<p dir="ltr">I'm on a mission to get back to it, and hopefully have some collaborations, competitions, and lots of general randomness right here on my little old blog!</p>

<p dir="ltr">Wasn't October surprisingly cool?! Lots of autumnal walks, hot chocolate - because you have to when it's chilly! - days out in Wells, Clifton and Glastonbury, a late night walk in the woods for charity, a new Batman jumper, a spontaneous trip to Brighton, <a href="http://Choccywoccydoodah.com">Choccywoccydoodah </a>at Halloween (there's pics at the very bottom) and meeting my lovely Facebookland friends <a href="http:// http://lucyandthepigeon.wordpress.com">Lucy & Bex</a> in the real world!</p>
<p dir="ltr">There were lots of lovely cosy makes too - you lot definitely want to keep your tootsies warm this winter!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">And somehow we're now just weeks away from Christmas... This year's gone way too fast!!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Happy November lovelies!</p>

<p dir=ltr>Sorry I've been quiet (blog wise, everywhere else I've been causing my usual havoc!!) I've kind of been sat around doing nothing but also super busy... That doesn't even make sense!!! I've ramped up the day job hunting, its not as fun being sat around on your own once the sunshine's gone! My order book also reopened after a few months of pottering about, so although I've spent a lot of time on my ass in front of the tv, I've made looooooaaaaads of stuff.</p>
<p dir=ltr>So, just so that you don't forget all about me, here's some recent makes and work in progress pics...</p>

Here's the trick!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">You'll need:<br>
Nail varnish remover<br>
Cotton wool balls<br>
Tin foil<br>
Cuticle oil</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Cut ten strips of tin foil, at about six inches long by about an inch or so, and cut ten balls of cotton wool in half. </p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Soak a half ball in nail varnish remover, I prefer acetone free as its kinder, press against your nail, and wrap in tin foil. </p>
<p dir="ltr"> I do one hand at a time - although you can still fiddle with stuff its almost impossible to wrap the second hand with the first wrapped up, I'm impatient, I've tried!!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Leave for at least five minutes, more like ten if you've got a few coats on there.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. Slowly wriggle the little packets off of your fingers whilst rubbing at your nail.</p>
<p dir="ltr">5. Most of the nail varnish should have come off, and any odd bits should easily wipe off.</p>
<p dir="ltr">6. Wash your hands thoroughly, my skin around my nails is always really dry afterwards, that's where the cuticle oil comes in!</p>
<p dir="ltr">And Voila!! Glitter free nails with no picking, no nail damage, and no blooming glitter all over your lap!!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Love <br>

<p dir=ltr>This one seemed really quiet, and before I made my collages I couldn't really think of much that had happened... Turns out I've done quite a lot!!</p>
<p dir=ltr>This month I've been saving my pennies as much as possible - was the first month I had to dip in to my redundancy pay and like to save as much as possible - so I've spent quote a lot of time at home, crocheting (extra pennies!) and hanging out with the family. </p>
<p dir=ltr>I've been to car shows, motorbike meets, wool fairs, and craft fairs, and been for walks in the countryside and the woods. There's been a family wedding vow renewal, job interviews, and a few birthdays... Including mine yesterday!!</p>
<p dir=ltr>Most people go all sentimental and nostalgic at New Year, not me, I do it on my birthday, to me it seems more poinent, more personal, rather than just doing it because society says you should! Today I'm feeling really contemplative. This year's been crazy! My birthday last year wasn't great, there were a couple of glimpses of fun (Willy Wonka day was pretty amazing if you ignore the hassle leafing up to it, there were lovely breaks to Brighton and St Ives, and I went to a very cool Tom O'dell gig!) then Christmas came, it was alright, then nothing really happened until it all went tits up in April/May... Then I moved in to my beautiful flat, had another trip to Brighton, spent all summer chilling out in the sunshine, had a brief but wonderful series of encounters with a rather lovely young man, messed up said wonderful series of encounters, learnt from it, got my confidence back, and started the great career hunt... And now I'm 29!! Just crazy!!</p>
<p dir=ltr>What have I learnt? Not to settle for second best. To love and let others love me. To trust if it feels right. That if it feels right it probably is right. Not to fight with myself. To be proud. Not to care about those people that don't particularly care about me. And to enjoy life, no matter how bloody crappy it can be! </p>
<p dir=ltr>Bring it on October, and as for 29, you've got some making up to do after that bloody 28!!!</p>
<p dir=ltr>Love<br>

