A Look Back on 2016




2016, what a year.
I'd planned so many big things, but face it, it was never going to be able to beat 2015!


So what did I get up to?

Well there was Newcastle Film and Comic con in March and November, Chinese New Year, Sunnycon, South Lakes Safari Zoo, my 25th birthday, my very first mosquito bite, Sunderland Illuminations, Fenwick Christmas window, finally making candy cane sleighs and sticky bow wreaths, Christmas trips to York and Beamish, and not forgetting my trips to London, Prague, Tokyo, and two trips to Disneyland Paris! I started posting one - two times a week on YouTube too! And I even cosplayed for the first time.

A few days after I came back from Japan, I became really ill, they diagnosed me with clinically isolated syndrome, and then in early December I was diagnosed with MS, but hey! i'm sure 2017 will be great wether i'm healthy or not and it definitely didn't ruin 2016 for me!


My highlights

Two trips to Disneyland Paris - one of them being the first time my Mam has ever been for Christmas, and our first trip together since the 20th anniversary!

Our second trip to Japan -  we stayed in a Donald Duck themed room at Disney's Ambassador Hotel and it was just the most amazing, cutest room imaginable.

First Cosplay - I cosplayed Hiro Hamada at a convention with my friends, we took a photograph together and its all of our banner photographs on Facebook!

Hitting over 100 subscribers on YouTube, finally!

Being organised and having Christmas all sorted before the end of November.

A Side Hustle Playing Video Games? - Swagbucks

A Side Hustle Playing Video Games?  It sounds too good to be true, but it's not! It can be pretty time consuming depending on which games you choose, but you'll have fun playing them and earn points you can use to trade in for gift cards for places like Tesco and Amazon, or even a direct Paypal transfer or prepaid MasterCard. Here is my game log from the past 30 days, that's a whopping total of  11,261SB, which is roughly £110, it's not always that high, it always comes down to which offers are available and if the game interests you enough to play it and complete the challenges, but money for playing games is a win no matter how high or low the value is! That was just 4 games, but Raid Shadow Legends and Star Trek Fleet Command are high paying, time consuming offers. But that is not all Swagbucks have to offer, they're also a cashback website and a survey website! They run regular Team Challenges and Swago boards where you can earn additional swagbucks or rebates b
