I bought these two things in a christmas market bootsale thing. 50p each! The massage bar is from lush and smells so sooo lovely! shea butter, cocoa and apparently honey but I can't smell it (good as honey makes me heave) The lip balm is interesting, it won't work but it's one of them things that I had to buy..
I saw this book in the cancer research shop 2 weeks ago and really thought it looked interesting but thought 'you have too many books already so I left it there. I couldn't stop thinking about it all week, and went back next week and it was still there, so I nabbed it!
It better be good!

Bright colourful cupcakes I made for my cousins birthday. I'm quite proud of these bad boys!
I bought these for my secret santa who apparently loves Stars and Cath Kidston, so I thought these were cute and would incorporate the two.
But I love them.
And want to keep them! I got them from ebay so maybe I could get myself some.
Purchased from homebase. I liked it and it's the same colour as my room, plus it wasn't too expensive.
Christmas paper. It's the same with paper as with cards, I take a while to pick out what I like. Ah I love love Christmas!
Lovely ELF bits. When ELF have free shipping, Its usually the time I buy a couple of things from there. This time I bought the Translucuent (sp) powder compact, which works amazingly well! The undereye concealer and highlight (again works amazing) and my favourite thing, mineral lip gloss in pageant princess. It looks really pink but it's lovely and sheer.
Some of my christmas cards. Thee cutest cards indeedy. I'm such a perfectionist and I take ages to pick which ones I like (it's only once a year, so I want to get ones I really like)
(although I often pick the ones I like and find even nicer ones the next week)
Boohoo. Missed a picture. It's just way to dark to take nice photos :( It was supposed to be cherry shortbread. Ah well!
Taken at the Carvery where we went for dinner. It was super quiet (which is crap because the waiter people slow down even more and seem to do even less work than usual.. the 2 men waiting got a bit confused and thought they had to cut the meat and get the stuffing/yorkies themselves, which they did.. so they could have got 2 meals out of it as you're supposed to give your ticket in when you go to get the meat part of the dinner.. I can remember that for next time!)
Anyway, it's ok there. It's really cheap and the meat is nice, although it feels so weird when there's hardly anyone there. It's much nicer in summer, plus they have green beans in summer. I love those things way too much.
My new love is pickled stuffs! Onions and Cabbage especially. My aunt usually makes her own and we get given a jar but I wanted to do our own, so we bought 1kg of onions, and the vinegar stuff and managed to get 3 jars of onions. We've also done 2 jars of red cabbage!
Woop!
Some pages from the lovely cookbook I bought from Costco. It's a book of all older traditional british dishes. I've been wanting a book like this for ages, since some of the cook books I have can be a bit 'Americanized'. It brings back so many memories and includes things like shepherds Pies, Stews, Steamed Puddings and traditional roasts.

Instead of posting a picture everyday, I'm to do something different on a friday, whether it be a quiz, or my thoughts on something. Just to make it different and so i'm not posting the same old pictures as I seem to be doing lately..
So
Favourites
Movie: Amelie is my alltime favourite but there are others like little miss sunshine, the notebook, the holiday, forrest gump, eternal sunshine, the terminal, and on and on.
TV Show: too many again! Lost, Mock the Week, Gavin and Stacey, Outnumbered, Kath and Kim, Most sports, Reality tv (Celebrity Jungle, Strictly) The Family and any cooking show (esp come dine with me, ace of cakes and something for the weekend!) I watch too much tv so it seems.
Colours: Blue
Song: Too many to list..
Candy: Curly Wurlys (lovelovelove), maltesers, crunchies and I love pick and mix
Restaurant: Don't really do restaurants, although I love a carvery and chinese takeaway!
Store: Lush and Paperchase
School: Too long ago too remember
Book: The last one I loved was Addition by Tony.. something.. I think that's my favourite as it makes sense to how things are at the moment.
Magazine: I only read free magazines from supermarkets (I love them, I'm not ashamed!) I read the paper everyday though
Shoes: Nike trainers
It doesn't look so nice on my camera phone but it was yum. A chargrilled chicken, carrot, brocolli, celery, green bean, veg veg stew thing (well it was meant to be a soup but I was too lazy to whizz it all up!)
I was impressed with the little sample from lilylolo so I bought the bigger one. It's a little pricey but hopefully it will last for quite a while. You don't need to use a lot of it.
Another top I bought (I should really look for more trousers, as I only have a few pairs I wear? I hate shopping for trousers though) I think I like this top, I do but it is quite 'loud' I'm undecided.
I really want to like it, but something is stopping me. I don't like drawing attention to myself and I think this top might?
I'm selling a couple of the items lush sent me on ebay. This cream is lovely but it's best for dry skin and eczema and I don't have them.. so I thought i'd sell it and then I can buy something that i'd get more use out of. Good plan me thinks.
I bought this to wear over christmas I think. It was £16 or something, can't really remember and I had a coupon to get £3 off a £15 spend and then it was 25% off, so it worked out so much cheaper, which is cool.
Kitty cat. She's taken to either sleeping on my bed on a towel or inbetween my parents beds, squeezed in by the headboard on the pipes that run underneath the floor. Strange little thing.
Freebie nail varnishes with glamour again. £2 magazine = £10.50 nail varnish. Bargain. I like the darker colour, although I probably didn't need to get the lighter red but it was a bargain!
I complained to lush (not complained really, I made it sound nice!) that I was disaapointed as one of their products turned me a lovely shade of yellow (think jaundice) and they wanted to send me something to restore my faith in them. I received all of the above.. pretty insane.. :/ but so lovely of them. They are the best company in my opinion :D
When you eat this, it pops in your mouth. I didn't know that until I was eating it and I thought my mouth was exploding or something..
A present for some friends of mine who have just bought a house together. Super cute me thinks :]
My cute cute cuuute paperchase tree decorations. I love anything and everything from paperchase and I think my christmas tree will be even more festival with these on it. I'm definitely getting in the christmas mood :D
Kinda halloween cakes, but they don't look that scary really. :( I saw so many cool cakes after halloween but hey ho, they tasted nice!
I went to Westfield, as it was their 1st birthday! and Westfield = lush. I love lush as a company, they are so friendly instore, so helpful and most of all, their products smell yumyummy! I bought tea tree water (good for the skin) lemslip buttercream (smells lovely, but I probably wouldn't repurchase it, i'm not sure!) and I got 2 free samples of things i've wanted to try, so i'm happy. And I got 10% because I had a voucher from my freshers pack.
I've started a little christmas fund for christmas stuff. I have £40 from stuff I sold on ebay, £20 from pennies I put in a pot during the year, and a £10 voucher from doing surveys. I'm going to sell more things on ebay, and have another voucher coming before Christmas.
I went to see 'Up' with a friend of mine, in 3d, on orange wednesday so instead of it being £10.95 each, it was half of that. Really cool film (even if we did miss the start because of a slow friend, the longest queue and the stupidiest person at the till. It was a really touching film though, very lovely and cute!
I bought this from poundland. It's supposed to be like bio oil, maybe not as good as the real stuff but it's only £1. Might be worth a shot, although I think bio oil does a great job for the price it is.
We went to the zoo today, I will post pictures tomorrow! It was super cold even though it was supposed to have been warm, so it wasn't really the best day out as we didn't get to see tigers (sad times as I love tigers) rhinos etc. It was mainly reptiles as they were indoors and it was lovely and warm! It was good though, just coooold!
