February Highlights ✨️

Hi guys 👋🏻

Well, that month flew by, didn’t it!

Here are my February highlights…


We started back doing our Parkruns this month! Happy with my time of 34.01 – here’s to getting back to it again 👟

Me and my twin sister Sarah organised our bestfriends baby shower. It went really well and everyone had a great time! Lots of delicious food, fun games, presents and laughs 👶

Pancake day! One of the best days in Feb 🥞 I managed to have two pancake meals, haha.

We celebrated Valentines Day this year with our traditional meal to a local Turkish restaurant. It was delicious as always.

As you may have see from my previous holiblog post, we went to Northern Italy for the Feb half term. It was brilliant. We did Verona, Lake Garda, Milan & Venice (again!)

We had a brilliant time, there was so much to see and it was beautiful. We were also mostly, pretty lucky with the weather.

Another great Italy adventure

🇮🇹


What’s been your February Highlight?

I DID IT 🙌🏻🙌🏻🍫🍫❌❌

The day is here!

March 1st, Dechox is over & I did it 👊🏻

Hurrah!


It’s been harder this week knowing that I was so close to being able to eat it again, but, all in all it hasn’t been as horrendous as possible.

It has made me realise how much I would choose a chocolate option be it in biscuit form or a dessert.

& you often don’t even think about it before you grab it. Lots of times I have had to go and put it back on the shelf because I’ve realised what I’ve got in my hand 🤣


In total I managed to raise £60 for The British Heart Foundation.

I have really been enjoying my chocolate today.

This was my reward, leftover from Christmas.


Thankyou to everybody who donated to my Just Giving page!! It’s much appreciated.

And if you’d like to now that I’ve actually done it then I’ll leave the link below.

Dechox: Halfway there! 🍫🚫❌


It’s the halfway point!!

14 days done, 14 to go 👊🏻👊🏻


It’s been going well so far and I havnt missed eating the chocolate as much as I thought, however I do think that you sniff out substitutes to make up for the chocolate shaped hole in your life!!

There will be no Valentine’s chococolate for me this year!!


I set a fundraising target of:

£100

So far I’ve have raised…

£30


Are you taking part?

How are you getting on?


Until next time,

My reading challenge: February 📚

Month One of my reading challenge is complete and I managed to read three books, one more than my minimum.

● Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian

● The face behind the mask: The Annie Graham series by Helen Phifer

● The Good Sisters by Helen Phifer


Month Two of my reading challenge is here …

The books I will be reading for February are:

●Eve of Man by Giovanna & Tom Fletcher

Eve is like any other teenage girl . . .

Except that the fate of the entire world lies on her shoulders.

She’s the first girl born in fifty years. She’s the answer to their prayers. She’s the final hope. Which means she has one function alone . . . At sixteen, Eve must face her destiny and make a choice.

She will choose a man, one out of three carefully selected suitors.

But what about Bram?

The future of the planet hangs on Eve making the right choice.

Will she?

●Dark House: The Detective Lucy Harwin series by Helen Phifer

‘For years, the Moore Asylum housed the forgotten children of Brooklyn Bay. But now, a man is found murdered in the derelict building, strapped to a steel trolley, launching a heart-racing investigation for Detective Lucy Harwin.

Lucy quickly discovers the victim was once a Moore Asylum doctor, and when a woman also linked to the home is killed on her doorstep, Lucy knows she must dig into its history. What dark secrets lie within the asylum’s walls – what was the scandal leading to its closure thirty years ago?’


Of course, like in January, if I find any more that I want to read and I can fit them it, I will. Obviously Feb is a short month so I’m not sure I’ll do three this time round.


What books have you guys been enjoying throughout January??

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Dechox is here! 🍫🚫❌

Dechox is a fundraising campaign set up by The British Heart foundation to help fight ‘heart break’ (Very apt for this month!)

The campaign involves you giving up chocolate for the month of February, and in the process, raising lots of money for charity.

& a very worth while charity it is.


I will be carrying out the challenge from Fri 1st Feb until Thurs 28th Feb.

No chocolate, no chocolate flavourings, nothing with chocolate in at all. #sendhelp


Here is the website where you can find out some more information.

So, keep your fingers crossed for me and good luck to anybody who is also taking on this (insane, let’s be honest!) Challenge!


Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂
