It's Really Me

Sorry for the very long absence everyone. I've had a lovely few weeks of family visiting and this week I'm stressing with school starting tomorrow! How an earth can my little one be going to primary school already?

I'm trying to calm down enough to get back into the swing of posting. I have had a very good suggestion for a regular post so watch this space and hopefully it works out well. I'll start the ball rolling with pics of my lovely birthday presents this weekend.

Hope you've all had a good summer

I Should Read The Fineprint

Last night I sat for hours trying to figure out how to crop things for polyvore to make a set of things I want for my birthday. I gave up in the end thoroughly fed up at my slow pace and boring set. I've just turned on the laptop to have another go and low and behold all the items I clipped have appeared as posts on my blog!!!!! Does anyone know how I managed to do that without even knowing it could be done? lol

The key and lock pendant and the heeled brogues are my favourite pieces. I'm lucky enough to get money from my grandparents every year so I can hopefully get everything on my wish list one way or another. I know its not the biggest list but I love going out knowing I have money I can spend and come home with some treasures.

I'm on the look out for rust coloured shorts this summer and a mustard coloured blouse. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Monday, 1 August 2011

I've had the weekend from hell with working Saturday and Sunday and now we're back into another week of work again! You don't realise how precious those two days off are until you don't have them. I do realise I'm spoilt having the weekend off when loads of people have to work but I really missed seeing Paul and Aimee.

Paul took Aimee camping for the night as I was working late on Saturday night and starting early on Sunday morning. I'm not a fan of camping but Aimee had a ball. I have tried it but sleeping in a small tent, on the ground just doesn't appeal to me. What do you think of camping? Are you a fan?

Below are more pics of my anniversary weekend away. I got this dress for my birthday last year and my mum is horrified by the ruffles but I love it. Thanks again to Paul for his patience while taking photos for me. I tried very hard not to be too fussy...I hope it came across that way! lol
