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!

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.
