Hayley's the ice queen!

Nerves were ahead last night as we awaited the result as to whether Hayley Tamaddon would be the one who turned out as the winner of Dancing on Ice 2010. We always knew she'd get to the final stage, along with Gary Lucy, now we just waited to find out whether she was chosen as the winner. And as luck would have it, Hayley and partner Daniel did a fabulous but romantic bolero routine, which won over the judges hearts as well as the public. After hours of waiting, it was eventually time for sexy Phillip Schofield to reveal the result... And we all cried with joy when it turned out right! Hayley Tamaddon is ice champion 2010! And it's well deserved

Thank god for EBay!

Where would we be without EBay? Well thank god for the internet marketplace, because I've found just what I'm looking for that I plan to get for Easter instead of an egg and new DVD. It could only be in the shape of a new LG C1200 phone charger, because, sadly, just a year lasting, and it's broken! We've discovered just today, and it could well blow up if we try carrying on using it. So I've gone on to EBay and found just what I was looking for! An old LG connector, in a new and unused state, costing £3.99! That's just as cheap as a new pot of dulux paint. The end date is 13th April this year at 5:44pm. I want it, and I ain't going to rest until the LG phone is usable again! Question is how did the charger I had just break like that?

It's the final!

Three finalists have been chosen, only one will win and be crowned ice champion 2010. Tomorrow, the Dancing on Ice final will begin on ITV1 at 7:45pm, with Kieron Richardson, Hayley Tamaddon and Gary Lucy competing for the title. They will first be asked to do a routine from earlier in the contest before this final, then the three of them will take to the air one by one. Then, come the final skate-off, one will be eliminated and the two left will get to skate the bolero. Then, the elminated stars will return and battle it out, then it will be the time where the winner will be revealed all in one piece! Who do you think will it be out of the three who are left?

Flippie dies!

Today, about the nineth phone to die, Flippie Flipster is the one out for the count this time after we've discovered that somehow the end of the charger is about to snap clean off! Now thank god I'd noticed, because it's showing the voltage, and while I wouldn't of been looking, it would've probably blew up! It's devastating now because I haven't got anything to record myself at pretending to be Phil & Holly via the voice recorder, as now we'll need a new charger! It's a shame now as just Sagie Sagster, Brickie Brickster and Noka Nokter remain!

Phil's been baconed!

This has to be a joke. Poor Pip Schofield has been less than chuffed to find out his face has been featured on a bit of bacon for national bacon week! He only found this today and twitpicked it on his twitter feed. You can tell by his face he's less than impressed but he says he's ready for jokes to be thrown at him... The poor fella!

From four to three

Well, it was the semi final, and 4 had to become three, though it wasn't impressing when Kieron, Hayley, Daniella and Gary were made to hang on til after the ad break at the beginning of the skate-off! All because Phil had a pulling in his chest for Holly and his breath became trapped. But god, Phil, why carry on with it? Few hours later though, we soon found out which two were in the final and which two had to compete again. First through (and we knew this), Hayley Tamaddon and partner Daniel Whiston, second through to our surprise was Hollyoaks bad boy Kieron Richardson and partner Brianne Delcourt. That eventually left Daniella Westbrook and Matthew Gonzalez and Gary Lucy and Maria Filippov to compete again - having not impressed the public vote enough. However, the result was infuriating for us, because after we guessed Gary Lucy to lose his place in the final - he's actually booked himself in with Maria Filippov along with Kieron and Brianne and Hayley and Daniel. While poor Daniella failed to impress the second time round and has sadly missed out!

Jason's told to be quiet again!

Good on you Phillip - it's really getting to the stage now where ITV are considering axeing acid-tounged judge Jason Gardiner from Dancing on Ice. A fed up Phil Schofield had to yet again tell him to 'be quiet' because he was getting on his wick, and it's no surprise that when he came to have his say on Gary Lucy's element, the audience started booing. At one point this sunday Phil's girlfriend Holly Willoughby blurted out ''I'm too scared to come to you''. That's because she really knew what he was about to come out with...