Sometimes life just gets all a bit too much! And that's fine! Its absolutely fine, in fact, its great to admit it, to be able to turn to those closest to you and let it all out...</p>
<p dir="ltr">But if you're like me you'll just push the people that care the most away, and in your time of need you'll find yourself surrounded by people that don't really get you, and it sucks!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm at a point where so much happened so quickly that I had no choice but to be strong, I pulled on my big girl panties and got on with life. I made the most of what could've been considered horrendous, I focused on the tiniest glimpses of anything positive, and just sorted crap out! But now, everything's levelled out, all the ugliness has gone, and I'm looking for opportunities.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The trouble is that now I don't have to be positive to get by I've found myself becoming reeeeeaaaaally quite pessimistic and miserable! I'm never down! I get angry or upset for a couple of hours maybe and then I'm over it, I move on, but for a while it seemed impossible!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Now I appear to be coming through the other side of my slump, I've started looking at things differently - who I do want in my life, who I don't, what I need to make me happy, who I need to make it up to after being a right cow for a bit, and how once I'm truly happy again I'm going to do everything I can to keep it that way!</p>
<p dir="ltr">I guess the outcome is... Scream!! Scream loudly about how you feel (its better out than in whether its good or bad, right?!) scream at those people who just won't sod off, scream about the amazing things in life in the hope that you might inspire someone, and don't hold back from telling people what you know you should.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There, I feel better for that!!</p>

Autumn has long been my favorite season, yes Summer's lovely, all of those barbeques and long warm evenings, and there's something so inviting about Spring with it's flowers popping up all over the place, and I'm the first to admit that waking up to a sunny yet snowy Winter's day is pretty awesome, but Autumn is just amazing!!</div>

Think about it, generally, in the UK at least, it's still warm-ish and mostly sunny. The dewy morning's are brilliant for waking you up on your way to work, and you can't beat playing in parks with all of the crunchy leaves underfoot!

<div style="text-align: center;">
As I haven't baked these myself (yet!!) I found this pics on Pinterest, along with other versions of the recipe, however, I've decided that the original recipe was my favorite because they're finished off with popping candy!!!! Yum!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This recipe's from <a href="http://www.jennycolgan.com/books/christmas-at-the-cupcake-cafe/" target="_blank">Christmas at the Christmas Cafe by Jenny Colgan</a> (her books are fab, and they have recipe's in them!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Ingredients for 12 large cupcakes:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
200g plain flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
250g golden caster sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 teaspoon baking powder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
pinch of salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 large egg</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
125ml buttermilk</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon vanilla essence</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
125g unsalted butter</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons cocoa powder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
175ml cola</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For frosting:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
400g icing sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
125g softened unsalted butter</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 1/2 tablespoons cola syrup (Soda Stream is recommended)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
40ml whole milk</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
popping candy</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
fizzy cola bottles, candied lemon slices, or candy canes to decorate </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Preheat oven to 180*c and line 12 hole muffin tin with cupcake cases</li>
<li>In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a seperate bowl, beat together the egg, buttermilk and vanilla</li>
<li>Melt the butter, cocoa, and cola in a saucepan over a low heat. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stir well, then add the buttermilk mixture, beating until the batter is well blended.</li>
<li>Pour into cupcake cases and bake for 15 minutes, or until risen. Set aside to cool.</li>
<li>To make the frosting, beat together the butter and icing sugar until there are no lumps. Stir the cola syrup and milk together in a jug, then pour into the butter and sugar mixture, whilst beating slowly. Whisk until light and fluffy, then add popping candy to taste. The popping candy will lose it's fizz after a while so they should be eaten straight away for full effect!</li>
<li>Ice cakes and add decorations! This is where I would personally add LOADS of popping candy!!!!!</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">

