Last bank holiday weekend of 2014 done and dusted

This weekend was nice in some ways and not so nice in other ways. We had 4 whole days off which was pretty nice. I’ve tried to space my holidays well this year. A week off at the end of June and a week off at the end of September, and I just found out today that Matt has had his Christmas holiday approved. I’m so excited about that as from the 19^th December I will be off until the 2^nd January as long as my holiday is approved but I can’t see why it wouldn’t be! That is 13 whole days off in a row (only 6 being holiday days so yay) I am so crazy over Christmas I seriously cannot wait! I really feel like this year will be a really good one!

I was feeling pretty meh about the summer coming to an end as I was rather enjoying it so! But now we have had about two weeks of cooler weather and about a years’ worth of rain in the last 2 days I think that I am feeling a little more accepting of the autumn that is fast approaching (only 4 more days left until it’s officially here). Slowly the jumpers and warmer clothes are creeping into the shops and I couldn’t help myself but try a few pieces on! Both are from Debenhams (blue one is Red Herring and the Grey one is H! by Henry Holland)

So I am a little more excited about the seasons changing although not so much about this wet weather we have had. I got this rain mac 2 weeks ago after a very long painful relationship with it haha! I ordered it back in the spring/summer and it came and was too big so I sent it back and never ordered a replacement as I was racked with guilt (moneywise). I then reordered two sizes the 12 fitted better but the sleeves were too sort and then I decided £35 was just way too much for it and both went back. Then they slashed the price to £17! I spent all morning torn whether to order it AGAIN! I ended up ordering 3 macs all in the sale and annoyingly enough I kept the pink one I had been debating with for soo long ahah! I’m terrible sometimes at make a decision, I think it is the fact we are saving all our money at the moment I didn’t want to waste it!

But here it is in all its glory and it is great, it is actually completely water proof and it’s darn comfortable, I just wish it was more portable, but then I would most likely lose the water proofness of it that way!

So anyhow, I am trying to save up hence why the jumpers are just on my wish list at the moment. I would like to have a few for winter so we shall see I guess. I did pick up 3 cardigans in Forever 21 the other day (I returned the asda ones in previous post) as the the forever21 ones were much nicer and I got 3 for less than the price of two!

I also thought I’d mention the fact that I am getting rather into Anime at the moment! We watched Toradora a few weeks ago and I fell in love. We are watching Clannad now and I also have Black Butler going along side that too! There have been a few more Matt has got me to watch but I can’t remember what they are called but I enjoyed those too. Tonight I plan to get in make dinner (as I am starving marvin) and watch back to back Clannad. We gave in last night and ordered pizza hut. To be honest way too much pizza hut and I ended up with a pretty lame stomach ache. I’m not used to eating that much food especially when it is that greasy too lol. So chicken, mash and some veg I think my body will be appreciated of it! All this Anime watching is getting me even more excited about MCM now at the end of October!

It's getting sooo cool outside!

Well summer has left us! I am hoping it will be back and will grace us with its warmth again for maybe a couple more weeks. ‘Arctic winds will plunge parts of Britain into the coldest spell of August weather for almost a century - just in time for the late summer Bank Holiday.’

It has been a bit of a shock to go from 20°c+ to about 12°c. There is a really bitter cold feeling in the air! I have struggled all week to get out of bed as I have been FREEZING and been wondering around wrapped up in a blanket refusing to get out of it for those few moments where you are all exposed to the world. I suppose I should suck it up because it will just get colder from here on in as August is fast coming to an end, so autumn will soon be on our door steps.

With this sudden chill in the air it got me thinking about some warmer clothes. This summer I have been happy in a t-shirt and a skirt or shorts for my more casual wear. I love my dresses the most but I like to have a selection of casual clothes, not much fun putting on a fancy dress to sit in bed all day, or go to Tesco..and hoodys are the best for evenings at the cinema!

