When your knickers are inside out... ♥

Hello! Nice to see you. Are you having a good day? I sure hope you are and that it is better than mine! As you can probably tell from the title it hasn't all started out that great! So about half past 6 in the morning Ed and I were half awake to notice that the weather was all of a flurry of snow! We were in T-Shirt conditions last week, and now it is snow. So, after nodding off for a bit longer, I wasn't looking forward to getting up and venturing out in it anyway. The roads are fine which is good but it just keeps raining now and everywhere is all sludgy. Below was the view from our bedroom window! 

So, after putting my knickers on inside out - which always tells me what kind of day it is going to be - I went to my car to begin my journey to work. Or so I thought. I put the key in the ignition, to hear a sound as what only can be described as an effortless groan, showing that my car really didn't fancy the trip to work today! GREAT. So my car battery is dead. Luckily one of my family friends was dropping something into the other office which is right near me so she kindly gave me a lift to the train station.

Already late, I was greeted by this sign.

I know it is an awful thing to happen, and I feel for the person, but why does it always happen when everything else is going tits up too?! So the train was delayed by 20 minutes and it was freezing and heaving down with sleet! So that was it really, but we are only halfway through the day. I wonder what else the demons have in store for me, because I have to try and get home yet, and call the breakdown company so they can come and jump start my poorly car. I really hope I don't need a new battery because I am fully skint this month. So rant over, just thought I would share that with you, so you can feel your day is much more successful than mine!

Ciao for now! xXx

Poorly and pancakes!

Hi everyone, long time no blog again, I know. I haven't really had anything great to blog about I guess. I am in my new job now, feels all a bit strange but there you go. I have been ill with the flu too, got over that for a couple of days, and now I have the worst cold ever. I don't know what appears to be cracking on with my immune system, it's gone out the window for some reason, and I am generally not someone who ever gets ill. Bad times.

My head feels a bit full of late. I don't know, feeling a bit down and stuff, probably because of all the changes, and illness and things, but just can't seem to bring myself back up. I really miss my friends, and I guess I am feeling a little cut off. I am seeing two of them tonight so I can't wait for that, although I'm sure they can wait, having to spend the evening with a snot-monster. Nice.

I attempted to do a make up tutorial video the other day, with Ed's sister Maria. However, Ed and Maria's boyfriend Jonny were in the room, do you think we could film it? Nope. They were messing about, all the make up wasn't good because I couldn't concentrate, and although the foundation looked really bad on camera, the finish result photos were great, and it looked good in real life. So here is the messed up video, definitely worth a watch if you need a laugh!

Also, yesterday was pancake day! My poppa (or grandad if you prefer) is a mean pancake maker, so we went to Nan and Pops for it. They were really yummy, and took me straight back to when he used to do them for me when I was a little'un. We had lemon and sugar, strawberries and cream, nutella, golden syrup mmmmmm! The best! 

Thats pretty much it. Oo apart from we are going to see Marina and the Diamonds again this weekend! Friday night down to Cambridge, and Saturday carrying on to Brighton. Should be fun with Maria and Jonny. I shall probably blog via my phone while we are away, or do a vlog. 

Thanks for reading if you are still with me.

Ciao for now xXx

Happy valentines day ♥

Hello guys, blimey it has been ages since I have posted. Sorry to those who read, I have just been super busy! One of our friends has just had a baby, so here I am with baby Jak! We are Aunty Tilly and Uncle Ed. Jak is so cute I absolutely adore him! He has the softest skin ever and when Ed held him he opened his little eyes!

Scrunchy up face for Aunty Tilly hehehe :)

Open eyes for Uncle Ed :) xxx

So it's valentines day today! I have been looking forward to it for ages as we are going to a restaurant that we have been to once before that we really liked. It's pretty swanky, and I'm feeling a little like whatever I wear I will be underdressed, but you know what, I just want us to enjoy ourselves so it isn't the biggest deal what I look like I suppose! The restaurant is called Simpsons in Edgbaston, Birmingham. If you want to check out their website click HERE . We are having a ten course taster menu! I am so excited! Posh Nosh! =D

This is what Ed drew in my card <3 aww so cute. We got engaged up the Eiffel tower - if I haven't already mentioned it a million times - so he drew one for me! I got him a card with an Eiffel on the front, but me being an idiot didn't pick an envelope up with it! Nevermind, it's the words that count, can't help being a bit useless!

I have done my nails ready for tonight, here is the finished result!

This is the kit I used to create them. Boot's 200 nails kit and Primark Beauty nail varnish - believe it or not! The Boots nail kit is a definite essential. Rather than paying £25 - £30 a pop to have your nails professionally done with acrylics or gels, for £8.50 these are just as good. They last as long as you are careful with them, and the glue for them is great. I have done two sets out of them so far and both have been a success! I also prefer these because you can change the colours (don't forget to use an acetone free nail varnish remover so the nails don't dissolve!) and they don't damage your real nail underneath. 

I begin by selecting the correct sizes, and  laying them out to make it easier for application. I then file the tips, and all the top surfaces of my own nails, to give a rougher surface so the nail applies with a little more security.  Begin by applying a small amount of nail glue, and spread it around with the tip of the bottle to cover all the surface of the nail. Take the false nail, and starting with the round tipped bottom of it, push onto natural nail, laying flat from the base upwards. To set, hold down the nail very tightly with finger and thumb to compress any air bubbles. Continue for all nails, and let them dry.

Take the nail varnish of your choice. As I said, I have used Primark Beauty's new range of nail paints, which are actually brilliant for £2 for a pack of 4. I think they have 4 sets at the moment, which I have all of them because they are too much of a bargain to miss out on. So, these are the metallic colours. I used the shimmery gold (second from right), and the gold holographic top coat (far left). I used two coats of the gold, although you could probably get away with only one! They dry nice and quickly too, so not much waiting around. The holographic polish spreads the glitter quite well, and I have only used 1 coat, but you can add more if you wish. I haven't put a topcoat over that, because I wanted the textured effect. And there you go! Cheap, but greatly effective nails for valentines!

Thought I would just put on the roses I got sent to work! They are totally gorgeous and covered in glitter! He's an old smoothie hehehe <3

So I hope everyone has a great rest of valentines day, and if it's not your thing, get some choccy down your neck! Have a good'un!

Ciao for now! xXx