beautiful and personal cards that you just would not be able to find in a shop.</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.3em;">Grate the rind and squeeze the juice from one of the lemons and whisk in, then divide the mixture evenly between the two tins. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden and firm to the touch, and the cakes are starting to pull away from the sides of the tins. Turn out on to a wire rack, remove the baking paper and let them cool.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.3em;">Grate the zest from the second lemon. Beat the cream cheese and zest together, then beat in enough sifted icing sugar until it's light and spreadable. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.3em;">Sandwich the cakes together with a third of the mixture, adding a lovely dollop of lemon curd, then spread the rest of the cream cheese frosting on the topYou can also add sprinkles, lemon zest, sugar lemons, or anything else you fancy on top! Or you can shove all of the frosting in the middle of the sandwich, and dust icing sugar over the top - this is slightly less fussing, and easier if you're baking with kids!!</span></li>

It kicked off with a trip to Brighton, which involved loads of shopping, great food, amazing cocktails, and catching up with friends, it couldn't if been a better start to the month!<br>
Its also been a strange one as I've left my day job after almost eight years, but there's been lots of laughs, tears, cake, nights out, and love along the way... I've found out who my real friends are, had a cull of the ones that no longer deserved to be a part of my life, been on a few really lovely dates, spoilt myself, been spoilt by others, and just enjoyed all of the things that I LOVE about my life! A lot can be said about the kindness of others y'know!<br>
And lastly, I'm happy, truly happy, the sort of happy that makes you smile to yourself for no reason, and I like it! </p>
<p dir="ltr">Love<br>
Ms Bee<br>

The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy, I've now left the day job, which subsequently meant lots of partying, I'd been there for eight years, I had to!! And on top of that, there's been birthdays and christenings and I'm sure I've crammed more in than just that!</p>
<p dir=ltr>So, I'm making a pledge to not ignore my blog! I mean, the poor thing's done nothing at all to deserve being ignored after all!</p>
<p dir=ltr>There's a couple of Meet the Makers lined up, and I've been baking so I'll share the recipes with you guys too, so I'll be back soon, I promise!</p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
OK, so to start off you have to go to the <a href="http://www.visitbrighton.com/things-to-do/beach-life" target="_blank">beach</a>, I live in a seaside town and I still have to visit the beach!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than all of your usual seaside stuff, there's lovely shops, art galleries, nice bars, great restaurants, and all sorts of random stuff going on - this time when I was there there was a <a href="http://www.visitbrighton.com/whats-on/brightons-big-screen-p882841" target="_blank">big screen</a> on the beach showing loads of different things... I ended up there on Dirty Dancing night, was singing and dancing and everything!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, the pier's pretty cool! I don't normally do piers as there's one out of my window and it's always been just there, and all those noisy game things don't do it for me, but Brighton pier is definitely worth a visit, even if it's just to sit with an icecream!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Now, you have to go shopping whilst there, and you have to go to the absolutely freaking amazing <a href="http://www.choccywoccydoodah.com/" target="_blank">Choccywoccydoodah</a> when you need to rest your feet!!</div>