My style over the last year has changed a fair amount. I wanted to wear jumpers and what not this year but to be honest I can’t find any I suit, and not to mention I feel quite uncomfortable in them! :(

So I think this winter I will stick to my new hoody (that fits well rather than a big cover up) and I also invested in some cardigans for chucking over my t-shirts!

I actually came up with a pretty cute school girl look with some cardigans!

I think they are pretty cute little outfits that will look nice before the winter actually comes around. Means I don’t have to put my t-shirts away completely till next summer :)

I am a bit strange with clothes. It’s a bit of a control thing I like to have everything planned and ready to go. I like to know exactly what I am going to wear through summer or winter or whatever season and I also like to have a style kind of and stick to that. Hence why I end up with same clothes in lots of different colours!

But as I said above I do hope we see a few more warmer weeks before autumn comes completely, hopefully a few more shorts and sandals days!

I’m getting excited about heading off to France soon. Just wish I had a better idea of the weather as that would be very helpful as I LOVE TO PACK and plan to pack but at the moment it is hard to plan as I have no idea what the weather will do! I’m hoping for cool dry days maybe 15°c to 20°c that would be spot on thank you very much!

I have also started a birthday list bwahah, currently it involves a coat from my Mum and Dad (yes I have a coat problem, but I SWEAR this will be the only one I get this year and I will sell at least one old one!) and some shoes from my sister. I know it’s a bit early but the shoes were in the sale and I couldn’t afford them as I am saving saving saving and the coat was just sooo lovely I couldn’t leave it behind heh he!

This week is a short week and so is next week as I took Friday off and it is bank holiday Monday too. So two 4 day weeks and a 4 day weekend yay! Let’s hope today goes quickly and it is Thursday evening before I know it!

Quiet few weeks gone by and a head!

So life has not been overly exciting

I knew August would be a fairly dull month for me as we don’t have anything planned. We didn’t even go to the cinema this weekend, shock horror! There was just nothing we wanted to see playing so we decided to give it a miss. Matt however went and did airsoft! I was really proud of him, it can be real intimidating going somewhere you don’t know on your own with a group of strangers. He said he had a great day and wants to go again! So I am really pleased about that. However he looks like he has chicken pox with all the welts on his legs and midriff! Ouch. I spent the day on my own pottering around and doing house stuff, like tidying and the washing. Pretty boring but had to be done.

I have actually booked the 22^nd of August off and I am looking forward to a 4 day weekend yay! If Matt can get the time off I want at Christmas I still have 2 days to use somewhere and if not I will have a whole week off to use somewhere… not used to having actual holiday to use. I hope he gets the time off at Christmas because that means we will have 13 odd days off together, a whole 2 weeks almost :D fingers crossed he can.

As for holidays I am VERY much excited about going to France now. I am actually getting a slight autumnal feel…. I am not ready to say good bye to summer yet, but the shops are swapping shorts for coats and the nights and morning are DEFFINTLY getting cooler. But I am honestly enjoying summer this year and I don’t want it to end yet!! Not until mid-September anyway!

I started getting all my little bottles of stuff ready for my suitcase, I am also excited at the fact you can take two bags onto the plane now, so I don’t have to fart ass around mashing it into my case. I did look up times though and realised we have around a 4am start D: 4 FREAKING AM…… We have Euro Gamer on the Saturday so I am thinking maybe making myself get up at 7am on Sunday so I can fall asleep around 7pm to get up at 4am CHRIST that is soo early hahah! But it will be worth it when we are in France! Yay!

I have however been slightly more productive this last few weeks and I have got two designs up online! I have one for my pure excitement and joy of summer! Ice scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

I also finished this squirrel one that has gotten me in the mood for autumn! Cooler days and darker nights! Although I dread dropping Matt at the station in the dark again boo that sucks.

The bank holiday weekend though we are seeing Doctor who in the cinema, and we are also seeing both Sin City films in the cinema…. Pretty stoked about these. Then it’s only a matter of weeks until we have some time off yay!

I hope the rain clears up here and I can get some more of that vitamin D!
