feeling down :(

Just when things were picking up, everything has come crashing back down again! This past week has been a nightmare and I am in need of a SERIOUS pick-me-up! I have been feeling very very poorly for the past few days, i feel dizzy and sweaty and achy all the time :( so I have taken 2 days off work to try and get myself fighting fit again!
Also this weekend I have decided to take a break away from Mr S, and he has moved back in with his mum and dad for a few weeks whilst we work out some problems in our relationship.
********I have removed this part of my post just in case some certain silly people take it the wrong way, not worth it!!********
. So the agenda for the rest of the day? Lots of tea and pretty blog/shop browsing, it always makes me feel better :)

happy inside

I absolutely LOVE this new ikea advert, and had to share it with anyone and everyone who has or hasn't seen it yet :D it's just too cute for words!
Also I have decided to share ONE of my terrible graduation photo's with you all :P

I have a terrible tendancy to ALWAYS pull a silly face whenever i see a camera, this one is the least silly :) me and mr S.
Finally a big sorry to everybody, my blogger has been playing up lately, there are atleast 10 blogs I have commented on only to be faced with a "Problem loading page" message a few mins later :( boo!! x

if i were rich!

Ok so one of my favourite things to do when i'm bored at home, is to trawl through lovely homes for sale on the net!! I love imagining I have millions of pounds and that I could afford any of the ones I see! It is a VERY distant dream, but a little fantasy is always good, so i thought I would share with you some of my dream houses for sale in nottingham!

This Gorgeous house has the most stunning garden, and the room sizes are HUGE!!

I drive past this house all the time on my way through Southwell :) i always slow right down just to stare!! Look at the rooms!!!

This home is so quirky, I love it :D

I loooovvveeee the gardens around this house, and the rooms are incredible!

How about having your own lake?? This one is very modern compared to my usual tastes but i certainly wouldn't turn it down!

How's this for curb appeal!! a great big WOW!

And finally this house is more like a hotel! Just look at all of the photo's, I can't believe i've never noticed this place!
Ahhhhh wouldn't it be lovely to spend just a week in one of these places :) I know what I will be dreaming about tonight!!

new diet starts NOW!

Hello ladies! Well today I officially started the Rosemary Conley inch loss plan with my mum! It's a diet and exercise regime that claims you can loose a stone in a month (wouldn't that be nice?!) Our first meeting was tonight at 7.30, where we were given a little goody bag and our target card. The best things in my bag were firstly the magic measure

It's a regular measure that comes with colour coded clips. You get two of each colour clip, one that doesn't come off once it's closed, and one that does! The point of this is to mark your original measurements all over, so you can see how many inches you've lost :) it seems like a good idea for motivation, we'll see how it goes!

Secondly are these portion pots, you get a little guide to tell you what each pot measures, to help make sure you have the right sized portion! It will make life much easier, but knowing my usual portions i think I will be going hungry a few times in the next couple of weeks, especially as for the first 2 weeks of the plan you can only have 1400 cals a day!!
Not too long ago I did take part in the this morning healthy starts diet. This was a good diet as it was nice to have meals planned out without counting all of the calories. Admittedly i did loose nearly 2 stone on that diet, but I did not get my money's worth as due to matt loosing his job, we couldn't afford to buy any of the groceries we needed for the recipes! Fingers crossed this one is a little more affordable and is easier to stick too :) I will keep you posted on my hopeful weight loss!!

new ideas for my head!

Ok so as some of you may know I have a bit of a thing for colouring my hair :) my most recent favourite was my lovely bright red! Unfortunately the red would only last an average of 2 days!! I loved the colour soooo much, but staining my hands and neck every other day wasn't an option! Another shock was to find that red is even harder to bleach out than black! So for the past couple of months I have been a brunette, and as of 2 weeks ago, I am now an odd gingery blonde!

Not far off this colour! It's not the nicest colour in the world, but it is working progress, as this is the beautiful colour I want to get to!

Isn't it yummy :D but it seems a very distant dream right now!! So far my hair has been bleached 4 times and it is STILL orange!! But it'll all be worth it in the end :D
Also a big thanks for all your messages for my graduation :) it was a lovely day, and being in all the black robes, and having the ceremony in lincoln cathedral felt just like being in harry potter! hehe! Photo's will be coming as soon as dad gives my camera back!

Graduation!

Today is my graduation day from Lincoln uni :) I am very much looking forward to getting it all out of the way! I have been haunted by dreams of falling flat on my face for the past week, so today will be full of nerves and giggles hehe!

Fingers crossed it all goes well!!

Discount count down!!

Hi all!
I've been itching for a good old fashioned shopping spree for a while! But with only one income coming in and a hell of a lot of payments going out, I have to keep on waiting to get my fix!!
In another week I will finally be entitled to my staff discount at dwell, which is great as I have a list as long as my arm of things I want to buy when we have the cash! Here are some of the bits I'm loving right now :D

This table is just too beautiful! In real life the veneer is so yummy! Definately want this in my kitchen :D

This coat stand is amazing, I'd just use it to hang ornaments or jewellery from!

These glasses are stunning, they have a really classy vintage look, and are so sparkly :D

Another awsome bit of sparkle! This skull is covered in little diamonte's! It's so rock and roll :P

This sofa is beautiful, the colour is soooooo nice! I always have to stroke our model in the showroom when I go past hehe!!

I love this vase, it's really heavy, but the roses are so pretty! We had one of these with a lovely flower arrangement on display in our window last week, Looks amazing!!

Finally these salt and pepper shakers. A customer ordered some of these and picked them up today, I had a sneek peak at them as we haven't had any in our store yet! They are ADORABLE! I have to have to HAVE to buy these when I have some more pennies :D

For now though I'm just enjoying seeing all of the new pieces coming in from the new catalogue :) every delivery is like christmas! Except I don't get to take everything home! If anybody wants to check out the rest of dwell's goodies, I can pop you on the mailing list to recieve our catalogue and vouchers :D yay!! xx
