Life Update

"Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard. Oh, take me back to the start" Coldplay 

So, where to begin. The last time I posted on here I had just finished university and was a few weeks away from graduating and starting teacher training.
Now, I'm a qualified teacher and working as a supply. Granted its not exactly how I planned it out. When I was training, I had this image in my head of going straight from being a trainee to finding my first job as a newly qualified teacher. Over a year later i'm still looking. It does get disheartening, especially with the amount of job applications I have sent off and the jobs I have really wanted. But through all of it, I know one day, the job that is right for me will turn up and when it does, I will be prepared for it. Especially since now I know all of the hard work that goes into being the best teacher I can be.

The End of An Era....

After 3 years, my time at University is over. The days of starting essays the day before they were due is over (granted I still have essays to do for teacher training but they definately won't be started late!!) And more importantly NO MORE EXAMS!!

When i'm old and grey, i'm sure I will look back on my years at uni and get the warm fuzzy feeling you get sometimes.  I'd be lying if I said it wasn't stressful, and at times it even made me breakdown in tears (That was all to do with the Education Studies side and the Psychology module I took in second year!!)  But I know that when I stand on that stage on the 16th July in silly hat and funny gown, trying not to fall over, that all the struggle, stress, tears and student debt will be worth it and that I will be one step closer to becoming a teacher.

Although, with hind sight there is maybe one thing I would change. Take my dissertation for example.... towards the end (well... middle since I still had 6000 words to write in the month before it was due.) I hated writing it for one simple reason. It was a joint dissertation between History and Education Studies. And I had to make sure it fitted both subjects. And my dissertation would have been alot better if it was just a pure history dissertation. I probably would have enjoyed writing it and researching it a whole lot more if it was something I was 100% passionate and interested in. But don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed writing it and was interested in it but not as much as I though I would when I started writing it.

And I know that the Doctor isn't going to knock on my door and say 'Hey, i've got a TARDIS that is bigger on the inside, do you want to redo your second year of uni', but if I'm totally honest, I wouldn't redo any it because that has made me who I am today. And we all make mistakes but it's if you learn from them that makes the difference and I have certainly learned from my many mistakes!

Plus, why change my time at uni when I have met some amazing people and created friendships which (hopefully) will last for years, and then when we're old and grey we will laugh about the times I left the essays to last minute and still somehow managed to get a 2:2 and get onto teacher training!

I just feel sorry for all my lecturers who had the misfortune to teach me when most of the time I was hyper on coffee which meant they had to deal with silly answers, silly questions and laughing (mainly when I was in lectures with Sarah though.... RAF pilot scenerio springs to mind ah Sarah!!)

I have run out of things to say about uni now so I will leave you with this important piece of information... I'VE PASSED UNI!!!

I can't resist a Disney Quote....

Dear Sarah, The One With the Doctor Who Quotes

In your last blog post you challenged me to list my favourite Doctor Who episodes (Challenge Accepted!!) but there is one slight flaw in that plan....Last year I already did that!! (see that blog post here!) So i've decided to list my favourite Doctor Who quotes. And granted some will overlap with some quotes i've used on the other post but hey, this wasn't thought through very well!!

So in true Doctor Who style... GERONIMO!!!

• Hey, I'm the Doctor! I can save the universe with a kettle and some sting and look at me! I'm wearing a vegetable! (Time Crash)
• Books! The best weapons in the world! (Tooth and Claw)
• Donna: Agatha Christie didn't walk around surrounded by murders, not really. I mean that's like meeting Charles Dickens, and he's surrounded by ghosts, at Christmas. The Doctor: Well.... Donna: Oh come on! It's not like we could drive across country and find Enid Blyton having Tea with Noddy. Could we? Noddy's not real. Is he? Tell me there's no Noddy! The Doctor: There's no Noddy!
• Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink.(Blink)
• We're all stories, in the end.... just make it a good one. (The Big Bang)
• "I'm charging you too! Aiding and abetting!" "Yes, I'll just step inside this police box and arrest myself." (Planet of the Dead)
• We all change, when you think about it. We're all different people all through our lives. And that's okay, that's good, you've got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. (The Time of The Doctor)
• Look at these people. These human beings. Consider their potential. From the day they arrive on the planet, and blinking step into the sun. There is more to see than can ever be seen. More to do than --No, Hold on... Sorry, That's the Lion King. (The Christmas Invasion)
• People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly... timey-wimey...stuff. (Blink)
• Worst. Rescue. Ever! (The End of Time Part 2)

My second favourite quote, from my second favourite ever episode (Robot of Sherwood)

"I have no sword. I don't need a sword. Because I am the Doctor. And this is my spoon! En Garde!!"

