Weekend in a post

I've had a long weekend, no work except my domestic goddess duties and its been a bit weird. I've purposely not written any lists to achieve or planned any activities so that anything that happens is spontaneous but it is hard to get out of the thinking that I need to be doing something structured and not leisurely.  With hindsight, I realise that I need to get a life!

So this weekend, I've managed to do all my washing and take advantage of the two days of sunshine we've actually had. So I have a batch of fresh-dryed washing to sort.  What is it about fresh bedsheets that's just so perfect? I found this great site with tips of creating those fresh summery scents all year round, so rather than use up the earth's natural resources to keep things fresh, I can create some natural scents to pep up my laundry.

I also 'camped out' in front of the TV and watched Glastonbury, and was blown away by Beyonce. Despite 'the contraversy' of Beyonce being the headline act at the festival by a number of stalwart critics, she performed a fantastic set to around 170,000 people who looked like they wouldn't be asking for their money back. Although, I have to say that my favourite performance was Biffy Clyro Mountains.

I managed to read half of Her fearful symmetry by Audrey Niffengegger, who also wrote the Time Travelers Wife. I'd definitely recommend it.  I'm not a massive fan of her first book but this book based around Highgate Cemetery is really good. I have two more books to read before I can fill up my kindle with new reads, so any recommendations are gratefully received.

My Sky Plus planner has also been greatly reduced and I've caught up on The Game of Thrones, repeatedly watched the final, ever episode of Brothers and Sisters

I'd also not been out for a few months so when I finally went out on Saturday night with a couple of friends for some early evening drinks, I managed to get easily tipsy. Hence I wrote a drunken post! Not sure how I managed to write something while under the influence and not incur spelling mistakes.

I've also been a bit behind with my blogging so am busy taking some pictures and normal posting will resume shortly.

Please may I? It was a really cheap night, I only speak £20! Thank goodness the bar doesn't do cocktails! x

Beyonce was great! You've done really well getting all that done. I have a stack of washing I should be doing and both my Sky+ machines are almost full. I need to deal with it!

Love the tips for the laundry, I shall make the linen spray.

Hope you're having a good weekend xx

Spotted on the street

Image
Today, I was 'spotted on the street', well I suppose you could say spotted in the mirror! I've been meaning to do a post on the boots I own but just haven't got round to doing one yet.  So today, as I've started walking to work due to my car being very poorly. The need to get my dogs Jasper and Harvey to and from doggy-day care (my mum's but didn't it just for one second sound like I was Paris Hilton!) means I needed some boots that were made for walking. I usually buy a pair of boots every couple of years, I like to try and find a boot with some detailing that could resemble the vintage footwear like buckles or button detailing.  This pair were one of my last boot purchases bought from Barratts, for around £70, in December 2008 for my planned wedding and honeymoon in Vegas and San Francisco.  Funny story though, I thought I would save these boots for the holidays and choose to leave them in the box untouched until March when I'd be jettin...

where do I start?

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks while I've been suffering from a horrible chest infection.  I've just not had the energy to research shoes and window shop the latest that the high street has to offer. So now I'm dosing up on medicine and determined to get myself back on track. To help kick start my research, I've treated myself to some magazines, including the latest InStyle magazine, with the fabulous Dannii Minogue gracing the front cover. She is one of my favourite style crushes, especially after last year's X Factor.  In my humble opinion, she definitely won the X-Factor fashion crown! In the Style Candy section, they've listed a lovely pair of shoes available at asos.com that meet the nude trend while tickling your fancy with a feather embellishment. These would be lovely for a summer wedding or perhaps a day at the races.  Although I would be quite happy wearing them while doing my ironing! I've learnt  ...

Goodbye 2010

Image
As the door to one year closes, another opens Well 2010 is coming to a close.  It's been a mixed bag of a year: a new government in place, Royal Wedding announcements and the plight on miners trapped underground gripped the world.  For me, there were two significant milestones - my first wedding anniversary and the first year since my sister underwent treatment for cancer with an all-clear (we will have five years of these yearly milestones to go through).  In addition, one of my best friends had her first baby and my cousin got engaged on Christmas Day so we have had a couple of great events, which has made a real change from the last couple of years! This has also been my first year as a blogger, so I wanted to say thank your for popping by my blog, leaving comments and all your support.  I've really enjoyed blogging and hope to continue developing my blog in the year to come. I'm not sure what the new year will bring but I can only wish tha...