Pipped to the post

Today I've been made to do something in cookery that I really hate. We were pretending to do a cafe, called 'cafe con leche' and we had to serve cakes, flapjack, teas, coffees, squash and sandwiches. Just as I was enjoying working with Leanne Davison doing the flapjack serving, I was asked by Diane White to do what I really HATE! Washing up, was the chore funnily enough, and people should know by now I'm not a quick, reliable washer-upper as I'm made to be, but I was made to - because they were waiting about for cups to serve the tea and coffee etc etc. Eventually, it got too much for me and someone else was asked to take over. And just aswell, because it got to the stage I was given dozens of cups, dozens of plates, dozens of cups.... And the thing nobody batted an eyelid about was my legs were killing!

Sunday 21 March 2010

Daniella's out!

Well, it was the semi final, and with just four stars remaining, it was hard for Holly & Phil to pick who should stay and who should go. They all did brilliantly well. But as usual, the tables turned, and in the skate-off we were left with Gary Lucy and Daniella Westbrook. With three votes against two, Gary gets to fly in next week's final and Daniella goes home.... When she was penned to be the runner-up with Hayley. Well, all we can clarify is, Hayley's up against one of the boys. We are furious! But bye Daniella!

Twitter fancy bloke list

Yesterday I came up with the idea of making a list on twitter of all the fellas I fancy who just so happen to be on the social network. Would you believe it? More have been discovered in a quiet corner of twitter who include Good Charlotte brothers Joel & Benji, Chili pepper Anthony, Jeremy Kyle... The list is now following 12, you can get the point of view at http://twitter.com/Ice_Fanatic/twitter-fancy-blokes some you may recognise will be in the list. Truth beknown more might be hiding twittering somewhere. I just came up with the idea after it was apparant a dozen of the fancy men are on the network!

It's the semi-final!

Tomorrow, the Dancing on Ice semi final will take place at 7:20pm on ITV1 and Phil & Holly's remaining four: Gary Lucy, Daniella Westbrook, Hayley Tamaddon and Kieron Richardson will compete for a place in next week's final, but lets bare in mind if the one out is Hayley, we have a 5 pack of cadbury bournvilles left to comfort eat with, just incase they are needed if she doesn't get through. As lets be sure we're supporting the babe by following @TeamDanley, retweeting tweets to vote for her, and just praying she survives the skate-off! Rest assured Kieron, Hayley, Daniella and Gary will face the skate-off that happens at 9:30pm. Please, Phillip, just crown Hayley now and not bother with the final! No, we'll see if it REALLY happens....

Horray for Phil & Holly at weekends!

This is something I know I've always dreamt of... Phillip Schofield & Holly Willoughby have taken over the entire Saturday and Sunday morning TV with This Morning: Saturday and This Morning: Sunday. Because I don't get to see them on a weekday! I'm not going mad, it just feels weird watching the couple on a Saturday morning show us highlights of the popular weekday show. I don't know whether they'll include these highlights in their 'highlights of the week' but it's something to brighten up our weekend mornings from when Dancing on Ice finishes next week. And it's a big ecuse not to go out because it doesn't want to be missed!

Phillip Schofield fan community gets members!

I'm in for a shock. Each time I check my e-mail, I discover members are really starting to fall for my fan community dedicated to the gorgeous, sex on legs Phillip. It's good, but when I view their profile, I discover they've been posting an inappropriate blog post. And something like that isn't allowed on a fan community about a TV presenter. So I'm having to sign in and suspend them. It'll a time one day I might actually have a member who doesn't post stuff about drugs and actually posts content about Phillip. They need to read the members notice, that's what they want to do!

Torvill & Dean's Dancing on Ice 2010.... Coming soon!

How about this for size? After Phillip Schofield & Holly Willoughby have signed off following the finale, Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean will return with their own brand new series with 20 stars desperate to make their skating dreams a reality. The line up they have is a corker, it has to be said, and we may also point out it WON'T be on the TV. it is an imaginary competition, where 20 stars will skate to songs from off the ipod! Yes, the ipod.

