That Girl with that Blog

Hello Earth bugs,  We left this month's My Earthquake post right until the very end, but hey it's snowing outside so you can cosy on up and have a cuppa. I do feel like the title sounds a bit like on I'm a Celebrity and telling them who is going to do the Bush Tucker trials, but I assure you I'm not. Let's just crack on, eh... Here we have February's My Earthquake post, you may not be familiar to this segment of my little internet space then it's basically me attempting to make a difference here and make someone happy there and this is only my second post. If you'd like to read my January post which is about the Chesterfield Shoebox Appeal then you can clickedy-click here and away we go. For February I'm not focusing on any individual or any group but it could be about you. Now this may seem a bit of a cop out but I decided that I'd like to do a post where I encourage people to help. Therefore, this post is dedicated to anyone who wants to...

Hey Earth bugs, For my mum's birthday last September I got her an experience gift to go and be part of a murder mystery dinner where there's actors playing out various scenes and whatnot. My mum has always loved murder mystery books and I figured it would be a different sort of present to usual, but as the day got closer we were both nervous. We didn't know what to expect and I was incredibly worried that she was actually going to hate it. But on the 17th February we hopped in the car and off we went to Aspley Guise.  We stopped at a McDonald's on the way...kind of obligatory on a long journey. It wasn't until I got into the car that I realised I was meant to get my own ketchup and hadn't, so had my nuggets ketchupless. My heart broke a little bit, but I had chocolate raisins for the rest of the journey to keep me entertained. It didn't take that long to get to the hotel and much to our relief it wasn't many turns off the motorway so it didn'...

Hey Earth bugs, Hmm, has bugs stuck or will I go back to Earthlings at some point? WHO KNOWS. Actually, it is bugging me, I shall make up my mind at some point but for now welcome to this week's post. I like to reflect on my writing and how it has changed and how much my confidence has grown in my blog compared to when I first started it, which was in 2014 when I was 15 (in less than a month I'll be 19 so I like to think it will have all improved at least a tiny bit). For this reason, I have taken the first ever post I published, an about me post - kind of like writing in a new notebook with a massive profile page (I did this to ALL my notebooks, complete with my favourite colour and favourite meal etc.), and I'm going to pick it apart paragraph by paragraph and see how things have changed and what I'd probably write now. Although, we definitely have moved up in the world as my blog does include an about me tab now, feel free to check it out here .  "Erm hi I g...

Hey there Earth bugs (switched it up a bit), As it is the first of February it seemed quite fitting to do a bit of a cosy catch up to review the never ending month of January. I feel quite cosy right now, despite the bitter weather, I'm sat tapping this prior to Death in Paradise which is obviously always a good time of the day and I'm also going to have a hot chocolate so bonus. January feels like it had approximately 67 days but we made it to February. The first month of 2018 was definitely an odd one for so many reasons that I won't mention here but as a whole, I'm glad to move onto a new month. It's a record as well that it's the first of the month and I have already turned my calendars over, normally it is at least the 8th before I manage to do it. Mini victory. Feel free to grab a hot beverage, or cool, and let's go.  I have set myself some more creative goals for the year but I'm going to set myself some mini goals for February. I'd like t...
