I quickly realised last night that posting my work placement pics might not be such a good idea in terms of confidentiality/copyright etc. This journal is reflective and personal to me and the people who read it, and sometimes I forget that people outside the blogger world can also see what I write here. So until I work out how and if I can make certain posts private, Ive taken the last one down for now. I’d been using this blog for uni related stuff that I get assessed on, but also as a personal journal. So I’ll just need to show my lecturer how I got on once I’m back in the academy, and have a proper conversation about it then!
However, thanks for all the supportive feedback 🙂 I was hoping to post about my parcel from my swap buddy Danielle, but it’s still not arrived yet 🙁 I’m hoping the volcano stuff starting up again hasn’t affected its journey to me. Me and David watched a bit of a documentary the other night about active volcanoes, it was amazing! I really love natural wonders and programmes exploring parts of the earth we’ve never seen before. But these volcanoes are just insane. Debris from the erruption falling down like rain and pretty much turning the sky from day to night. Scary 🙁 No wonder the planes arent allowed to fly when the ash is in the air, its pretty yucky and terrible stuff.
I got a call to let me know due to the monday bank holiday I didnt need to start my new placement at the Tron until tuesday. So this left me with an unexpected day off! David had to study so I went to Silverburn shopping centre for a wee wander 🙂
My tired, post shopping face! I’ve sold alot of clothes lately so when I popped past the Topshop sale I couldnt resist getting a few wee bargains. Stuff I’ve been needing, promise!
Had my eye on this Reko dress for a while now, was super glad to see it was reduced! Okay and maybe the cardigan wasnt in the sale, but I just bloody love cardigans and this one is mega cute. Feeling in a tidy kinda mood, I pulled everything out of my wardrobe and ended up throwing out lots of old socks, underwear, and bras that are too small for me. Theyre not the kinda things I’d give to charity (haha, would YOU buy second hand pants?) but I feel bad throwing all this material out. Wish it could be recycled the way paper and plastic can.
I’ve not had much luck with my ebay sales recently, so the few more items of clothes Im needing rid of can be donated to my mum (shes such a clothes/makeup/jewellery stealer) and I’ll take the nicer stuff to the charity shop. Having a clear out and a tidy up of my drawers, wardrobe, and even paperwork etc always makes me feel so much better. My room is pretty small, so its nice to know where everything is. I always hold onto makeup for far too long, and seeing the new topshop makeup range today has given me some motivation to clear up my makeup drawer and get replacing 😉 I dont know how good the range is or if many people have tried it out yet, but it looks so pretty!
Anyways, I’m off to drink tea and potter around the house to get some bits and bobs done. Thank you for the lovely words, as always ♥

Oh I love everything you bought! Especially the cardi and the dress. Perfect for summer! I watched a volcano thing the other night too! It might not have been the same one, as there are loads on at the moment, but it was really interesting! I feel we're showing our geeky side ;). xo

I love everything you bought! We have totally similiar wardrobes.
I had a 'pant drawer' clear out the other week, it's shame to bin it but I can't recycle it to make things and I can't give it away.

Wow, such good bargains!!
May 8, 2010 at 12:56 pmShame about the eBay slump, I've totally given it up because it's so much hassle! What about making another blog for the things you're selling? Then we can all have a nose, and your bits and bobs can be on display until a buyer comes along and buys for the price your items deserve! Unlike when things sell for 99p (hate that!) I'm thinking of doing it on my blog.
Haven't had a proper try of the Topshop stuff yet. Am having money troubles so am terrified of trying any of the makeup because I know I'll want to buy it all, if only for the pretty packaging! 🙂

Ah, gutted I missed your post before you decided to take it down! Hopefully I'll get a look when things are sorted. 🙂
Love your Topshop buys, especially that darling cardigan! A girl can never have too many cardis, that's what I say! xxx