And my favourite quote, from my favourite ever episode (Vincent and the Doctor)

"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant."

I have probably forgotten some but hey ho!! And so until next time, 

Allons-y Alonso!!!

And how can you not love that face!!!!

Dear Sarah, The One with Nothing to Do

WE NEED TO MEET UP SOON!!!

Now we don't have uni anymore and I'm not needed at work at the moment... I have nothing to do!! So i've been binge watching Doctor Who and specfically Harry Potter. But in typical Helen-style I watched them in this order: 5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4- and then was seriously tempted to watch 5,6,7,8 again because I stopped at 4 (luckily I told myself NO!!!)

We need to go to Milton Keynes soon and see the Frog Clock and go into Lush. Because no doubt hilarity will ensue (especially if Tom comes along!!) because as you know.. I can say some very silly things and get abit carried away!! But if we do go, we should go on the bus (even though you and Tom both have cars!!) because lets face it... buses are more fun!!!

Is it just me or do the Mcfly/Busted back catalogue sound different after you have seen them live?? (Your more experienced in Mcfly/Busted gigs than me!!) Year 3000 sounds different now I've seen it live. Awesome but different. (Can't wait till the DVD is released! I've just pre-ordered it and we can relive the awesomeness!!)

In other random news... I have a turtle and his name is Squirtle :D

Anyway. I can't think of any other things to write about... other than JUST OVER A MONTH UNTIL WE GRADUATE!!!

So until next time,
Ta Rah!!

Look how young they look!! ---^

Meet Squirtle the Turtle!!

Dear Sarah: The One With The Best Cup of Coffee*

*So Far

So our three years of university are over :( No more Crime lectures with me and Hannah hyper on Coffee (I feel sorry for Drew for having to cope with us....... IT LOOKS LIKE A FLOWER!!!) It's safe to say that I get very carried away when I have coffee. But I think last time we hung out I forgot to tell you about the best cup of coffee I have had (so far... I'm sure somewhere out there there is another cup of coffee which will beat it but I just haven't drank it yet...)

It was after my first exam and I was on my way to meet up with Tom and I went into Greggs because I had the urge to have a coffee to celebrate. I don't what made it the best cup of Coffee maybe it was the sunshine, or that I was listening to Common People by Pulp, or that I hadn't had a takeaway coffee in a while or that I was just in a really good mood. But whatever it was made that cup of coffee AWESOME!!

And if i remember correctly you have your driving test tomorrow so GOOD LUCK!! and if i've got it wrong and its not tomorrow GOOD LUCK anyway!! :P

Anyway that's enough of my rambling for now so till next time....

Ta'Rah!!

P.S. Can't forget the random pictures and videos......

Too true...

Books and Movies I wish I lived.

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie and wished you could live it?? I have, plenty of times. Mainly its romantic scenarios but also some actiony ones. Take the Amazing Spiderman films, I would love to be Gwen Stacey (partly because in the second movie she has some amazing clothes) but also because imagine the views when your swinging from building to  building (holding on tightly to Spiderman.......) So here are a few of the books or films which I wish I could live (but never will)

• Pirates of the Carribean, Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me!
• Avengers Assemble, I so would be Natasha Romanoff and kick some major butt!!
• Bridget Jones Diary, Give me ten years and that would so be my life!!
• The Boat that Rocked, A pirate radio station in the middle of the ocean in the swinging Sixties... YES PLEASE!!
• Peter Pan, I do believe in fairies. I do. I do.
• Harry Potter, I want to go to Hogwarts!!
• Any Agatha Christie book, but I want to be the one that solves the murder, give me 50 years and a change of name form and I will be Jane Marple!!
• The Roman Mysteries Books, I used to love these when I was younger. I just wanted to be in Ancient Rome and solve crimes... and still do if i'm totally honest!

