- Your favourite quote

I have a couple I like

'Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring'

'When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.'

Aw lovely costco. I love costco. They sell amazing cakes, although we've still yet to try any because they are so huge. I just want a tiny bit of all of them. Costco should do that! Anyway, we went to the reading one and I would like to move there. Not to costco (although maybe I could get cake that way hmm) But reading seemed so lovely, and clean. And there is every shop there possible, and a lidl, morrisons and crown carvery!

16th June

A long wait in outpatients at charing cross. The delay was 40 minutes, then an hour although we were there for about an hour and 15minutes. Fun times.

15th June

I love this. I've been looking a bracelet for such a long time (a very long time!) My wrists are tiny, only childrens bracelets fit me and they usually have fairies on them on something.. I found this on notonthehighstreet.com which is amazing website! it's sterling silver, adjustable, and I love it. The lotus flower has meaning too. It was shipped the day I ordered it and I got it the next day. You can't beat that :]

The sellers are Lily Belle (the box has LB on it, which is great too!)

My lovely cleocat. It's sad though because she's an old lady now, she'll be 17 this year and the past few weeks we've noticed that she can't jump up onto the sofa properly because I think her back legs are going. I know she's a cat but the thought of her not being around for much longer or thinking that she might be in pain is so upsetting. I know she's happy because she still purrs like a trooper but sometimes, she seems so sad. I ty not to over think it because I get upset.

13th June

A victoria sponge cake with fresh cream, jam and strawberries. It tasted SO good and it's all so lovely and very typical quaint and english

12th June

More fairycakes (I keep calling them cupcakes, but i'm english and they should be fairycakes!) I also attempted making icecream cone cake.

The batter is put in a flat base cone, about half way up with buttercream put on top all swirly and ta da - it looks like an icecream. Next time I'll put more mix in, about 3/4s of the way full so it rises higher and buy some of those flakes so it looks like a 99 icecream :D

- A hobby of yours



I love doing crosswords. Well more kriss krosses and codewords. Keeps the brain active and all that in my old age!

10th June

The world cup is starting soon so we put our rather large flag up on the front of the house. We've still yet to see anyone with one as big as ours. We have another hanging from one of the bedroom windows, one on the shed and bunting on the fence. I love it.

We also went to the watersedge for dindins but it was a bit crap. No green beans, just bendy carrots (I like em chunky) and peas and sweetcorn. Eh. I was tempted by banoffee, but my fussy annoying self prevented that from happening.

9th June

Chocolate flavour leaking fail. Boo. And the cherry did too. Boo x2. They are apparently sending me replacements for them though..

8th June

I'm selling a few things, including this, which I love so much but it's too big for my little wrists. Hopefully it will sell and I can use the pennies to buy a bracelet I have my eye on that is a wee bit more expensive.

7th June

All the magazines at the moment have freebies and these lipglosses are free with 'Red' magazine and are worth £14 each, which is pretty crazy. I don't believe in paying silly amounts for make up when there are cheaper alternatives avaliable (although I do dream of owning a mac dazzleglass one day, just the one)

I bought the lighter colour and it was so lovely on the lips, I bought one of the others, and the magazine is pretty good too.

6th June

A present from a friend. :]

5th June

My first attempt at a zebra cake. I used a box mix as they are more runny than sponge cake mix and put cocoa in one half. The idea if to pour a spoon of one mix in the middle of a cake tin, and then the other mix into the centre of that, until the mix is all gone. I think it turned out pretty well!

4th June

- A photo that makes you happy

- Amazing animals
- The weekend before my birthday
- With my sister

Happy days :]

3rd June

My 3rd lot of antibiotics. The first upset my stomach, the second upset my stomach and gave me nausea and sickness, so these are the 3rd and I'll be on these for 2 weeks. Fingers crossed they actually work this time.

