Last Monday was the 4th of April which is a special date for me because it is my daughter's birthday. Its so weird to think about how much my life has changed over the past year. Its even weirder to think that instead of a tiny helpless baby I now have a one year old who can do so much. We decorated the house with garlands, cards & balloons and loads of family members came over to give Chloe her presents. We also made some vanilla cupcakes instead of a big birthday cake which were really delicious.

Needless to say I wanted to look nice for the occasion. Considering I looked absolutely atrocious this time last year I wanted to show myself & everyone else that I'm still my own person and can actually look vaguely pretty once in a while haha. So I wore my new red polka dot dress from Topshop. Can't beat a good polka dot dress I always say! I can see myself wearing this a lot over the Summer. Just need an ice cream, a pear Kopparberg & a nice little denim jacket now and I'm set. Theres one in Miss Selfridge that I really want so probably gonna buy that next week. I'm wearing the Girls Aloud Sarah lashes in these pictures which are definitely my favourite out of all the Girls Aloud range, proper full on glamour. Loveeeeeee them.

I think Chloe had a lovely 1st birthday, she deserves it because shes a wonderful little girly really. All the family members who visited seemed to enjoy themselves too, so that was good haha. It was a bit daunting being the one in charge of everything but hopefully I'll get better at it in time! Heres to many more wonderful birthdays together <3

This is what I wore today to pick up some stuff from the Post Office depot. Its so annoying, they slipped the 'you were out' card through our letterbox yesterday when we were all in and awake. They don't even bother to take half the parcels they're supposed to with them. Lazy money grabbing sods, it happens all the time! Lol enough of ranting about Royal Mail, I'm like an old woman! On the way back I stopped off at H&M and New Look to buy some new stuff for me and Chloe. And a massive chav said I was 'gaaaaaawgeous', what a compliment eh?

I got this dress in the Motel sale. I'd wanted it for ages so when I saw it was half price I bought it straight away. It fits like a dream so I'm really happy I got it. I bought this belt from New Look a few years ago. It was really tight at the time but now even on the first hole its really loose. I think it finishes off the outfit though. When my boyfriend saw me this morning, he said I looked like Kat Slater from Eastenders! What?! I think its just because he hates leopard print. This always makes me want to wear head-to-toe leopard print just to piss him off. We got back together the other day, hes still being a bit of a knob but aren't most men?

And some exciting news: we're moving! We've lived in this shitty one bed flat since December 2009 and it has been absolute hell. Its been good living right next to the shops cos we don't have a car but Kirkgate is quite possibly the shittiest street in Leeds. Theres loads of tramps and we live opposite a drugs cafe. All our stuff is piled up because theres no room in here and you can hear everything happening out on the street. My boyfriend's estranged dad has a house in Huddersfield that he doesn't use so hes letting us live there rent free! I have no idea what Huddersfield is like, I've only visited there briefly, so does anyone know if theres any good shops, restaurants, gyms round there? Theres already a tenant there but he doesn't pay any rent either and hopefully he'll be leaving in the next couple of months. We're moving some stuff over tomorrow. I really hope this will a nice new start for us because I've been so unhappy here. Can't wait to move :D

Shorts - Topshop
Belt - Topshop

I can't believe that Christmas is only 11 days away! I've not even put any decorations up yet. I really need to get cracking with my Christmas shopping so this is what I'm wearing today to find some nice pressies. Shopping on a Saturday scares me, theres just way too many people so I'm trying to get it done during the week. Just have to wait for Chloe to wake up from her nap and we'll be off.

I got this top from New Look & these shorts from Topshop over the summer but I never got the chance to wear them because they were both a bit tight on me. I've lost a bit of weight since then so I thought I would wear them out today. Yes I'm one of those people who wear tights and shorts no matter how freezing it is outside, it just looks better! My weight loss has pretty much come to a standstill at 10st 6lbs so I think I just need to make more time for the gym. I had to give up on the 30 day shred after day one because I couldn't fully extend my arms properly for about a week! I will do it though, I'm making a commitment. Luckily I don't really pig out over Christmas. This will be the first year where I am making Christmas dinner so we're having chicken instead of turkey, stuffing, veggies & about a million sausages wrapped in bacon, yum! Can't wait, I love cooking. I also hate Christmas pudding, yule log is where its at.

My mum is coming up from London tomorrow to spend some time with me & Chloe and give us our pressies. She and my sister are going to New York for Christmas so I am seriously jealous. In 2008 we went there for my birthday in August and again at Christmas so I suppose I can't complain too much. So I'll be spending the next few days with her. Luckily the hotel shes staying at has a free gym so I can work out and I can go to shops that don't allow prams in yay! I'm also hoping that me and Andy can go on a night out on Thursday. I'm not holding out much hope though. Last night he went to Headingley to watch the football with one of his friends and said he'd be back at 10.30. I was awake til 1.30 and he still wasn't back. When he arrived home this morning he told me how they drank loads of brandy shots, came into town & went to a club down the road from our flat. But instead of coming back home he went back with his friend, who had pulled, and had to wait for them to finish having sex to leave. So now hes decided he hates drinking and wants to be straight edge... I don't know, my boyfriend is rather strange.
