lovely La Senza

There is a horrible rumour going around.......that la senza is.....no more? Apparently it is going into administation! I was really shocked when I read about this, I have never seen a La Senza store empty and I didn't really think there was any main rival to them? I know most stores do pjs and a few undies but not in the same scale.....and they do such special pretty things! I usually have christmas pjs from them and the quality is really good and over the years I have had several bra and knicker sets! Am quite sad!

I had these for Christmas

I did read they are looking for a buyer so I really hope they get one

Miss Selfridge madness

Hello one and all

Hope you are all having a good pre new years eve few days! I have been having my annual MOT....had my nails done, teeth checked (I had a lot of work done on my mouth earlier this year so have lots of check ups now because I am totally paranoid) and had my hair cut and coloured.

I also got a package of things I ordered from the Miss Selfridge sale just before Christmas

Silvery clutch bag, this has a chain so can go across the body as well. I had a navy dress for Christmas and thought this would go with it well.

Across the body black quilted bag, i love this so much, really do prefer being 'hands free' wherever possible

And a dress.........

Now this was probably a silly buy, I cannot imagine where I will wear it or how I am going to style it but....I just fell in love and seeing as it was half price. Now these pics do not do it any justice so I will have to out it on and show you the whole thing but I am still staying with my parents and have no full length mirror so here are some really bad photos

Its a strapless maxi dress, love love love!

Now I am on a strict spending ban until March at least! I am Reading bound tomorrow then off to Kent with a friend for New Years Eve, back to Reading New years day and back to work on the 4th for an inset day and the students come back on Thurs. the weekend I have to come back down to Swansea and then boot camp starts again on Monday 9th....yey I have missed it!!!


No more spending for the G Unit.....have to many things planned and too many clothes I don't wear!


Anybody else on a spending diet?

hats and scarves

Hello

Hope all are well! As anybody who has checked out my blog will know I do love a scarf and I was lucky to recieve these two for Christmas

The Star one of from my mum and is reversible, I think I like the white side even better. I am not sure where the colourful one is from but it was a gift from a friend and I had pink gloves with it too.

My mum also bought my this from Marks and Spencers sale, reduced from £25.00 to £7.00!!!

I never wear hats but I quite like this. Makes me think of a cloche type hat from Downturn Abby!Excuse the rather rough photo.

Ooops!

Hello

Merry Christmas!! Am so happy we have finished for the year! No more school until 4th January! Now much as I love my job (and I really really do) I am so happy to have a break!

I have driven down to South Wales but have forgotten my camera which is a shame so will have to steal my parents to blog. Today is going to be a lazy day, me and my mum are having our nails done later then I am meeting my friend and my godson for dinner, we were going to go to the winter wonderland in Swansea and go on the big wheel but the weather is AWFUL! Not sure that is going to happen then I am meeting up with people from sixth form for a reunion.......haven't seen them in years (some of them it will be 10 years) so am looking forward to having a catch up.

I bought this little number in Miss Selfridge yesterday. I did have the Primark version but after two wears it completely lost its shape and to be honest looked at a bit strange but I loved the style so I thought I would go for it

I am also hoping to pick this up (again from Miss S) because it is half price in the sale and it ticks all my boxes, across the body, quite big and quilted

Hope is everybody is as excited as I am for Christmas!

Much love

Exciting times!

Hello!

I am such a bad blogger at the moment, have no idea why! I mean work is extremely busy at the moment because we have a load of end of term reviews on (fun) but I tend to come home late, go to bootcamo if its Mon or Weds but otherwise just stretch out on front of the box usually complaining I am bored....perfect time to blog! Madness!

Anyway it is such an exciting time of year, I am very smugly all finished with my major Christmas shopping just need to get:-
chocolate oranges for my year team (I cannot buy these too early or I eat them......no self control!)

Chocolate bit and bobs for my family, hazelnut whirls for dad, after eights for mum and ferer roche for nan (I have a very small family) again can't buy them yet cos I will eat them!

And something small but funny for my lovely housemate....havent decided on this yet!

So when Christmas does get here I will be driving this

I have just bought her (not the car but this model/colour) A ford Fiesta 1.25 Style. i cannot tell you how excited I am! About 2 weeks ago my card brakes went funny, i have already spent so much money on the brakes so I went back to a third garage (evryone has told me something different and no-one had foxed the damn thing) anyway this garage quoted me £1100!!!! Its more than the card worth! So I said thanks but no thanks and went to pick it up......and the battery had died! completely, couldn't even be jumped! So after a good cry, a moan at my mum and dad and a search of the inetrnet I thought sod it....and my new baby will be here Tuesday! So excited!

Have a wonderful weekend