The line-up consists of:
Ex This Morning stylist Charles Worthington
Former Magic 1170 breakfast show host Alan Ross
This Morning/Dancing on Ice host Phillip Schofield
Former stylist Faye Sawyer
Former Corrie actress Jennie McAlpine
This Morning floor manager Tim Carr
Telly host Jeremy Kyle
The Killers drummer Ronnie Vannucci
The Killers vocalist's wife Tana Flowers
Corrie actress Katy Cavanagh
Professional skater Daniel Whiston
Galaxy host Steve Furnell
Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle
GMTV's Penny Smith
TV presenter Melanie Sykes
Soap babe Gemma Bissix
Westlife's Kian Egan
Scouting For Girls's Greg Churchouse
R&B singer Jully Black
Let's Dance for Sport Relief host Steve Jones

Any views on who may make it to the final? Who do you think will have to compete again?

MySpace account gets hacked!

Just a couple of weeks back, if I hadn't discovered my twitter account was in for the hackers, somebody had apparantly now phished my MySpace account too, and I only found out when I logged in the other day. I hope people hadn't been sending out invites, friend requests, messages etc pretending to be me, because if they have been, I don't know about it, because nobody had had the decency to let me know. I was requested to reset my password, which I did, only trouble is now I keep forgetting it. And I don't want to note it down somewhere because if I put the title 'My MySpace password' people seeing the note could find out I'm on MySpace as well as twitter. Good job I haven't had friend requests in the past few days!

Leaky hell!

Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby & Phil Vickery (Mr Whippy) were in for a shock last Thursday when the ceiling started leaking through the kitchen! And almost landed on the pan! As Holly attempted to help and Phil looked on in amazement, Mr Whippy argued he could fix the leak perfectly well. Only as he did so he scuppered it all up and the whole ceiling came crashing down! A qualified person is needed!

Emily's pregnant!

From lashing out at taxis to getting weird and wonderful cravings, Emily Atack has tried to make amends on loads of things from different occassions. The taxi driver now gives her a £1000 fine after soiling his vehicle, but it's time to concentrate on the love she has for fellow contestant Kieron Richardson. Landing a place in the semi final wants to be twice the thought as this week, Emily faces telling Kieron she's pregnant! Her mum's going to go mental!

Chocolate or album?

Decisions decisions.... I'm off to ASDA and there isn't much I need, but because I know of two exsisting Ipod artists currently releasing new material, I'm thinking of getting an album to update the ipod a bit. And the choice is either Gorillaz or Sharleen Spiteri. The ipod MUST know what music the artists made and when. But, on the other side of the scale, there is no chocolate left, so there's also that to think about! I'll take a £10 note, try and decide, but really I should depend on a list... Anyway, decision time begins! Let's bare in mind too, ipod artist Sharleen Spiteri was only new last year, and used to be if I remember rightly Phillip Schofield's famous girlfriend!

Heather annoys Daniella & Gary!

We may be wrong, but we think a feud is beginning to develop against Daniella Westbrook, Heather Mills & Gary Lucy. Heather, since evicting the competition, has done nothing but annoy Daniella & Gary. She's mainly jealous since the two have made it to the semi final next week accompanying Hayley Tamaddon & Kieron Richardson. Also, it's not just her husband and skating partner that Daniella's in love with... She's making a b-line for Gary Lucy! As the newly-lovers had a secret kiss outside the Dancing on Ice studio, Heather crept up on them and again annoyed them by saying ''I'll tell both your spouses you cheating on them... Cheats!" Daniella & Gary just looked at each other, insisting they are just friends, but Heather Mills is starting to become a bit of a bunny-boiler between Gary & Daniella!

FRIEND REQUESTS (starting at about 50 a day)

Since I've joined MySpace, each and every time I'm interacting on my MySpace page, it goes 'ding'. That alerts me another friend request has made a come uppance. And it's no surprise that it's either a boy, girl or a band. It's getting to the stage now they're starting about 50 a day, depending if I'm a MySpace user who's online. If I am, then a friend request will be sent. And approved. But it's getting beyond a joke now and I'm already starting to think 'do people know I'm actually on MySpace. Are people attracted by that bottle of Oasis?. They must be. If I'm not online, it never appears to happen. But now if I am a MySpace user online friend requests sent are beginning to start at round about 50 a day!

No rest at weekends now!

