Cupcakes and Lollypops

Planning time!

2009-12-08T18:54:00.003Z

Well....

He proposed!

Had my free tickets to Brugge (courtesy of Eurostar), and on the first night he produced a stunning blue topaz ring!

So happy! And of course I said yes!

The photos below are me and Mr Perfect, the ring, and me again! :P

P.S.

2009-11-06T22:16:00.002Z

Completely forgot about this,

I have had a hair cut....

Time to wack out that Halo...

2009-11-06T22:04:00.003Z

... probably has no reference what's so ever to this post, however I found myself miming that a lot recently, and acting all sweet and innocent. Butter wouldn't melt!!!

I have been doing this "butter wouldn't melt" routine on the phone recently, asking when the ring mentioned on - http://holysabre.signetware.co.uk - will appear! Then pretending I never said a thing. Some how I think he is onto me!! But that wont stop me, I will probably keep going on playing this little game of innocence!

I have also been doing it a lot at work recently, especially since I have now been moved across the office to a different role, to what I was originally placed in for my Placement Year, as the conversations and jokey attitude is a a lot more relaxed. I am definitely a lot happier working in the current role. There is a lot more to do and a lot more interesting things going on. I felt a little left out, like an outsider to the finance team, where I was. Whereas I am now definitely part of the team, and I feel it too. So all in all a good move!

I have realised however that living in a group of 3 girls isn't for me. Sometimes it is awesome and I find myself thinking maybe I was just thinking bitchily about it all. But then you find that 2 people have more in common, or have a common goal - short term or long term - and someone ends up being an outsider. I know it probably isn't just me thinking that half the time but I feel it a lot because weekends are planned for them both to head home wards on the same days, but I don't have that luxury of jumping in a car and driving home. I have to plan ahead and save to get the train somewhere. I know it doesn't sound complicated, but it damn well is!

Anyway I am going to head back to the relaxing and perusing the internet for pretty things.

Rings and Bling

2009-10-24T21:53:00.002+01:00

I have been ordered, well not so much ordered but reminded in every conversation, to find out my ring size so Mr Perfect can actually buy one. I don't really want to do that I have always found my fingers to be abnormally huge and when I was little I was wearing ring sizes over M. So who knows what it will be like now, I have been looking at ring sizing on the internet to get an idea; it is looking like something between P and R ish.

Anyone been ring sizing recently. Please tell me I don't have abnormally fat fingers!

Besides that conversation recently, for Mr Perfects birthday, we went to see The Phantom of The Opera. It was amazing!

And today I went to the Metro Snow show with my dad, precisely to get my birthday and christmas present sorted from him. I have managed to talk my way into him buying me a brand new set of ski boots. Very happy got some nice Salomon boots.

Dresses

2009-09-26T22:12:00.004+01:00

I have been looking into dress designs because I am all alone this weekend. So I have made some of my own and I am going to put them up. I hope you like

Please tell me what you think of them!

Missing you...

2009-09-12T12:28:00.003+01:00

I am just having a bit of a long lie in today! Loving it, makes such a change not having to get up super early.

I like going out but I need to have a night out with Mr Perfect, because I just end up missing him so much. I end up getting bored really easy without him there and just go home. I got a lot of texts asking where I had gone last night even though I had explained that I was going home. Useless!!

I wish Mr Perfect was here right now. Just being such a lazy bum today and being lazy is so much better if there is someone here to join in with you!

I miss him.

If only that day could come sooner....

2009-08-23T21:54:00.004+01:00

Ah, if only I could marry Mr Perfect tomorrow.I have been looking into more dresses

again, and I have been thinking

about maybe having capped sleeves or something on the wedding dress. So below are some georgeous dresses, enjoy...

Back...

2009-08-09T18:43:00.004+01:00

at last...

I have been off for ages, first there were exams, then there was going home, then starting work and finally to top it all off, not having any internet since I started working.

However I have moved into a house up here, and I am loving it! It is the cutest cottage in the world, and it is in Sutton, Surrey. And. It has the biggest front room ever!! I was nervous about moving in with two people I didn't really know, however we all get on so well. It makes a change from last years house.

