What A Choice..

A couple of weeks ago I had one of the worst migraines ever which caused me to take time off work.

Having tried various meds in an effort to either prevent or halt them in the past, (all to no avail)  I decided to re-visit my GP.

So, just over a week ago I started taking a daily dose of Propanolol in the hope of preventing another attack.

Propanolol is a beta-blocker, commonly used to treat high blood pressure.

However, one of the possible side effects is tiredness and guess what, I am feeling very very tired- all the flippin time!!

I don’t want to stop the pills yet, I don’t want to give up but I’m not sure how long I can function with such a weary feeling and such achy legs.

Seems to be a choice between, all the time tiredness and the devil of a migraine once or twice a month..

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

A few days ago I came across a recipe on one of my favourite blogs, Bubblegum Diaries, for a fast fix chocolate cake made in a mug.

I just had to try it!

It looks funny the way it's risen up above the mug and it scared me a bit whilst it was in the microwave but as they say the proof is in the pudding..

It was yummy!

Here’s the recipe: (Blatantly pinched form Technodoll, hope she wont kill me!)

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE (aka Bullet Cake)

• 4 tablespoons flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
• A small splash of vanilla extract
• 1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to the mug and mix well.

Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

 

Ta-dah… we have cake, chocolate cake!!!

Thanks Technodoll :)

Interesting Carrot!

I hadn't the heart to take a knife to it! lol

I’m A Bit Of A Bad Blogger

But I don’t mean to be…

I post fairly regularly, not everyday as I used to, which is OK as I don’t like to overload people, so that’s not so bad.

I try my best to come and comment on your blogs as often as I can, and even when I don’t have the energy to type a single word I try to read all your posts.

The bit I feel really bad about is not replying to your comments on my blog – that is bad…

But I do want to say I really really do appreciate all your comments and I usually read and moderate them from my phone with the intention of replying later.. Sadly that rarely happens, time flies by and I’m too tired, it’s too late, there’s other stuff to attend to etc etc..

So, please, don’t give up adding your tuppence worth, it is worth a lot more than that to me and you never know I might actually get round to replying one of these days!

£300 a Month!?

Just leafing through a copy of Glamour magazine, yes a real paper mag, when I saw an article on making your home stylish.

It says "Women aged 25 to 54 spend £300 a month on decorating their homes"

WHERE did they get that from I wonder?

Some very well paid women I suppose!

Do you spend that much EACH month on your home?

I certainly don't, no way could I afford to either!

Harajuku Lovers

These are five gorgeous little perfumes I received for Christmas just gone.

Love, Music, Angel, Baby and G – that’s Gwen Stefani.

They came in a circular box which when open looks like a dolls house.

They are so cute don't you think?

8 Hours Free Time?

Generally speaking we have 8 hours out of every 24 that are ours to do with as we please..

There are 8 hours spent at work and 8 hours asleep which leaves us 8 hours totally free time..…

Apart that is from getting up, showering, ironing, dressing, eating breakfast, washing up, making sandwiches, travelling to work.

Travelling home from work, shopping, cooking, cleaning, washing, tidying (add your own chores here) ad infinitum… Ha!

I think we need another 8 hours to fit it all in! Whahhhhh!!
