weekends and wishes

True to form, I’m feeling much better after a fabulous weekend. Friday night, letting my hair down put me back in a good mood and planted a smile firmly on my face.

Β How amazing is Becca’s hair? A few weeks ago it was long and blonde. Now it’s PURPLE and amazingly short. I’m obsessed! The necklace I’m wearing was a gift from the awesome people over at Jon Richard (more to come on that as they have an exciting new website and gorgeous A/W collection on the way!)

Something else that seriously brightened up the week was the Fairy Hobmother who lives at Appliances Online
She spends her days visiting blogs and granting wishes. I’ve been desperate for a bread maker for ages now, and danced around the office on Thursday when I received an e-mail saying my wish had been granted.

Make sure you leave your hearts desire in the comments here, you never know…you might be the next lucky person to have a fairy wish granted!
I can’t wait to show off my bread making experiments. If you have a killer recipe, do share!

  6. Hope you are having a great weekend, what a lovely surprise from the fairy hobmother.

    If i could have one wish it would be for a fridge/freezer with a water dispenser.

    My fridge freezer is really small and so to fit jugs of water in as well as a weeks shopping there is no chance. Nothing like ice cold water on tap all day xx

  7. Aw glad you’re feeling a bit better after a lovely weekend sweetie πŸ™‚
    And lucky you getting a bread maker! There’s nothing better than fresh bread!
    I’d wish for a Vitamix because whenever I try making protein smoothies, my little mini blender sprays it all over my kitchen!

  11. Glad to hear you had a fab weekend!

    Bread makers are amazing, I am sure you will love yours!

    I would love the Fairy Hobmother to visit me with a Kindle tucked under her fairy wing!

  12. I have a bit of a weird obsession with bread. Any kind, any size! But something tells me you’ll make it better than I could haha.

    I’m off to uni in a few weeks and I’d love some new warm clothes and shoes for the cold weather I’m moving to.

  13. Oh wow lucky you getting a breadmaker, I’ve always wanted to try out one of those although what I REALLY want is an ice cream maker, ice cream is my fave I could seriously LIVE off the stuff! It is my birthday tomorrow though so fingers crossed xoxo

  14. I wish I could be as brave as Becca with my hair – and you for that matter, you colour-lovers you.

    And as for the fairy hobmother, I can’t quite believe such a thing exists…I KNEW it!! Haha, all my baking dreams answered πŸ˜› If she’s listening, a kitchenaid wouldn’t go amiss!

    Outside pics! How nice!

  34. Ahh the Fair Hobmother strikes again! After measuring out all my flour and oats on the weekend for my cookies on a very old pair of scales, I’d love an electric one, so I could actually measure out the right amount for once!

    I’m very jealous of your breadmaker, i’d love one.
    My wish would be for a new Chanel nail polish! x

  36. So glad you had such a good weekend, I did too!
    I really hope the fairy hob mother will visit me, although I can’t decide between a printer for when I start college, an MP3 player or Amazon vouchers so I can get my textbooks for college!

  37. Ah you look lovely in the pink! Fab news on the breadmaker, can’t wait to see what you do with it. I would go for a steamer I think – Dad’s bringing home so much veg from his allotment at the mo! x
