait till the new year to start, I should just start now!

What are your goals to accomplish by the end of the year?