So there you are. A few of the books and films I wish I lived. Even though it will never happen, I have a very mad imagination so i'll see you in the Sixties on a Pirate Radio Boat or in Neverland fighting Captain Hook or even on the Black Pearl with Jack Sparrow!

So till then,

Peace and love dudes, peace and love! :P

Dear Sarah: The One Where its 2015!!

Dear Sarah,

If you haven't noticed.. ITS 2015!!!  and you know what that means.... we're going to have hoverboards!!! and see McBusted but HOVERBOARDS!!

I know we haven't said about doing another Dear Sarah/Helen but since its half term and your in Leicester and i'm at home like I always am I though I would surprise you with a Dear Sarah.... are you surprised??

Me and Tom watched Night at the Museum 3 a few days ago... its really funny... if you haven't seen it already.. you should watch it.

I liked our bomardment of Tom with pictures from How I Met Your Mother, Disney and Sherlock. We should do it again... it was legend... wait for it... dary!!! Thats never going to get old!!

Anyway you know I'm weird and i've had a coffee so that explains the randomness of this post...

So next time we see each other will be when you come back for uni. (but we don't have any lectures together... the terrible twosome have been seperated. We must have been too awesome!!)

SO HURRY UP SO WE CAN HANG OUT AND GO TO TOWN AND PARTYYYYY!!!

Kirk Out!!

Oooh can't forget the random videos...

Spread a little happiness..

'Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light' Albus Dumbledore

Lets face it, the world's a depressing place at the moment but me and my infinite wisdom is on a mission to make the world a more happier place. Take for example, Bus Drivers. They drive the same route,  letting people on and off, and never getting any appreciation from it. Granted some people (Like Me) say thank you as they get off, but must be rather boring. So now instead of just Thank You its Thank You and have a nice day. If just one person says have a nice day out of a whole bus. That must put a smile on their face. Or even Cheers Love (in a Yorkshire accent) I may have said that to a bus driver before and then immediately had a giggling fit.....

Especially since Christmas is soon approaching... who wants to be miserable at christmas?? And as Sarah can prove, with me around there is never a dull moment especially after I have had a coffee or two.

Cheerio ducks!!

And remember.... everyone has bad days, Even John Watson

Pumpkin Lattes and Tomato Juice

Today I tried something different when I walked into a coffee shop, I had a Pumpkin Spiced Latte and its safe to say I will never be drinking it again.. Bleurgh. I am now safely of the opinion vegetables should be eaten and not drunk. I'm all up for trying new things so I thought  give it a try............ It tasted like Carrots and I don't not like carrots it's just I don't want to drink them. 

The first time I remember seeing Vegetable Juices was on a plane to Greece when I was 8. On the way there the cart came round with the drinks and there was a Tesco Value carton of Tomato Juice on it, which as a 8 year old confused me (to be fair, I'm still baffled as to why someone would want to drink tomatoes but there you go) I mean why drink a tomato when you could just buy a pack and eat them? I know you can use the same arguement with fruit but fruit juices taste nice... tomato juice would taste of tomatoes. Carrot Juice mixed with other fruits I can understand but on its own??? 

Its safe to assume that there is a long list of things I don't understand and baffles me and Pumpkin Spiced Lattes and Tomato Juice is just one of many. Its also safe to say that next time I go into a coffee shop I will stick to what I know.. Coffee or a yummy Chai Tea Latte.

Peace Out :)

Dear Sarah, The One Where It Ends

This is probably going to be the last Dear Sarah till next summer since on Monday we go back to uni and resume our normal life of not getting work done, watching movies, baking cakes and laughing our heads off!

This summer has been pretty amazing though hasn't it. We went on our first group (well.... trio) holiday and got to soak up some summer sun and relax by a pool for a week!

We went shopping and brought some lush things in Lush and just generally had a great time. Although the one thing we never did this summer was me and Tom go to Leicester and meet your Fam-a-Lam :D

So since this Dear Sarah/Helen escapade has come to an end for now, there will be plenty more adventures for us to both blog about... the Disney revision sessions, trips to Milton Keynes when we finally go to the bit with the Frog Clock (its a thing... i'm not making it up!!), the Christmas themed birthday parties complete with fake snow and snowmen, the Christmas Jumper shopping trip, and of course the days stuck at uni with me hyper on Coffee!

