To make all your breakfasts christmassy! One of those tacky 'why did I buy this?' things but its supporting the heart foundation which is a good thing in my book.

18th December
So the laptop is actually completely dead. The next step of action is to write to Acer and tell them in a very pouty way that im not happy (Surely laptops dont just melt like that, it could have caught fire or something) But ill leave it until after christmas..
17th December
These are supposed to be tree biscuits that look like christmas wreaths but I think i've failed in my mission to make them look good. The stars came out better but I didn't get a photo of those.

14th December
I have actually bought other people presents, other than my mum. I think this is cute and will look nice under the clock in the kitchen. I was debating saving it for mothers days. I'll nbeed to add up what i've spent but im impatient and march is ages away!
13th December
I love different teas now, especially fennel and green teas, but I have quite a few and they take up space. But I got this from lidls and its perfect! Stores hundreds of teas, withou nasty boxes taking up cupboard space. Happy days!(I was sadly really excited about this. I love it)
12th December
Christmas santa man thing. I think it was a present from an Aunt a few years ago.And matthew wrights show on in the background!
11th December
A sign I bought from sainsburys for 2 whole pounds, it was half price aswell. I like it.
9th December
Normally people get advent calenders on the 1st, but I didn't get one *sniff* so I bought one half price today.And that also meant that I had 8 days to catch up on!
Clever me!
7th December
I bought this nougat for my mum just to see what it was like (We're on the hunt for the kind of nougat you could get at the seaside. Different flavours covered sometimes in chocolate) Anyway, this was on a website and I ordered some and she loved it!So I've bought some more for christmas, aswell as some diabetic sweets for my dad and I just happened to buy a few things for me too!

6th December
A bit of the christmas tree. We have lots of different decorations so I'll probably just post them for the next week. :]
5th December
The Christmas tree went up today. One of my favourite parts of christmas is getting the tree out and putting the decorations on it :) It has that christmas smell.I'm a kid at heart still at this time of year.
4th December
This makes me feel christmassy! Homemade mince meat for mince pies. I can't stand shop bought ones. They are either too dry, too sweet, too much pastry. Homemade ones are winners!
3rd December
Laptop = dead keyboard, dead mouse, dead usb, melted a little more = a unhappy louise :(
2nd December
Selling some things for the neighbour again, but nothing really sold except for this coat. I guess that's the credit crunch for you I've kept the rest of the stuff to many try in the new year!
1st December
Managed to get this game for my mum for christmas, she hopefully has no idea we have it as I keep saying we can't get it anywhere.. And I cheekily bought 2!

29th November
Awful phot of christmas presents. I didn't want to take them all out the bags though..
28th November
A cake I made for my little cousins 6th birthday. Apparently she'd seen one in a cake shop and everytime she went shopping, she wanted to go and look at the cake. So my aunt asked if I could make one, which we did and it turned out great!It's a sponge square base covered in green butter cream to look like grass, decorated with little flowers. The dress is made from sponge cooked in a basin type dish, covered in apricot jam and rolling icing. I pipped all the pink bits (which i've never done before)
The doll is cut in half, well the lefts popped off quite easily and the bodice was made usign rolling icing, although i've just noticed her right boob is lower than the left! It was a boob job went wrong.
Cool though. half the price of a shop one and she loved it :)
26th November
Oh they came out the wrong way round. The bottom photo is when the lens is at 55, the top is when it's at 250 :) I didn't test it out much further than that, as I want to leave that until Christmas but it works :)
25th November
Eeee! lens! This is what santa is kindly bringing me for Christmas. It took a bit of searching to find it. I planned to get it from a shop in London and the day I went to order it, it was out of stock. We called them and apparently its a popular selling lens and they sell fast.And they sell fast everywhere else because I couldn't find anywhere else that had stock. I eventually did, it was ordered and here it is. Happy days!
24th November
Mmm apple pie. I do make a good apple pie. I don't understand how people buy shop bought pies and things when homemade ones are so much more tasty. I even did a little decoration on it and everything.
23rd November
Christmas cards. I picked our certain ones in Boots but they never had them so I got these instead :) I'm unsure about them, but hopefully they will spread christmas joy to everyone who receives one! Or something.
22nd November
Awwww I love my scarf! I've always wanted one and they are sold everywhere but I wanted a certain type, one like from accessorize but they are normall 15pounds. This I spotted on ebay, after much looking and it only cost 4pounds, and it's keeping me toasty warm this winter :D
21st November
These aren't the decorations for the tree that I meant, but they were cheap in tesco so they should look cute on my christmas tree :)
20th November
I got a little tree for my room last year but I thought I'd get a bigger one because they aren't too expensive. This one was just 3pounds from B&Q (although I probably could have got one for cheaper if I waited) and I've seen the decorations in their I like and the tinsel yay!
18th November
I'm not actually half way through this book, I actually finished it. It was really good. Dorothy Koomson is a good author and I'd like to get the rest of her books :) I may have to pay a visit to the chairty bookshop and have a look for some.
17th November
This makes me smile :) My grandad bought me this ring for Christmas was I was younger, maybe 10 or 11 years old? I could have been younger even. I had forget about it but I was looking through one of my mum's jewellery boxes and I found it.Crazy thing is that it still fits, it might actually be a little too big so I either had really large hands for a child or I have tiny hands as an adult.
16th November
Aww Narnia. I remember watching this when I was a kid and my sister bought me the videos for it a few years ago, but they must have got taken to the charity shop because I have no clue where they are. Anyway, this dvd for it came free in the paper! So I got to watch it again :D
13th November
This is fruit :/ Um I thought the colours were nice and vibrant but it's actually just a picture of oranges and they are actually evil because they make me face do weird things. I love them though, it's a shame.
12th November
My second Christmas purchase - lovely wrapping paper. And it was part of a 3 for 2 offer so I got it cheaper!
10th November
My first Christmas purchase. I thought I could divide them up and put them with some peoples presents, or maybe eat them all myself because they are cute snack size and mostly guilty free?
9th November
Glamour magazine was doing another one of their specials - Last time they had a free benefit lipgloss on the front of their magazines. This time they had nails inc nail varnishes, which are about 11.50 each or something crazy. I managed too get 3 of the colours, so that's 6pounds instead of 35ish! They actually did have the other colour too, but I felt bad buying all 4!
8th November
Eek this picture looks awful on here :( or just awful in general? It's lemon meringue pie and it was pretty deliciious, well the topping was. The base bit could have pulled your teeth out.
7th November
My laptop has died so I'm having to use the other one to update my blog and things. I can't tell if the photos are too dark and too light as the screen is really different from mine, not too clear either but it's all I have at the moment so.
We went to see Russell Howard, it was so funny! There was chaos getting there, but anyway, less on that. It was so funny, my cheeks hurt the next day from laughing!
