I hate goodbyes

After working tonight, I went to say goodbye to my friend Calum. He's leaving tomorrow to go and live with his boyfriend in Essex, lets just hope he gets in with The Only Way is Essex lot ;) He's such a babe, I hadn't seen him for a while but seeing him tonight made me realise how much I really will miss him.

Rosie, Allie and Me

Then last week my friend Rosie left to go to university in Swansea. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a short train ride, but unfortunately it would take about 5/6 hours to get to Swansea to see her. Hopefully me and Allie are going to visit her next year. The last time I saw her we went on a walk in the fields near Allie's village. We freaked ourselves out a bit by talking about horror movies so it turned into a bit of a run!

Anyway, tomorrow I'm off too Newcastle (long car journey here I come) for the weekend, mainly just to visit the university. I'll try to take a few pictures, but I'll probably forget.

Hope you have a lovely weekend,

Excuses X4

I've been a terrible blogger recently. Well, I probably shouldn't even be calling myself a blogger seeing as I haven't posted since the 8th September... OMG I DIDN'T REALISE  IT WAS THAT BAD! Anyway, I have a few excuses...

1. I've been back at school which has already been very demanding 
2. I haven't taken any pictures, so hopefully on payday (which leads me on to my next excuse) I might treat myself to a compact digital camera, or I may just wait until I can afford an iPhone
3. I started my new job at Sainsburys
4. But mainly I just haven't had anything interesting to write about

So, really this was just a post to make sure you all know I'm still alive and to make a few excuses. Hopefully when I get the time and stop being so lazy, I'll post a review on the Models Own nail varnish I finally received and some ELF make-up products.

Chow for now,

I'm so busy my head is spinning

Firstly, apologies to my three followers for the lack of posting recently. I've been extremely busy lounging around my house all day, eating due to boredom and watching far too much Gossip Girl. But apart from all that, I've been spending a lot of time at Nandos and spending too much (of my mums) money. So, I guess basically I've been doing far too much of everything, which explains why I've been SO busy. I've also got myself a job. Yes, after waiting 17 days, Sainsburys finally got back to me. Jessie J says it's 'Not about the money, money, money' but i'm afraid in this circumstance it really is, and I really can't wait to get my hands on it on payday.

Here are a few of the things I've purchased in the last few days...

Finally I can stop wearing leggings. High-waisted skinny jeans £15 - Primark, cigarette trousers £22.99 - New Look.

Bird patterned sleeveless shirt £6 - Primark

Basic Vest Tops £3.99 each - New Look

Bird Cage necklace £2.50 (I think) - Primark

I also got yet another late birthday present, this time from Danie.

Such an adorable necklace and bag, I'm pretty sure they're both from New Look. Tomorrow I'm going to Allies for another movie day and then I have Bethany's 18th birthday party in the evening, exciting stuff!
I promise I will try to post more.

A Day at the Seaside

As I mentioned in my last post I went to the seaside today with my best friend Allie and my Mum and Dad. It was cold, but good. I used to go to Hunstanton every summer for a week, but last time I went all I wanted to do was come home. I've seen the place enough times, and the whole area around it! But my grandparents own a caravan there so we went to visit them whilst they're on holiday.

A trip to the seaside isn't complete without a Mr Wippy.

Took me a while to get the knack of bowling. I twist my hand and it doesn't go in the direction I want it to!

Allie, me, mum and dad on the beach. I look demented.

Yet again I look demented, but you can't beat a giant Mr Wippy !

Tomorrow i'm going to a movie night at my friend Becca's house with Allie, Sophie, and Charlotte. We're watching 127 Hours and then a horror, which i'm not too thrilled about! I'll just steal the nachos and pizza and spend the evening hiding behind the sofa. Depending on how scary the horror film is, I probably won't be sleeping tomorrow night. I am such a wimp.

Coral nails and Bronte tales

Today I met up with my friend Kat. We went to a coffee shop, did some people watching and had a laugh. These are some pictures from the last few days, as you can see I haven't been doing anything very interesting.

Mother made a meringue (just had to check with Google if that was the right spelling which to my  surprise it was).

Kat painted my nails a summery coral colour by Barry M, which funnily enough and very creatively is called Coral. On here they just look pink. I'm trying my hardest not to chip them or pick at them, but I am finding it quite difficult.

Percy pig sweets and a customised Jane Eyre book cover, I just couldn't resist!

The adorable presents my friend Becca got me for my birthday. These slippers have been keeping my toes nice and cosy as it's been pretty cold weather today.

Tomorrow I'm off to the sea-side with my best friend Allie and my parents to visit my grandparents. Should be a nice day, just as long as the weather isn't horrible. I've got my bucket and spade and my 1p coins ready!

Spanish sun is the one

This is a bit of a late post, but I've only had this blog for two days so that's my excuse. In July I went on holiday with my best friend Allie to Spain. It was my first flight, my first holiday away with a friend, and my first experience of a hot country. We stayed on the Costa Brava in a small town called Pineda De Mar which was a really pretty area, PLUS our hotel was right next to the beach, which meant waking up to sea views every morning! We also visited the beautiful city of Barcelona, something I had been very excited about. It definitely lived up to expectations, and I certainly wouldn't mind going back there! Unfortunately my camera battery's ran out after the third day of being in Spain so I've stolen some of these pictures from Allie.

Flying over the South of France. Seeing as I was a first time flyer I was allowed the window seat, which did result in a bit of a shriek when the plane took off!

Me and Allie on the transfer after just arriving in Spain.

These cocktails known as 'San Franciso's' were delish! I could do with one now. 

A beautiful view of a bus stop Barcelona from the mountains.

Me and Allie on the port, this was so pretty with the sparkling sunshine bouncing off the water.

A street artist on Las Ramblas in Barcelona.

I guess you could say I got a little bit sunburnt. I blocked out my face to save anyone from eye damage.

A street in Barcelona, it makes me think of LA.

This was such a good holiday and ever since I've got home I've just wanted to be abroad again!

Giving in to Models Own

After about three weeks of ummming and arrrrring over the huge selection of colours and polishes by Models Own, (not to mention breaking into my bank account) I finally gave in and made my first order. I've heard great things about the quality of Models Own when reading other blogs, and I just wanted to have pretty nails. There's nothing wrong with wanting pretty nails. The 50% off sale also had a great part in finally ordering something!

These are the colours I decided on...

1. Jade Stone 2. Pastel Pink 3.Coral Reef 4. Top Turquoise 5. Silver Fox 

Models Own Nail Polish usually costs £5 per bottle, but with the sale on at the moment these came in at £2.50 each! What a bargain. Now I just have to wait for them too arrive *sad face*.