Anyway, one day I will get some pictures up here from within the house and garden (which is just massive for a cottage).

Moving on from it all I have made it to a year with Mr Perfect. Shocking, I know. I cannot wait to see him again when I jump on the train home to visit. I do miss seeing him all the time, which is what I got used to when I was back home for the time between Uni and work.

On other news of love, one of my best friends has married a man from America. Different to what I would have expected her to be doing at this age. Would have imagined her to be flying through uni with 1st's all the way! Not moving half the way around the world, and marrying a man she barely knows. I can't wait till she visits at some point, then I can finally see her again, it's been AGES!!

Anyway, last note, LOVE YOU POOH BEAR.

Student Life

2009-05-09T20:06:00.003+01:00

I am so bored being up in Cheltenham, that I am pretty much considering uping and going. I get ignored and left alone here, there is noone to talk to. And my one remaining housemate doesn't seem to understand the how annoying it is to have to live with her AND her BF. He is here everyday, which is very annoying when I only get to see mine every 2 weeks. I will probably end up going home sooner than I planned, that or end up staying something I seriously regret.

Pfizer

2009-04-03T17:37:00.004+01:00

Oh.. News, I have a job for my placement year. I am going to be working as an inventory analyst for Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company. I am chuffed, however because I am going to be moving to Surrey, and that being the priciest place in the UK, I am going to be moving alone. I wish I was moving in with Pooh Bear, but we kind of came to the decision that to shut up critics and to make the cost more bearable for us both, that he should stay in Devon and I will move eastward. :(

Anyway I will hopefully find it ok moving by myself, now all I need to do is find people who I can live with! Should be interesting.

Start afresh...

2009-03-17T08:15:00.004Z

I just want an easy life, and yes Uni probably was not the answer to an easy life.

Just stressing out over and over and over again... Still trying to find a placement, aaaaahhhh... and still trying to get on top of revision. I need to, I really do. I am having to miss lectures to attend interviews. Like yesterday and today, which makes my revision even harder to actually get on top of!

I just want a nice long lie in, I just want to relax and not think, I just want to not HAVE to think. But neighbours always stop me from lie ins (damn guitars).

Every time I try and relax, something pushes its way in and ruins the relaxing time.

And has anyone ever tried not thinking, its not possible!

Anyway, seeing as I haven't been on here in over a month, I thought I should put something up, and next time I will start afresh, with new thoughts, new ideas etc....

Treasure hunt...

2009-02-09T11:06:00.003Z

I am planning a treasure hunt for Mr Perfect on Valentines day. I have so far 4 out of the 6 treasures.

I just need to buy the last two of them.

I just dont seem to be able to find the right style item for one of those. If I can't find it I will just have to choose the next best thing.

I miss Mr Perfect, I haven't seen him for a over a week and I just dont like that. I am so used to seeing him every weekend, that not seeing him for a fortnight is a pain in the ass.

As my previous post says, I went for a run earlier! Oh yes. I really dont like running, and I have no idea why I went running. My throat hurts, and I am all tired. But I guess it is because I really do want to loose weight and get skinnier! I have I more hour of DVD exercise to complete my challenge, but I just cant find the motivation to actually finish it. But I do know that I need to get back into it as I really need to loose the weight.

Ah wells xx

Valentines day...

2009-01-29T15:50:00.004Z

Well on monday it will be mine and Pooh Bear's 6 month anniversary, I am looking forward to it, we are going to celebrate it on saturday, as he has to go home on sunday!

I am however working from 9.30am-8.00pm that day! its going to be very tiring so we dont get to celebrate anything until late into the night. Apparently he is taking me out for a meal that night. I have bought him a little present, not sure if he will really like it but its different so hopefully he will love it!

I am however the one sorting out and organising valentines day things. As I can't afford a meal out that night I have decided to stay in and cook a meal. I have also determined a days worth of stuff and randomness to keep him entertained... Including a treasure hunt (yes that is all you are going to know Pooh!!)