2nd June

My last 3 purchases with ebay have all been a bit of a disaster. Firstly I got sent a cardiggan in the wrong size, then flavourings I ordered leaked and then a hardcover for my iphone cracked on the edges. Hopefully that's the 3 and no more!

1st June

More of the cute! They only stay still when eating carrot. It's the sweetest thing to watch :D

30th May

Due to a lovely infection i've picked up in my incision, and having no dressings, I've had to buy them myself. Luckily they are 8 for £1 in poundworld! They also do butterfly things and sterie strips. Amazing. I knew it was getting infected, and not just weeping like the nurse said. I wanted to hit her, I still do because all this hassle could have been avoided much earlier.

29th May

A coffee and walnut cake I made my aunt for her birthday. Probably one of my favourite cakes. Then my neighbour saw it when she popped over and pretty much drooled over it, so I made her one over the weekend.

28th May

Friday friday

1 - Favourite film.




Easily Amelie, which is the most wonderful film ever. I won't try and put into words about it, just watch it. :]

27th May

Out for a walk in the sunshine, finally. It was lovely :]

26th May

A new recipe book holder. I have one that i've been putting recipes in but they are all coming upstuck, so i'm going to write them inhere instead. I thought the cherry design was very apt :]

25th May

Apparently pastel nails are all in fashion this summer, so i'm sporting a bably lilac colour, which I think is pretty :] I remember pastels being in summer when I was about 14 so it's funny how trend come around again. I have baby blue, mint green and a baby pink too. All I need is a nice yellow one but i've yet to find one that doesn't make me look like I have cigarette fingers..

24th May

This photos shows my dedication to Lost. It was being shown at the same time in the UK as the US to avoid spoilers, so this meant it was being shown at the very early time of 5am, so I got up, made a coffee and sat down to watch it.

It was good, a little confusing but then again it has confused me since the start. It's strange to thing that it's the end of it completely. I miss them already, especially Desomnd, and Hurley!

23rd May

Hipstamatic makes the prettiest blue skies look scary! Ah I loves it.

22nd May

It's rare that I ever reach the end of a lipgloss as I have quite a few.. but I actually managed to use one up. It's lovely, toffee flavoured and feels lush on the lips. I won't repurchase it for a while though as I have others I need to use up first.

21st May

I love this app, I'm trying to figure what the best lens/film/flash combinations are but it's fun to learn.

20th May

Garden flowers. It's been so lovely and sunny out and it's making me a little sad that I can't go out and take photos, but hey ho :]

19th May

A get well present full of some of my favourite things, including white mice, jazzies, dolly mixtures, jellybeans, chocolate raisins, mini eggs, bons bons and fizzy cherrys!

Nom!

18th May

I love my iphone a lot but I'm sadly (very) addicted to solitare. It's quite a seriously addiction i'm developing.

What any 28 year old does of an evening yes?

14th May

Sadly before I went into hospital, my pickle hamster died. Really sad as he was so cute and adorable. It felt a bit strange without him so I bought two new hamsters.

I was going to get just one but when the woman at the pet place asked if I wanted a pair, I said yes. Not too sure where that came from really but anyway, 2 hamsters together is super cute! I named them Biscuit and Poppy, both girls about 2 months old. They are very shy but it takes time for them to settle in. They are also scarily fast!

13th May

This tastes lovely, so so good, but I don't think it's worth the £4.50 lush charges for it. It's basicially just sugar, vaseline and a sweet flavour, which can be made for a fraction of the price yourself.

So thumbs up for the taste, thumbs down for eveything else!

12th May

This makes me smile everytime I reach for a sweet. Bought from the (overpriced) cybercandy place in in Covent Garden.

11th May

See what I mean?

10th May

Probably the start of many many cake related photos for the next month as I won't be doing much else!

9th May

Boo too podgy feets due to water rentention. I hate it and it makes me feel sluggish and pretty yuck, but If I move more, I hurt. I can't win!

8th May

A stitch I pulled out of one of the drain holes. Ah lovely.
