The gloves are on!

Gosh its so so cold, this week I am on the 8-4 shift at work and had to be on the bus stop at 7am this morning! Nice.

It was so freezing I decided at lunchtime I was going to buy a pair of gloves as I don't actually own any.  I think the reason I never had any was that I used to drive to work and parked in the car park so there was not much standing around for long.

I could not decide whether to get leather, angora or just plain knitted ones but when I saw these in H&M decided I had to have them. I love the fake fur cuffs.

My little hands feel warm and toasty with these on.

The Versatile Blogger award

Just to say that with regards to my previous post our neighbour came around today and could not thank us enough for calling the fire brigade which was really nice.

Ages ago I was given this award by the lovely Vikki of http://victorias-vintage.blogspot.com/ and Laura of http://prettyrandomx.blogspot.com/- thanks girls ♥ Sorry it has taken so long for me to do this!

RULES

1 You have to thank the person that gave you the award and a link back to their blog.

2 Then you have to share 7 facts about yourself.

3 you then have to send the award on to 15 other bloggers whose blogs that you appreciate and then let them know that they have been given the award.

7 facts about me - you may have heard these before!

1, I love animals.

2, I am loving the tv show Pan Am, its so glamorous and romantic! I am an old fashioned girl.

3, I love plaits.

4, I hate shellfish and nuts!

5, I am a worrier in fact I worry so much I worry about what I am going to worry about next! I wish I could stop worrying as sometimes I should be enjoying myself but I am too busy worrying! I also care a lot about things that happen to others or to animals. Even if things don't actually affect me personally they still affect me inside if you know what I mean.

6, My guilty pleasure is watching Sorority Girls on E4! How sad I hear you say, but I would have loved to have been in a Sorority when I was younger.

 Arianna is my favourite Sorority Girl I think she is just so sweet and pretty and just seems really nice.

7, I love clothes and make up and anything girly but hate it when people assume girly girls are shallow and vacant as its not always the case!

I am giving this award to anyone who wants to do this.

FIRE!

Hiya everyone

This morning I was awoken by the sound of our neighbours fire alarm going off! I knew they had gone out as they are church goers and thought it was a bit strange, but you know how it is you worry about calling the fire brigade for fear of wasting their time.

It had been sounding for about 10 minutes and I thought I could smell a faint burning smell so I decided I ought to call the fire brigade just in case.
  What a treat on a Sunday morning hunky firemen knocking on the front door, luckily I was dressed. 
 As it happens there was a fire, the owners had left a saucepan on the hob and gone out!  The firemen had to wear breathing apparatus so it was pretty bad.  The fire officer said it could have been a lot worse and it was good that I had rang.

What a morning!!

I have not done much the last couple of days I am still so tired and getting used to being back at work.
Yesterday I went christmas shopping and managed to get a few presents I also managed to treat myself to a few items too...naughty naughty.
I will blog about these tomorrow.

Have a lovely weekend

Online orders - Forever 21, Topshop & River Island

I have sold a few things on ebay recently and have quite a bit of money in my paypal account.  Today I made a few little online orders.  Its like recycling old clothes and buying new with the money...I like this idea!

I have ordered this lace dress from Forever 21.  I fell in love with this I think it will be really flattering too.

In Topshop I have ordered this dress I think it will be nice for work.

and in River Island I ordered this jumper. I think its so pretty.

Oh and I also bought this gorgeous pink scarf in H&M its so soft and warm.

The ASOS dresses came today and they are awful.  They are massive and look really stupid, but on a good note the New Look pink knitted dress is gorgeous!

I am going christmas shopping on Saturday and I am also on the look out for a nice cream cable knit cardigan if anyone has seen any! I saw some in Primark but they don't look that nice!

Last night and winter dresses order!

Hi everyone

We had such a fab time last night we went for a lovely meal in Cheltenham and then ended up walking, what seemed like the entire centre of Cheltenham in the early hours trying to find a certain bar! We walked for what seemed like ages and ended up not having a clue where we were.  This was getting on for 1am and luckily we saw two policemen who could see we were lost and advised us where the nearest clubs were. My feet were in agony walking in those high heels though...ouch! They are stil hurting now! 

We ended up getting back to my friends house at 3am and then chatting for 2 hours before finally getting to bed at 5am this morning....I had 3 hours sleep so I am soooo tired!

Isn't it strange how you have the funniest conversations in the early hours of ths morning??
 I really have not laughed so much in ages.

My friend made us a lovely cooked breakfast before I came home.  She then had to drive to Surrey to see her family, she must be so tired.  She took some great photos so I will have them later in the week.

I made a couple of orders online today I ordered this knitted dress in red and black from ASOS.  Not sure if I will keep both but I am hoping the red is nice!

and this pink knitted dress from New Look - not 100% sure on this as it depends on the shade of pink!

Hope you all had a fab weekend

Who let the cat out of the bag?

I saw this today in Miss Selfridge and I have to have it!

How cute!!!!

Its haul time!

Hello lovelies

This is what I bought on Saturday in Brum.

We actually went in many stores but I only bought things from two shops!! 

In New Look I bought

Gold sequin shoes - got 20% off these with a voucher. These are surprisingly comfortable and I may wear them out next weekend.

Pretty Floral dress - I ♥ this dress it was originally £29.99 but had £10 off and it looks really nice on

In Primark

Peter Pan ponte style collar dress - ♥ this dress too

Knitted skirt

Floral shopper -very Cath Kidston

Cream pearl hairband

I also ordered these shoes from New Look online as they are giving free delivery at the moment and 20% off with the code

They are not exactly sexy but the low heel is ideal for work.

So I did not exactly buy much! I love Mango and Zara in Birmingham but there was nothing I liked and I loved Forever 21...its massive but again there was nothing I liked...disappointing!

Birmingham outfit

Hello everyone

Sorry I have been a bad blogger as I have not been on blogger much lately.  I will be catching up on everyone's blogs this weekend though.

Today my friend Yimen and I went to the Bullring in Birmingham.

We had a lovely day although it was packed!!!

This is my outfit (photo was taken in the Forever 21 changing rooms...I love the pink doors!!)

Lace Dress - George at Asda

Belt - Primark

Tights - Primark

Leather boots - New Look

Cream cardigan - Zara (not pictured)

Necklace - New Look

Forever 21 is massive I never bought anything in there but Yimen did.

I did buy some lovely new items and I shall blog about these tomorrow or Monday as I need to take photos.

On Friday night Yimen and I exchanged birthday presents, her birthday is 3 days before mine. I bought her a purple Nica handbag as she loves Nica and she bought me this gorgeous cream clutch bag which is Star by Julien Macdonald from Debenhams....its gorgeous.

I love the little storage bag they give you with it to protect it.

Funny how we both bought each other handbags.

Whats in the Hello Kitty bag?

Thanks so much for your birthday wishes in my previous post.

Ok so I am 39 now but I love Hello Kitty...is that bad?? Also so does my closest friend who is 31 ha ha

It was my friend's birthday last week, yes we are both Scorpios!  I am seeing her this Friday night as she is coming to stay over as we have to leave early on Saturday for our trip to Birmingham. 

This is her birthday present wrapped in Hello Kitty paper with the Hello Kitty bag I cannot wait to see her face when she sees it.

I better not mention what I bought her in case she reads this (I don't think she does so think I am safe but just in case!)

So looking foward to Friday just need to get a working week out of the way first. Maybe I should think about going part time...!