I just need to work out how I can do this without my housemates touching anything or moving anything!

I miss him, gettig to see him tomo thou! hopefully it will brighten up my day!!!

Weddings

2009-01-27T13:32:00.002Z

Well once again I have got myself ito the thoughts about weddings, all because I will finally manage (so long as thing doesnt all go tits up) to tick off another of my 30 before I am 30. My cousin is now engaged and I am one of her, wait for it!!.... 8 bridesmaids! Yes EIGHT!

Anyway it got me into looking at things in and around my home town, as family is inviting her up for a sneaky dress snoop around the city! Check this out...

Being Human

2009-01-20T11:15:00.002Z

Right, I am well excited by this. Last year BBC Three had pilots for 6 new dramas and only one or two of these would be made into a series. Out of curiosity I watched a few of these, and Being Human was the only good one. Except it wasn't picked to be made into a series. One of the really bad ones was; which after 2 episodes got scrapped. So after much internet rallying and petitioning the BBC decided to make it into a series, which starts this Sunday!!! YES!!!

So for all of you who don’t know what Being Human is, it is a show about three twenty somethings and how they cope living together. Yes that might sound a bit boring, but my geek side comes out watching this, because they are all coping with random inflictions, Mitchell being a Vampire, George being a Werewolf and Annie being a Ghost.

I do think I am going to have a problem with the new cast list however, as Mitchell was originally played by Guy Flanagan, who gave Mitchell an endearing qualitity that makes you want to tell him it will be ok, but now he is being played by Adian Turner, who is just a little too buff to be the slightly weird Vampire. Annie has gone from being a dinky little northern lass to being played by Lenora Crichlow. The only one out of the tree main characters staying the same is George who is played by Russell Tovey. Another random change is the leader of the vampires, Herrick, is now no longer a black dude.

But being the slightly addicted geek that I am, I will watch this and just live in hope that it hasn’t ruined the programme which I did love when the pilot was shown!

World Of Work

2009-01-18T09:36:00.000Z

I have been deemed an awesome cupckae maker yesterday by one of my friends!

Well on another note I have work to go back to today. They have finally given me some hours, however I am truely not feeling it.

ABC...

2009-01-14T11:58:00.002Z

DEF??!!

NO!! Acitvity Based Costing. It is ruining my life! I hate this assignment with a passion, it is so badly worded. Panacea?! Anyone know what that means, apparently its a solution. HA why cant they just say that. And when someone asks for whether something aids or hinders something does that mean the advantages and disadvantages, or does it mean something totally different. I should have got some books out of the library. Ah well. Here goes. I have 630 words only another 1300 to go!!!

That little thing...

2009-01-13T23:36:00.003Z

... called debating.

Today started a debate about smoking and drinking in my house. Well not literally, but our views on the goverments attitude towards them and why there is not as much emphasis on drinking in comparison to give up smoking.

For one reason or another, someone having a view that smoking is the worse of the 2 evils as there made one of the housemates arguementitive and upset. It is the idea that smoking is better being targeted with campaigns as there are alternatives to it, where as there are no alternatives towards alcohol. I think sometimes a conversation like this is interesting to see others views, but when you decide you are right and can't see the reasons behind the decisions decided upon (ie by the government) it makes me feel like they couldn't care about opinions of others.

I know a few of you reading this will be thinking Pot, Kettle, Black about me but still. I when it comes to something like that can see it from the governmental view as well as the civillian view. And honestly I agree with the government on it. Very unlike me....

Ah well I am a little bored and tired!

I am about to go off and do my exercise to get me to 6 days, I am a little behind!

Cupcake-ing it up!

2009-01-09T10:51:00.004Z

It has been ages since I have had and made cupcakes. I am feeling that I will have to make some. Probably going to have to be valentines day themed!

So I have gone searching for some lovely looking cakes.

This is The Little Cupcake Company!

They are there Sex and the City style cakes. They also do a chocolate version of them. Dont you just love them! Absolutely mouthwatering!

These amazing ones are by Crumbs and Doilies!