So for now, toodledo. And enjoy the peace of your house before you come back to the student house... because your not likely to get any peace and quiet there!!

And as per the tradition. Here is some videos you might enjoy :D

My Favourite Fictional Characters

Over the years I have read a lot of books and probably watched even more films and TV Shows. Therefore I have developed a long list of favourite Fictional Characters so I've decided to share some of them with you and why I love them so much.

• Sherlock Holmes, The Benedict Cumberbatch version... because.... *sighs* Benedict........ 
• Hercule Poirot, There is something intriguing about the little egg shaped headed Belgian who solves crimes, has OCD and has a rather magnificent moustache. 
• Miss Marple, She would be that Granny that everyone loves and would also always have Tea and Cake ready. (Can you tell I like Agatha Christie??)
• Bridget Jones, She is just amazing
• Loki, He is just phowar!!!!!!
• Olaf from Frozen, because he doesn't have a skull.... or bones
• The Doctor, He can time travel and has a tardis... what not to love. 
• Barney Stinston, because he's Legend... wait for it and I hope your not lactose intolerant because the second word is dairy!
• Joey Tribbani, He is just awesome!!
• All of the History Boys, just because!
• Cadfael, He's a crime solving medieval monk!!
• Captain Jack Sparrow, He's a Pirate!! and hilariously funny!

There are a lot more which I just can't think of right now, So till next time..... Goodbyeeeeeee

Dear Sarah, The One When The Summer Holiday Is Nearly Over (AKA, The One With The Long Title!)

As the title suggests our summer holiday is nearly over so we won't have to blog to each other  because we'll see each other instead! What are we going to do??

I can't believe you didn't realise why it was called the Elephant Love Medley... Silly Sarah!!! We need to watch that! I like Ewan! and we can sing-a-long to the Elephant Love Medley and annoy Tom!!

I have finished work for this year now, so you can expect me to text you more and reply quicker to texts now.. and more snapchats because undoubtly I will get bored!!

By the way... I LOVED your Disney post, Disney is just awesome! I am slightly disappointed that Tarzan isn't on your list.... tut tut tut Mummy Sarah you've let me down!!! I will have to show you how awesome it is so it is bumped up into your top ten!

We need to think of some really funny ways of annoying Tom when you get back!! We will make this year EPIC!! oooh and guess what... Bad Education is back on tv soon so more CLASS WARS!!!

Anyway I will leave it there for now. Enjoy the rest of your time at home because soon you'll be coming back to the Mad House!!

Ta'Rah!!!

I Can't Wait To Go Back To Uni....

Ok, my secrets out... I want my Summer Holiday to be over with so I can go back to Uni and get in a proper routine again of 6 o'clock starts to catch the bus to get to Uni by 9 for lectures, Spending money on Coffees and dossing around in the Student Union with Sarah while Tom is working and annoying him!

And since its my third year (which is just crazy..) I really need to get a grasp on reality and do work before its due (says the one writing a blog when theoretically she could be doing some of her Dissertation..)  and make sure its all planned and sorted and spend more time doing work at uni rather than watching tv and films at home.

There are also some things I don't want to do this year, such as:

• Not being late to a lecture in the First Week (For the past 2 years I've been late for a Lecture in the first week, in first year I was late for my first ever lecture... whoops!)
• Finish work late at night 
• Start Assignments a few days before they are due.

So this is my aim for this year.... GRADUATE!! 

Dear Sarah, The One Where I'm Listening to Disney.

Dear Sarah,

Only some of my Snapchats are amusing?? I'm disappointed I thought my fake moustache was a masterpiece and who can resist cute Pierre?? (Everyone else who reads this is going to be very confused!) I'll have to up my game then!!

Doctor Who was AMAZING!! I know Peter Capaldi has only done one episode but he is looking pretty good so far so I reckon I'll quite enjoy his time in the Tardis. I liked all the references to other Doctors and Episodes, especially when he recognised his face (linking the fact that he was in the Fires of Pompeii episode) and that poor dinosaur but hey i'll just have to Let It Go... (get it??)

We seriously need to have a Disney day like really soon otherwise I might go mad!! I've made a Spotify Playlist of some Disney songs and its really making me want to watch the movies! (At the Moment its Once upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty and now i'm rereading it its Bella Notte From Lady and The Tramp) Is it me or is the soundtrack to Tarzan awesome?? That film is on Netflix so we can watch that on our disney day, and I can bring my Disney DVDs!! Only 1 Month till we go back to Uni!!!! Eek. 

