Happy Sunday! Who has had fireworks this weekend? I guess I kind of did; my bedroom window provides the perfect view of everyone else’s displays!
Here is what’s rocking (and sinking) in my world right now.
IN
– Teapigs liquorice and peppermint tea. So good.
– Cuddles with Flash
– Xfactor…how good was Matt last night?! Amazing.
– Socks. I’ve started to re-build my sock collection after working out how well they team up with tights to provide the ultimate in comfort.
– Crisp, sunny days. Perfect for walking in the park.
– Jelly beans, chocolate buttons and gingerbread men. Childhood comfort food.
– Marmite. So perfect with oh so many winter comfort foods.
– Masterchef final. Mind blowing.
– Reading. I’ve spent many an hour curled up warm with a book this week.
OUT
– Soaps. They just get more and more overly dramatic and bizarre. I’m looking at you Eastenders.
– Rain. Combined with cold weather. Hair hell and miserable me.
– Lack of tofu…what’s going on shops? This girl has a craving.
– Christmas. Yes, I love it, but I’m getting a little tired of songs and decorations already.
– Shorter days. It’s dark when I wake up and dark again before late afternoon. More sunlight please.
I think that just about covers it! What are you loving and loathing this week?
Also,
it’s been a while since I last did a Q&A
so consider this post your chance to ask me any burning questions. I’ll answer them later in the week.

Sad times re. the tofu shortage! What’s the book(s)? Xxxc
I love chocolate buttons!!
Ooh, speaking of reading, I need a good book recommendation. Got any? 🙂
i am so with you on not liking the shorter days. aargh! this girl needs sunlight like i need oxygen. seriously it takes me months to get used to the time change and even then i don’t think i do. oh and the christmas situation i dread going into stores this time of year. we are barely past halloween. geez!
well it sounds like you are doing good all in all. yay! enjoy your weekend gorgeous!

ooh yes, I’ll second the book recommendations please!
Loved Matt last night too, ahh he is so lovely! x
I wish you a beautiful Sunday!
It’s rainy and cold outside, sitting here with a mug of coffee and reading some magazines; the best you can do on such a day.

Your town already has christmas songs and decorations? Ohhhhh my goodness! I miss Bristol! haha. And the shorter days are depressing, but exciting, too, no? Its a sign of festivity!
So much love x
(oh, and for your Q&A…hmmmm….favourite/least favourite month and why?)

Matt was amazing wasn’t he?! He makes my saturday nights!xx
I loved the Masterchef final, I wanted Claire or David to win, so I was happy. I didn’t watch last night’s X Factor but LOVE Matt. Team Dannii all the waaaaay!

We recorded X Factor last night, I’m dying to watch.
Loving the list. I’m with you on the weather, cold I can tolerate, rain I can’t bear. xxx
Cats are the best, and I’m so miffed I missed masterchef!
Ok.. for the Q&A:
Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate/Other Hot Drink/? Any favourite flavours/types?
🙂
Great post! 🙂 Is great to read your opinions and I couldn’t agree more about Christmas – I love it, but is too soon!!
I hope you have a great Sunday!
LOVE!
…so we’re the same person. hooked on gingerbread, masterchef and marmite! xx
I’m possibly quite obsessed with X Factor now! Just can’t help it, I even ended up watching the Xtra Factor too.
I keep meaning to get stuck into a good book too x
recently been given a few pairs of cute little socks with cupcakes on them. they have all become favorite above everything else in my wardrobe. the swing band I’m in started rehearsing Christmas songs last Friday which means i we will be playing them every Friday now until Christmas – so i definatley feel your pain there !
with love anon.
ps please check out my blog – its new http://notmyface.blogspot.com/
– thanks 🙂
I love that you’re reading Alias Grace! It is one of my favourites by Atwood, and so interesting since it’s based (on what little info there is available) on an actual person and event that would be super scandalous today let alone then – wearing the murdered woman’s clothes to trial??? Yeah. Love that book. Have you read any others by Atwood?
I missed the fireworks display this weekend, gutting. But it’s so cold, staying in was quite nice too!
thanks!!
Totally agree with all of ur Ins & Outs 🙂

yesterday evening as i was out for a walk, i got surprised with a fireworks show! i didn’t realize we’d have one but now i see it was for veterans day.
great picks : ) i have no idea what marmite is so i’ll have to look that up, though lol
i ran out of tea, i hate when I do that. so i picked up some constant comment to tide me over…
i usually don’t watch soaps but my friend has gotten me hooked on a korean drama. then of course there’s glee and gossip girl ^_^
what are you reading right now?
Oh god, I agree with your IN list. XFACTOR, OMG MATT WAS SO AMAZING, I WAS LIKE, CRYING. Oh, and yum yum jelly beans.. Thanks for the sweet comment, as usual, you put a smile on my face! + Just did a new post!

I wonder (& I apologise if this is on the blog somewhere!) what you do for a living, do you work or are you a student?
I NEED to pick up a good book and get stuck in. This time of year was made for reading curled on the sofa under a blanket. x

Hello lovely. 🙂 You have some wonderful “ins.” I have only been eating my Marmite on toast so far. What winter comfort foods do you eat with yours?!
And boo to rain and shorter days!! Ugh. Those are my “outs” too. xoxo
PS. Did you get my package yet? I honestly have no idea how long packages take to get across the pond. Haha. 😉
Yes, imagine velvet tights with socks… delightful!
I’m with you on crisp, sunny days and peppermint tea! Yum.
I’ll ask a question: Do you keep a diary? If yes, what did you write about on page… oh we’ll say 8?

Apart from that i’m in agreement with your lists – matt was fab last night 🙂 x

Matt from x factor – yes yes yes – totally in love with him and he’s by far the best! But also christmas – no no no! I cannot believe how much is already on display everywhere!
Think we’re on the same wavelength there 🙂