They run a monthly competition to name a cupcake with a design on it! They are always really pretty and really beautifully designed!

I want to make some. If anyone can find me some amazing valentines day designs I will give them ago next month for me and my housemates!

Hop Skip and Jump

2009-01-09T10:39:00.004Z

Right now it feels like I could be anywhere in the country next year. I am kind of really nervous. But then I know that Mr Perfect will be coming with me. Hoping to move in together! woo. Anyway besides that point, I am struggling to find the motivation to do my applications. I yesterday applied to 4 placements with one company (Pfizer). But I couldn't find the motivation to apply to any others. However I did request the application forms and job descriptions for 4 jobs at Warner Bros.

Just finding it hard to get myself to the point where I want to a apply. I decided after my first 3 interviews (being the only 3 jobs I had applied to) that my applications and good but how I interview is rubbish! I have been turned down for all 3, 1 not even making it to a face to and interview. And the other 2 being put on the reserve list for that job, just incase the one offered turns it down.

Therefore I have applied to:

1 DASA

1 Kraft
6 Xerox

4 Pfizer

and requested 4 Warner Bros.

Making it 12 (16) applications so far!

I have had 3 replies:

1 DASA (reserve)

1 Kraft (turned down)

1 Xerox (reserve)

Anyway, can you see why that is not motivating me at all!!!

I just want to find a job now. I don't want the stressful processes and work involved. Why can't I just find one like people I know who got the first ones they applied for!

BLAH

Anyway.. At least my day will get a little bit better as my Mr Perfect is coming to stay for the weekend. I have missed him. I am not used to going a whole week without seeing him. I miss the holidays where I saw hime pretty much every day! It just isn't normal spending time appart from him! He has been posting on his blog again about rings and shiney things. I am looking forward to this year and its events. And changes!

I love him muchly!

Challenges

2009-01-05T20:41:00.003Z

I am just off to start a challenge Mr Perfect set me. A challenge ending in a reward. He offered me a DS Lite if I can do 20 days of my exercise dvd over 4 weeks (a month). So here goes I plan to do this just because I can. I also seem to be motivated by a lack of people believing in me and then I seem to do it. I am planning on giving CHOCOLATE BARS again. Yes only chocolate BARS. So that I can reduce my migraines again. I don't like having them so I decided I don't need chocolate. But I am not giving up the Baileys! :P I recon if I managed a whole year I can manage forever!

Anyway changing the tune a little bit. I need to tidy my room to keep up with the new years resolutions. But I decided to check my bank balance first and I have realised that my money I paid for some photos back in June has actually just been taken out of my account. It should ahve started coming out in October and each month after that for a few months, but this is the first month they took my money out. Annoyingly only leaving me with £2 in my account. I can't use my card or anything currently so I have to make do with what I have until my loan is transfered. Just got to keep myself to a very tight budget until April when my next loan installment comes in!

Oooh these photos btw are by Studio London. Here is a sample of them.

Gifts Galore

2009-01-05T00:37:00.003Z

Well, two posts in 24 hours, I feel a record coming on here.

I thought while I was here I would dicuss my present from my Mother for Christmas. Well not just my present. Its Mr Perfects as well.

She has just come into some inheritance, after my Gran died last year, and has decided to treat us to a weekend away somewhere within Europe. So we have chosen to head to Paris for a weekend. I can't wait. Am planning on going to Disney Land while I am there! Woo. Also planning on looking around Montmartre, The Louvre, The Eiffel Tower etc.... I am proper excited, mainly because I am being left to plan it all. YAY!!!!

Anyway, it is past midnight and I have a 9.15 lecture tomorrow. Night all!

New Years Resolutions

2009-01-04T17:03:00.002Z

Hi,

I know it has been AGES since I was last on here, and that I last posted, but I have been busy and I am still busy just procrastinating at the moment!

I have been to Morocco and Santander since I last wrote on here, I have turned 20, and I have been able to start eating chocolate again... however, my Migraines are now back so cutting chocolate out to one tiny bit per week will have to be a new option of mine!

