I really should be revising for my exam tomorrow but I don't have the motivation. So, instead I have decided to share some of my latest kitchen exploits with you all. 

Sticky Blobs

Making Sticky Blobs: These little guys are so amazingly simple. They are just little round(ish) biscuits baked with a blob of jam in the centre. Now, I don't actually think enough people are reading this to warrant my posting recipes so I'm not going to bother. But these are very quick, don't call for anything fancy to make them and usually last about 6 minutes here in my flat.

Decorated Chocolate Cake: Just a basic chocolate sponge cake with some chocolate buttercream and magic stars on the top for decoration. Some of my flat mates have found this one to be overly sickly but that is what happens if you make chocolate cake with chocolate decorations!

Vanilla Fairy Buns:  Classic little buns with a spoonful cut off the top, fill the whole with butter cream and then but the part you spooned out into two pieces to make "wings" for your fairies. I have memories of making these as a child and having them at birthday parties and what have you.

Chocolate Top Hat Buns: These work very much like the fairy buns but they are chocolate and have "hats" instead of "wings"

We also had a bun making kit one night and made these little things which was a great fun, social activity that killed an evening.

*sigh*

So I failed at the regular blogging thing, I'm sorry. I got over excited after my Dalek Cake was featured on a Doctor Who site over on LiveJournal. (Sorry guys but I don't remember who you were!) Then after that a whole lot of other things happened and it was all a little crazy. 

I've been applying for graduate jobs a lot recently, been rejected by several now. It's a really competitive market, in the case of major supermarkets you have about 9,000 students applying for 20 jobs. So far my rejection list includes: Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Lidl, Aldi and Transport for London. However, I still have applications pending and I have an assessment centre to attend in February. So my fingers are crossed for that right now and of course for all my other pending applications. 

What else has been happening? Umm, I've developed a skin allergy to Evra, which is a bit annoying as other than that we were getting on very well. My Doctor, after more discussion about how I fail to take pills everyday, revealed that I have two options essentially now. Nexplanon, the new version of Implanon or Nuvaring. 

Personally, I'm not convinced by either, I watched someone having an implant put in the other day and it scared the crap out of me and I also have reservations about Nuvaring, yes, shamelessly, about how on earth people have sex with it, and also fears about it falling out etc. However, they were my options and I'm less scared of awkward sex than I am of needles and blood, besides they have a catchy commercial to remind me that it can cause heart attacks and blood clots!

So, for the next three months I'm trialling Nuvaring while I think about Nexplanon and try to forget the horror scene I witnessed at the surgery not so long ago. 

It is also exam time up here in Stirling, and I really should be revising rather than blogging. However, procrastination often wins. I have also played countless games of Robot Unicorn Attack on Facebook and made two loaves of bread. I'll get some pictures the next time I make some so I can show off.
