Valentine's Day

I have never written a post in advance before but then again by the time it gets to Valentines Day these goodies will have been wrapped and exchanged! Today is 4th February. I am celebrating Valentine's day with Anthony on Saturday 9th as he will be back in Bournemouth on the actual day. :(

 I got this super cute card in Paperchase, they have so many sweet animal related ones. As well as cards with cheesy chat-up lines on the front.

 I saw these 'Kisses Tickets' on Urban Outfitters and thought they were funny and really cute.

Of the 100 tickets there are 3 'Golden Tickets' which have extra detail such as 'kiss with hug'.

For the other part of my gift I sat and made little labels as I got 10 of this item, so there were enough from February to November.

I also think I am going to do some Valentine's baking like I did last year! There is almost always an excuse to make cakes or cookies.

Thoughts for February

The other day somebody mentioned that I hadn't had my SLR camera out for a long time, So I decided to take a few snaps. I miss photographing, I should really take my camera out more often!

Not sure of Bloggers photo quality, but this was taken on a Canon 600D. With a 50mm lens and a 1.8 aperture- lovely stuff!

December

I have had 5 exams in the January exam period. Biology Unit 4 and Chemistry Unit 4, as well as 3 retakes. These included: Maths Core 2, Mechanics Unit 1 and Biology Unit 2. I revised super hard and I will hopefully get all the results I need. On the night of the 1st of December I got my final 2 University offers.

Wednesday 14th December

Had Anthony's Nan's 80th Birthday Meal. Which was lovely to get dressed up for. I had the best steak and attempted to teach his Grandad to gangnam style!

Tuesday 25th December

I spent most of Christmas day with my family, Granddad and Anthony. Then the other part with Anthony's family where I had to open all of my gifts in front of a crowd.

Clockwise: Card from Nicola, Peas at Aunties, Tag on 'Wonderstruck' gift, Gemma Correll Jumper from Anthony

Wednesday 26th December

I spent Boxing Day with Anthony's family, we had a lovely dinner and had crackers. These crackers contained racing Santa sleighs. I had a really slow orange one and didn't do very well when racing!

Saturday 29th December

The evening before Anthony's birthday I managed to shut his head in my car door, ow. 29th was Anthony and his Mum's birthday woooo! I got him an orange and black Links of London bracelet.

Clockwise: Porkpie Hat from Anthony's parents, Cath Kidston makeup bag from brother, Slippers, Kindle and Case

Recycling?

 I love eBay, if anyone has any bargains they want to let me know about; It would be the best thing ever!

As I have been out of a job for over three months now I have been desperately finding ways to make money, So I decided to sell all my old clothes on eBay, which proved to be very easy! I then splashed out a little on ASOS... I convinced myself that this unnecessary expenditure is 'recycling' as I used the money I made from my clothes to buy new ones! I got a gorgeous daisy print dress for £10 in the ASOS sale, I love floral prints so much, to buy this was a no brainer. Then I proceeded to add a arran cardigan to my basket for an extra £35. I have issues with shopping online as I can rarely ever bare to part with my money, It always seems easier when you can redeem student discount. They had 25% off which meant my basket was reduced to £33! 

    I spend a lot of time reading blogs and I am an eager follower of 'Chelsea Jade Loves' and when I saw that she had an inflatable rucksack I simply couldn't resist. Earlier that week I had seen 'Made in Chelsea's' Rosie Fortesque tweet out about the Klear Klutch which inspired me to get the clear inflatable rucksack, which was an eBay bargain at just £3.50!

Last Thursday I took my driving test and PASSED FIRST TIME! I have caught the driving bug and I have been wanting to drive everywhere! I hope to go somewhere exciting at the weekend with Anthony as we have been together for a beautiful seven months now. On Sunday I went to go out in the car and I saw a lovely yellow envelope addressed to me poking out the letter box, I opened it to find an amazing Congratulations card from Anthony's family. It made me very smiley!

Busy Bee

Being Community Captain has suddenly become super difficult I am spending every last minute sorting out this play. We are doing 'Toy Story' the actors are awesome it just needs polishing off with a excessive amounts of facepaint.

At the weekend Anthony came back again which makes me super happy, I spent Friday at his munching on pizza and playing Mario Kart with Natalie and her friend.

Bag- Matalan, Jumper- Debenhams

Saturday Anthony and I went shopping I got this mega cute bag that looks like a fox from Matalan. Totally inspired by Nicola who instagrammed this thing of beauty.

It has been over a month since I last saw Nicola so today we met for a Starbucks, which was magical I had missed her so much. It involved lots of sharing and a cheeky polaroid too!

Rollercoaster

Soooo, something awesome happened this weekend. Anthony came home early! I couldn't even make 2 weeks without seeing him, how pathetic. I ate lots of cake in 2 weeks... After getting stuck at the train station  he managed to come home in time to take me out to dinner- how lovely! Anthony always does this thing where he says he will be half an hour then rings my door bell 2 minutes later, cause he's a cutie. On Sunday we went to the cinema to watch 'Looper' which despite being confusing was a really good film! Literally just before the film started Anthony dropped a little bomb by turning to me and going "I'll see you in two weeks..." when I was meant to be seeing him in a month, which was lovely. I just exploded after the film like 'WHAAAAAAAAAT!? :D'. It was a beautiful weekend.

Bournemouth Take 2

For the second Sunday in a row I visited Bournemouth with Anthony and his family. This time we left Anthony there. We arrived and helped him move all of his belongings I had no idea I had a boyfriend with so many clothes! Natalie and I had fun decorating the pin board with lots of sweet things and placing pictures and the pot plant I gave Anthony around the room. I am longing to go to university so much we are living such different lifestyles at the moment. I'm sleepy from long days at school and Anthony is sleepy from long nights out.

The Journey :)