I'VE GOT A DREAM, I'VE GOT A DREAM!!!

Basically I wanted to say I really want to watch Disney again and Doctor Who was awesome!! So as per I will leave you with some funny videos which I think you'll like... enjoy!!!

Aren't they cute!!

I Need To Read More Books...

I'm a self confessed book worm. I love reading, always have, always will but recently the amount of books I have read has dwindled and not through lack of books (I have plenty that I haven't read yet) but lack of time. After uni breaks up for the summer holidays I always run out of time to read after spending the day at work or just spending time with friends. It doesn't help either that sometimes when I have the time to and want to read a book on my Kindle I go to turn it on to find it has ran out of battery (mainly because I forget to charge it up!!)

However, come the end of September I should have more time to read books. I will make it another of my mid year resolutions (like the one to wear more clothes... Click Me!!) and theoretically it shouldn't be hard to keep since I will travelling to uni on the buses again which will give me more time to read (as long as I don't get travel sick!!)

So hopefully this time next year I will have cleared most of my back log of unread books ready to buy some more!

I have a very varied taste! Can't beat a good ol' Agatha Christie though!

I am also one of those people who likes to read the book before watching the film so hopefully I will have finished reading The Fault In Our Stars before the film comes out of DVD so I can judge whether it will make me cry or not!!

Anyway thats enough from me at the moment!! Will do another post in the week with my reply to the latest Dear Helen Check it out!! and maybe another one with my favourite books what do you reckon??

Ta'Rah!!

Dear Sarah, The One Where My Room Smells Nice :D

Howdy Stranger!! 

I loved meeting up with you on Monday. Because of the Bath Bomb and Bubble Bar which I brought from Lush my room smells really nice especially if i've left my bedroom room door closed and open it when I come home from work with all the cute little babies, its lush!! ;). Still haven't used them though. Will probably use them on Friday as an end of the week treat, Light a candle and have a Buble Bath :D

I decided that since I have done a Places To Want to Go To Before I'm 25 post that you should do it but since your 2 years older than me it can be before your 27. How about that?? 

I also reckon we should go to Milton Keynes just after we are back at Uni. Maybe on a weekday though instead of the Weekend and this time I will remember to charge my Phone up unlike the first time we went. And maybe we should actually look at the shops in the bit where we haven't been yet..... There's a Lush there!!!! YIPPEE!! 

I know your now on your 2nd holiday of the week so you probably won't get to reply for a while so until next time I will continue to Snapchat wierd photos to you and sent random texts and try to annoy Tom for you.

Till next time... enjoy the videos... (this has become like a tradition now hasn't it.. I like it!!)

Love a bit of Michael Buble and Jack Whitehall!

Place to go before I'm 25* (*but will probably never go to)

I knew I wanted to blog today but I had no idea what to blog about so I called on the trusty wisdom of Sarah (click here for her blog!) and she did the wise shout of Places I want to go to before I'm 25. So here it is, Enjoy :)

The Pyramids at Giza, Egypt and the Cairo Museum. Since I was a child I have been fasinated by the Ancient Egyptians and I've always wanted to see the Pyramids and Tutankhamen so when my Grandad went on a cruise to Egypt and got to see both of them I was incredibly jealous (for about 1 minute) 

• Stonehenge. Well the Pandorica is buried there... Doctor Who is real right???
• London, to see Les Mis and Jersey Boys and do the touristy things.
• Venice. There is something Romantic and Magical about going to Venice.
• Paris... at night, same reason as above.
• Poole General Hospital in 1958 so I can meet my Dads parents when they were nurses. 
• Top of the Empire State Building. Bet that is a pretty view. :D
• Mount Everest. Bet that View is nice as well.
• The middle of a field in the 19th Century at night.. What no light pollution.... with a telescope
• Loch Ness
• Stoke Bruerne in the 1960s so I can see my Mum's parents when they were younger (and meet my Grandad) 
• New York (as long as Weeping Angels aren't there...)
• Pompeii and Herculaneum. That as always fancinated me too. 
• Go on Safari in Africa :D 

There are plenty more places that I want to go to but just can't think of at the moment.  And yes I know some are impossible until Time Travel is possible but a girl can dream right??

