30th December
Ah beautiful camera case. It fits my new camera like a glove and is so smart and swish, I love it and super cheap on ebay. How shops can charge £25 for it I don't know..
Wee I love it!

29th December
Just a random picture of my nails.. I was playing with my camera on the night setting to see how it worked..
28th December
I have crappy chappy lips at the moment because of winter and it being so cold so I was in the poundshop the other day (I love them) and saw chapstick. Probably one of the oldest lipbalms there is and thought it might be worth a shot. Not expecting much but I haven't had chapped lips since buying it. I got strawberry first and now have the apple. :]
26th December
These are actually from the 25th. Just a few of the more random photos from christmas day. Dinner table, complete with the crapiest crackers we've had, christmas socks and the best game in the world!
25th December
It's CHRISTMAS DAY! :D and friday..!
1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate – egg nog is americany weirdness!
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Presents have to be wrapped! Whats the point of buying a present and not wrapping it?!
3. Coloured lights on tree/house or white? Gold, I like a traditional red and gold tree :]
4. Do you hang mistletoe? We did one year and had crap luck that year if I recall correctly, so we don't anymore
5. When do you put your decorations up? About 2 – 3 weeks before Christmas. I love how warm and homely it makes the house feel and we (ok I) always buy something new each year
6. What is your favourite Christmas food? Well people always moan about having turkey but I love turkey. Malteaser celebrations and cheesy puffs are always good too :D
7. Favourite Christmas memory as a child? Hmm a few. I got a pram one year and my mum told me that the box was empty and it was full of bottles (why this is a favourite I don't know) but I remember being so happy when I opened it and the pram was there.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I just got older I guess?
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No no, Santa wouldn't have bought them yet
10. What's your favourite Christmas song? 'Bring in the Calvary', 'driving home for Christmas' or 'I wish it could be Christmas everyday'
11. Snow: love it or hate it? Love it, who doesn't love snow?!
12. Can you ice skate? Probably not!
13. Do you remember your favourite gift? GHDs! I like all (ok most) of what I get :]
14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Family, food, buying things for people.
15. What tops your tree? A gold star
16. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Both! :D
17. Favourite Christmas movie? Miracle on 34th street, ELF, Love Actually, The Holiday, Home Alone
18. What do you leave for Santa? We used to leave milk, a carrot and mince pies but we're a bit too old for that now..
19. Do you Travel at Christmas or Stay home? I prefer to stay at home really. I love setting out the presents and cooking in my kitchen :]
20. Do you do your own Christmas baking? I like to make mince pies, biscuits, Christmas pudding, sausage rolls, pigs in blanket, Yule logs, and we did pickled onions, eggs and cabbage this year.
21. Are you still wrapping presents on Christmas Eve? Hopefully not, but I actually like the idea of leaving it until the last minute to wrap.
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? People panic buying the weirdest things in Tesco like Brussel Pate. Who would want to eat that seriously?
23. What do you want for Christmas this year? Snow!
24.Have you been naughty or nice this year? You'll have to ask Santa that..
24th December
Some christmas eve photos of food goodies (which tasted better than they look btw..) although chocolate always looks good..! I was using my brand new lovely lovely camera! it was too dark though and I was just figuring out to use it but it's awesome, and blue!
22nd December
(Apparently) £49.99 reduced to £9.99. I love the royal family, I watch the repeats all the time, so I thought for that that price, it was worth buying :]
21st December
I got a voucher in the paper for £5 off anything in bodyshop, so I bought this ^ spray, which is normally £6.50, so it cost me £1.50!
20th December
I bought a couple of things for my sister for christmas and in superdrug they had a 3 for 2 offer, so I picked a freebie of this lipgloss that I resisted buying for such a long time (I have lipgloss, I don't really need more) It's toffee smelling (smells sooo good!) and it was free, so no guilt for me! :D

