Niamh West: Well this is my first attempt at blogging and to be honest I don't know what the heck I'm doing . This year I've decided to set myself a few challenges, one of those being getting into the world of blogging! I was trying to think of how to describe the blog, but I honestly don't have a clue , I think it may just end up with me writing about any old nonsense in my head, happenings in my life and the challenges Ive set myself. Well a little bit about me, I live in Essex with my partner, love the usual going out and about, especially if it involves a cocktail or two, sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm nearly 40 and not an 18 year old. I currently work full-time and study part-time with the open university, which keeps me busy, though I normally spend most of my time moaning about how much I hate my course!!.
