imagination required

It’s the weekend! We made it! What are your plans? Once I’ve made this post, I’m off to pay a visit to my grandparents…I love spending time with them and I’m lucky that they have always lived nearby.

I want to say a HUGE thank you to you all for your kind, thoughtful comments and e-mails regarding my visit to the unit.
It went…well? Not sure that’s the right word! Everything feels very real now, and reading all your messages helped a lot.

It’s hard to know when blogging just how much of your personal life to share, and it was certainly never my intention to drag my illness in to it when I first started this site. However, you can’t ever predict something like this, and there is, right now, no hiding from the fact it has taken over damn near every aspect of my days…when it got to the point of people expressing concern, I made the decision to “come clean”
and it’s times like yesterday…and now, when I need all the support I can get and you wonderful people come through with it by the bucket load that I’m confident I made the right choice.

People have asked about writing to me whilst I’m in there. I would love it if you wanted to, honestly, as although I’ll have my laptop for DVDs and music, there is very bad internet connection, if any…and a break from the online world is probably very much needed
(though it’ll pain me to put this blog on hiatus for what could be months).
So, if you’d like to write, then drop me an e-mail and I’ll give you directions!

Enough with the deep stuff now
(sorry if I have bored you to death, I’ll try and keep it to a minimum after this post)
Here’s what I wore yesterday. A very spring-like outfit despite a serious amount of imagination being required to believe it is indeed spring outside.

Have a wonderful weekend my loves,
next week will most likely bring an onslaught of last Saturday’s purchases and a couple of reviews!

new favourite maxi and new things

Hello, Happy Thursday, I hope it has been a great week for you so far! Early-ish update from me today as I’ve just got back from voting and have endless hours ahead of me to fill now.

This isn’t an outfit post, as such, as I’m not wearing this dress today and I didn’t wear it yesterday, either. I just wanted to show it off basically because it is my new favourite maxi dress! Sent to me by the gorgeous Char as part of an epic Birthday parcel.

Stripes + the perfect amount of over-sized slouch…what isn’t to love?! Of course it’ll be better when I can fill it out properly, and when we have more maxi appropriate weather!

I also wanted to share a couple of treats I bought myself (I swear retail therapy should come on the NHS!)

Yet another floral dress, from New Look, £10 in the sale.

OPI Shrek Forever Nail Polish in Rumples Wiggin, I don’t think this is available in the UK yet, I ordered mine from a USA ebay seller.

I still have several new pieces of clothing to share with you from Saturday’s shopping trip but they will be shown when I actually wear them!

Well, I’m off to find something to do with my day. I’m a ball of nervous energy right now as I have a tour of the hospital unit I’ll be admitted to when a bed comes up, tomorrow, and I am scared.
Good luck vibes appreciated…and hopes that I don’t have to wait too much longer.

Much love

Did everyone have a good weekend? We had a long one here with the Bank Holiday yesterday and true to form the weather was dire so nothing much happened! Thank you for the sweet comments on the cake, and for Dad’s birthday wishes; both were very much appreciated by him!

Today I felt a little more motivated towards getting dressed and put on one of Saturday’s purchases. This is the only floral thing I bought, and it was a Primark bargain costing £5.
The shoes were also bought at the same time, costing £8. They make my feet so happy.

Posting and commenting may be a bit sporadic again this week, as Dad is off again (he has so much holiday to use up!) and I have various appointments to be at so not much outfit photo oppurtunity or as much computer time as normal. By next week things should properly settle down again, but I will try and post and visit blogs as much as possible!

Have a fun week, whatever you do! And thanks for sticking with me, I can’t believe I’m at almost 400 followers!

a well earned rest

Hello and welcome to a wet and windy Sunday! What happened to Spring? I am so glad that I’ve no intention of leaving the house today, it actually makes the weather more bearable…a sense of smugness that I can remain warm and dry in slobby clothes!

My busy week has finally ended! It was rounded off perfectly yesterday with an afternoon in Bristol spending Birthday money…I got a pretty good haul of clothes *and* have money left, which is you know..always good when your broke and in need of retail pick me ups from time to time!

Today is my Dad’s Birthday (Happy Birthday Dad, I love you!) and of course Birthdays call for cake,
so I made him one as part of his present from me. He’s a real chocoholic so I did a chocolate tray cake with chocolate buttercream and chocolate decorations. It’s a hit.

And here’s my outfit from Friday. I’m not feeling very inspired clothes wise at the moment so outfit posts will probably take a back seat for a little while, depending on my day to day mood!

Well, off to start my day of rest. I have a few little fun jobs to get done which includes catching up with everyone’s blogs (perhaps not such a little job!)

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend, have you done anything exciting? Any fabulous shopping bargains?
