I'm currently in my final year of university. The end of the year was not good, my Grandad was seriously ill and in hospital and a couple of months later, he passed away. This time I carried on living down in my house as I didn't want to have a whole year of not doing anything as I knew it would end up with me quitting and not going on to do my second year. So second year came round and I was so nervous as I was a year behind than my course friends

Anyway, for today I thought I would do a post on a challenge I am taking part in this month. The British Heart Foundation is an extremely good charity and carries out lots of important research and I definitely eat too much chocolate so why not make some money for an amazing charity whilst making me a bit healthier? BHF is a good charity after all and giving up chocolate for a whole month is definitely going to be a tough one! !

I do half this icing recipe as 500g is a whole box of icing sugar Then in a separate bowl cream together the butter and sugar and then add the flour and sift in the cocoa powder. It is easiest to use an electric whisk for this part but you can use a spoon if you don't have an electric whisk! Then use an electric whisk to whisk together to make the icing nice and fluffy.

I'm going through a real crappy time with my mental health at the moment Things started off fairly badly, I didn't particularly like/trust my new therapist and felt she didn't understand me but things are much better now. If I'm honest, I'm not sure its helping much at the moment and if anything it has made my mood 10 times worse and the past couple of weeks I've felt the lowest I have for quite a while it is pretty shitty. Each week in therapy I'm having to do things that make my anxiety sky high and get horrible physical symptoms and then after that hour I'm somehow just meant to go back to uni and get on with lectures and the crazy amount of essays I have to do.
