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!

Back from France and back to work.

So my week off, my glorious week off I have been planning and looking forward to for months now has GONE, its passed and behind me. It is a horrible feeling. Its a Monday and the first day back today double wammy of shit. 

So now just to get through the next two weeks and I will have a 4 day weekend for my birthday....eeep I hope they go quickly.

So I will start with France and the weekend before. Left work a very happy girl on Friday. Went home then Saturday got up later than planned and had a breakfast at popin café. Me and Matt then bought all cake ingredients to make Ruxandra’s cakes as part of her birthday presents. That was a major caffale! But we got it all together and it took a fair few hours to make. But they turned out pretty darn good.

Butter Beer Cakes for a Harry Potter crazy fan!

The recipe came from here!

Now keeping in mind I have never baked on my own from scratch I think I did pretty good! I made the ganache too and the butter cream on top. It took longer as I made the cakes then the rest but I had to wait so long for the ganache to cool down, if I made them again I would do the ganache first as that takes the longest to cool.

Now I don’t like cake but I did rather like these. I couldn't eat more than one as they were so sweet and they made my teeth hurt a little but I did enjoy them! Ruxandra ate them all within a week and Matt put away most the ones I kept at home.

So overall I am very happy with them and it’s kinda made me want to try baking other bits and pieces now!

So the evening was lovely me and Matt met Luke and Ruxandra in a pub in Epsom. I was worried things might be strange with Ruxandra as I worried she didn’t really want to go but it was really nice. Food was good and she seemed really pleased with her gifts and I’m super chuffed as I didn’t think she would like them as much as she did! :)

Sunday was pretty boring the weather was naff if I remember correctly and then Monday rolled around really quickly. I was packed and ready had brunch/lunch and headed to the airport!

We got to France pretty late maybe 6ish in the evening and went to buy food with Matt’s Dad and Julie. We had a really nice pizza thing and chips and then watched a film and went to bed. Tuesday was a chilled out kind of day. We just sat indoors and watched TV. I’m kinda glad as I couldn't get rid of my headache. Wednesday was much of the same except we popped out for a little bit to a store and then we went out to a grill place and I had a lovely beef burger!

Then on Thursday we took a trip to a zoo. It was a long drive that made me feel pretty ick but it was worth it when we got there. There were animals I hadn't seen before like a bear or a panda. The weather even brightened up a little for us too!

I had a really lovely time there and we came home and had dinner and watched Unstoppable which I also really enjoyed. I woke the next morning and started to pack my bags in disbelief that 5 days had flown by :(

We didn't have to fly until 5ish again so it was a late flight. Had a big fry up brunch thing for lunch and it was LUSH! Soo good! And then we flew home. As we had to drive past Lakeside from the airport so we popped in and had dinner and did a little shopping so we didn't have to pay the toll on the way back. Then before we knew it we were home and it was the weekend again!

It was lovely just having time away and relaxing and also seeing Matt’s Dad and Julie. I know how much Matt misses his Dad at times. I think they are planning  a trip to England in October so we may end up seeing them very soon.

So this weekend was ok. Went to Croydon on Saturday bought a AWESOME adventure time scarf. Then on Sunday Luke invited us to a BBQ, That was a really nice end to the week. I like spending time with Luke and his friend was nice too! Wish Ruxandra hadn’t had to of worked but I still got to spend some time with her!

So as I said before I am on a count down until my birthday now! Two whole weeks and then a 4 day weekend! At the moment I actually have some plans for my birthday.

• 6^th October – Winter London film and comic con (bought my tickets today)
• 7^th Dinner with Matt, Mum, Dad and Sarah (sister)!
• Then the 8^th which is my actual birthday me and Matt are going to Longleat which I am excited about. Although didn’t know it was a 2.5hour drive eeep!

I ordered these yesterday too and I’m going to have them from my Grandma for my birthday I love them! I am so into jumpers this year they are just so comfy!

They are both from NewLook and they just have the cutest print for Autumn  on them!

I think they are a good price too at £14.99 each!

I’m getting excited. My mum said I could have the coat too this is the first time in years where I have actually wanted stuffs for my birthday :)

There is only 15minutes left at work now so I will wrap this up. I wanted to show my nails as I thought they looked pretty awesome, like mermaids! They are a light blue/turquoise Barry M colour with a turquoise glitter on top! I usually put the glitter on darker colours and it can look a little heavy but I think it works really nicely on the lighter colour. 