For some, we are lucky we get a weekend off with tea and coffee, shopping around, and watching the TV. But for Phillip Schofield and girlfriend Holly Willoughby, from this weekend, will no longer be able to lay in bed on a saturday and sunday! Believe it or not it will get to the stage they have to work at noon on a sunday and just before lunch on a saturday! That's because ITV have announced they want the pair on for special editions of This Morning from 20th March. If Dancing on Ice weren't the thing at the moment that's trampling on the couple's feet, it's editions of This Morning at times where they don't usually work! And let's bare in mind poor Phil's just sorted out his chest pain

Phil pays the doctor a visit

Following the pain he's been experiencing in his chest, as a good job poor Phillip Schofield booked himself into the doctors when he did. Because the chest pain was getting far too worse to be true. Although everything was OK for me, for Phillip, it was a different story completely, because the doctor requested him to lay on the bed, undid his shirt and pressed on his chest! It was the thing Phillip didn't want what with being in extreme pain! The doc later told him it was nothing to worry about and sent him back home with some tablets, which, to Phillip's amazement, has worked wonders on the pain he had in his chest!

Cheesy jackets

Today in catering I made a flapjack with chocolate chips, and, first of all, a new idea was thought into the head today. To make two minature jacket potatoes filled with cheese and sweetcorn, with cheese sprinkled on the top. They were delicious. If you'd like to make them yourself, here's how:

Two Miniature jacket potatoes filled with cheese & sweetcorn, layered with cheese on top

You will need:

1 jacket potato

1 knife to cut them in half

A microwave

A small bowl

A fork and a teaspoon

Selection of flavours: grated cheese, corned beef, sweetcorn, onion...

What to do:

1. Take a piece of kitchen roll (or hand towel) and a jacket potato

2. Put in fork holes at either side of the jacket potato, cover it with the hand towel/kitchen roll

3. Put in the microwave for 5 minutes (it will come out hot, so you'll need a small bowl to put it in)

4. Unwrap it from the hand towel/kitchen roll piece and cut it in half.

5. Holding it in with the hand towel, scrape out the filling of each of the pieces of jacket potato and put the filling in a bowl.

6. Mash it up with a fork (well).

7. Select your flavour, put it in the bowl with the potato filling you scraped out earlier and mash it up so it's well mixed.

8. Put the pieces of jacket potato (the shells in other words) in a plastic silver tin while you put in the filling you mashed up with your selected flavour (for example, I chose cheese and sweetcorn)

9. Make sure you pat it down flat so it won't overflow or drop out

10. Sprinkle a bit of grated cheese on top of each of the jacket potatoes, covering the mashed up filling you put in five seconds ago

11. Put in the oven for 20 minutes on 75*c (gas mark 5 I guess), then leave to stand on the baking tray until cool enough to collect to eat.

Now follow up flapjack recipe: (I got the wrong flapjack in the end though).

You will need:
*Brown sugar
*Honey or golden syrup
*butter or margarine
*Scales
*A bowl
*An oven
*Chocolate chips (depending if you want them in)
*Porridge oats

Method:

1. Weigh out 1oz butter into the bowl (make sure the scales are on 0 before doing so)

2. Then weigh out 1oz brown sugar also, then put in the golden syrup or honey (as much of it as you require)

3. Microwave it for 1 minute so it's like a runny mixture

4. Mix it well.

5. Add in the porridge oats, followed by the chocolate chips, and mix well.

6. Once all mixed, pour it all into a silver tin (start off with half of it then gradually tip it all in)

7. Flatten it down so there's no lumps with a back of a spoon

8. Put it in the oven for 30 minutes, gas mark 4 (I think), 175*c

9. Leave to stand on a baking tray and make sure it's completely cool before collecting

10. Eat it

Leave your comment stating how helpful you found it!

Danny's out!

Props week has proved 'carnage' in the past, but this year, thankfully, it's proved a lossage. Gary Lucy, Hayley Tamaddon, Daniella Westbrook, Kieron Richardson and Danny Young had to skate with not only a partner, but a prop. And make full use of it. Of course, Holly & Phil, the judges, and us viewers were in for a surprise. Hayley came second and Danny once again got a something.5, but as usual, one didn't get any further, and as luck would have it, Danny Young has found himself in the skate-off with Kieron Richardson. They got one vote each, but eventually, the result was seen as the rest of the judges voted to save Kieron and he skates into the semi-finals. While Danny hangs up his skates. Tah tah, Danny!

