20th August

The only really warm day since the hot day about a month and a bit ago. It was supposed to be 30c but I actually felt cold :/ That's summer over and done with apparently..

19th August

I made chocolate eclairs for the first time. They are pretty simple (or seemples!) to make, and tasted loverly. And my cat liked the cream :D

18th August

Sad times. A local pub near us got completely burnt down..

17th August

We went to costco (I love costco!) and apparently it's christmas time already in august!

16th August

Best part of going to the beach = nougat! You can buy it from the shops and stuff but it's from the beach and that makes it better, uh huh. It's still not the type that we used to get when we were younger. It was different flavours like strawberry, lemon, mint, chocolate, and had a very thin layer of chocolate around it. It's amazing but we can't find it anymore. Boo :(

15th August

I was going to take a proper picture of my lovely new bracelet but I never got around to it. So this is another phone photo (few more of them coming up, was getting a bit bored of the 'look what I bought' photos..)

Althought this is a photo of bracelet I just bought.. hmm.

I adore it muchly though.

14th August

Taken waiting for the bus at the bus stop. A lovely sunny day indeedy.

13th August

My cat has developed a weird love for plastic bags, and for sleeping on them. She's really rather random..

12th August

'Can we help you?'

11th August

I seem to have won another prize? Must have been my lucky week!

10th August

My obsession about cookery books continues.

The donna hay one.. well I saw this in sainsburys about 2 months ago in the reduced section. I thought ok I probably don't need it really, it was about £4 so I passed on it. When I went back, it was pushed right to the back, it was looking sad alone and very beat up and was not £2.52. I had to give it a new home. It had been reduced 4 times. Poor thing.

The other book I saw in tkmaxx and is really similar to the first donna hay book I have. The photos are amazing. My dream is too have a big book case full of pretty cook books :]

9th August

Yumm yum yum! Homegrown tomatoes! You can't beat them and we have loads growing.

Weeeee:D

8th August

Nope I haven't been spending more money. I won these and I actually really wanted them so yayayayayay! The brush is so soft, and i've yet to try the complexion perfection but it does look good, so I will give it a whirl soon.

7th August

I finally got a new cross trainer and it's the one i've wanted for a while. My old one was knackered and broke, but the one I really wanted was £200 new. Bit too pricey and the cheap ones looked so flimsy.

I searched for ages and finally found one selling on gumtree for £80! So we went to pick it up (from the nicest person ever, she was so lovely!) and here it is.

It's so sturdy, very heavy!! but it does the job. Plus it's a elliptical and stepper in 1. I did 30 minutes on my first go on it, and I really enjoyed it :)

6th August

A framed photo of one of the photos I took at Santago for my cousin because she loved my photos and mention wanting one blown up, so we surprised her and did it for her birthday. Looks cool and she loved it, which made me smile :)

5th August

I bought this and the first book in a charity shop. I wouldn't mind giving them a read but i'll take ages knowing me, so I sold them for a wee bit of profit on the ebay. Thumbs up!

4th August

I'm so annoyed because this photo makes me laugh but I somehow put the setting on camera to economy so all the photos are of it are fuzzed until I realised a few days later. Duh.

Don;t ask why I take photos in the toilet.. Hmm.

3rd August

Most random photo award goes to this. My wrinkly blue toes in the bath! :D

2nd August

We've always had lavender growing in the garden since I can remember, although i'm not the biggest fan of the smell (give me a heady head) but my mum loves it..

1st August

More sweetpeas, some lavender and a pretty yellow rose. I love summer flowers.

31st July

Sweet peas from our garden. They smell pretty and look pretty too. lovely jublee :]

30th July

I was just on one of my random walks and took a picture. I'm trying to take random pictures when i'm out and about. I want to get a little camera that I could take around in my bag but the smaller ones = more expensive, even used ebay ones. So maybe not. This random person got in my picture though :(

Doesn't ealing look dirty though?

29th July

It's difficult to take a pickle because 1) he never sits still for longer than half a second and 2) he does this :D so cute though.

28th July

Oh oh this smells lush! It's like the body shop creams that cost crazy prices, like £12 for a pot. This one is from Primark and cost me a whooping £2 and it's lovely. It leaves your skin feeling soft and there's no grease. Pretty darn good for £2, so I went back and got a mango one too!

27th July

More proof that my cat sleeps anywhere!

26th July

Big scary grey rainy sky!

25th July

A post dedicated to the wonder that is oatybars. These are so lovely! the milk chocolate ones more so than the white ones but these are just so tasty and not sticky like some cereal bars :] I'm yet to try the strawberry ones yet though.

24th July

HELL YEAH!!

23rd July

The new book i've been a reading. So far it's great, I love the way it's written and i've read a lot already.

22nd July

I went to see Harry Potter. It was pretty cool as i've never seen a HP film at the cinema. The special effects were incredible but on the downside it was a bit too long and there didn't seem to be much point to the film except that dumbeldore didn't. It was a bit of a filler film? It was cool though :)

21st July

My dessert! Didn't take a photo of the actually pudding as it was eaten too fast!

20th July

I bought this but im a bit hmm if I really like it? I can't make my mind up. It was only a few pounds so at least it wasnt expensive but I'm just not sure on it..

19th July

18th July

The veggies in the garden have surpassed our expectations. We've never grown anything more than tomatoes and herbs I think but this year we had 26lbs of potatoes, or kilos.. can't remember but there was so many!! We've had about 20 courgettes and the carrots are sprouting too. They aren't huge but hey ho. Now we have the tomatoes coming through and they are so tasty! We're also growing salad leaves, raddishes and peppers :]

17th July

Chocolate is always good, but unfortunately i'm not a fan of the dark stuff. Give me a box of malteasers anyday!

16th July

A random photo of my foot!:D

15th July

Just a little make up bag that i'm putting my nail stuff into.

14th July

(I realise i'm mostly taking photos of what i've bought recently, i've just not had much motivation to take photos of much else and the weather hasn't been fabulous to head out and take photos. Hope this will change soon!

Just some jammie bottoms and a coconut body scrub. I love coconut but these smells nasty although it didn't in the tube.. :/

13th July

I've stocked up!

12th July

Hopefully this will go up on my wall very shortly. It's very pretty and suits my room I think :]

11th July

Without doubt THEE best crisp in the world! They even beat monster munch and steak Mccoys. If I was in prison and on death row, I would have a prawn mayo sandwich, with these and a peacan twist from marks as my last meal. Well to start with. The list is long!

11th July

Some new shoes. I like them a lot although they still hurt my toes. Humpf.

10th July

Some left over veggies from dinner. I did actually eat all my dinner, these were left over from my second helping of veg! Nom nom nom.

9th July

Cute ring which I love (pardon the pun) although i'm a bit peeved that i've found a ring finally that is perfect and it's making my finger go green. Will have to try clear nail varnish!
