sunday best

Please excuse me for being a bit of a shabby blogger this week 🙁 work has been busy busy, still getting settled into the new flat and I’ve had a few wee social engagements keeping me busy! As ye do 🙂 I’ve not done one of these in a while, but here’s a wee run down of my sunday best.

On the weakest link I’m making up graphics using vinyl lettering every single day. I love vinyl! I might get my graphics guy to make me something super cool for my macbook. The above transfer sells on ebay for about $10. Cuuuute.

On Saturday morning I went over to my grans to say howdy with David, and Aaron and Tyler were in. Man, they’ve grown! Both of them are so tall, and both of their hair is getting so long. Aaron refuses to get a hair cut by the way. After saying how big and grown up I thought they were looking, Tyler spent 4 hours in A&E on sat night cause of her ‘growing pains’ 🙁 Poor soul. She could hardly walk… something to do with infection/inflammation in her hip bone. Apparently its quite common in young ‘uns and does often get written off as growing pains. Ouch!

It was Blair’s 1st birthday on Saturday 🙂 I went to his party for a little while and did some face painting. Do you or any of your friends have little ones? Gemma had so much to organise for his party it was unreal, I really take my hat off to her! There’s some epic old pictures of me on my first birthday with a polka dot dress and postman pat cake 🙂

During the week I met my new little cousin Jack for the first time 🙂 It was my Grans birthday, so we all went round for tea and M&S birthday cake, drool! Jack’s mum is my dad’s sister, and she lives down south so we don’t get to see them all that often. He is huuuge in comparison to Max, haha and is only 3 months old. Look at those chubby cheeks!! My Aunty Jill breastfeeds him, and apparently he is the hungriest baby ever. He was still a total cutie though 🙂

And here’s my other wee cutie! Some photo time with Millie.

I’ve not quite mastered using my SLR on its tripod, how can I use self timer but properly focus when I’m not standing in position? If anyone has mastered using a tripod please share! Anyways, most of the shopping I’ve done recently (well, apart from my primark haulage a couple of weeks ago) has been online, and presents for other people. Nothing wrong with that I suppose tho eh? I did manage to use the models own 50% off code before it ran out, so I’ll share what I got when my parcel arrives. The lovely Zoella had a blog sale a while ago and I bought a few items from her. I was so pleased when they arrived during the week! Here’s what I got

H&M skull top.

Topshop patterened top, I didn’t take a pic of the back but its all open and criss cross.

New look dress! Thanks Zoe 🙂

Some of my best makeup and clothes bargains have been off blog sales, beginning to like them a bit more than ebay if I’m honest. Please feel free to link me if you have your eye on any at the moment! 🙂

I underestimated how much I love chilling with a munchie and watching a film when nothing good is on TV. During the week we watched the Hangover – I seriously love this film. Watched it a few times now, me and David have never laughed so much! This type of film – similar to Superbad – is totally my type of humour. Loves it!

One good thing I DID watch on TV this week was the T4 Katy Perry Music Special. Katy Perry is my ultimate girl crush. Her blog was the first blog I ever followed, and looking back on her capers from when she wasn’t so famous is pretty awesome, she is such a cool gal 🙂 I love her style, her music, and in interviews she is funny and always comes across as a nice person. Haha, check me getting all gushy. I’m such a loser! I’m not much of a celeb fiend, but I always like to know what Katy P is up to. Since seeing her play live at the Barrowlands last year, I was even more in love! Tour for the new album soon I hope. Actually, just to go to a gig in general soon would be nice. I feel like I haven’t been to one in so long! 🙁 When I was like 18/19 I always had a gig ticket in my diary for something that was coming up soon. Felt like there was so many more bands getting advertised in the paper on a sunday that I was like ‘aw man, I wanna go see them!’ any fellow music lovers know the feeling?

Well this certainly has been an eclectic mish mash of random rubbish 🙂 This week is my last week at the bbc until november, so between then I have a little bit of time off, I’m painting at the citz theatre for their panto, and I may be a dresser for a well known kids tv show’s live tour, which is coming up this way soon :S Random, but I’m waiting to hear back from them.

I got a phone call from the news of the world newspaper during the week, who had found my cv online and noticed I have worked on the x factor. In a nut shell, they were offering me money in return for any ‘information’ I could give them about the x factor and the whole auto tune shizzle thats in the news in the moment. Just because I was on the production team doesn’t mean I know anything about the decisions the producers make. What cheeky swines! She said if I ever change my mind, and have any stories or gossip I would like to shed with her about the TV industry, then I’ve just to give her a call… because they offer VERY good money for stories and information. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Leave me alone!

Any strange/unwanted happenings swing your way this week? Is your life full of random (sorry, I hate that word and how its so very much overused) stuff at the moment? I’m cosied up on the couch with a huge glass of dr pepper and some caramel digestives, mmmm 🙂

tawk to me!