Change of username

As you all know, I have been so bored and tired of my 'louiseolver' user name, that I thought it was time to freshen up. I decided on something that resembles I'm a dancing on Ice fan, something ending in 'Fanatic' I'm that crazy about it obviously. I erased 'louiseolver' out of the username field, typed in 'Ice_Fanatic' and it came up 'available!'. To my surprise it was. So I thought to stick with it as when I had the 'louiseolver' name, nobody can actually tell I was a Dancing on Ice fan. So here's an announcement: Don't go sending tweets & DMs to my old username!

Strange MySpace status comments

Yesterday I was e-mailed of three MySpace status comments whom other people on MySpace had added after me. Trouble is they were quite strange. They were saying stuff like, lol, is this you??, ur highschool pic, Is this you?? and you're on here... all of which had links that, when I clicked on them, presented a fake login page on MySpace. And was there photos of me? Indeed there wasn't, so somebody was tricking me.... They also looked like they were poisonous links, so as a good job I didn't actually log in to the page they presented me with. Now if anything of that stuff occurs again, I will be contacting MySpace!

Emma goes into labour!

Disaster for Ray Quinn. Because the DOI champ 09 was out shopping, came back to his girlfriend Emma Stephens slumped on the door. The baby had well and truly started, and Emma showed that with her panting, fluid gushing down her legs and her 'urggh's. Worried Ray dropped the shopping bags and phoned his dad, who was over like a shot and took Emma to hospital, where all in one piece she gave birth to Ray's first baby son, who she's named Tom, at 12:23pm. That's just after dinner time! Poor Ray just grabbed a sandwich!

Cheese grater's a hindrance!

As mentioned in Hell of A week, I've got three cuts on my fingers - one of which I did using a cheese grater grating the carrot for the carrot cake on Tuesday! Well word of advice - don't use this side (pictured) of the grater while grating something, because it can be a hindrance! And I've learnt that when I've cut the side of my right thumb. Grating the carrot, although there was just a little bit left, I was determined to grate the lot of it, but it kept catching my thumb the grater was so sharp. In the end it actually sliced a bit of skin off my thumb, and I'm left with an open cut which, when I catch it, absaloutely kills! Especially if I try to get something off the floor and I catch the slit end of my thumb... Bleeding nora, it really kills! And there's a lesson I've learnt: Be careful when grating something when it's towards the end!

Not exactly the dancing queen!

Today in John Rooks's lesson, we were asked to a Miley Cirus dance. Well first Tony Foster was, then Jess Saiger asked if anyone else would volunteer to learn the dance! I got up, feeling shy but did it anyway. Although to some people's point of view I wasn't exactly the dancing queen! I didn't do too bad on the slow version, but when it started to get fast I had to have my wits about me. I tried following the steps. ....Countrify it, polka dot it... I did canny good, but I need to go to a dancing class, because I'm a real crap dancer!

Kieron's new girl!

Yet another ice romance has occurred. Forget Strictly. Hollyoaks bad boy Kieron Richardson has fallen in love with Inbetweener Emily Atack! The former Dancing on Ice contestants started their relationship sharing a hotel outside the NTAs and have recently been snapped holding hands walking back to the hotel! Since their partners have gone astray, Kieron's moved in with Emily and the pair are set for their very first romp! Forget Jeremy Edwards & Gemma Bissix together since last year - here's yet another skate date!

Tuesday 9 March 2010

Ben & Coleen sleep together!

This sounds weird, but Dancing on Ice Friday hosts Ben Shephard & Coleen Nolan have become a TV couple alongside Phillip Schofield & Holly Willoughby, and it's no surprise that the TV twosome end up flopping into bed together! After one stint on Loose Women when Coleen proudly exclaimed she was falsly engaged to Ben - Well now something else has came into the limelight as word gets round the pair have flopped into bed... Their partners aren't very happy about this, seriously!

Noka's missing!

