Trains. Some people love them, some people hate them; hate the public transport system, the over pricing and the service: we all know British trains are ALWAYS late.

Not a single train was late.
And I got super cheap prices too!

Crazy Things At Uni

 Reverting back to my studenty side, last weekend my boyfriend and I decided to make vodka gummy bears after a recipe I'd seen online recently (see below).

We bought a bag of Haribo Gold Bears and the Smirnoff that was on special offer.

  • Empty bag of bears into bowl.
  • Pour vodka over to completely submerge them.
  • Leave for about 24 hours, until all the liquid is gone.
The bears will puff up and some may be a bit harder than normal in the middle, but they are great.
WARNING: They will disappear very quickly! (And you'll be drunk but that doesn't really matter!)
