June 17th

This crossword pissed me off so much, as you can see from the amount of mistakes made. But I couldn't stop until it was done, so I wasn't in a great mood in the morning :p

Phew! 2 weeks of updates done except that Saturday, which is wrong.

This update was brought to you with the help of my delightful chavy neighbours indulging in a screaming match right on my doorstep. Music to my ears.

It's been somewhat of a tradition to have sunflowers growing in the garden since a certain someone brought me seeds one Valentines Day. These are this years batch, growing tall and strong, there are some more on the other side of the garden too. They brighten the garden up even more during the summer :]

A layout about Miss Cleo, showing her trying to hide herself in my bed :]

June 14th

Hah ok this was spotted on the back of a bus when we were driving home from Ealing, and it made me laugh so much!

The nearer we got to the bus at the traffic lights, the bigger his crotch was getting! So I whipped my camera out and took a picture

June 13th

I've heard a few songs from this artist about a month ago, I can't remember how I discovered him though. I couldn't find his songs anywhere, just on Myspace. So I took a look on ebay and ta da, it was on there and cost me a grand total of 5.70 so i'm happy with that! He's like Jack Johnson, even has the look of him but he songs more funky r&bish, where Jack is more laid back with melody. It's great though, just need to transfer it onto my MP3 now.

June 12th

Oh! I made this for my sisters friend who just had a baby girl called Neha. I haven't made anything like this before but I think it turned out pretty well and I love her name. I was just glad she wasn't called something longer though.

June 11th

Playing around with the settings on my camera phone, trying out black and white, sepia and so on. This one would be my favourite. I really do love my phone, I've gone from being a Nokia girl at heart to a Sony Ericsson devotee :]

June 10th

I'm so excited about this! I watched the 'Any Dream will Do' programme on BBC and the final was yesterday so today me and my mum brought tickets (well I wanted to go and my Mum was told to go) I think it's really sold out now, so we're lucky to get tickets. We are going in November and got some fantastic seats, so it should be great!

June 9th

Ok so i'm wrong somewhere. I got the chair last weekend, not the weekend before hmm :/ So maybe I don't have a picture from the Saturday before.

The chair in my room was becoming a little uncomfortable, especially when sitting at the laptop or scrapbooking because you ended up leaning forward and it was becoming a killer on the back. I found a great new one on Ebay but the shipping was a bit too high and we found this one in Tesco for a tenner cheaper. It's comfortable and spins!

Although I still have a back ache :/ that is probably from exercising though and i'm not giving it enough time to heal.

June 8th

Peas. No real reason behind these at all. I was just playing around with the camera and took a picture and I love the green colour of them, and there was no flash! I think I'm getting a bit better at it now :)

June 7th

I don't appear to have a photo for this day. Well I do and quite a few of them, but I can't post them. Ahem.

June 6th

Another layout, I'm not all too keen on this one though, I used a sketch that I used for another layout and the other one I loved so I think it's just that I'm biased towards that one :p

June 5th

This is my latest layout and although a lot of the detail can't be seen, I love it. Using the beautiful My Minds Eye papers again (which are all i've used for the last 10 layouts now) some chipboard alphas, stamps and lots of doodling, which is becoming one of my new favourite things to do.

This fan is awesome! The ones we've had before kinda just circulate the hot air but this is pure cold air and will be lovely when it's boiling (I hate summer)

Tesco 19.99 - fantastic!

June 2nd

Went out on Saturday morning to pick up my new new phone (the old one had an annoying spot on the lens so it got sent back and I found it a tenner cheaper in Argos and after phoning around, just 1 argos had 1 left and I managed to get it, go me!)

It was boiling hot so we rushed round quick before it started to heat up, looked in a few other shops (I was good and spent no money) and then headed home. This is just a picture taken from my old camera sitting in the car in Tesco.

June 1st

Latest layout and I think this is my favourite! It's of my sister when she was little, it's such a cute photo! and it all matches and i'm happy with it :] The buttons are my latest buy, they are really funky and I got them along with the alphabet rub ones, some flowers and the transparencies

May 5th

Photo from my phone I forgot to update with last month. Driving in the car and those humps on the right? They are apparently going to be somewhat of a tourist attraction and you can walk up to the top and I guess, see into London? They just look a bit weird too me..

oh but they were seen on the Katie and Peter programme, which I don't watch but I was channel hoping, and they were doing helicoptor lessons or something and flew over them. They look like two big boobs from above.

May 31st

I think I was testing out the settings again here, and I thought it looked pretty cool or something. Yeah. Hopefully I can get a bit more out my camera though.

I'd really love to buy one of those SLR cameras though, but that's a bit into the future I think :]

May 30th


This is my attempt at changing the settings on my camera. I changed the EV balance and the white balance (I think), didn't use the flash and it definitely worked. If I took that picture normally, the background would have been all black. The only thing with not using the flash though is that if you move your hand at all, the photo blurs, but hey, it's progress!

May 29th

This is what happens when you're a dopey cook and forget to put eggs in your lemon drizzle cake.

I'm such a muppet!

It kinda sunk and it didn't mold together we when it was cut it broke apart and it was too sweet, so it got chucked.

May 28th

I've had my camera for about a year and a half now and I've taken about 5000 now (I really have no idea how though) but I still really don't know how to use it too get the best out of it. I take pictures in daylight and they come out like it's night time. The camera is full of features though, too many really, it's confusing and I think it's time I try and figure them out.

Wish me luck!

May 27th

The so far progress of the kitchen. Next on the list is new wooden type flooring and new wooden cupboards, it's going to look swish!

May 26th

We're currently decorating the kitchen. The paper has been stripped off the walls, and new lining paper put up, today we started painting. The colour is called 'Rice cake.' Looks better on the walls than it does in the tub though, it's quite a warming colour

May 25th

Today is my Dad's birthday, and aswell as getting a super cool mp3 player from my Mum (we brought him speakers for it) We brought him a popcorn machine!

He kept going on about it and we made the 'oh you don't need one of those, where are we going to keep it?' excuses because we already got on. I wish I got a picture of his face when he actually worked out what it was.

It's great though, the popcorn is super soft, and air baked so it's healthy. It does have a tendancy to pop out everywhere other than in the bowl though, we keep finding kernels everywhere.

May 24th


The second is a close up of my stereo which actually really needs a bit of a clean, eww!

May 23rd

Nothing exciting, just the first picture I took on my new camera phone, which just happens to be a picture of my toaster. Woop!

May 22nd

I got a new phone! It was a bit of a stress actually. I've been with my phone company (o2) for about 6 years, 4 of them on contract with them. They are supposed to give you a new phone each year but this year they decided that shit customer service is now their way forward and not only put my contract price up but wouldn't give me a phone, which I think is pretty rubbish seeing as i've been with them so long.. They gave me credit, but even that has VAT taken off. Next year, I will change to someone else :] So I brought this lovely phone, it's great, does everything, has a great camera. My Mum is having my old one :]

May 21st

I've been eating healthy for the past 8 weeks, I thought it was time I cut out the crap and eat things that are better for me, and exercise too. I've been playing wii, jogging, cycling and then I found this in the shed which my dad used to use a while ago and it's great. Really tones the tummy muscles and i'll have a 6 pac in no time!

Ok maybe not..