Thought we'd publish a post about this before it actually turns up, but something has happened that's proving quite a mystery. The Nokia 1600 phone (formely Noka) has vanished out of the total blue and without me knowing! Been searching high and low, in every room, even downstairs and the bins, but it's never been found. If the truth beknown, it may of sprouted legs and gone off on holiday somewhere and here's me, in a world of my own, too much to think about, not even noticing that it's gone! Until I reach for it for a texting-self session and find it's not there! I'm not looking in dirty bins because I know for a fact it won't be in them, but it just might of sprouted legs and gone off on holiday without our company for a break. Nevertheless, I hope it turns up soon, because I'll need it to set a reminder for Dancing on Ice on sunday!

Sunday 7 March 2010

Mikey's out!

This week was Dancing on Ice at the movies, which meant the 6 remaining celebs had to skate to songs from films! We had Danny, who had two sprained wrists after packing a punch, topless, Daniella in the (umph!) pink curse, and Hayley delivering a massive powerful performance which gave her sixes across the board! But, as ever, two had to compete again.... And it turned out the pink curse almost made it's return as also this week, after finding herself up against Emily Atack last week, Daniella Westbrook found herself in the bottom two again... This time with Mikey Graham! They both performed again, we kept our fingers crossed, but it turned out Daniella skates into next week. Which sees another lad on the off! That was what Ronan Keating didn't want... But we didn't want Daniella to go home neither.... Ta ta, Mikey!

Mum's the word for Emma

Dancing on Ice 2009 champion Ray Quinn revealed last year that despite having a rumoured romance with Maria Filippov (which has turned out false), he's always to this day wanted a baby with his sweetheart, girlfriend Emma Stephens, who he's been dating for longer than 5 months. Infact, she plays Sandy in the version of Grease in Piccadilly theatre which was live last month. Well now we're delighted to announce that Ray Quinn is going to be a dad! Last week, Emma bust into tears of joy as she took a pregnancy test which confirmed the result! Mum's the word, Emma!

Hayley does us proud!

Yes, that is just what we've wanted to see... Not to mention been waiting for. Hayley Tamaddon achieves her highest score yet skating to Jai-Ho from the film Slumdog Millionaire. She did exactly what she did in training, pulling it off, and instead of her normal 26.0 that she's got in previous weeks, she's got sixes all across the board! With that, she will definitely pull through tonight, and talking of Ray Quinn who did it last year and Suzanne Shaw in 2008, she will definitely win and skate into next week (or we hope so anyway)! Hayley, could we just say, come the final when they ask you to do your previous routines from earlier in the contest, go, do this week's, because it's agreed the best routine yet Hayley's ever done!

158 followers... Will it stay there?

It's getting there! I've got 158 followers already on Twitter, but I can bet my bottom dollar after I've published this post and shut the computer down, I'll look tomorrow and I'll be down to 156, and if I am, I won't be a happy bunny, because I'm going to presume rubbishy Twitter is being funny again. If it's not T-mobile saying 'Repeat that again' everytime I ring up about a phone enquiry, or Yahoo saying 'I understand you want to stop spam landing to your e-mail address', it's twitter being funny with the follower count. Now, as it stands, I haven't heard anything further to my comment on a support thread, but other than that I JUST HOPE TO GOD IT STAYS TO 158! Because it did that a few days ago, and I couldn't fatham out who unfollowed... Anyway, whoever follows then decides to unfollow wants to think themselves downright lucky they get a follow back!

Change of heart

Concerning the fancy blokes, I always go from one to another and there's been so many, it's impossible to list every one of them in a single post! What with Brandon Flowers, Phillip Schofield, Phil's back-up system fella Dan Shipton, Dancing on Ice series editor Glenn Coomber, Gary Barlow, Gregor Fisher, Chili Pepper Chad Smith and Gino D'Acampo, well now, it seems I'm taking a fancy for another bloke. And just tweet Phillip Schofield, he'll tell you he knows him quite well. It's his surgeon who gave him lazor eye surgery last year when he decided to say bye bye to glasses. A quarter of us are following him on twitter. Yes, you know who I'm on about. The lovely Dan Reinstein, who is Phillip Schofield's eye surgeon. Appearing to be so good looking, I don't know whether he's in first place as it stands!