I stumbled across some orange colours today on Tumblr which I love! I can’t seem to find the OPI version but I have a gold and I think I may get an orange and put the gold on top. Great for Halloween and autumn!

                         

Both images above taken from Tumblr!

I just LOVE all the autumn colours! They are so pretty and make me feel festive! I guess that is all for today I am going to head home eat and go for a swim!

Autumn days! Bring on all the jumpers!

So I think it is safe to say that autumn has arrived. The mornings are FREEZING and the little radiator has gone on in our room! The trees are slowly going golden and I can see my breath in the mornings. Being England though it has also bought grey skies and rain. Lots of blinking rain. But I’m hoping the rain will pass and we will be blessed with lovely sunny chilly days with all the oranges, reds and yellows that autumn brings.!

So I was rattling on last time about getting some jumpers for my birthday. I ended up getting none of the ones I looked at haha! Well actually I got the black version of the grey one!

The thing that really sold it to me was the inside is reversed so if you role the sleeves up you get white with black spots instead of black with white! Lovely little jumper. I am still pretty set on getting the start print one! I think I will have that from grandma.

I got that jumper from forever 21, and me and Matt looked in the likes of Primark. Although the jumpers are cheaper (only by around £5) the quality difference was shocking! The materials were itchy and just felt horrible, the patterns were poorly done and bleed into each other. I think I will be aiming slightly higher. I’m not a throw away fashion person and I am going off of primark! They are good for shirts and kickers and pj's but that’s about it!

So I did manage to get what I went for which was Pj's they are sooo cute with little foxes on them. I don't have a picture of the top but that has a cute fox on the front and is just a plain navy blue. The fit really nicely and I was pretty happy with them they are sooo snuggly and comfy!

I will have to take some photos of the others when I put them on, but they are long sleeved and more for winter. Although I will HAVE to get some more tbh as I love them so much.

SO I have one more day of work and 30minutes of today left! Then I will be on my week holiday. A WHOLE 9 days off. I can't even explain how excited I am! Off to France on the Monday back on the Friday! 

I am also going for a drink and dinner with Ruxandra and Luke. I was really looking forward to it but after the weekend I worry shes just coming because she feels she has too. I really hope that's not the case and I'm being paranoid but I don't know.

Swimming tonight then a nice sleep as I am SHATTERED, but first I need to kill the last half an hour of the day!

My birthday and France.

I’m going to start this post with a list of complaints.

1.  I fucked my thumb nail. It split half way down my nail in the actual nail bed and I tried to ‘fix’ it and now I have a stubby thumb.
2.  My hand is super sore. I have this Calais/dry skin on my hand and I have started to cut it away and file it when it gets quite big as it also gets very sore and making it smaller seems to help. This time it has made it 100x worse.
3. I’m exhausted. I went swimming and then stayed up and watched Dexter way too late.
4. I’m not watching Dexter and this makes me sad. What I would give to go home and watch that all day…   pfft.
5.  There’s still one more day left after this one D:
6. This time last week I was in France >:|

I could go on but I will stop….

On the plus side I am seeing Fee on Saturday and RedDwarf is on tonight.

So France went really well and I had a lovely time. Exhausted on the first day with the traveling and the fact I only got about 3 hours sleep >.<  Had a DELICOUS breakfast in the airport at Frankie and Bennys…. MANY NOMS. Then realised I hadn’t packed a change of top, I was all FUUUUUUUUUUU! Really annoying I was so busy fart assing around getting ready I forgot to pack a bloody change of top…. Got into France around 2pm and went to the food place to buy food for the week, flight was quick and the weather wasn’t too bad.

The evening was nice, ate Pizza I kept falling asleep and we started watching Dexter and it is amazaballs. Like seriously, I’m hooked! Then on the Thursday we went to Anger (On-Jay) and had a DELICOUS lunch and did and bit of shopping and I found an H&M HURROAH and bought a new vest top…. YAY CHANGE OF CLOTHES! Go all that way and that’s all I bought! Again just had a relaxing evening and then on Friday got up late and went to the zoo! It was amazing they had penguins, tigers, lions, leopards, snow leopards. I also got attacked and pecked by some evil bird with a massive long evil beak! The zoo was lovely and was made to feel more like you were walking around with the animals rather than staring at them through bars. The weather on Thursday and Friday was amazing 24 degrees and sunny!