I'm not sure how this piece is going to pan out, and I don't think I'm going to ever read it back, but hopefully it might make you smile, it'll give you the reasons why my orders have been slower, why my order books have closed for a little while, and why I've needed lots of 'me' time, more than anything I hope that it'll help or inspire someone who's having a rough time of it, whether its right now or in ten years time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'll start at the beginning...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Once upon a time there was a slightly crazy girl who fell in love with an equally crazy boy. After a while they moved in together, and eventually the boy persuaded the girl that maybe, even though she'd never seen the point in getting married, having a wedding would cement everything. Along the way the girl decided that she couldn't imagine a life without him, that she'd do whatever it took, and follow him wherever he'd go, just to be happy. In a year they'd be married, ok, so the wedding wasn't going to be very weddingy but they'd be married nonetheless, and in two they'd probably have a kid, regardless of how scared this made the girl, the boy wanted them more than anything and the girl would do anything to make him happy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Then one day it was all over. The boy had gone and the girl was on her own, in a house she hated, that was full of both the happiest and most awful memories.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After a good week of being a mess the girl realised she had to man up and start getting shit done!...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sooo.... I'd easily spent a week crying, not eating, not sleeping and wandering about on autopilot looking horrendous. The best mate had given me a kick up the ass and I'd decided it was going to be all about me! Ok, so I was still going home and crying every night, and the mood swings were crazy even by my standards but I knew I had to get on with it! First up, I went shopping, stuff it, I was no longer saving for a wedding was I?! After that I blagged a couple of days off of work (bonus of all of those hours of TOIL I'd built up and said best mate being your supervisor!) I spent my long weekend pretty much on my own, so that I wouldn't have to talk about what was going on, so that nobody would ask how I was, I just shut myself away, watched whatever crap was on tv and ate junk food.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It was the best thing I could've done. Between the food, the sleep and the lack of sympathy I was starting to feel human. Then I had to cancel the wedding. That was hard. At one point I even googled how to! Thing is, there's loads of advice out there for booking one, but how the hell do you cancel it?! How do you tell the vicar, the suppliers, the lovely lady who's making your dream unwedding dress, the photographer who you'd become really friendly with... And then there's the telling family and friends... Truth is, you've just gotta get on with it! I cried, lots, I tried to type an email I could send to suppliers that weren't set in stone about twenty times before eventually just closing my eyes whilst my mouse hovered over the send button and just clicking it. Then I cried some more and necked a bottle of amaretto... It was silly really, I'd never really wanted it, I just wanted him to be happy, it was the most unwedding wedding ever!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Right, now to find somewhere to live. I looked at several flats, all of them were either awful, I couldn't have Barnaby bunny, or I couldn't afford them! When I thought I'd found one, they rang me the morning I was going to go in to pay the deposit to say that the landlord had changed his mind about a rabbit. Great! In the meantime I'd heard from my ex about his new flat, he wanted to know how much longer I needed as he was still paying his half of the house (I'm not slating him, he's been great with the financial stuff)... But I was stuck with no money for a deposit, with a house rabbit he'd bought me, and was quickly running out of time! I took a few days off of flat hunting... Then suddenly an amazing one appeared that seemed far too good to be true. Mum spotted it, I was having a break from flat hunting! It was right where I'd ideally live, under budget, bigger than anything else I'd seen, had an amazing bathroom, and was just perfect, I had to have it!</p>
<p dir="ltr">After booking a viewing for as soon as the agents got the keys, I got called into a meeting at work, still reeling from hopefully finding somewhere lovely to live.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our team were being restructured. To cut a long story short, I either went for a new role on the same money that was clearly going to be a right bitch, or I was going to have to take a £5k pay cut... Or after almost eight years of doing a job I mostly loved, in a team I mostly loved, I could take voluntary redundancy. I took redundancy after a week of mulling things over.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I had no man, no where to live, and no job. Everything was different and terrifying, yet new and exciting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The day before confirming my redundancy I went to see the flat, and fell in love instantly! I handed over my credit card there and then and paid the deposit. It was mine all mine!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Two weeks later, I was in my very own flat, and I was officially leaving my job. In the three weeks since moving out of our home and into my almost dream flat quite a lot's happened. I finally feel like me! I'm smiling subcontiously, this all feels like aaaaaages ago, when in reality this all happened only two months ago, and I've even managed to tell people about how cool my unwedding was going to be! I'm not saying its the healthiest way, but I've lost weight and look good for it, my skin's the best its been ever, and I'm being the right amount of selfish. I've been out for drinks with friends and bumped in to friends who haven't known about it all and I haven't cried about it! I feel not quite whole, but I'm happy with how I've come out the other side. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy my own company and just how independent I am. And strong. I'm really bloody strong. And optimistic, I'm genuinely excited about what's to come! I've booked a few days away (to Brighton, of course!) potentially maybe have a date set up (I'm not getting my hopes up, and I'm not sure I want anything out of it, but it'd be lovely to know that someone might like me, let alone think I'm hot, and yet just the thought of it terrifies me!) and am thinking up all the jobs I might like to do (ironically the only job I've ever wanted is a wedding planner! Work that one out!!) </p>
<p dir="ltr">I guess I'm trying to say that no matter what happens, no matter how many things are thrown at you, and no matter how many dreams are shattered, I will be fine. You'll be fine. Everything happens for a reason, and there's always other paths to wander up.... And you never know who you might meet on the way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for coming along for the ride</p>
<p dir="ltr">Love<br>
