Weekly Summary

It's been a busy week and a long one.  I had the beginning of the week off work which I made the most of, I went Christmas shopping, bought all my Christmas presents and a few things for myself, then worked the rest of the week and into the weekend unfortunately.

1. 1st December! Percy Pig advent calender!
2. Lots of hot cups of tea.
3. It's boots kind of weather!
4. Ooops.  Spent more than I should have shopping.

5. YAY December means I officially can wear Christmas socks!
6.  Christmas crumpets.
7. Christmas hat from Primark (sick of the word Christmas yet?).
8. New nail varnishes in a sale.
9. Being a fatty eating a whole pizza.
10. New Christmas jumper from Primark!

11. Cool Batman pjs.
12. More Christmas socks!
13. Love these burgundy coloured trousers.
14. Stocked up for my Saturday night shift.

The week ended in me working a night shift last night which I totally wasn't up to as I have an awful cold and was feeling so rough.  I was only able to eat ice cream and drink tea all day as my throat was so swollen.  If it was a normal day at work I would have called in sick, alas I can't really phone in sick for a night shift as there would be no one else to cover it so I suffered for my job.  This morning I finished work at 9AM and have spent the rest of the day in bed feeling sorry for myself, eating ice cream and drinking tea.  A rubbish end to a good week!

Hope you have all had a nice week!

Fancy Dress

Christmas is the time for parties! This time, a Disney party in particular.  That's right, I am going to a Disney fancy dress party.  I love fancy dress but to be honest I don't know a great deal of Disney films. So I got thinking, googling and asking friends for advice.  After some "you should dress up as this person from Frozen!"  What on earth is Frozen anyway?!  I came up with three options.

Ariel from The Little Mermaid

I am thinking a purple or silver top, not necessarily a bikini top, with a green skirt.  Accessories in the shape of starfish or pearls would be cool.


Jessie from Toy Story

This would be the easiest option.  White shirt with these trousers which I own (sad to see they are now more than half the price I paid for them).  Then a cowboy hat.  Easy!


Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas

This is my favourite one.  I'm not sure if it's too Halloweeny, but it fits the rules!  I'm not 100% sure what I would wear for this but I think it would involve hunting around charity shops, practicing with make-up and... well I know what boots I would wear.  There's plenty of Sally make-up videos on Youtube and pictures on Pinterest to give me inspiration.
Can you see a theme with the hair emerging?

I'm excited.  I love to dress up! What is your favorite fancy dress outfit?

Mmm New Clothes

Does anyone else have the problem of going Christmas shopping and spending way too much money on themselves?!

Well I just had to buy a Christmas jumper from Primark.  Then I got carried away in Primark and bought a Christnas hat and socks.

I decided to look for a dress to wear to my work Christmas party.  Instead, I fell in love with a playsuit in Zara and decided that as there are a few birthdays coming up, me buying the playsuit was completely justified, because it's not like I don't have a million other outfits that I could wear.

I also bought some make-up, as well as the Christmas presents I set out to buy.  I am now scared to check my bank balance.  Ooopsie.

Today's Outfit

I have certainly made the most of my Monday and Tuesday off.  Yesterday I went shopping to Cambridge and today I ended up shopping in Watford, now I have completed all of my Christmas shopping... and may have spent a bit too much money on myself.  Oops.  But that is for another post.

Today I wasn't sure what to wear as the shopping in Watford is both inside and outside.  It was very cold outside, but inside the shops it can get very hot.  I ended up wearing burgundy coloured trousers from H&M with my old, slightly muddy boots.  I wore a black top from Primark with a silver and black kimono from H&M.  Then on top I wore my warm coat from River Island.

If anything, these trousers have taught me that I need to loose weight.  I spent the whole day trying not to breathe too deeply in case the button of my trousers fell off as they were so tight!!

November

I can't believe that it's going to be December tomorrow!  Where on earth has this month gone?!  It's been a fairly boring month for me, but it's been such a busy one.  Here is my November in pictures.

Funfair and fireworks.

Healthy month.

Experimenting with healthy meals.

Christmas candles are out!

Brownie making.

Cake making.

Onesie weather.

I have a feeling that December will be more exciting!

Iron Man

I have been trying to save this month but I decided it was time to treat myself to a new phone case and have found the perfect one!  I purchased my new Iron Man phone case from Blue Banana but you can get it from other places including ebay and Amazon.

Now I don't have to be embarrassed by a filthy, pen-stained phone case and this one is so me!

Happy Friday!

You know when you have had one of those difficult days when nothing seems to have gone right, everyone seems to hate you, you seem to blindly blunder your way through your work, and you've gone and spilt your lunch down you.  I have had one of those days.  I have had a shit day, and I mean quite literally shit.  I work in a hospital... no more needs to be said.  The only way to make one of these days right is to have an evening of endless cups of teas, pizza, a good gossip and your comfiest clothes.  Perfect.

This evening I pulled out my comfiest jumper, and most comfortable trousers making up a completely mismatched outfit - black and gold sparkly jumper bringing some Christmas spirit with purple and white jazzy trousers - while my friends picked up pizza.  Then I walked down the road in my odd outfit, feeling cool about how I looked, to my friend's house where they were waiting with a chicken feast pizza from Dominoes.  Yummy!!

We munched our way through the large pizza chatting about how our days hadn't gone too well, had a bit of a gossip, then headed our separate ways home.  It was early, but I was tired.  Now I finally have that good Friday feeling.  Unfortunately I am working for the next two days but it's still a weekend right? Yay!  Happy weekend!
