Cupcake recipe- Easy Peasy!

The recipe I am about to share with you was my mum's when she was in school, it is so good...
 To make these cupcakes you need;

• 8 ounces-caster sugar 
• 4 ounces-soft fat (stork margarine)
• 8 ounces-self raising flour
• 4 eggs
• Betty Crockers vanilla icing (or any flavor you prefer)
• The sprinkle factory-sweet treats
• Cupcake cases

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180-190 degrees.
2. Cream together the caster sugar and margarine until white and fluffy.
3. Break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat whisk until airy.
4. Alternately, (beating after each) add the egg and sieved flour to the creamed mixture.
5.  Beat well until aired enough.
6. Place equal amounts into your cupcake cases
7. Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
8. Wait for them to completely cool before adding the decoration. 
9. Once cooled, add as much or as little frosting as you like. To get the swirl effect use the end and the side of the knife and go round from the outside to the center of the cupcake.
10. Add whatever decorations you want to get your perfect final look.

My Easter childhood!

Where do I begin?
Easter Sunday when I was a little Christy was the most exciting thing! I used to get so much chocolate it was unbelievable.
The night before mum and dad would hide loads of mini eggs, creme eggs and little Easter treats around the house for me, Ryan and Rory to hunt for in the morning! It never mattered who got the most in there basket because we always ended up sharing them out equally.
Though the best part was trying to find the BIG eggs! Mum and Dad always made clues to where they were, from one egg to the other! Once I remember they hid one in dads van!

I have an egg that I miss the most though! The cadburys "dream" Easter egg.

I can not describe how good this egg was. I always used to leave it till last so that I could just stare at it in astonishment!

I am proud to admit that last year I did do an Easter egg hunt, unfortunetly that was my last. This year even though i'm 16 I would have loved to do it still. It brings back all my childhood memories.

This year I received an aero from  my Auntie, lindtt-lindor from Danny,Chick and Bunny from mum and also mini bags of mini eggs.

                                                  This is the whole family's eggs!

                                            And these are mine, I am a lucky girl :D

Happy Easter everybody!!

charity prefect

Mufti days. They are never organised as well as you hope they would be.

Our school are appalling at organising non-school uniform days this year. Mainly because of the charity prefect (aka one of my best friends). He signed up to be charity prefect quite happily like it was an easy job. He thought VERY wrong. The only mufti day that he has organised and which I can remember him organising was last year. He always says, I forgot or i didn't know anything about it... Your not meant to "know" about it, your meant to make it up yourself, UNBELIEVABLE!
 I do love him though.
Fortunetly we have a mufti day this coming Wednesday for the whole school (because of the constant complaining) but also have a massive whole school assembly in the hall haha!

MESSAGE to Toby:- Organise non school uniform days for year 11's to raise for prom, much appreciated! Love you tibbs.
 Here is me and the "so called" charity prefect :D

Year 11 part 2

I haven't done a blog for yonks! I haven't had any spare time and just completely forgot about it. The reason for this is GCSE's.

They take up so much of my time its unbelievable! Doing revision and homework most nights except from when I see Danny! I can't wait for the day I see him, not just so I don't do homework :P

My last blog about being in year 11 was about what it is like, but now..... It's all go.

Coursework

Coursework
Coursework
Coursework
COURSEWORK!

That is all i'm hearing at the moment.
I am giving up sooo many lunchtimes, but it is for my own good!
I quite often fall asleep on the bus home.

Though I have counted how many weeks left until leavers day and you would not believe how close it actually is... 8 1/2 weeks including the Easter holidays! I'm nervous and scared yet excited.
I'm looking forward to leaving school and learning about what I want to learn (sport). I'm hopefully going to Easton collage to do Level 3 BTEC sport extended diploma and go in 4 days a week! Meeting new people is what I'm looking forward to the most!
Though at the same time I can safely say I'm shitting it! Going into the big wide world...
I know when I leave school I'm going to want to go straight back as that's what every year that has left have said so the feeling won't change for my year.
Sometimes I just want to be in year 8 again where it was all so much easier.

