21st July



We've been joined to Costco for a while and they are famous for doing hmazing cakes, but i've never tried them before as they are huge - too big for 2 people or they come in packs of 12. Again too many. But when we went last time theuy were giving out samples of the carrot cake.

Seriously seriously the nicest cake i've ever tried (even beats my own coffee and walnut amazingfantastic cake) The cream on top tasted like kinder chocolate and the cake was lovely. Even better than the carrot cake we used to get from tesco years ago which they stopped making. I want more!

(the picture doesn't do it justice)

20th July



I bought this orchid last year, and had it in my room but it it died rather quickly. We kept it and put it on the bookcase at the top of the stairs and a few months ago it started growing again. It now has 5 flowers and is very pretty.

19th July



Weird face banana cake! This scares me too look at it.. It's low sugar though which is good as my dad can have some, although when you say low sugar to him, he sees this as you saying 'you can eat it all within a day' which then raises his sugar level..

18th July



Another hipstamtic photo (still my favourite ever app!)

17th July



Homemade quiche. I think it was mushroom, ham and cheese and a bit of tomato :]

17th July

16th July

A nice thought for the day

15th July



Some random things I bought on folksy. Some things are a bit eh to be honest and the thing I liked most was the free oatmeal and honey soap which smells amazing (still doesn't beat lush though). Ah well you win some you lose some.

14th July



Pretty colourful sprinkles on a fairy cake :]

13th July



My sister told me about this. It's a journal that you have to basicially 'wreck' by drawing over it, dropping it, bending it, etc.. It gives you instructions on each page of what to do with that page and I thought i'd give it a go too as it sounds quite fun :D

12th July



I've wanted to buy this top for a while, and even tried it on twice before, but it seems a bit price at £28 (this is what happens once you buy clothes at primark) I got emailed a voucher to get £10 off a £20 spend because I voted on a father of the year competition (thank you peter andre) It made the top just £18 so I purchased it.

11th July



Another product to try and get rid of spots. I don't have many at the moment *touch wood* but it does get me down when I have them. This cream is supposed to be rather good (dont I always say that though?) so i'm giving it a whirl..

10th July



A lily in the garden!

A screenshot from flickr showing how many views i've had. 30,000 is something I can't quite get my head round, but yay!

8th July



I don't think I need to write anymore about this..

7th July



The sweets on the left are a bit yuck - better if you have a cold when you take them but Sula sweets are so yum. Especially the butterscotch ones. I heart them.

6th July



A pretty rose in the garden. I love flowers growing in the summer :]

5th July



I think these are tomatoes? or potatoes.. I can't remember. We have tomatoes, potatoes, courgettes, runner beans and something else I think growing in the garden. Oh garlic!

4th July



Cheap cds from the market. 5 for £10 woop woop! The eminem and plan b ones are mine, the other cheesier ones are my dad's.

Bootsale bargains. 3 magazines for £1 and they are new ones. Good stuff :]

David Beckham at Wimbledon, watching Andy Murray, who lost.. Whupps.

4. Currently enjoying: The Shaytards on youtube (so addictive!) and trying to take more photos.
5. Song of the moment? I like Watercolour by Pendulum and Airplanes by someone I can't remember, and the song is a bit shite but the girls voice in the chorus is lovely.
6. Are you a trainers or high heels kinda gal? Trainers. I hate heels really. I'm more much of a shoe person at all though
7. Last movie you watched? Erk.. haven't watched a film for ages!

I love wimbledon, and it's been great so far. This game went on for a crazy amount of time - about 11 hours. Pretty incredible that they were both still standing at the end.

23rd June



I have a constant battle with split ends, which is due to hair straightening so the new product i'm trying is by Lee Stafford as I've heard some great things about it. Fingers crossed it makes a bit of a difference.

22nd June



Thw world cup. I love big sporting tornaments! A lot of pressure gets put on England to do well, which I think is a bit crap in my opinion but hey ho.

21st June



I am very obsessed by recipes and cookbooks. I wish I wasn't. I want to make whoopie pies though :]

20th June



Weird photo but this programme was amazingly lovely yesyes. I love animals more than (some) people.

19th June



This is a nice thing on a particularly shite day. I bought itunes vouchers and the bag they were in got stolen (i'm saying stolen as I'd feel worse if I just left it in the toilet as I might have done..) so the vouchers were gone as were other birthday presents. I felt shite for the rest of the day and it ruined birthday surprises :( Anyway, the lush sample is of their new soap, which wasn't out until monday but the nice lush manager Dan gave me a secret sample :]
