Aloha! I've seen a couple of these posts going around lately so I thought it would be fun to do a post of my own. So here goes...

1. I've had many career aspirations. I wanted to be an interior designer until I was about 13, I started a journalism degree then I switched to do a Law degree, and now I'm training to be a tax accountant! I doubt I will ever fully make up my mind!

2. I detest raw tomatoes.

3. I'm not a big fan of films. I get bored too easily. There are exceptions to this though!

4. I used to dance competitively (Latin American & Freestyle) until I was 17. I miss it.

5. If I won the lottery, the first thing I'd buy would be a round-the-world holiday. Then I'd buy a house, get married, adopt some cats and dogs and live a comfortable, happy life!

6. The first band I saw live was Boyzone with my mum. I was 10.

7. I don't like the texture of bananas but I love the flavour.

8. I had an imaginary friend as a child. He was called Kenny and according to my mother, I used to talk to him all the time. I don't remember this at all.

9. I've broken 3 bones in my life so far. I broke my pinkie playing netball, my foot after falling down a flight of stairs (I was texting), and one of my toes after slipping at the side of the pool in Mexico and being too vain to just fall in the pool instead of trying to steady myself.

10. My idea of a good night is spending it at home, watching Netflix with Mikey and a beer after eating a tasty home cooked meal (usually something Mexican).
11. Mikey and I have been together for 4 and a half years and we are due to get married in 2017!
12. I am obsessed with buying candles but I've never lit half of them! I'm a strange one!
13. My favourite ever meal is probably fajitas! I love a bit of spice!
14. Talking of spice, I get the hiccups 9 times out of 10 when I eat spicy food. It drives everyone around me insane. Drinking water out the wrong side of the glass is the cure!
15. I can't eat more than 3 potatoes or more than 4 fork fulls of rice or my throat begins to close up! I dunno if it's like a mild allergy or just a strange gag reflex! Either way, it's annoying!
16. Despite being a blogger, I still have a special place in my heart for print media. I still buy magazines every month, usually more than 1 a week!
17. I love to travel. Being in a new place doesn't scare me and I love the challenge of finding my way about. It annoys me that we have we have put all holidays on hold whilst we save for our wedding - but it will be worth it of course!
18. When we go out to a restaurant, I always look at the deserts before the mains. I guess you could say I have a major sweet tooth!
19. I love supermarkets. I have to wander up and down every aisle just in case I miss a bargain or a new product I haven't tried!
20. Mushroom soup makes me feel physically sick. Don't know why. Never tried it, never will.

Aloha & Happy Valentines Day!

I hope you've all been spoilt by your significant others today.

Of course, love should be expressed every day, not just today!

As usual, here is what I've been up to this week through my iphone camera!

I decided to try some different recipes this week because we've been eating the same meals for the last few weeks and it was getting a bit boring! I started the week by making these chicken schnitzels! They were pretty yummy and got a big thumbs up from Mikey!

I'll share the recipe on here soon!

Tuesday was pancake day! We try not to eat too much junk Monday to Friday so I tried to make semi healthy pancakes. I obviously made my own batter from scratch! None of your betty crocker shaker bottles here thank you very much! I then sliced bananas and sprinkled some blueberries, sugar and a drizzle of syrup. They were delicious!

I was off work on Friday as I had a hospital appointment in the morning. Thankfully my knee is not as serious as first thought. It turns out my knee cap is away off centre. I'm going to start a course of physio to see if it improves. Because I don't need an operation (yet), Mikey and I had a couple of drinks after he finished work. 

Then I met up with the girls from my work as one of them was having a leaving do. It was a good night. I've not been out in town for ages as I have to drive to work and it's a pain to take the car home then go back out on a Friday night!

On Saturday, Mikey had an all day class at uni so I spent the day cooking up a storm in the kitchen! I made this tasty beef keema which went down great! 

I also made these red velvet macaroons as a valentine's treat! They didn't last long! Let me know in the comments below if you'd like me to post the recipe! 

Today was valentine's day and we spent it in our PJ's watching rubbish on Netflix and eating! We ordered a chinese as a treat. I don't think we've had a takeaway since October!

Finally, this was in my fortune cookie from the Chinese. I can dream right?!

Have a fabulous week! I'm counting down to the weekend already!