14th December
I made my first ever Christmas Chocolate Log (that I can remember) and it was amazing! Like seriously good especially the frosting.. mmm. We gave some to the neighbour and she loved it, so i'm going to make her one for Christmas :]
13th December
Present wrapping! One of my favourite parts of Christmas! It took 2 of us about 4 hours to wrap these presents and i've got way more than that to wrap up myself, so must remember not to leave it until the last minute.. :/
12th December
Din dins at the Watersedge and a picture of their tree. Which looked a bit sad really. Aww..
11th December - Friday Fun
8 Things I Wish I Could Do
1. Take better photos. I think I should be so much better at it than I am
2. Not worry SO much about everything.. everything!
3. Eat better.
4. Paint. My grandad used to paint lovely pictures and I think I get the want to be creative from him, but i've never tried it really. Who knows I could actually be really good at it!
5. Stop buying lipglosses and nail varnishes, but they call out to me..
6. Drive. The thought scares me a little but I think it would be great to have that freedom and I could drive to the beach then.
7. Go to Australia or New Zealand or both!
8. Have the money to open up my own bakery and smoothie shop. I probably could now but i'd lose it all in the recession!
9th December
A crappy photo of my tree! But it does show my new paperchase decorations, well kinda..
6th December
Asos had an offer spend £6 and get £5 off so I got a necklace, a candle and bubble bath for £6.40 instead of £11.40. But the bubble bath leaked over everything and the necklace was nasty! So I emailed them to complain as the bubble bath wasn't wrapped up or anything, and they sent me replacements, which was good of them. I sold the necklaces for £6 for 2 so I got 1 and a half bubble baths and 2 candles for free..
5th December
Me and my sister went to the Taste of Christmas at the Excel. I got free tickets worth £22 each. It was so much fun! It's basicially loads of different shops/foody online people showing you what they make and you can buy their produce at a little discount. There was chocolate, cake, biscuits, chutney, meat, drinks, crackers, sauces, tea, .. so much stuff and you got to try it for free! I bought some christmas chutney, christmas decorations, creme caramel and chocolate tea, and a present for my sister. We also got to see a few chefs doing demonstrations :] A good but tiring day.
4th December - Friday Fun!
1.Today I feel.. Christmassy as i've just made a Christmas Pud and been sorting through presents to wrap over the next week. Although i've just realised I need to buy some extra for my sister!
2. This week.. has been COLD but luffley and snowny! :D
3. Last night.. I watched TV, and hibernated in bed under the covers.
4. Lately the song stuck in my head is.. Jace Evett - Bad Things - I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!
5. What is currently at the top of your Christmas wish list? accessorize scarf, perfume, books, and a breadmaker. And Lush!
3rd December
I took part in a Secret Santa and my present came! :D I'm excited and i'm going to try my best to keep it for Christmas. Best send mine off actually..
2nd December
Still a while to go until Christmas but I saw this in a shop for a £1 so it had to be bought!
1st December
I've wanted to get this shampoo for ages. I've tried a few different Boots over the last 6 weeks but no one had it but I finally found it in Westfield (they were just putting it out on the shelves) and it was BOGOF! Win!

29th November
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..
28th November
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!

25th November
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.
24th November
Purchased from homebase. I liked it and it's the same colour as my room, plus it wasn't too expensive.
23rd November
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!
22nd November
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.
21st November
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)

20th November - Friday Fun!
1. Thought for the day: Stop being such a idiot.
2. Song of the moment: I quite like the song Jamie Cullum has at the moment, or the Paloma Faith 'New York' song.
2. Song of the moment: I quite like the song Jamie Cullum has at the moment, or the Paloma Faith 'New York' song.
3. Drink of the moment: Anything warm. My new favourite is green tea with pineapple and grapefruit, which tastes like lemon cake <3
4. Favourite snack right now: Monster munch.
5. Currently I spend too much time... Lost in my own world.
6. Do you have a "lucky charm"? Not a lucky charm but I do have a pink stone that I always keep in my bag. I got it about 15 years ago.
7. Currently reading? I can't remember the name... :/
8. Last movie you watched? 'Up' which was good, but it will never top Toy Story
:]
:]
19th November
Boohoo. Missed a picture. It's just way to dark to take nice photos :( It was supposed to be cherry shortbread. Ah well!
18th November
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.
15th November
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!
14th November
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.
<3
Friday Fun!
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
12th November
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!)
11th November
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.

10th November
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?
9th November
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.
8th November
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.
