My Week




My week has been good and bad, filled with dread at having to go back to work after just over two weeks holiday. So, what have I done: I've gone out and got drunk, seen Oz the great and powerful, Went to the doctors to find that I am slowly falling apart, gone shopping and bitten all my nails off! Yes that was not the best thing that I have done but it happens.

A pretty slow week in some ways and a great one in others, I have almost finished watching all of Greys Anatomy and I have watched Dollhouse. I have been reading a QI book with lots of random facts and generally doing as little as possible.

20 Facts

Inspire by Laura I thought I would join in on this little post. I find it very had coming up with any interesting facts about myself as to me, it's all just mundane and normal stuff.

I have only ever been abroad once, it was to Malta when I was 6.
I don't like spiders, I have nothing against them being in the world I just don't want them in my home!
When I was in High School I actually kept my tamagotchi pet alive until the end though no one believed me.
Until recently I had too beanie/soft toys. When I packed them up to give to charity they took up 5 black bags! I now have 3 shelves full.
I can remember when a can of coke cost 25p not 70p and when a 500ml bottle cost 50p not £1.10.
I love plants, but can't keep them alive for too long.
I'm a coke girl, not a big fan of pepsi at all.
If I won the lottery I would buy an Aston Martin DB9.
It took me 3 driving instructor to pass my test, not because I was crap, I passed each test on my first go, but I started to learn when I was 18 and then got my own place and couldn't afford it, started again when I was 24 but my instructor kept dragging his heels so eventually I moved somewhere else to be told that I was ready after one lesson and that was that, 8 weeks later I was a full licence holder.
If I had the space and money I would pretty much be a hoarder, I hate throwing anything that may be useful away.
My hair is very fine but I have a lot of it which makes it thick, every hair dresser I've ever gone to has pointed this out, and then moaned that because of this combination it takes a while to dry it.
Things always come in 3s for me, it may sound silly but it does, If I break something I break two other things as well, If I hurt myself I have 2 other pains to endue too.
When it comes to Tea, I like Tetley. I felt this was important in case I'm ever invited for tea.
I have 5 permanent scars, 2 of these are on my face, all but one occurred before I was 11.
When I smile, there is more gum than teeth.
I used to have my belly button pierced, but my body rejected it.
I love the smell of book, the paper, the print the binder glue, there is nothing like it for freshness, besides grass.
I don't have any outstanding talents, but I am good at a number of things.
I could re-read the Harry Potter series over and over and never get bored of it.
and finally...
I used to have a goldfish that had black tips on his fins and tail so I called him Finnmeister and I had two hamster and I called them both Carley because as a child it was my favourite name.

February and into March

February basically consisted of
  Nights out, more than I have in the last 6 months combined,
  Alcohol, more than the last 6 months combined,
  Dancing, more than the last 6 months combined,
  Watching TV Shows, more than the last 6 months combined,
  Cleaning, yup you guessed it more than the last 6 months combined,
yes, there is a pattern forming with my list, February saw me turning 27 and its as if the closer to 30 the more I have sped up my fun, however with funds now unbelievably short, It will be back to almost nothing for a while. I've gotten hooked on Bones and Greys Anatomy and also Storage Wars, which was entirely by accident.

I have gone out with Laura more times than you can count on a hand in one month and our text conversation have reached a all time strangeness, that can no longer be completely explained without some neurological damage.

This month I have laughed and Cried, been worried and relieved and all in all forgotten more than I have remembered! I've been in lots of pain due to lots of different reason and have to wait another week until my doctors appointment. My husband may have sleep apnea  and will have to wait anywhere between 6 months to 2 years to get into the sleep clinic and in the meantime I have to pick up the slack when it comes to his severely ailing memory, Alas I should be thankful for what I have as its a lot better than most, but I feel we all dwell on the bad!

February has had a lot of ups and down and now going into March I can only keep my fingers crossed that the good remains and the bad goes away. May the spring bring more sun and joy.

Naughty Buys








what can I say, I needed none of this, besides the brush, I just wanted it all.

This is the first hair brush I've had to buy in 10 year, my last brush has been broken for ages and I just suddenly decided I could no longer deal with the broken handle, so I bought this brush, It was £12, which I think is stupid for a brush, but the one that lasted me 10 years cost £5 so I figured that this one should last a while at least 25 years!

each of the nail varnish are from ASDA and are only £1 each, I wanted a bunch of neutral colours for work. However no my work place has stopped all nail varnishes, and I'm gutted as Ive only just got my nails to a decent place and started to enjoy using lots of colours and I can only do it now if I'm off for a good few days!
 
The waistcoat style cardigan was from a charity shop and was only £1.50, It will look great with a coloured t-shirt, it has studded details on the collar and is fun. The 60's style dress was also from a charity shop and cost only £4.

Shoes, I love shoes and I have way too many, however these don't count towards my allotted amount as they were an absolute steal. They are both from primark, the peach suede heels were only £3 and the gold glitter ones were £6, less than £10 for two pairs of shoes is a bargain. I also picked up a candle that is quite nice, but not very strong.

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer Review



Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Nova, RRP £5.99
The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine.The earth-shattering lip lacquer from Rimmel London.

I picked this little beaut up with Laura, it was part of a 3 for 2 offer, Lots have been said about apocalips, but ever up for trying out new things, I wanted to give it a go to.

This does not disappoint, it is very vibrant, the pictures do not give justice to just how much this colour pops. It is extremely glossy too, but after a lot of wear the shine does wear of, however the colour stays and stays. For a penny short of £6 this is a fantastic item, you get the wear and colour and get to make a statement. The brush is easy to use and has a well in the middle that collects the product for optimum coverage.

It comes in a range of colours that I spent ages swatching, from what looks like some pale
 neutral colours that are nothing less than bright and shiney to reds that are vivid and eye-catching. Lots of choice for a very little price, a lipstick with the high gloss of a lip gloss, really its all just the best of two worlds.

Turning 27

Monday was a normal day to most people, went to work, looked after the kids, not for me. For me it was my 27th Birthday and to be fair it was one of the best birthdays Ive had in a long time. A lot of my birthdays since I was 18 have been ok but not good. This year I was spoiled and am still looking forward to one more night out, courtesy of Laura as the final celebration.





 Lots of presents, went out for a meal and just generally had lots of fun, roll on next year!

Bones

Picture I have unfortunately not been posting in the last week this is due to my sudden and inexplicable need to watch bones.

I caught up on season  and that was It I had to start watching them from the beginning, It has taken over my life in the last week and besides normal things such as work and cleaning all my other time has gone into watching this show.

I Love Love Love Bones, the story lines and the interpersonal work dynamic is fantastic, plus David Boreanaz is one sexy man, so sexy that hes one of the only men that my husband would not turn down.
