Nearly a week..

Twitter & Facebook & Shop1 & Shop2 

✎I've been at the new house and to be honest it feels strange without parents or the dog running back and forth into my room. But I love it, I love being all grown up with a house and lovely housemates to keep company with! Made a lovely cake today just to fill in the afternoon since my sleeping pattern is going to bed around 12pm/1am then waking up around midday which isn't bad. Just feel so lethargic while being here, it's the lovely bloody house keeping me in all the time! Might play Animal Crossing later on, getting quite addicted to it (which the boyfriend isn't liking too much haha). 


✎Also re-organised the whole shopping thing i'm planning around the end of September, explained to the boyfriend that I really need new clothes since i've gotten rid of clothes I can't fit into and I haven't got much left! (So hopefully getting dark skinny jeans, two skirts, two going out tops & two cardigans). Might be getting myself a pair of UGGS too, with some going out shoes aswell and accessories :)

Tigar Paw.

✎ So i've finally moved into my student house today, so much work but my family helped me out alot with the packing/lifts/and such. I've posted some photographs below of my room, all set up with my stuff and it looks cosy :) I've been thinking about decorating all summer then once it comes to doing it, it goes so fast! Least tomorrow we get the internet sorted out, then going into to town for me to sort out a student account with my bank and some other things. And this Thursday coming we have plans to go to a friend's birthday which is nice to fill up the evening with! All of us might be going to see Scott Pilgrim on the weekend, which is good since I haven't seen it still :)

What's this? A new post?


✎ For the past few days i've been busy busy lately, so I didn't get round to blog something down! Went to Birmingham for the last time on Friday with friends and had a really lovely time. Plus it was me and Daniel's anniversary so I enjoyed it even more, plus visited this shop called 'CyberCandy' which is pretty awesome for stocking all the sweets available in America/Japan/Canada etc. but costs alot just for something small. Daniel got me this really comfy cardigan for me and some earrings to make up for the two i've lost in his bedroom haha (i'm still pretty gutted about those mind!). Daniel finally got a Wii, Monster Hunter Tri game and I bought myself Animal Crossing which i'm getting so addicted too hehe. Forgot to mention the whole thing with the box image above is to do with me packing things up at the boyfriend's parents place since we're moving back into our new house on Monday so last night I rushed to do all my packing so I could relax today!



✎ Also had a lovely time out in Stratford-upon-Avon with the boyfriend and his grandparents, they took us out since we popped over to see their finally decorated house. I've never seen so many tourists there, plus it was so warm Saturday but I enjoyed going out rather than staying in the house stuck on the laptop hehe. Got some clotted cream fudge from one shop, plus we saw this Christmas shop filled to the ceiling with all kinds of decorations (I wanted this one cute gingerbread man with a cooking hat but he was too expensive).

Jelly Beans!


Good morning! Well i'm up very early just because I wanted to say goodbye to the boyfriend as he goes to work. Pleased with myself that I can actually wake up this early haha, anyway i'm pretty excited for Friday and Monday coming. Me and Daniel's 1year and a half anniversary on Friday, nothing really special planned but going to Birmingham to see friends and he's buying a Wii (He use to play Monster Hunter with his friends from the caravan on PSP but now it's come out on the Wii & their cheaper now he wants to get it). Which I don't mind since around Christmas time I want to get a few Mario games for myself, but for Friday I kinda hoping Daniel will get the hints that i'd like Animal Crossing : Let's go to the city.


Other news in Wales my mum & gran have sorted out my list of things for the new house, which i'm very grateful for! Since I have no money at the moment plus i'm moving in on Monday the 6th, it seemed the best to ask if they had any of the items around or could buy me some. My mums made a lovely black & plum king size duvet cover which i'm looking forward to seeing and snuggling up hehe, they've packed all my clothes/dvds/other crap that's in my room and bringing it up when I get dropped off in the new house. Saves time & such so koodos to them,  i've just got to go back with them on the day to pick up personal stuff that they've forgotten :) Plus she's getting me a printer that I wanted to get/mentioned in the blog, which my dad couldn't afford (my dad lets me down alot for the past few years, plus my mum does have her bad days but when she does all this for me I'm really glad she's around).


Above you can see the changes to my spending spree in October, which is good that I actually mooched around for since i'm saving half on all the items i've picked! The silver birdy earrings and the tree necklace are both from Beadix, all together they cost under £13. The silver silk scarf is vintage from Japan which is from VintageDazzle which costs just £8 and the red & gold silk scarf is from Victoria&Charlotte which is under £6! these are all from Etsy which is great if you don't want to spend a fortune on vintage looks

Also I keep losing earrings here or breaking them which utterly sucks but Dan said he'd buy me some new ones on Friday which is nice. He's also ordered a present for me but it'll arrive at my gran's for the time being, since we're leaving on Monday and it'll be waiting for me! Also my swallow necklace, emerald heart earrings, koi fish keyring & decorative tapes will hopefully be waiting for me too. I like having letters/parcels waiting for me at home, just a lovely feeling opening something up.

Oh lovely!


So my prays have been answered, i've found a lovely site that does loads of brightly coloured tights and that do plus size as well. Since I doubt i'm the only women in the world that finds it pain to find a nice pair of tights that fit snug and come in a variety of colour. Unfortunately yes this is a USD site but they do international shipping and for a small fee of £9.67/$15 that's not bad :)
♚ More to come soon!!

Oh c'mon!



It's rained non stop for the past few days now, I want dry days to come since i'm suppose to be going out on Friday & Saturday. Now I just don't feel like going out at all now, I just want to stay in till September comes and I have to go home. Think i'll just stay in my pjs and browse the internet to comfort myself...

Something new...


So basically got a week left in England, which is good since i'm missing Wales a lot but i'll miss friends over here too. I'm looking forward to going back because i've just remembered too that it's mine and Daniel's 1year & a half anniversary next Friday (which isn't a big deal but i'm happy we're getting there). Which is close to the 2year mark which would then mean it's my longest relationship so far, i'm just happy I have someone and i'm glad i'm not going through university alone to be honest. Also i'm getting a present which is always good in my books, i'm getting a special made 'Octopus embroidered Headband' made by janinebasil on Etsy. But instead of the 'Hot Pink' i'm getting it in a 'Pale Blue' so it'll match most of my clothes :)


Also talking about buying things yesterday I lost my favourite pearl drop earrings, they weren't expensive or anything but they did match alot of things plus they weren't studs. So I checked the website from where I bought them but they don't sell them any more so onto Etsy to find some earrings.. and found these cute 'Emerald Green Heart Studs' made by junquiegirl again on Etsy. Of course i've bought them & currently waiting for them to be shipped on this weekend coming but also they match this bracelet that I really want for Christmas off the boyfriend :) (plus i'm not putting up the link for the bracelet since I really want it/it's one of a kind).


Also my mother messaged me via facebook to tell me my 'Sparrow Necklace' has arrived at home, finally went ahead and bought it from ilookpretty which is also from Etsy. I didn't get the matching earrings though since I thought I would over do it with my swallow bandeau top as well.


And last but not least I bought a lovely 'Oriental Lucky Fish Charm' and 'Ten units of small deco tape' from littleteethshop just to cheer me up from the slow summer.