I have new years resolutions that I am determined to keep to!..

1/ Set a weekly budget
2/ Save all extra money (Yes I will be a tight fisted so and so this year!)

3/ Do ALL my uni reading (HA this one is already broken as I type it. AH well we are all allowed one slip up!)

4/ Keep my room clean and tidy

5/ Treat Mr Perfect like a King (If anyone has any suggestions, I could do with them!)

6/ Stay Positive (Yeah not gone so well this year but I will stick to it once lectures start...)

7/ Take one photo a day
8/ Write letters
9/ Allow myself one treat a day
10/ Do a puzzle a day

Right. Most of those are easy enough to do. Staying positive hasn't been easy. I was upset yesterday because it has been an exhausting two days and all I wanted was to come home. On Friday Mr Perfect's car packed up and we ended up being towed home. Then yesterday the car he was borrowing decided to break down as well. Leaving us with no options to get me back to Cheltenham from Devon. I ended up calling dad for a lift, but I was so tired and so desperate to come home that I just couldn't help but cry. So positivity completely ignored me in the past few days!

The photograph a day is going well. Most are pretty abstract, but all photos will be up on http://elmoandcookie.deviantart.com That is my photography page, showing pieces I have done. It also includes some of my images from Morocco!

Anyway I am going to get on with some essay work in a moment, as it suddenly hit me yesterday that my deadlines are very close!

Celebrations

2008-11-15T11:28:00.003Z

Well in 10 days I turn 20! I am looking forward to my birthday, I do however appear to have spread my birthday out to cover a week.

On Saturday 22nd, I am out for that meal with my parents.

Monday 24th, is the house dvd and singstar night in! It is the day that Mamma Mia is released on dvd so we are going to have a kind of girly night, well girly besides one of the RAG guys!

Tuesday 25th, is actually my birthday, so I don't know if I am actually doing anything.

Wednesday 26th, is my night out at Cheese night in one of the local nightclubs. I can't wait I love cheese night!!

Thursday 27th, is the night I go and see Russel Howard with 9 friends! I love Russell Howard I really do! :D

Friday 28th, is a shopping day with one of my friends who is coming accross from Cardiff!

Then it is either back to the working that night/weekend or off to the London Mega Raid for the Terance Higgins Trust with the RAG lot!

I am loving how busy it will be, but I do have a couple of assignments to write in and around all that! And as of yeat I don't actually know when I am seeing Mr. Perfect, well besides the weekend with the meal with my parents! (jeebs that sounds like a 'friends' title!)

New...

2008-11-15T01:32:00.006Z

I was looking on http://www.amymichelson.com/ the other day and found a few new dresses that I love just as much as the one I posted to start up with. I love MGM!

This is Darling:

And this is MGM:

Children In Need

2008-11-15T01:13:00.000Z

I have been so busy with fundraising recently that I have not had time to get my ass on here and so an actual blog. Tonight was Children In Need night, am bored of watching the same thing now so have decided to go to bed. However I haven't made my bed so it just isn't happening hence my reasoning for being on here! :D
Anyway my perfect boyfriend has been to Prague and back and brought me a birthday present (even though it isn't til the 25th!) while he was there. I will get pictures of it up soon, but it is a georgous necklace. Really pretty.
He visited yesterday and brought me a beautiful bunch of flowers, which is keeping my room looking nice and bright! Anyway I miss him so much, I don't get to see him again until next friday.
Oh on the note of next week I am getting my hair cut at Blushes on Wednesday! Just need to remember to print off that image of how I want my hair. I can't wait to get rid of all these split ends I appear to be collecting. Then on Saturday I get to see my parents when they take me and Mr. Perfect out for a meal at The Puesdown Inn, which is a very nice little pub/inn in the Cotswolds, for my birthday. They do lovely local food there and a few little cottage guest rooms, where my parents are staying!

Anyway I should probably make that bed and get to sleep. I will do a proper normal blog some time soon.

Eating like a student...

