Confessions of a Pinterest Addict

Yes ok I admit it i am obsessed with Pinterest and if you think I'm weird I challenge you to go on the website, create a few boards of an interest (your choice on the theme) and not go back and create more and I guarantee you won't be able to help yourself.I have been using it to inspire me in decorating my flat with cheap, easy, DIY things. This week I created a christmas decoration on the cheap simply by gluing festive scrapbook paper to cardboard letters with PVA glue. I'm so happy with them and think they look really effective, I chose to spell out Noel as it was festive but not to long a word that it took to much time. 

My other Pinterest board that is starting to take a bit more flight is the recipes board. I am no Domestic Goddess by any means but I am a good eater, almost anything, however the other half of me is incredibly fussy and would quite happily eat the same meals week in week out which I am now finding tiresome. Pinterest helped us to discover our cheese risotto recipe which is now a staple in our house, Dave even calls it my signature dish! Another gem though not quite as good as the risotto is a chicken and bacon pie, I will be posting these recipes soon to share and any more we find along the way - we have had a few disasters along the way to (don't mention the Bolognese Pasta bake - it didn't go well!)

New Glasses 

Sadly life isn't all about Pinterest, work is going well and is incredibly busy especially for this time of year when things do tend to quieten down but I do have a lovely bit of time off for Christmas which I am looking forward to! I've never mentioned in my blog but i have for almost a year suffered with Migraines, I have been on prescription medication but the best thing that helps me is a herbal remedy from Holland and Barratt called a Migrastick. Last week I went to have my eyes tested to see if that might be causing the problems and I have been giving glasses to wear while I am using a screen. I really didn't think glasses would suit me but I went to Barnaby's Opticians in Bournemouth and they were amazingly helpful, I've posted a photo, what do you think? 

The other big event this week was my 2 year anniversary with Dave! These 2 years have flown by and I am more in love with him  now than ever!! He really spoilt me with dinner and presents which consisted of a Pandora charm for my bracelet and some boots which I love! I can't wait to this time next year when we are celebrating 3 years!
