Walt Disney has my Heart x

Every year at Christmas time, my mum and I choose what colour theme we are going to decorate the tree. One year we done all pink..

 

One year we done tradition and went all green and red but this year we are going DISNEY! We are decorating the tree and the house with Minnie & Mickey Mouse (and friends). The decorations are really expensive so we will be making our own.
We will be using bobbles we already have and sticking on Minnie & Mickey mouse stickers and  I've bought wrapping paper and gift tags with Minnie & Mickey on them and I will be using them to make decorations to hang from the roof and off the walls. The presents under the tree will all be wrapped in mini Minnie & Mickey faces! I have also printed out colour in pages that my mum and I are going to colour in together then cut round to decorate with (its Mickey & Minnie wearing Santa hats of course). I just need to get myself some felt tip pens.

 I love Disney and I can't wait to make all of our decorations then get them up in the house on the 1st of December.

Blether again soon...

 



Welcome into my living room Ant & Dec!

Lets get ready to JUNGLE!


I am beyond happy that the boys (Ant and Dec) are back on tv for I'm a Celebrity Get Me Outta Here! It's the one show that I always keep up with. I get bored with Big Brother and irritated with X factor after the auditions where you see all the dreamers but I'm a Celeb is my pleasure, Not guilty because I bloody love it and I don't feel guilty about the fact my life gets a little bit more exciting once it starts on tv...Okay maybe that does sound just a wee bit sad

I don't care its hilarious and with Joey Essex in the line up this year I can't wait to hear all the puns. Tonight was only the first night and he already used a word that exists in no dictionary "Confrontate"! Already cracking up I can tell this year is gonna be a good one.

Every year when it comes on there is someone I can't stand and someone I absolutely love. This year Kian Egan from Westlife has won his spot as my FAVE just 'cause he's Irish, sexy, seems absolutely lovely and I want to share his sleeping bag with him and Matthew Wright has won/lost to the spot of someone who I think will annoy me, he has already cried in the first show...come on man, be one!

Mind you, they probably change once we get to know everyone better, you know once the settle into their new 'home' and meet some of their other 'residents' who will be creeping & crawling with them for the next 3 weeks...Eeeeek I can't wait!

Coca Cola Made it Official

Dear Santa,

I would like to save money

this Christmas please…

   

 

The Coca Cola advert has been on TV which officially means that Christmas is Coming!

Normally I dread when people start to speak about Santa’s visit because of the money that is spent but this Christmas I am going to be trying everything that I can to save some money but still give people thoughtful & great gifts. Here is one of my ideas that I will be trying this year –

I first thought of buying empty jam jars but I couldn’t find any that were cheap enough so I waited until my mum burned her candles which come in jars and I washed them out and peeled away the label.

Once I have got the jar I am going to fill it with each person’s favourite sweets. One of my aunties loves jelly beans so hers will be filled with them but half way through filling the jar up I am going to hide a piece of jewellery in a cute wee box, not something really expensive, probably something from a jewellery maker I know.

Then to finish it off I am going to tie a piece of ribbon (their favourite colour) round the top with a small card with a quote that explains our relationship. I don’t know if it’s really cheesy or not but I think it’s really meaningful and that’s exactly the type of gifts I like to give.

 

 

I’ll hopefully be going to macro this weekend to get sweeeeeeets. Once I’ve done my first one I will post some photos of the finished result.

I Want to Split up with my Split Ends

My split ends are so bad that people have asked me if my hair is dip-dyed! Its static all the time and it just never sits nice anymore.

This what it looks like just now...

I haven't got a fake tan or been tango'd, I just wanted to show you my hair how it is now.

Its beyond limp & lifeless, my 'fringe' is so long it doesn't count as a fringe anymore.

So, I'm booking an appointment at the hairdressers so I can run my fingers through my hair and have it feel healthy & hair-like rather than brittle & fake (feels like a set of bad extensions).

Here's some of the ideas of what I want to get done to it, definitely a side fringe and thinking layers because I really want some ooomphh but nervous in case I regret them... I'm staying natural brunette though - we have more fun.

 

Any ideas on how to get my hair healthy & looking like the celeb's hair above would be fab!

Blether again soon...

Its a Wee Bit Cold Outside

My hands are turning blue, my lips are cracking and my hair is static…WINTER IS HERE in SCOTLAND!  *when is it not*

 

It is getting a wee bit cold outside and as I am almost always cold, I have been freezing half to death every time I step out the door. I have been looking everywhere for a coat but I can’t find one I like… I want a longish one, long enough to cover my bum but not down to my knees, I want it to nip in at the waist and I want it to be proper coat material, NOT something with the label of being a “coat” for 80 odd pound which in reality is an overpriced cardigan!

<< Something a little like this

 

 

Nahhh, I live in Scotland I need something that’s made of armour or at least cosy.

I tried to sew some extra buttons onto a coat I have had for like 4 years and it looked fine but as soon as I took it off in college a button fell off.

The button went into my purse so I could get my mammy to sew it back on for me but by the end of the day there were more buttons in my purse than coins.

I never found my dream coat but got three cosy enough ones for the price of one…Bargain

Blether again soon,

 

First Time

Well this is it, My first blog post!

 

I hope that my random blethers keep you interested or at least something you’ll read while you’re waiting in the que at Primark (why are they always so long?).

I get up to a few things here and there; some things very boring like glued to the TV, watching my latest box set addiction - currently White Collar, hmmm Matt Bomber Or catching up with college work, whilst considering running away, some days its Italy but most days its Ireland, then I spend my time googling these places.

Most days I also suffer with the constant struggle of finding something to wear, I end up wearing the same top with the same skirt in 15 different ways so it looks like a new outfit...you make do.

But whatever I’m getting up to I will be keeping you in the loop, whether you like it or not (Please like it, I would really like it if you like it).

Anyway, I can’t get onto my Netflix just now so I’m having White Collar withdrawals and I am really missing Neal (Matt Bomber as a con man, yep it’s that good) and I don’t have any plans to go out where I will need an outfit so I’m off to catch up on Corrie

 

P.S - This is Neal...

I’ll be blethering again soon…
