So I've been really bad at posting lately, it's mainly down to big life changes, a bit of a manic end to the summer and just a lack of routine. However I'm now getting my life sorted again, and am going to try and get this thing up and running! We're currently in the period of time when everyone is leaving for university, and although none of my close girl friends are going, Matt left yesterday to go and study at Manchester, and we are dropping Alex of in Epsom tomorrow. So tonight we went out for a 'last meal' with the Greenlands to celebrate [yet another food post from me!].

We went to the Beefeater, and I had paprika chicken with lots of sides, and then apple crumble pie for pudding which was yummy! The service wasn't great and it turned into quite a long meal, but that's okay when you are in good company. 

Another bit of exciting news this week is that I now have a job - woohooooooo! I got called for an interview on Wednesday for the following day, so went along yesterday and ended up getting the job. It's exactly what I had been looking for, and I'm really looking forward to starting later in the month!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

I love the opportunity to look back at old photos, and I often find myself sticking on some tunes and rummaging through the photos on my laptop. I found this picture the other day, and it does not feel long ago at all, it was from Matt's 18th birthday, and I still remember tit like it was yesterday.

Love that flash!

Matt definitely celebrated his birthday in style, nothing crazy and stupid, but a lot of fun! On the Saturday we went to a local common and played widegames with all of his school friends and our church friends, then we came back and had a house party. It was one of the best days I have ever had, and it was fun to meet all of Matt's school friends, because he had pretty much hidden me up until that point. There were so many memorable moments from that night, failing to play fifa, breaking the lounge floor by too many people dancing, bit of limbo and dancing until 5am - it was just so much fun! It was lovely to get to know all of the guys as well. I then went round on his actual birthday and celebrated with the family, which was when this lovely photo was taken. I actually don't think it's a bad photo...shame about our eyes!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Today has been a day full of quite a lot of things. I woke up and ended up having a stressful hour and being a bit behind for church, but got there in the end! We then went straight to the Grandparents for lunch, then round a friend's house with friends for tea and then back round the Greenland's house to watch X Factor. It's been a nice sociable day full of lots of food! I had a friend join me on the sofa earlier whilst we were watching TV...

Unfortunately it's not a very good photo, but Max looked too sweet to not take a photo! This week includes seeing everyone before they leave for university, and everyone going back to school and work. I however still wait on possible job opportunities and decisions to be made!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Tonight was a momentous evening, marking the completion of Matthew's CD wall; totalling 105 CDs, all nicely arranged and displayed on his wall. I don't remember when we started it, but I remember him telling me his idea, and we've updated it multiple times since then.

I think it is very impressive for someone to have that many CDs and I think it looks pretty awesome too! We're now chilling and watching the England game...not my choice!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

I've had my hair chopped again!

I get so easily bored when it comes to my hair, so whenever I go back to our hairdresser I always seem to have a very different style than before. Last September I also decided to get quite a lot cut off, and earlier this year I had a full fringe put in. I just don't seem to have much attachment to my hair, so I enjoy getting it cut off. I know a lot of people grow their hair for years, but mine grows quickly anyway I don't have to bother. I'm most looking forward to having a different style going into a/w!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

I had a snoop round the charity shops after work on Saturday, as I  hadn't done so in a while, and I went into hospice care and picked up a few bits. I saw a top for my mum which I thought she might like, I got a scarf which is your typical square shape with a vintage floral pattern on it and I also picked up a handbag. It's very similar to a previous one I've had, same style and colour leather, just slightly smaller. It wasn't until the next day I had a look at the engraving on the buckle of the strap that I noticed something very random/funny...

It has my name on the bag...how weird! I hadn't even noticed that there was anything on there in the first place, let along my name. I just thought it was really funny, especially as I like the bag so much! I do like a good charity shop find.

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Is it a common thing to have those friends who take photos, and really good ones at that, but they never share them anywhere, so you don't see them till months/years after. I do, and the other night I saw this photo for the first time and thought it was really nice. It was from Bonfire night [hence the fire in the background] last year, and it's the sort of photo that makes me accept that autumn/winter is coming and that it may be an okay thing!

Although summer will always be my favourite month, I do kinda feel excited for the next season, with the fashion and trends that get introduced and the clear, frosty mornings. I'm sure it will fly by and soon we'll be at Christmas...how scary!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x
