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

Halloween

I have never been so involved in Halloween until this year. I managed to get some work with my friends being 'Halloween Actors' at our local 'Fright Night' which literally meant being paid to dress up and scare people. It was soooo cold and muddy but absolutely hilarious! I was completely dressed in black and I sat in the shadows behind a fence post and screamed at random passersby.

Fright Night Faces

Last night I went to a charity Halloween party dressed as Lady Gaga from the 'Telephone' video although I was slightly less exposed. I had the girls over before for pre-drinks which was a giggle as we danced to 'Gangnam Style'. This on reflection was probably a terrible idea.

Just a fangirl post...

I AM SO HAPPY. My copy of Red by Taylor Swift came by post this morning. I am in love... Thankyou play.com! It's signed (well, it has a squiggle of Sharpie pen on it but, hey!). Last night I managed to go and eat out for £5 including travel, I am so stingy and proud...

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!
