 A few weeks ago I went on a bit of an 'End of Summer' shopping spree and I wanted to take this time to share with you what I bought!

This is probably my favourite part of any haul as it can be quite random but can also be good at showing a person's personality. One of my favourite items I picked up was a scented candle from the Primark homeware section. If you saw my post I wrote at the beginning of last year about the Winter Yankee Candle range you will probably know how much I love candles so I always end up buying at least one every time I go somewhere.

I also picked up a couple of jewellery pieces from a few different shops. My favourites are a gold chained necklace (not sure on the shop for this one) and a few new Pandora style charms for my bracelet.

I know this was a fairly long post compared to most of the other posts on my blog so if you got this far well done.. and let me know what do you enjoy most about shopping?

 If you were interested in any of the items mentioned above I have provided links to the few that I can find below.

This is the 2nd baking post out of the 4 I have chosen to share with you in order to celebrate my 2nd Blog birthday! I first learned this recipe when I was still in school in cooking classes around 7 years ago and it has been a family favourite ever since.

What you need

Preheat the oven to 180°c (gas 4) and grease and line a baking tray

In a saucepan mix the butter and brown sugar together, stir until the sugar has melted but don't let the mixture boil (before you start to see bubbles)

Mix in the golden syrup and take the saucepan off the heat

add the porridge oats to the mixture and mix together

transfer the mixture from the saucepan into the baking tray making sure to fill spread out the mixture

bake the mixture in the oven for around 20-25 minutes or until the flapjacks have turned golden brown

once out of the oven keep the flapjacks in the tray until cool as this will help them to keep their shape and not fall apart whilst cooling

once cooled, remove from the tray and slice up ready to serve and enjoy!
