Easter Nails...well sort of.

Good Afternoon!


So this is what I came up with for my Easter nails. I originally wanted choccy bars on all of my nails but time was not on my side and I had to settle for 2! The bow was random, but I liked it. I guess you might get a bow on your Easter egg sometimes? No? Ok. So I guess they aren't very Easter themed at all. At least I tried!

Hope you like them

Come Dine With Me Special

Good afternoon everybody,

Hope you've all been taking advantage of the fine weather over the last week? In typical British fashion it doesn't look set to continue but luckily we made the most of it whilst we could.

Our group of friends have been doing a weekly 'Come Dine with Me' for the past 6 months (Shannon and I can't believe we all stuck at something so long) and we'd gotten to the point where the excitement and competitiveness dwindled a little.

What with the weather being glorious at the moment, we weren't keen on the idea of slaving away over a hot stove, missing out on some much needed vitamin D. So as a compromise we've decided to go out for dinner once a month. Popular restaurant chains have been banned (i.e no Nandos under any circumstances) and we have to branch out and experience some fine, local dining.

So last week six loud, chatty girls ventured to Morans Eating House on Bath Road in Cheltenham. Everything on the menu sounded amazing and I had real trouble choosing, even though the menu was fairly small. I ended up having portobello mushrooms for starter and marinated chicken breast with prosciutto and taleggio, which was a fantastic choice!

Shannon had a wonderful chilli con carne topped with sour cream, which of course she devoured instantly!

Although the food was quite pricey it was absolutely delicious and the service was great. It was worth every penny and we all agreed we would definitely eat there again.


If you're ever around the Cheltenham area check out their website for prices and info http://www.moranseatinghouse.co.uk/.

Enjoy the 4 day week.
