finally...

I joined the library! I think it was on my weekly wishes for weeks but I finally got there and I'm so glad I did (any reading suggestions-pass them my way). It's helping me cross off a couple of things of my 22 before 23 list and deep down I really am a bookworm.

glastonbury wishlist.

1. Polka dot mac. || 2. tent. || 3. asos stripe top. || 4. h&m dress. || 5. nail rock wraps.

Usually I have a whole heap of clothes in wardrobe reading for Glastonbury, but seeing as I haven't gone in 2/3 years and always clearing out my wardrobe there isn't much left. I'm sure I can scramble some stuff together and maybe add the above in and I'll be ready to dance in my welly boots along with everyone else.

This week I've:

# been squashed on the tube.

# been amazed at getting seats (yes, multiple) on the tube at home time.

# cabbed it from one side of London to the other.

# eaten so much mozzarella.

# arranged to meet up with a friend.

# loved getting into bed at the end of the day.

needs must.

1.asos playsuit. || 2. closet polka dot dress. || 3.shuch flats. ||

4. essie in bordeaux. || 5. to do list.

Goodness me I want all these things. That Closet dress has pockets! It may be one of the nicest dresses I've seen in a while and the pockets make it that little bit more casual. And the playsuit, well I thinking more and more that it may be a payday treat. It looks so nice and something that can be dressed up/down and worn in summer and winter. I'm not sure how many more essie nail varnishes I need but one more can't hurt right?! And that organiser is so cute and would save me many pieces of paper that I usually have floating around our house!

1. Stripe top. || 2. Sunglasses.|| 3. Bangles || 4. Vest top. || 5. Cushions & Lantern

This list could have gone on forever and I did want to add a pair of shoes to it but they have disappeared from the internet the shop didn't have my size the other day. Spring is slowly coming; it may be freezing still but the sun is starting to shine. I need an influx of money (maybe I'll go buy a lottery ticket) and then these goodies will be mine.

While on my trip to Richmond, I went into River Island and my goodness, I could have made a huge dent in my bank balance. So many things I like; I don't know whether to treat myself or start hinting about Christmas presents!

The knitted dress (although with my height I'm guessing it'll be a jumper!) is my favourite and I think if present buying goes well then I may just treat myself to an early present. I just think it is so perfect to make smart or casual. I think it's safe to say I'm in love with it!

wednesday and yesterday.

 

 

Yesterday:

 

# I felt very fancy and efficient sending a bunch of emails and making phone calls.

# Got held up at work, missed my train and so bought new shoes.

# Had an early shower.

# Snuggled under the duvet, on the sofa and read my book.

# Had cheesecake for pudding.

# Woke up lots because of the pouring rain.

 

 

Today:

 

# I helped my friend finally understand the tube; that northbound means you're going north!

# Got excited that it's midweek and almost the weekend.

# Had mine and Alex's friend around for dinner.

# Bought insoles for my new shoes so I can wear them in tomorrow.

# Left the boys playing video games.

# Felt very sleepy.

# Searched for frames in our local charity shops.

# Had a lovely bacon sandwich made by Alex.

# Drank tea.

# Watched a Disney film.

# Moaned that my next day off isn't until Saturday.

# Cleared out loads of things from our wardrobe.

# Wore a scarf all day (but not my chunky one, not just yet).

Although I didn't end up buying too much in Windsor I did manage to buy my notepad that I was talking about the other day (here). I got a lovely one from Paperchase and it has already been used. I have to admit, I only used it on the train today, but it's great for putting all my ideas down etc. It's been pretty good so far and has helped me plan loads more when it comes to blogging than I usually do. I've also hidden ideas for Christmas in there too; I'm sure general ideas and plans will also follow.

ever wondered...

... what people on trains write in their fancy black notepads with black inky pens? Me too, and I want to join their club! I don't need an excuse to buy stationery, but seeing as there is no school year for me to start I seem to be missing out. So it seems that to fill that gap I'll just continue to buy stationery anyway, this time finding a lovely little notepad.

Then my train journeys can be filled with:

- blog planning.

- shopping lists.

- Christmas planning.

- general doodling and ideas.

 

Then people might look and me and think 'how mysterious, what is she writing in her black notepad with her inky pen?'

Only now that I have moved away and come to visit that I can truly appreciate where my parents brought me up. Just like the city there are many things I love about living in the countryside.
