Yeah, that title probably isn’t going to sit too well with Mum’s out there. I apologise profusely if it offends you, however, why should I say sorry? I’m 25 and I’ve not had kids yet. But why do I feel like I feel like I might as well bear child? That’s where social media comes in. Everyday I will scroll through my Facebook feed of loving, adorable snaps of people’s kids, and then some more kids, oh and here’s another baby for good measure, ”Oh would you like baba with that ironic photo too?”
The Ice Cream Van was a MUST! I argued this point to every Tom, Dick & Harry who thought it was a stupid idea as the desert. In the end, everyone handed it to me. It was a great touch! Alex from Sweet Scoops was absolutely adorable and possibly the cutest little bean I have ever met. The whole thing just suits her down to the ground.
She had decorated the van with our wedding date and our married ‘’Mr & Mrs’’ and even played music as she came down. Everything about it just made me a little giddy kipper (more than I am normally!)
The ice cream flavours were the delicous Yorvale brand and it was so tasty. We had sorbets and ice cream flavours so there was something for everyone!
Sadly Mr C could not manage an ice cream (despite telling me everyday before the wedding he was going to eat 100!) as he was busy being a little bit sick after eating too much blue cheese from the cheese platters! (This makes me really sad that he spent some of his wedding day with his head down the toilet!)
What did you do on your wedding day that made it a little different or did you have an ice cream van too?

Having just picked up my copy of Company’s April 2013 edition I was overcome to write a blog with regards to Lena de Casparis column about choosing to rent rather than buy.
I assume living in London is the epicentre of cool bars, chic nails bars & oozes that unique appeal but for those who don’t live in one of the most over priced cities in Europe I urge you not to give up saving for your dream home yet.
At 21 I broke the norm by buying my first house with my now fiancé. Pretty sweet huh? I never look back & think “what a mistake it was to give up renting.” It has given me a real sense of achievement & I never forget it. There are ways now that can help the first time buyer in whatever location you want. We were lucky with our beautiful little home in the countryside with great links to Leeds & Harrogate, two of the most uber cool towns in the Uk. Living on the golden triangle also makes it so much sweeter.
Our money is paving the way to being all ours and not dead money. We achieved this by buying a house on a shared equity scheme. We only pay 60% of the house price but its all ours. Luckily for these schemes we could put down a 5% deposit. This made it affordable and didn’t break the bank. We can enjoy life at the same time as owning a home. We are still holidaying every year, enjoy delicious meals out, I can get my nails done every month & we are saving for our wedding in 2014. So what I say to all you people out there is, buying your own home is not all doom & gloom. Just go over your options & make sure its right for you before you commit to such a BIG purchase. I love my home sweet home and so should you.
