Catching up...

Good news! Finally getting around to posting some of the lovely things I've bought recently! Hooray! So let's get straight to it... First of all my lovely lovely underwear from Debenhams (Floozie by Frost French) Apologies for the fact that they're sideways, haven't worked out how to rotate them...
Both so utterly gorgeous and comfortable I have to hurry them through the laundry just so I can wear them again.

Secondly, my boots, these were a sale buy, there was only one pair left, £9 reduced from £35, and in my size. I couldn't not buy them really...

Nextly, it isn't hugely clear in the picture but it's Barry M instant effects gold foil nail paint. It actually looks really nice. I've tried proper gold foil nail art sticker thingies but you have to blow them with a hairdryer and then file the paper down and it's awkward, time consuming, and if you get it wrong they last about half an hour before falling off, in my case in the salad I was preparing for a BBQ with the in-laws... Fortunately at a BBQ virtually no one eats the salad so there were only a few moments of blind panic...
I also bought silver instant effects and one of those nifty magnet polishes. Problem is I haven't succeeded in making the magnet one actually work and produce a pattern just yet... So there's no sense in publishing a picture of that just yet... Once I get the hang of it I shall post about it, but currently no success...

Next up is my playsuit, it doesn't look much on the hanger but it's lovely on. Not sure how clear it is but the pattern is butterflies, very nice indeed, it has little sleeves to the elbow and the shortsy bit is nice and long, cos I tend to notice that playsuits are stupidly short, or I'm a bit too long, and you end up showing that little ridge at the bottom of your bum cheeks that is just really not all that endearing... but not so with this one, hurrah!

So all sorts of bits and pieces here, very pleased :) I went back to work today after the Easter holidays which are never ever long enough whether you're a student or a teacher! Although it was a little strange (read: blissful) to be at home during an Easter holidays and not be revising for exams or writing essays or doing coursework etc. It was so calm and not having to write out two units worth of notes a day or similar. This was replaced by half termly planning, but that is just much less pressurising as I won't fail at anything if I'm a bit slow with it...

Today's reasons to be happy, as I haven't done these in a while...

Number one, it's April! Already! 244 days til Christmas.

Today, the 24th April, is National Stationery Day. Now, I don't know about you, but I love stationery, I love a good trip to Staples and I always walk out with a snazzy new notebook or pen set whether I need them or not :D

I received a blog award from the lovely Ali who I went to uni with and am rather sad I didn't spend more time with as via blogging I appear to correspond with more than most of the people I went to uni with combined! She also has a really lovely blog :)

Finally I thought I'd end with a picture of Milly, just chillin'

  1. If you save your pictures as PNGs by going into Paint and then Save As > PNG, they should face the right way up :)
