Hi Biscuit Breakers! I’m feeling spooky and in the mood for some Halloween prep. Halloween is only a fortnight away and I just love settling into the night and watching some scary movies. I think I’ve past the age of trick or treating, and parties aren’t really my scene. But I still like to get... Continue Reading →
Wicked:
A musical based on a book, based on a film, based on a book Wicked is one of my favourite musicals. It tells the story of Elphaba, a misunderstood green girl who ends up becoming the notorious Wicked Witch of the West and forms an unlikely friendship with the fabulous Galinda, the Good Witch of...

Behind the Mask
You don't know me. You came to me because I knew you. You found comfort in my integrity, my white suit, my blue mask and latex gloves which concealed the nails I bite habitually. I saved you from heart-breaking situations: cancer, leukaemia, and necrosis. I've seen thousands of people like you in my lifetime. It's... Continue Reading →
Take a Break…
And that’s exactly what I did… Again, I profusely apologise for my lack of posting. I was away on a fantastic trip in France with shocking WiFi, so despite all my best efforts to keep you all updated, I kinda fell flat on my face. Anyway! This trip took me away from all of the... Continue Reading →

Planning Your (Entire) Future
Hi Biscuit Breakers, As mentioned in my previous posts, I am currently at the time in my life where I have to look to the future and decide on how I’m going to live the rest of my life. Literally. I have the choice of going to University, getting an apprenticeship, or go into full... Continue Reading →
Film Review: Matilda
I repeat, who wanted to be Matilda? ME! This film adaptation practically cemented my love for little Matilda Wormwood and hatred for her eccentric parents. Danny DeVito you legend. As a child watching Matilda, it was perfection. I was scared, but not too scared of Miss Trunchbull and I hoped and prayed for a teacher... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Matilda
Who wanted to dress up as Matilda at World Book Day? Me. Who wished they could have magic powers from reading lots of books? Me. Who completely adored Miss Honey and wanted her to be my teacher? Me. Roald Dahl’s books were a huge part of my childhood. That and Enid Blyton books too. They... Continue Reading →
The Gingerbread Man
His eyes were like liquorice gems, His nose was as bright as a glacé cherry, His smile was painted on like icing, His hair was like chocolate sprinkles, His tie was as long as strawberry laces, His buttons were purple gum drops, His shoes were like soft dolly mixture, His skin was the perfect golden...