2008-10-29T09:57:00.000Z

I have been too lazy to actually cook well recently. I have been living on cheese, beans and anything easy to cook. However the other day, Mr Perfect, who has had times of late where he is not so perfect, took me out for a meal on Saturday to The Langton, in Cheltenham. http://www.thelangton.co.uk/ Really nice place, really good food, a place that when I saw it thought my parents would love this.

I mentioned while there that one day, not that I would ever be able to afford it, that I would like to take him to Barbican Kitchen, that or/and Cuisine Spontanee. Both lovely restaurants in Plymouth. Both are very different however. Cuisine Spontanee is choose your own food, how you want it cooked and its an all you can eat!! However Barbican Kitchen is my favourite resaurant and it serves posh bistro food, and is run by the Tanner Brothers.

Sorry

2008-10-26T13:21:00.000Z

That is all I have to say.

I am sorry

Curl up and Dye...

2008-10-18T19:00:00.000+01:00

Here is the big dilema I am having. I want to/need to cut my hair but I dont really want to loose any of the length, as for the last 2/3 years I keep saying I will grow my hair out and have it long again for a small amount of time, however everytime I say I am going to do that I end up having it all cut off to chin length again! I love having my hair in a bob, and as all the hairdressers have told me I suit it and my hair falls perfectly into one, I need a change. However I am unsure. You will see by the pictures I have chosen that all I seem to like the look of is bobs! Worrying....

The image on the right is how my hair is currently, when straightened.

The next 3 pictures are ones I have seen however I am unsure about what one to chose/ if I would like my hair like them.

Happy Birthday..

2008-10-16T11:28:00.000+01:00

Well I promised my Mr Perfect a good birthday. And that is what he got, as day of nice presents he liked, expesh his Perfect badge!!, and a nice picnic with all of his favourite picnic foods. It was nice spending the day with him. He stayed until about 5.30 today then drove home to Devon. I miss him already. I just wish I could spend more days like that with him, not really doing anything in particular but just sitting around talking and having a giggle.
Well that is all I came to say. Besides the fact I think I now have a Jelly Tots addiction.
xxxx

Intimidating??

2008-10-04T19:41:00.000+01:00

Today my perfect boyfriend had a moment where he didnt seem to perfect. He said when he met me he found me intimidating because of my height. I was wearing 4-5 inch heels (it was a night out so). I found this weird. I have alway seem him as accepting and he has never complained about me wearing heels it was just weird. Ah well I do like being shorter than him, it makes a change. I am not a tall girl I am 5 foot 7 but I have in the last 2-3 years found it hard to find men who are actually taller than me. And when I do find them they are like Mr. Perfect about the height when I have heels on. I like my heels they make me feel really girly. Ah well.. I may have to take him shoe shopping to find some cute shoes that dont make me too tall for him!

He also commented on my hair. I love to tie it up. Something to do with me liking to show of my jawbone and neckline. But he likes my hair down and said that me having my hair tied up put him off me when we met up. But I do wear it down quite a bit now and nothing will change how much I love him. I have never been this happily in love with a boyfriend before. Not where I can look into the future and see him there every step of the way.

Anyway he is out buying food for our Sunday roast tomorrow. I can't wait, I have not had a roast since August back at him with Mum and Dad. However I might not be even able to eat it as I have come down with the flu this weekend. Even had to take the day off work today. Not impressed thats 40 quid that I have missed out on!

Shiney Things...

I do and I don't want to post this cus I know you are reading it Mr Perfect. So I will just say that shiney things distracted me and put up a few pitures of shiney things. And I am sure all of you will know what I was looking at.

It was a distraction from what I should have been doing which was tidying the whole of the downstairs of this house. It needs it! However I got as far as tidying my room and depetaling the roses! :D

Morocco!

I am just about getting my ass sorted about the hotels we will be staying at over there.

I am looking at all these cute places and thinking they would be far more suiting for a couple rather that 3 friends! The picture above is where I would have been staying, if the owner had got back to me... cute isnt it!!!

Confused as hell....

