Good evening Little ones! How have you been today? I've been planning essays, buying the last Christmas presents and chilling with my friends. As you can tell by the title I also had quite the feast, rather delicious I must say! Less about me, what did you do today? Please let me know I love talking to you:). 

Anyhow, if you want to see what we created then have a little look down below and enjoy, might give you some inspiration, (of just make you very hungry). 

There is going to be no structure for this blog post, hope you don't mind! This wasn't even meant to happen. There was a discussion between my boyfriend and our friend Levi that I've never had egg soldiers, (I have now); but they were ever so shocked. So we marched over to Marks and Spencer's just for eggs, but by the time we got to the till we had more than what we bargained for. We left with: bacon, sausages, bread, numerous spices, beans and mushrooms. I knew then that this wasn't going to be any lunch; it was going to be a feast, especially when Levi is in town.

We arrived in mine and Chris's apartment and our stomachs took over. Our kitchen turned into a full work station. It was like a cooking programme broke into our home! We were speedy and efficient. We put everything to practice and created a beautiful and tasty meal. As you can see there is a large amount of food, in which no one finished. It was a great laugh, a few friends nattering away, letting the day pass by.
I love being adventurous with food, as well as spontaneous plans, I never expected this, but knowing Levi, you have to expect the non-expected, (it's a good thing).
On the other hand, it was the first time that I had tried venison sausages, and at first I liked them, but taking several bites the flavour became too intense; but I'm not a massive meat eater in the first place, when I'm not being vegan I'm a chicken girl through and through.
Some people may not agree with my choice of eating, vegan some days and not, but it's the way I want to live now, there are days where I do intense gym training, and I need meat; tofu doesn't help me as much. But you will see some vegan recipes soon Little ones, so don't you worry!
I'm currently writing this, a little intoxicated since I've been drinking with my friends, but non the less I'm happy and healthy. Plus I'm cooking some good and healthy food, which will also be on the blog shortly! I'm sorry for rambling, but I love reading blog posts that are personal, I hope this has the same affect?
Oh something else I'd like to mention, is that I'm going to start vlogging this month! It will be just after Christmas! It will be on my YouTube channel, won't be anything speical, it'll be like my blogs, but in a video form. If any of you have any suggestions on what you want to see me do, then I'll do it; I don't mind I just want to make you happy, you are my Little ones, and I appreciate you do much; and that's NOT the drunk me talking.
Anyhow, I better rap this up, I've been trying to finish this for a while, but gaming came into play and I couldn't stop, so here I am now writing this at 10:30.
I love you all so very much! May not be the best content I've produced but it can't be the worst! I love you all so very much, I will see you soon with another blog post! Stay safe and stay tuned Little ones! :) x x x

Good evening! I know it's very late, but this has been toying on my mind for a couple of weeks. I thought that it was about time to finally let it out and tell you what I've experienced in the hope that you can relate; and that I can help people; because you aren't alone ... People get treated like this and it sucks.

If you want to read my personal experience on fake friends, and how to deal with it have a little read below :).

What is a fake friend?

• Fundamentally, from my personal experience a fake friend is someone who isn't always there for you. For example, if you are having a bad time at work, school, home etc. they support you when they can be bothered, if not at all. They are "too busy" to deal with your problems; which could be the case; but a TRUE friend would give you time out of their day to make sure that you are happy and healthy. 
• A fake friend is someone who won't make time for you ... You are always free and wanting to see them, but they always have something going on; they have to walk their dog, they suddenly aren't feeling well, they have made other plans and forgot etc. Which again could be the case, but they always have an excuse to why they never hang out with you. I would know, I was trying to make arrangements with someone for nearly a year. 
• A fake friend is someone that pretends to understand you, for example they will sit there and pretend they are interested in what you have to say, for them to talk about their issues of their successes and rub it in your face. This is one of the most hurtful aspects, simply because you believe in yourself that you can not only trust them, but think that they actually care and respect you; when in fact it's all a lie.
• They use you. A fake friend will use you for: your time or money, for example, if they are bored, or they've been cancelled on they will suddenly contact you out of the blue and ask if you can meet up. They are using you for your time as they know that you will come running. I know from my personal experience this was always the case; I would message my friend, constantly reminding them if they were free; or when they would like to see me; but it was always, "I'm super busy" ... But they would change their mind a few hours later if their other plans failed. 
• Fake friends lie to you, this has happened to me on so many occasions, for example if I had wanted to see said person, they would use the common excuse, "I'm super busy", "I'm at work", for me to find them on social media chilling in their back-garden ... Oh yeah, "super busy" alright. 

My experience:

In my 19 years of existence I have come into contact with MANY fake friends. It's something that happens to everyone unfortunately. In regards to my experience it's been an emotional  roller coaster, I've had my ups and downs, being ignored for months, and then for them to come back into my life like nothing happened. Some people have really messed me up, and think that it's ok because I'm "nice". Taking advantage of somebody because they hold a lot of patience is cruel and upsetting. On the other hand, it has taught me life lessons. One being, be careful who you trust, for example I had a really close friend, I thought the world of her, I told her pretty much everything about me; and she left without a word or trace. I learnt quickly that everything she told me was a lie, if she cared about me that much she wouldn't of left. I learnt that I have to be careful who I trust; I'm an open book I will talk about anything; but personal details about my life stay enclosed to people I really love and care about. 

In addition to this, I have also learnt to let go, you can't expect everyone in your life to stay, you have to be prepared that some people do leave and you have no idea why. Don't blame yourself because it's not you it's them. They are the one mistreating you, you don't deserve this backlash. If someone does leave, don't be disheartened, remember it was them and not you; if you know deep down that you did nothing then don't blame yourself, it's not worth the sleepless nights and panic attacks; believe me I learnt the hard way; some things happen for a reason. And your reason being that you can find a true and proper friend :). 

How do deal with it? 

When I was going through this my first port of call was to question myself. For example, I would draw a spider diagram, put questions in the middle and pin point what I thought was the route cause. The questions were as followed:

• What happened for them to go off me?
• What have I done?
• What haven't I done?
• What are they like?
• Why have I been making all the effort and not them?

If you can answer these questions with confidence and analyse them clearly, and you come to the conclusion that it's not you it's them ... Then you are right. You do not need to blame yourself because it's not your fault that they are behaving in such a cruel and selfish manor. 

I cried. A LOT. It's healthy to cry and let your feelings out, you have been betrayed by someone you thought cared about you; you deserve to cry! Don't be scared to either, I was at first because I thought I was being ridiculous but I wasn't. I wrote down my feelings and spoke to my mum and Chris. After explaining the entire situations on both sides they reassured me that it wasn't me, it was them and I should stop putting so much time and effort into that person who isn't worth it.  

Little one's you are not the route cause of their behaviour, they can only change when they want to; so stop blaming yourself because it;s not your fault. I've stopped blaming myself, I've stopped crying and caring for that person, because you are so much better than them :). 

If you have a fake friend in your life and they have not left, then leave then and give them a CLEAR explanation of why. That way they are not left in the dark, and they can reflect on their bad behaviour and change in the future. 

Thank you for reading this blog post, I really hope this helped; I know for a fact that this would have helped me a few months ago; because I was going out of my mind. If you need any reassurance or comfort I am always here to talk to, you can use my social media below or personal email to contact me; whatever you are comfortable with :) 

I love you all so very much and I will see you tomorrow morning with my first give away blog post :) Stay tuned and stay safe :) x x x
