ITS MY 21ST IN 2 DAYS

Well technically 3 sleeps (23rd July) but it's officially two days away now :), Anyhow I have a ton of posts I need to get on here so I will try my hardest to get them done as soon as my birthday weekend is over on Tuesday the 24th.

I'm so excited for the coming weekend I'm going to my home town tomorrow with my boyfriend to see my close friends and family and having my birthday night out Saturday night, Rotherham town is on the cards ;) If you don't know where and what Rotherham is your not missing much! I can't wait however as I haven't seen some of these girls in over a year and one of them has just found out she's pregnant :) HOW EXCITING! I'm going to be an un-offical Auntie!

Sunday will probably be spent with my family and then Monday well.... ITS MY BIRTHDAY. I'm so giddy I can't wait to see what Phil's bought me, he's hidden my presents in the house and I've had to resist all urges to spy!

I shall be back to Blogging as of Tuesday with lots of exciting posts and most definitely a personal post about my 21st

What do you think of the dress I'm wearing tomorrow? This is part of my New Look Sale Haul
Kelly Brook range and reduced from £39.99 to £18 BARGAIN!!!

7 things in 7 day, More like not so 7 things in 14 days

So on the 1st of July I gave myself the "7 things in 7 days task" and can happily say 14 days later I've completed...dah dah dah... 5 of them :/ ooops, however I must say I am quite proud of achieving that and can honestly say if I hadn't done this task I probably wouldn't have done any, well apart from the clean and tidy my room as we have started having viewings at our flat again.

7 things in 7 days

1 - Bake  - Phil keeps begging me to bake some scones and I've been promising I will for the past two weeks so I suppose this week I should give it a go.



I BAKED SCONES and made my boyfriend's day :) I think. 


So they didn't turn out as perfect as I expected but hey they were a first attempt, I must admit I won't use the recipe I used again next time I will use the one my Grandma donated her scones are the best scones I've ever tasted

2 - Do a craft project - I've been meaning to start my scrapbook since just after Christmas and I've accumulated a huge box full of scrap-booking goodies over the past 6 months as well as buying a ton of bits and bobs off Ebay, I think its time I finally gave it a go.

Still haven't started this so that's 7 months I've been meaning to now! 
I WILL START IT THIS WEEKEND!!!

3 - Sort out my wardrobe - I've got tons of bits and bobs that need sticking on Ebay and rediscovering. 

My half of the wardrobe looks presentable now and I even managed to sell a few items on Ebay bonus!


4 - Clean and tidy my room - Needs doing pretty much everyday in our flat.

We didn't just tidy the bedroom me and my other half spent the entirety of 4 hours yesterday tidying every room in our flat, yes we might have done it because there was a viewing in our flat but its still tidy now and its been like that for way over 24 hours ;)

5 - Put all my music onto my iphone - Everytime I find time to do this my iphone decides its not co-operating so I think this week I should finally ask my technical boyfriend to help me out. 

Need to get around to doing this as I've just been lazy and listening to my old ipod and by old I mean Ipod Nano first gen old! were talking 2006 tunes.

6 - Read - For once I'm actually doing pretty well with this as I've become engrossed in the Fifty Shades trilogy throughout the past week and I'm already on the third and final book

I'm extremely proud of this I hadn't read a book completely since the Twilight Saga back at the beginning of 2010 naughty me, I love reading and thanks to The Fifty Shades trilogy I am now officially back into reading after finishing all of the books in just over a week.
I've decided to make a start on the Hunger Games and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy's as I have had the first books of both for ages and am yet to complete them.

7 - Comment more - I keep reading Blogs and forgetting to comment when I love a post, I love receiving a comment it can make my day so I aim to make more people's days by leaving them lovely comments :)

All I can say about this one is DONE! :D

I've had a lucky week ♥ *Competition Wins*

Since beginning comping last month I had only won one competition last month which was 2 tickets to the Latitude festival and tour de latitude worth £400 however unfortunately me and my partner were not able to attend and its currently taking place now :( Gutted is an understatement, we are currently skint and couldn't afford £50 a piece for the trains to Ipswich and we weren't having luck in finding cheap bikes so it was a no-no.
This week though as I was moping about not being able to attend the festival 3 competition wins came my way :D. 2 Twitter wins and one unexpected win through the post.




1. This was my surprise and favourite win 
Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara RRP: £7.99
I've been meaning to try this out for a long time so now I finally can and for free :) yipeee

2.Twitter Win (Play Magazine) 
Planet 51 Playstation 3 Game :RRP: £8.99
I will probably give this to my niece... eventually... after I've had a go of course ;) I'm such a big kid and Phil says the game is 2 player so I'm guessing after a few glasses of wine this will be tons of fun.

3.My final win was a Twitter win from Tesco Baby Club
Cow and Gate Weaning Pack : RRP:£15
I'm yet to receive this and no I'm not a mummy but I'm going to be an Auntie again next month to my Brother and his wives baby boy so this prize will be going to them.

Still gutted about missing the Latitude Festival however I did receive some goodies from them the other day one being a Latitude Book bag :) these prizes have cheered me up and gave me some serious hope in Comping within 2 months of comping I've won 4 prizes :D 

What do you think of my prizes?
Do you enter competitions regularly?

Boohoo.com Sale Wishlist

When I received an email this morning with the subject: SALE SALE SALE! Dresses from £8! from Boohoo.com I had to have a browse and found some lovely items (mostly floral) that I would like to purchase. Boohoo.com has been my favourite online clothes shopping site for about 3 years and until I started blogging and discovered a wider world of online shopping it used to be the first and only place I'd go to online for a new outfit. After my browse this morning I remembered why its my favourite, most of their clothes are floral, girlie dresses ( my favourite) and reasonably priced with or without a sale. The problem however is I've given myself a clothes ban until before my 21st (So I can buy myself a lovely outfit or two) which is on the 23rd of July also me and Phil are looking for a new flat and I know were going to have to fork out tons of money on paperwork, deposits and rent. So here's my wishlist I might cheekily invest in one of these items because I have a perfect excuse the excuse being I've just passed my first year of university with flying colours and I am yet to treat myself.

1. Polly Ditsy Print Full Skirt 

£7.00 was £12.00

2. Arina Rose Print Peplum Strappy Dress
£12.00 was £20.00

3. Sandra Halterneck Structured Fit & Flare Dress

£15.00 was £25.00 


4. Cara Floral Bow Waist Net Frill Prom Dress

£12.00 was £20.00

5. Katie Ditsy Print 50's Plaited Belt Dress

£15.00 was £20.00 


6. Amy Box Pleat Skater With Lace Insert

£12.00 was £20.00


7. Jess All Over Floral Print Sleeveless Dress

£15.00 was £20.00


8. Pippa Black Suedette Bow Cage Platform Heels

£22.00 was £30.00