He claims that what he has on there is totally obvious as it relates to my blog with something. If anyone can claim what he is going on. I think I know but I don't like jumping to conclusions. I dont mind making an "ass of u and me" but I don't like concluding things.
It worries me that he reads this and that he is keeping a check on me but hey ho more stuff to come in the future. Give me until I am assured I am not jumping to conclusions and I should be back on track with this! :P

Happier

2008-09-20T14:06:00.000+01:00

This is a good weekend. I have the bf staying with me for it! :D I just can't do any of the soppy romantic things that I would be searching for and putting in my blog so I appologise and I will ahve it back up to soppy and cake fulled on monday!

The most romantic?

2008-09-07T12:12:00.000+01:00

Apparently the most romantic place to propose is the Eiffel Tower. Do you agree with that?! I am unsure if this is really true. It kind of features in the corny and predictably presumed to be romantic kind of place. It would strike me that you are not truely romantic if this were to be the place you chose to propose!

Anyway moving on from my little rant there the article on MSN has some interesting ideas on it. I presonally like the Charles Bridge in Prague. It is such a pretty place, and somewhere that I will always want to visit even if it isn't for a proposal!

Have a look at the rest of the artical on http://travel.uk.msn.com/inspiration/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=9277102

Enjoy!

Moved!

2008-09-07T12:09:00.001+01:00

Well I have now moved house into my new Uni accommodation. Only downside to this is leaving my amazing bf at home in Devon! *sob sob*

I really cannot wait to see him again. It’s going to be in over 2 weeks though, so until then I am keeping myself very very busy. Yesterday when he left I decorated my room with pictures, and unpacked everything, and unusually for me, put it all away really neatly! :D

Today I am thinking I should probably read some of my books. Or just bum around, then my friend who lives in another house said she will cook me tea! Woop! This is turning out to be a good weekend, considering.

I love my room here though. It is so cute, really pretty with all my stuff in it. Kind of feels like home. All it needs now is the bf sat on the bed and it will be perfect.

Anyway the other girl who has moved in has just got up so I guess I can use the shower now. Which means I can start my day of bumming around/reading!

Flowers and Seagulls

2008-09-07T12:03:00.000+01:00

Well on the front of the perfect boyfriend thing... He bought me roses!

I am properly impressed by these. No one has ever bought me roses. Exotic flowers yes, roses no.

Anyway... This week has been an ok one I guess. As well as the roses I have been to the Zoo! Oh yes the ZOO!!!! I want to live there I really do. I hadn't been there since I was 12 ish.

But while I was there guess what I saw!?!?! It’s a proper British thing that is always around the coast line. Yes Seagulls. I went to the zoo and I saw seagulls!! And rabbits! :P

I however did have my face painted like a cheetah! Woop.
I should get back to doing my work. I am packing to leave for university. Need to organise it all, as I leave on Saturday. I also am in desperate need of a job/money as my overdraft is officially maxed out. I cannot believe it! *sob sob*

Pondering

2008-09-07T11:58:00.001+01:00

I appear to be pondering as to whether I have found the perfect man or not. He is everything I look for a in a man, almost scary (I thought that type of man didn't exist!!). However here is one who works hard, doesn’t scrimp and save, does things on a whim, doesn’t need to plan ahead, wants to be a stay at home dad when the time comes and wants to move to Canada. Could he be any more perfect for me? Because of this stupid pondering I have gone back into my wedding planning mode. I always do this. It's kind of a cure for boredom / a girly dream that I want to have everything planned perfectly. Yes I am a dedicated planner. I have plans of everything in my life. The kind of house / flat I want to have, the way I want it decorated, even the type of cutlery I would like to have. Is that slightly worrying!?
But this is my wedding planning mode I am in. I have recently come across some more very very cute things that I would love. However planning this has taken me back to looking at my ideal dress.

I found one by a wedding designer called Amy Michelson.
Check all her others here...http://www.amymichelson.com/amy_index_content.html
It’s beautiful isn’t it?!

Having to start again!

2008-09-07T11:57:00.002+01:00

This is from scratch as my last one kept crashing my computer!

So all posts will be redone today! :P
