Hello
Sorry for being such a bad blogger at the moment, just not feeling it! Nothing is wrg or anything like that but my blogging just isn't very interesting! When I go to take pictures of my outfits I realise I just wear the same thing day in day out......rather boring viewing, when that is coupled with the fact that I m trying not to buy things means even more boredom! Gah!!!!
So may have to branch the blog out a bit into cooking which Ihave done, book reviews and more stuff I actually do.....hmm that may mean I have to do stuff instead of being lazy.....may not have thought this one through.........
Thrifty blogging that is where it is going to be at this year!

Wa-hoo weekend!!!
Yey! It's the weekend! Am so glad!
It's been a bit of a crazy week with work, we've had meetings, an open evening and parents evening so I was planning a pretty chilled weekend.
Popped into town to do some mooching about
Grey cardie - peacocks
Black top - primark
Leggings - New look
Scraf - Miss Sefridge
Boots -Uggs
Adding a splash of colour with my red bag from Oasis
Black leather coat - A Wear
So I popped to the library and picked up a Hane Fallon book called 'The Ugly Sister' and A Catherine Alliot books. The I popped to H&M and bought my one item of clothing for the month
Am going to wear this tonight I hope!
Also had a gift voucher from Next so I picked up this

New Years Resolutions
Hello
Hope you are all having a lovely sunny Sunday! Weather look sgorgeous here haven't ventured out yet though think it is going to be a cold one.
One of my (many) new years resolutions this year was to bake something new each month, may not sound like much but I challenge you to find a less domesticated or practical person than myself.............just not one of my strengths.
So here is January's offering of Key Lime Pie
Ta da.....am quite proud!
Have a lovely rest of the weekend

Wishlist so far
Ooooof well so far (apart from swapping the dress for the shoes) I haven't bought any clothes this year (wa-hoo a whole two weeks) but there are starting to be pretty things in the shops and I'm finding it difficult........
love these two dresses from Miss Selfridge
This is actually in the petites range, now I am a small size 12 but I am 5,6 so would need to try. Wouldn't this be pretty with sandals in the summer or with a blazer and heels for a night out.......
Then I LOVE this
Such a ladylike length with the twist of the open front and the back! love it!
Then this skirt in Zara
In real life this is much more pinky than nude.....so pretty!
Whats floating your fashion boat so far this year?

Have I broken the rules?
Hello
Goodness more than a week has passed since I last blogged, time doesn't half go quickly! So I am back in work and very glad to have had the break because this is going to be one busy month work wise......nose to the grindstone!
If you remember just before Christmas I took myself to enjoy the Miss Selfridge sale coming back with two bags (both of which I LOVE) and this sparkly number
Now this may not be too everybodies taste but i adored everything about it and it was half price...result! However after trying it on reality kicked in
Where am I ever going to wear it?
It looked pretty rubbish on
So after work tonight I hotfooted it to the Miss Selfridge (didn't have a receipt so was only allowed an exchange which was fine) and came back with
Ridiculously high but heart them muchly. Have all sorts of ideas for these bad boys.....only thing is have I already broken my new years resolution....one item a month and nothing in January? I don't think I have because it was an exchange (even though these were an extra fiver) but I really want to keep this resolution this year..................
Apart from that I had a lovely weekend which involved going back to Swansea for the weekend, having Nandos with my mate then seeing The Iron Lady with my mum. Absolutely fabulous film I highly recommend!
How are you all getting on with your New Years Resolutions?

'Soap & Glory™ Pulp-Friction™ Foaming Fruity Body Scrub has the new Fruitigo™ Fragrance that features frozen yuzu, orange oil, green fig, and jungle pomelo essence.
. SMOOTH UP A GEAR: Squeeze out a handful of Pulp Friction™, rub it between your palms, then work it around in circles on damp skin. (You can start at your shoulders and work down, or tackle dry shins and feet before scrubbing up.) Rinse when you’re finished'
I say......
Foams up which i am not used too but left my skins feeling silky smooth. I really like body scrubs because my skin is so dry and we live in a hard water area. The smell wasn't personally for me and I found that flake away leaves me feeling more moisturised so I wouldn't personally buy it again but it has had loads of super reviews on the boots website!
Happy scrubbing

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Oh I am so excited about a new year! Hope you all had a lovely evening. I went to a friends; not a crazy one or anything more emphasis was on the food! We had the Jamie Oliver lasagna with butternut squash and the Mary Berry key lime pie.....oh it was so lovely! Could hardly move afterwards!
So its that time of year.......
New years resolutions!
I think I have gone a bit overboard with the old resolutions! I have loads! I thought I would jot them down on here as a bit of a reminder........
Not to be silly! Ok this seems very vague but there are subcategories....like not to be silly with men or financially.
To take more care in my appearance.....I OVE shoppping, really do but I can be so lazy with my appearance, my hair is usually scraped back and I rarely wear make up....think I would like to take a bit more pride.
To cook more. I am so lazy so I would really like to cook one new thing a month.
Lastly.....I want to look at my shopping habit, I did have a crazy idea of not buying any clothes for a year and using the blog to track my progress.....but I really don't think I would manage it and there is no point setting yourself up for a fall so my plan is.......ONLY BUY ONE ITEM OF CLOTHING A MONTH! Eeeeeek its here in black and white ladies! Wish me luck!
Have you got any new years resolutions for 2012???