My Diary: 10 August 2010/2011

I've decided to share with you two entries from my diary from this day 3 and 4 years ago, they aren't really that interesting I just thought I would post them so enjoy!!

Tuesday 10 August 2010 (Some names have been replaced with Blah because I doubt they would want to be mentioned, I wasn't going to post this one but then decided to. This was just after Year 11 so Me and Caitlin ( and Blah) had just left school)

I met Caitlin at Weston Favell today. It was AWESOME!! Although I did spend in excess of £20! But hey.. I did have a Subway Meal Deal and a drink at Costa Coffee. Oh it was retail  therapy time. I brought a jacket/fleece/coat that is awesome and a headband which has a blue flower on it, and some metallic purple nail polish. 

Oh and Caitlin and Blah have fallen out. And I don't blame Caitlin. Blah was horrible towards the end. I mean they ditched me, Caitlin for Blah and Blah without considering us and just ignored us after. So in the end she wasn't a good friend. The earlier you cut back dead  stems the more buds will develop. (there are plenty more corny lines in my diaries unfortunely!)

Wednesday 10 August 2011 (Just to give some back story, Grandad had been in hospital for roughly over a Month after falling over at our house and hadn't yet been diagnosed with Dementia)

Grandad popped over earlier (he was causing a nuisance on the ward) for a while so Dad brought him to ours to unwind and it was like I had my Grandad back again, he was singing and dancing into the hospital and he was joking around and stuff but by 4 o'clock he was causing a nuisance again. Next time the Hospital call home i'll see if I can talk to him over the phone to calm him down and maybe throw in some bribery.

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with Caitlin and stupidly said that I'll pay for her drink I might change our meeting to BB's instead of Costa! :) I'm meeting her after I finish work so :) Work with probably drag.... 

So there you go a glimpse into 15 and 16 Year Old Me's Life, To be fair I'm not that interesting!! So until I can think of a proper blog post to write-- Taddy Bye!! And you never know I might do another post like this again!

P.s. Me and Caitlin ending up rearrangeing our coffee meeting for another day :D

Dear Sarah, The One Where I Am Jealous!

Now I feel left out, You and Tom are both going on 2 Holidays :( Although it does mean that while your both spending money I'll be saving it!! Haha. I'll class mine and Tom's trip to Leciester to see you (when we eventually do it.. Will probs be beginning/ middle of September maybe?)  as my second holiday!

Congrats on the new cousin by the way. Did you manage to finish the Blanket in time? Babies are so cute, apart from when they are grumpy and crying which makes up about 50% of the time that they're not sleeping!! You wouldn't believe that I  exactly like my job would you??

I've discovered I can get 10% discount at Hobbycraft so I might have to make a shopping trip to Sixfields and have a gander :D Might try and make myself a nice Top or something nice like that. Depends how expensive the material will be. Don't want to spend all my months wages in a the space of week when it has to last me a month!

I think I've told you i've rebooked my Theory Test haven't I? I have that in 10 days. Then 10 days after that its my birthday so in 20 days I'll be 20! How cool is that! 

Whats left to say?? Have fun on your holiday and hopefully I'll see you soon!! 

P.S. I found some films we have to see when they come out!! I've linked the trailer below so enjoy!! ( plus the random funny one for my own amusement!) 

The Riot Club:

Paddington:

And DAVID TENNANT!! :

Mid-Year Resolutions

Over the years I have gradually become more and more into buying nice clothes and make up. But the trouble with me is i'm a creature of habit. I'm more than happy to just stay in comfy Jeans and t-shirts and not wear make up. So I'm going to make some changes of my own. I'm going to wear the dresses and the tops which I hardly ever wear more often. Not just over the summer but also over the winter. I have jumpers I hardly wear which would be perfect... Especially my jumper with a Snowman on it (as I said in a seminar when the lecturer pointed it out.. its awesome! Then instantly had a Hagrid moment..)

I'm going to wear the bright red lipstick that takes ages to come off, and the eyeliner that I will end up smudging an hour after putting it on. And because I have put it online for anyone who actually reads my blog to see I have to keep to it.

 So this is is a bit like a middle of year resolution- to wear more clothes.

So till next time....
