My Easter 2016

I had such a fun Easter fortnight!

We did sooo much eating out... Here are a few of the meals I enjoyed...

Mixed kebab at a Turkish restaurant 

Prezzo Pollo e Spinaci

Delicious Sunday roast & dessert (post DECHOX of course!)

Wagamama's Raisukaree

Another yummy roast...

Followed by an amazing Belgian waffle...

... All washed down with a nice cool glass (or two) of Prosecco 

Over the month of March (yes for the whole 31 days) I gave up all cocoa for DECHOX. DECHOX is a fundraising event created by the British Heart Foundation to raise donations to their charity; helping to combat heart disease. The cause is close to my heart (excuse the pun) and for a chocolate-each-evening girl; it was quite an achievement! Needless to say; I enjoyed the 1st April!

Happy End Of DECHOX

Lots of generous people supported me on my challenge - we raised over £160 for the British Heart Foundation, which is an amazing figure!

I didn't just eat (and drink!) on the two week break! 

I attended a wedding reception where the bride looked gorgeous, the groom very smart and helped the couple celebrate their first evening as husband and wife. 

We had a family get-together at our house over Easter; quality time with special people (and more food & drink!!) 

Other than socialising, putting on weight and sinking liquid grapes; I spent my days with our {rather cheeky} not so little puppy! She's grown so much and totally enjoys following me everywhere! We spent many an hour snuggled up together on the recliner over the fortnight! She had some trips over the park - FREEDOM!! - and really cemented our BFF status.

As many of you know, life has been pretty hard recently. For many reasons. Some of which many know, and many of which few know. I needed to have that time to breath, time for myself, to relax and really appreciate what I do have and what I can do, not on the negative. 

I truly feel grateful for my lil life and long may that attitude continue.
