Day 9 - A photo of something you've been wanting to do

To be honest there are so many things I would love to do but I will go with the obvious and the reason why!
















I don't have to win millions but just enough for Michael and I to be able to live comfortably without us having to work.

The main reason is that I would love to dedicate my life to helping animals, it makes me feel very emotional when I talk about it but I have a real affinity with animals. I hate to see cruelty and I admire people who work tirelessly to help them.

I would love to have enough money to help different charities and work voluntarily with the animals.

Also I would love to pay to send my parents on an around the world cruise in the best cabin available...they would be overjoyed at that.

Today I went to Swindon to see a friend. I brought a few items but will post about this tomorrow.

Also there is bad news on the Toby front, my in laws had been letting him out and he was coming back but they let him out last night and he has not returned.

I am really upset I just hope he is ok, he is so trusting and he could get into the wrong hands. I hope he comes back soon!

£5 Boots & Day 8 - A photo of your favorite band/musician

Hello

Yesterday I had to go to the bank and so I had a little wander and popped into Peacocks.

I picked these boots up in the sale for a fiver.




















Snow Patrol are my favourite band at the moment but I also love The Script.

Day 6 - A photo that makes you laugh

I am sure if Thomas could speak he would be saying 'don't mess with me'!

Yesterday we had fun as a stray cat that looked a lot like Thomas came into our house by accident and started eating Thomas's food!
It was lucky Tom was out.

The poor cat was starving so we gave him some food. The trouble is this cat is very friendly and the previous night we had seen a young lad walking down the street go to kick it luckily the cat moved in time but I was so angry I was going to go and say something. I rang the RSPCA and explained that this cat was starving at that I had seen someone try to kick him and they said they could not do anything until it had been kicked!!! How ridiculous is that!

They would not come out or do anything so therefore Mike's parents took him in for the night as they love cats. Apparently last night he was cuddled up with my mother in law on the sofa snoring! He is a bit of a livewire, he has already stuck his tail in my father in laws glass of whisky then licked his tail, hung around my father in laws neck and broken two teapots. My mother in law reckons because he is so lively maybe someone did not want him. He is incredibly affectionate though.

If I see a notice for a missing cat then of course we will give the cat back but at least for now he has a home. They have said that if no one claims him they will keep him they have already nicknamed him Toby.

We would have taken him in but I don't think Tom would have liked it, he could smell that the cat had been in our house and he did not like it!

Day 5. A photo of your favourite book

This was a difficult one as I love reading and I love so many books.

But I guess my favourite would be the Sophie Kinsella Shopaholic books

I have them all except Mini Shopaholic which I plan to buy soon.
They ae all equally as good so therefore I will have to say the whole series.

I'm in the orange!

Today I had to pop to the doctors so I thought I may as well have a look around a few shops.

I popped into H&M and picked up this lovely orange cardigan.
The colour is so vibrant and I love the crochet around the neck. It goes really well with a few of my floral dresses. It will look lovely for this summer and I think orange definitely suits me!

I brought a pair of black leggings for £7.99. H&M have some good leggings that are a bit thicker than the £5.99 ones and they are a really good fit.
Also brought the bow earrings from H&M and the pinky earrings were in the sale in Boots.

In Boots I brought some ceramic curling tongs which were only £11, I was a bit dubious as to whether they would be any good but they do actually work really well.

Last night I watched PS I love You, I had not read the book and not seen the film before. I thought it was a lovely film. I cried most of the way through it and I have to admit I fancied her husband who died and the irish guy she met in Ireland was pretty nice. I do love the irish accent too northern and southern!
I am going to have to buy this on DVD now, such a nice film.
Mike wasn't interested though he fell asleep ha ha, not really a mans film!

Day 4 - A photo of the last place you went on holiday

Last year for the first time in ages we did not go abroad. We only ended up going to Torquay for a week as at the moment we are in the process of doing up our house.

These are some photos of Torquay. I really like it there, we went to the coastal zoo and Paignton Zoo they were both really good.






















This year we are planning to go back to Tenerife this is the hotel we are going to book. Its right by the beach.
Last time we stayed in the hotel next door which was really nice but we went into this hotel to have a look around and just thought it was so luxurious.

This is the beach by the hotel

And the fountain that lights up and dances to music.























So looking forward to going back!

New spring clothing buys!

Hello

Well I ventured out today as I had to go to an appointment in town.
I have not really been out much lately due to the way I have been feeling.

In New Look I brought this dress/top from the Pussycat concession. To be honest its meant to be a dress but its very short so I am going to wear it with jeggings I love it as its so pretty and summery. I wonder if its too young for me but hey ho I like it so I shall wear it.





















In Primark I picked up this dress
























Cream frill sleeved top




















I love the sleeves.





















and a oouple of basic tops. (won't bother with photos of these)

Tomorrow night Mike and I are going out for a meal with 2 other couples so I will be getting all dressed up. I have not been out for a meal in ages so I am looking forward to this.

What are your plans for the weekend?