Phil gets into the habit of singing in the shower!

Phillip Schofield can be a funny man at times and, fan of Take That, you'd never expect Holly Willoughby's boyfriend to be singing a Take That song in the shower! But he does, and it's to much amusement to Holly Willoughby! But Holly knows by now Phil's a real Take That fan, and he's even been to see them live on their Circus tour when they promoted the album and got to meet the lead singer Gary Barlow! But when he's asked which song is his favourite, Holly susses out by the words that he's singing a ballad they released back in 1993... And he's only delighted to tell her: "Pray". But what's made Mr Schofield get into the habit of singing Take That's Pray while in the shower?

Twirl or Wispa


There is sometimes I can't decide which bar of cet to have first, and stuck between Twirl and Wispa. In the end I decide to open the packet of twirls and leave the wispas til tomorrow. Nevertheless, I'll need them incase Hayley Tamaddon doesn't survive another week before the final and then I'll have something to comfort eat with. The twirls are better consumed first anyway, because the wispas are to irrisistible

Another recipe

I wasn't in an able-like state yesterday to publish a post about the biscuits I made, and now I've forgotten almost everything. But I made three chocolate with chocolate chips muffins today and thought I was going to have all six (but I ended up working with a member of staff and I was made to share them). You will find the recipe and method below, after 12 hours sleep all day I'm now in the mood for blog updation.

You will need:

*80gr plain flour (sieved)
*85gr brown sugar
*Sieve
*Coca powder
*200ml milk
*1 egg
*1 measuring jug
*1 tablespoon oil
*And not forgetting the bowl and chocolate chips

Method:

1. Sieve 80gr plain flour into the bowl

2. Weigh out 85gr sugar (make sure the scales are on 0) and chuck it into the bowl.

3. Put 1 tablespoon coca powder into the bowl with the flour and sugar

4. Put in the chocolate chips

5. Whilst you're doing that, weigh out 200ml milk into the measuring jug, followed by your 1 tablespoon oil

6. Put the egg in after while mixing the milk and oil

7. Chuck in the milk and oil (all of it!) out of the measuring jug, and mix well with a spoon until you've got a chocolatey goo texture (meaning it's like chocolate goo)

8. Get out a muffin tray and put in 6 cake cases (because you yourself needs 3 and the partner you're working with needs 3 each).

9. Fill each muffin case 3 quarters full, nearly up to the top, with the chocolate goo in the bowl you made earlier. Do this with the same spoon you used to mix.

10. Put them in the oven 25*c (for about 50 minutes or longer) until they've risen up like cakes and then lift them out and put them on a cooling tray.

11. Put them in a bag (or, if you're at home, leave to cool) and eat them later

..The result is three chocolate chip chocolatey muffins you can't wait to eat (sadly you work in pairs and don't have 6 all to yourself)

Twitter account hacked... Again!

Why is it always me who ends up into the gate of misery? First, I terminate my account I have with Yahoo because of endless spam and the shitness of costumer services, next I get an e-mail off twitter about changing my password AGAIN because there's been concerns that my account has been hacked and/or compromised. Well I did tell you about the hacker sending dirty filthy DMs about sex to nearly all of my followers.... Well it's happened nearly three times now and twitter are having to reset my password then request me to change it. Passwords associated with This Morning and the ipod are proving far too obvious, so I've tried a password this time with Phil & Holly's name it instead followed by four numbers and the '&' symbol, then I shall see where that gets me. If hackers still find out this password and compromise my account again for a 4th time, then I'm going to have to take appropriate action!

The dreaded pottery assessment

Now something really made me wish I'd have been at the college last Thursday other than getting the blood test done. Because today, last lesson, I was asked to do another assessment (AGAIN! I Did one just five month ago). But every once in a while in pottery it has to be done, so us, as students, get the hang how it all works (such as preparing the clay, rolling it out, making a simple pot, etc). So, for something different other to a coil pot, I decided to make a rectangle shape pot, with the corners folded over. Then, before I went home, I was asked to dip half of it in white slip, then clean the work area, wash my hands, put my pot to dry... This is one piece of work I don't want to do when I leave!