Then on Saturday we had a chill out day. Matts Dad and Julie went out and we played with the dogbot and watched Tv and napped.  It was very nice! And then on the Sunday we flew home. Got back by 3pm and had dominos for dinner.

Then it was my birthday on the 

Monday. Had a nice day with Matt even though it was raining all day…. Went to Croydon and had Poppin Café for Lunch and returned stuff and bought stuff. Stone chipped my windscreen which sucked ass. Then I threw myself a party with the Mr Poes and cooked party foods and watched lots of Dexter with Matt :D

Matt got me a beautiful Hello Kitty Neo figure, I got a Hello Kitty Liberty Tes Set, a dress, two bracelets, Vans, jewellery box, gloves, earrings, scarf, purse and nail varnish! 

Then on the Tuesday didn't do much cause I had to wait in for Auto Glass but eventually went to Lakeside where I bought amazing pajamas. 

Hello Kitty from Primark, they were a little more than I would spend but I had my monies from my birthday.

So yeah now I am back at work and that week I have been so excited for, for over a month has just gone….. pretty sad really D:

Onwards and upwards though :D start focusing on Christmas wooooooooooooooooooo

Toodles xx

France Tomorrow!

OOOOK so I am super excited as I am off to France tomorrow WEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeEE! This time tomorrow I will be in an airport eating breakfast noms! I believe we are going to a place called Anger, and then perhaps a French zoo!

I looked up Anger and it is beautiful looking! I am in looove!  Looks amazing, and of course the idea of going to a zoo excites me greatly :D I do love Zoo’s and I hope to the gods above there are penguins AHHHH PENGUINS, are my ALL TIME favourites!

Yesterday I had an idea and I created this little avatar of myself. It needs editing and perfecting but this is the start of it! I think it’s pretty cute tbh! Might use it in my banner when I’m done! Perhaps I could work on it at lunch time? Maybe ahaha…

I’m really pleased with it though! I think it is really quite cute and kinda looks like me? Maybe I hope anyway! Lol.

I feel today at work is going to be quite a long day and I am hoping it will go much quicker than I think it is going to go, I’m already starving hungry, I hate the mornings before lunch I get soooo hungry D:

I’m almost done packing and finally finished all the washing this morning! UGH! I hope the stuff dries by tomorrow morning! I will have to hang them by our teeny ting radiator otherwise and hope for the best! Then after that just silly little things to pack and my sister is going to dye my hair today and it’s all good! :D I belter crack on with this InDesign work!

Dresses, and France in a few days YAAAAAY

Ok so after work I did decide to go shopping! I found pretty much nothing. Boo

It took me like 1-2 hours to get there as I got stuck on the M25 so by the time we got there we only had about an hour pfft! I did however find this super cute top, It's a peplum top with cute little owls on it and it has a cute peter pan collar!

I then went to Crawley with Gem on Saturday and found nothing again, it was WAAAY TOO busy! So today I decided to rick it as I am desperate to get some cute bits for France! I CAME INTO LUCK and I found lots of things!

I got this dress in a burgundy, its lovely and from primark £13! Bargin, looks sooo nice. I also got this snood that was £4 and is MASSIVE! Like seriously massive! and a new cardigan for £6 as I do love Primark cardigans even though they get holes and lose thier shape they are so soft and cheap!

I also go this stripe dress. I thought, nooo stripes make you look wider, but when I put it on I was like WOWZA I LOVE IT! I think with a colour cardy and a nice big scarf it will look so cute! This was also £13 in Primark!

Then I found this is NewLook. They did not have it the last few days when I have been hunting! It's super cute and only £17. Its sooo silky soft and I love it, its more purple than red like the other one! It will go very nice with my new snood!.

 

So I am really excited now as I am going to France in 2 days and I have amazing things to wear! AND I FEEL so cute in them, which is what I wanted, and surprisingly they are all really nice lengths! I can't wait to wear these, and we are there for 3 whole days and then 2 half days so I have an outfit a day :D wooohooo.

I believe we are going to Anger and also going to the Zoo at some point too! I think I will take an extra dress in case we go out for dinner, well if I can squeeze it in my hand luggage as that is all I am taking! Matt most likey wont take much so maybe i'll squeeze some in his mwuahahah!

I am feeling much better about myself and things today, even though I have the worst possible headache ever.

Anyways toodle pips and goodnight x
