Boxing Day!

Christmas has been nice, a little hectic but nice!
Now it's time to wallow in my presents and enjoy the company of family and friends!
Instead of explaining what I got up to, here are some photos!

 

My local area. Mum&I had a little walk through the snow on Christmas day with my little pooch.
I have recieved some gorgeous gifts, my favourite being this lovely Hummingbird brooch and this lovely little suitcases. I really need to sort out my room so these boxes could really help.
Christmas has been fun :). Hope everyone had a good time! xx

Christmas Eve!

It is one day until Christmas and I am being a complete grinch because of the snow. I know it cannot be helped and what not but I have never been a lover and with all my parcels and general life being put on hold, I don't appreciate!
I am looking forward to a few quiet days. Quiet and healthy, as I have been pigging out so much lately but I'm putting it down to hibernation weight, ho hum.
Even though its only Christmas Eve, I have been lucky enough to recieve a few goodies!

I am also fortunate to have a new phone, as mine was dying a death, and look how pretty the case is! Now that is what I call a proper cover! (Cover, Ebay)Some new plasters, as I damage myself more than most! This little perfume is lovely and at a mere £2.99, a complete bargain! I love carrying a perfume around with me in my bag but hate carrying anything expensive as I tend to lose everything this is the perfect solution! (Circus plasters, gift. Perfume, H&M) A buddha statue and some lovely new candes! I love having candles and oils burning. (Candles, Ikea. Buddha, Durham Christmas Market) Some gorgeous bangles! Which don't fall off my child-like wrists. I don't think anyone will fully understand this achievement. Oh Well. (Bangles, Asda)

Anyway, I'm off to get ready to see the boy and eat too much, ommmm nommmm. Hope everyone else has an equally lovely Christmas Eve! xx

"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." - Charles Dickens

I am afraid to say it but, I really am a bit of a Grinch. It is probably because as a whole, my family isn't exactly close and we don't all meet up for a big meal. Which I'm kinda thankful for, as I hate huge shindigs. I hate big groups of people-even when it is family.
Saying all this however this year, I am feeling slightly more festive. Not tremendously but I would say my heart has grown at least one size! Soooooo, to get myself even more in the mood, I have a big pile of Christmas-sy DVDs to watch and overindulge in festive foods!
Now, I'm going to overload you with Christmas photos so that you can be just as festive!

P.S- like my new festive wallpaper?! Ohhh yes, I'm going all out! xx

"I came through thunder, the cold, wind, the rain and the snow To find you awake by your window sill"

We've been snowed in! Completely! It's hectic, people have fallen over and fractured ankles (get well soon, John!) as well as falling over in roads! Its been cold and traumatic...well, kinda.
I've actually had a pretty good time even though its cold and horrible. On Saturday night as a last minute plan I decided to go to town to see my uni friends to only find I would be there until earlier today! I have been snowed in...in Newcastle!
To be fair, it was warm, I had fun and amazing food but its only when it came to the point where my only choice would be to wear man boxers I decided to try and battle my way home. Battle is the complete right word as the buses are all over the place and on top of this lousy fact, the bus I was on broke down and made me walk for miles to get home!
Upsetting to say the least...unlikely prospects of me getting to university tomorrow. Ho Hum.
Oh well! Have some photos :)

Doris is in a Daze!

My lovely Vicki, from Doris Daze Imaginatorium, is having a right ol' time dealing with the clothes surrounding the Christmas festivities! I can totally relate to her, with that yes, you want to look drop, dead gorgeous but, you don't want to have no money for presents! Oh, I can totally relate to you, Vicki m'love!
As she has been so nice to me on her blog, and in general, I thought I would chuch together a little outfit for her so that I can help in any little way! The criteria focuses around lace&leopard print, which can I just say is amazing! I love both and if you threw in a bit of tweed&fur&feathers and oh my, I'm bought!
So here goes! I hope it helps a little.
These are all from ZARA and the reason I like them so is that they would be able to be transformed from a basic day dress to a fancy night dress!

As well as all these I know H&M have some nice dresses instore at the minute but the website is dire! This has taken sooo long and I feel terrible and ill and awful and bleurgh! So I may expand on this later but, I hope its helped a little my darling! xx

Countdown.

As I keep hearing everywhere we are nearing closer and close to Christmas, hell I even heard my first Christmas song on the radio yesterday. It greatly upset me as I do not like Christmas songs and well there is no way I want to rush past the 37 days (Yes, only 37 days!) till Christmas. If you are starting to shop I feel you should check out this site Not On The High Street. Apart from the fact they sell super nice stuff they are also slightly like Etsy in that it is made up of small, individual shops which of course appeals to me!

This is a major hint to everyone who is struggling to get me a present, as some people have said this, I suggest you go to this site! I love nearly all of it! xx

Time for Tea!

"Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage." -Catherine Douzel

I don't even like tea :)

butttttt

I still class this as one of my favourite Christmas presents!

My Gold Tea Pot...

(I was very lucky this Christmas and I was spoiled rotten :D)

So I've been using this as a coffee/lemon&ginger tea, tea pot!

Nommmmmmmmmmmmmm.


EDIT: I have just taken up knitting, so I'm creating a tea cosy
hahahaha, it may take a while :/

Giving Taking at Christmas

Father Tim Jones has told his parishioners its okay to shoplift!
 
Welllll, if a member of the clergy says this, it must be okay!

Just nipping to the shops…

He told the congregation: “My advice, as a Christian priest, is to shoplift. I do not offer such advice because I think that stealing is a good thing, or because I think it is harmless, for it is neither.I would ask that they do not steal from small, family businesses, but from large national businesses, knowing that the costs are ultimately passed on to the rest of us in the form of higher prices. I would ask them not to take any more than they need, for any longer than they need.”

Right so at least there are some boundaries, we wouldn’t want to steal from just anyone!

OH DEAR

another 'cock-up' for the church!

The amahzin' Father Tim 'Kleptomanic' Jones.

All I want for Christmas is...

An Otter!

Awhhhhh liccle cooooooties!

(I wish I was excited for Christmas :(, hopefully soon!)