I'm defietley excited for prom, considering I already have my dress :P I'm hoping it will be a night to remember!

 Younger years, you have been warned!

Sparkly nails!

I'm always trying to find a new way to decorate my nails. I normally don't have much time to experiment or get used to something as I  have school but thankfully it is half term this week. So far I have got red sparkly nails.

Here is how to do them:

Step 1: First of all you need to apply a base coat to your nails. I use 'Rimmel 5 in 1' shown below.

`Step 2: Allow base coat to dry. Once dry, apply bright red nail polish. I use Double Decker Red by Rimmel London. Allow to dry thoroughly.

 

This is a really good nail polish as it is very chip resistant and you only need to apply one coat.

 

Step 3: Allow to dry thoroughly. Next, apply a see through sparkly nail polish, I used 'technic'. Shown below.

 

 

Step 4: Allow to dry. If you want to you can apply your base/top coat again to make sure your nails don't chip easily. Your nails should end up looking something like this.

 

 



These nails are so quick an easy to do. Great for a night out when your in a rush.

You can use any colours you want... You can even try multicoloured!!

My geography trip 15/02/13

                                                       My poor converese

Oh dear :S

I went on a geography trip today to Cromer and Overstrand to see what would be lost if the sea defences weren't there or maintained enough. For the trip I wore my WHITE converse, WHAT WAS I THINKING!?!? They are sooo muddy!

My poor converese!! (washing machine they go!)

It took about half an hour to get to Cromer as the bus driver was old and grumpy. We finally got their and off we went, we did our work which included asking shop keepers surveys about the sea defences,  me, megan, lauren, jess and sophie went into a sports shop and ask this middle aged man if we could ask him some questions and even without finishing what we had to say he was like "No, I wont answer them" SORRY! we are only teenagers trying to get information for our coursework! HOW RUDE! Anyway, after we did our work we went and got a baguette from "The baguette shop"(very unique;))  I also went and bought some rock which costedb£2.50 for 2 peices so I paid with a £20 note! :DD mwahah!!
There always has to be a last group to the bus and guessing who it was...It was Toby (tibbs) I had to call him multiple times until he picked up!!Typical boy!
As we arrived at Overstrand it became even windier and colder! We spent about 30 mins doing our work and for the rest of the hour we played in the park. This resulted in me getting injured just as we were about to leave!

 

I stupidly grazed my knee as I fell of a roundabout in the park

 



By being in the park for about an hour, towards the end I grazed by knee. I was just casually sitting on the roundabout and as boys would. they decided to spin my round and it felt as if I was going round quicker than anything! I started to slide of the edge laughing but feeling sick at the same time and I just couldn't hang on any longer. I flew of and started laughing but also crying with pain. It HURT big time. That taught me. I got on the bus and left my graze to get some air but it stung all the way back to school :( bad times. It has finally started to heal now and has stopped bleeding. I really don't like roundabouts!

Summer body!

Us teenage girls all wish for that flat, summer body. But most of us don't really work for it, I know I haven't in the past and have just expected it!
Though for for this summer holiday I am willing to accept the challenge. My friends Danee and Lucy have just joined the Victory gym in North Walsham, I'm jelouse as I can't afford it :(.

Until Summer I am willing to go either jogging, on mondays after school do fitness (which I did today) or go on my wii fit but work at a very high intensity for atleast 4 times a week! I know after a while I will get very bored of working out and all that! But i'm hoping you will send me messages to help motivate me! As it gets lighter I will start to go jogging in the evenings after school, either on my own or with a friend or my boyfriend!

The thought of actually having a healthy flat tummy has been in my dreams for all my high school life! Though when it comes to my last year I'm taking full action!

I'm also debating whether to get my belly peirced or not! Please comment to help me make up my decision! All will be appreciated!
