... in which I indulge

I don't feel well and am missing a hen party because of it, so to cheer myself up I'm gonna rave about some of the things I've been loving recently.

1. Epic wall clock from www.heals.co.uk



I saw it when I was shopping recently and the size of it blew me away. It's so big an imposing that you can almost hear it booming the time at you. I absolutely love it, but alas! I also love the teeny weeny clock we already have :)








2. No. 7 High Shine Lip Gloss (Smile flavour)



I can't usually rave about beauty products but I do think that No. 7 is a fantastic brand. And their lipgloss is yummy and stays on for ages.



3. Ollie and Nic

A gorgeous little shop <3 It was hard to exercise self control in there... even now I'm not sure how I managed.



4. Glee

Say what you want, I don't care.


5. Terry Pratchett

I just finished reading The Light Fantastic which is the second book in the Discworld series, and I'm about to move onto the third. It's great stuff, he's a very, very clever man.

... in which I set out my tasks

Wuhu!

Feeling (slightly) better today - although it's hard to tell for sure whilst still lounging in jammies.

After yesterday I need to be doubly productive today. I need to go and do stuff. Boring stuff. Banking.

And exciting stuff - buying a birthday present for John. I know what it is, and I know where to find it, so it should be an easy task.

In doing these things I also need to remember to not let shiny things and/or gorgeous shoes distract me from my tasks. And to not wander into a coffee shop.

Alreeet. Let's get going...

... in which I have the sad

Yeah, a little bit of the sad.

I spent far too much time this morning (4.30am-9.00am) feeling horrifically sick instead of doing what I should have been doing. Snoozing.

I did manage to catch up on the snooze from 9am-12pm but it meant that I then missed out on playing badminton with Cat which I'd been really looking forward to, and on getting my phone upgraded which is so overdue now it's ridiculous.

So instead of having the planned fun, I went out food shopping which is fun in it's own silly way. And now I'm home, reading one of my old Enid Blyton books for a bit of nostalgia. "Oh, I say! This lemonade is smashing!" etc etc etc. I think it's good for the soul. Nostalgia, that is.

Lemonade is great too.

And now my plans for the rest of the day involve the following;

- watching random eps of Sex and the City
- making a 3 bean salad
- dribbling over pictures of the new iPhone
- having several cups of tea

TTFN

.. in which I share my learnings

As someone with a Greek-Cypriot dad, I have been under the impression for years that I have olive skin. Turns out, I don't!

I'm pale.

Which I don't mind really. It's just kind of a surprise to learn that after all those years.

I went into work this morning to use the gym and play badminton. There was only two of us today (instead of the usual 4/5) so we played singles which is so much harder. But I feel good for the workout.

And my other friend wants to play tomorrow. I know by Wednesday I'll be aching like billy-o but it's too much fun to turn down.

TTFN, I need to go and start organising some form of dinner :)

...in which I confess

... to lusting after this Louis Vuitton bag;

http://www.louisvuitton.com/uk/flash/index.jsp?direct1=home_entry_gb

It's very pretty and very expensive. The kind of bag I would use to death. Unfortunately when most of your hard earned squids go towards food, petrol, rent and saving for a house (with a gaaaaarden) then LV bags have to take a back seat :)

... in which I marvel

I should feel really rough but surprisingly I don't.

John and I visited my parentals for dinner last night; I went with a stomach ache and the decision to not eat too much dinner for that very reason. Well, my mum is a fantastic cook so that plan went to pot and I wolfed down a very delicious dinner.

When we got home, John got on with some gaming, and I started to watch the 100 Greatest Scary TV/Movie Moments. Being an epic wimp, I did wonder whether this was the best thing to watch before bedtime, but I soldiered on through it, and at 2.30am we went to bed.

At 5.30am I was still awake and livid at whatever it was stopping me falling asleep, although I wasn't entirely sure what it was.

Anyway, here I am, up at 11am and not feeling too bad. It might be something to do with the lovely roast dinner I have to look forward to later :) oh yeah.

...in which I return to my beloved bloggy

I'm coming back :)

I just read back through all my entries on here, and it felt awesome. I decided I definitely need to get back into updating over here on Blogger.
