Week (and a bit) in Photos

It's been about a fortnight, I know, I know. But uni's nearly over, just got a few bits to pull through next week and I'm finished until October, and I'm all yours :)

- After I tore apart my old rickety desk, my new one is up but I'm yet to take a photo of it, so bear with me if you're actually interested haha. It feels really nice to sit properly instead of lounging on my bed with my laptop all the time, makes me feel more productive I guess?

- Me in my Catastrophe Cosmetic mask from Lush. It's gorgeous, smells of bluberries and leaves my skin really soft and less red. Only down side is when it's drying, it goes slightly powdery, but I can live with it.

- The newsagents by mine sells huuge bags of my favourite M&M's for £1.50, guess who's getting all my spare pennies from now on?
- What I've been flicking through this week, having finished reading Strangers by Dean Koontz - he's such a talented thriller/sci fi writer, worth checking out!

- Movies I have/am going to watch this week. Already watched 40 Y-O Virgin and The Incredibles, plan to watch the modern Romeo & Juliet and maybe Ed Wood later tonight.

- Heather got a car for her 21st, we named it Tracey Beeper! haha awesome name :')
We drove up to Ormskirk to do some stuff at uni and had a look for stuf for her house party on Saturday. Picked up the shoes below for £19.99 in New Look, they're so comfy on, I love the chunky heel.

- The awesome cupcakes my mum's friend made for Heather, they looked gorgeous and tasted yummy.
And the stand they're on was handcrafted by Hope in my lean-to, with a stereo box, cellotape and silver spray paint. I supervised and made the tea ^_^

A couple of photos from her 21st house party and we then ventured into town for flavoured tequila, ridiculous dancing and sweaty times in The Krazyhouse. Such a fun night, everyone was really drunk, but thankfully no nasty drunks :P


Also I'm currently updating my Ipod for some summer tunes and for when we go to Cornwall in two weeks. Any fun/relaxing songs I should download?

Sorry I've been absent the last week or so, quite abit has happened, I'm gonna post a short rundown and then some photos from my last few nights out :)
Basically, I went out on Saturday for my best friend Danni's 21st, and somehow lost my phone. I don't know how or when, but I got really pissed off at myself cos I never ever lose anything like that, not even my keys! I didn't go home cos we were having loads of fun, but I got it blocked the next morning, and they agreed to put me on a contract and send me a new phone.

We went to The Flute to meet her uni friends, then onto Cafe Tabac which is small but does a mean rum cocktail - it's deadly! Then onto the Krazyhouse where we met up with her twin brother and our other friends, had an awesome time :)

My new phone came pretty quickly - It was sitting on the hall table when I got home from uni yesterday, which really cheered me up! It's the compact version of the Motorola Flipback, which is a tiny touch screen square, with a flipout qwerty keyboard. I'll post a photo soon, it's really cute :)

The following photos are from Danni's 21st :)

I'm currently sat on my bed, doing uni work and shorthand with SATC in the background, trying really hard not to get distracted and just play with my phone :')
I'm hoping to have sorted a load of clothes to put up on my blog sale by Friday, so keep an eye out for that :)

#68 - 21st Birthday!

Apologies for my absence for the past two weeks, I have been spending this week at least relaxing as much as I can with it being "Reading Week" - I have had several assignments to do this week but haven't had the motivation to do anything about it :/
Monday was my twenty-first birthday!
Even though I had already chosen my main present, it was still gorgeous to open on the day, and I love what I got.
We went for a family meal to Red Hot Buffet in Liverpool One - amazing food! We were all so stuffed, and auntie Kathy kept the bubbly flowing, so it was a fun little night :) Photos of that will come later.

This is the majority of my cards and presents... PHOTO OVERLOAD AHEAD! I do apologise, I got rather snap-happy taking photos of my lovely gifts :)

From my parents, I got beautiful purple Vivienne Westwood jewellery. I originally wanted just the bracelet and necklace, but after the assistant in the shop showed us the brooch and ring I couldn't leave without them! Sounds like I'm spoilt, I know, but please know I work for everything I earn, so my mum insisted on spoiling me for my twenty-first ^_^
I couldn't get a decent photo of the necklace, but it's the same as the bracelet in the third photo above.

My pretty cake; the glitter buttefly broke in half on the way home from the restaurant, still yummy!

Lauren from uni bought me this ceramic money pot - when it's full you have to smash it open, but it's far too pretty to break! I may end up keeping it full so I always have a stash of money! She also put a New Look giftcard in my card; she's such a sweetie pie :)

Danni bought me a huge nail varnish/care kit and sparkly bra straps! I'm planning on having fun doing my nails over the weekend.

Chris bought me a Vivienne Westwood voucher - gives me an excuse to go back and drool over the counters again!

Cute little belly bars from the Beauty show last month


My cousins, uncle and auntie got me a beautiful brush set - made from badger hair; softest thing ever! And a bottle of bubbly and chocolates - this weighed a tonne.

Heather knows me all but too well - a Soap & Glory giftset - all the things I was running out of, a bottle of bubbly and she said there's something else but she hasn't finished making it yet - I am very intrigued to see what this will be!


Last but certainly not least, I went shopping before the family meal with Jack - he has already bought me tickets to see Jason Manford in April, but wanted to get me another piece of jewellery since he already made me bracelets and bought me a gorgeous necklace.
He had his eye on a ring, but it was far too big for my tiny child-like fingers, so we both saw this one and loved it. Not the best photo, but it curls round my finger leaving a gap at the front, and the top half is covered in crystals, it's beautiful <3

Ok, so I had a gorgeously lazy but perfect birthday weekend with Jack. We went for a meal for his dad's birthday on Hallowe'en, his nan and grandad insisted on paying, they'r the cutest people ever.
I stayed in Jack's and we watched Frankie Boyle's dvd (which is obscenely hilarious) ate loads of crap and lazed in bed all night - I thought I'd be gutted about not going to town, but it was so much better. I love it when it's just us two, not surrounded by drunken nobs dressed as Spongebob and the Terminator.
he bought me the Frankie Boyle dvd, a huge penguin toy/pillow, it's seriously the softest thing I've ever known it's amazing! and he made me a new bracelet after my original one broke, which I think is gorgeous :) I love his presents, he always puts loads of thought into them (L)
I had Sunday off work but I went to get my birthday phone with my mum, then we went to see the Blackpool lights.

I've had the last week off uni as a "reading week" which has been lovely but this week I felt crap,
I think my mother passed on her gastric flu to me over this past week, I've felt crap.
Lovely things have happened though to balance it out. I went to see Fantastic Mr. Fox with Jack - weirdest movie ever but it's too good to not see. I love the way their legs move when they proper storm over the fields :')

This week in uni has been hilarious, mostly because nob'ed hasn't bothered to turn up, and when she did she couldn't stick to her word, she lied about going to a friend's funeral. She's definitely not worth it (apart from this little part) :)
Everyone's completely come out their shell, sitting in CMIST on our breaks is the funniest thing ever. I'll have to put up the gif's Cole made of him and the guys, they'r so disturbing, but you can't turn away :')

I'm off to watch the 40 Year Old Virgin with a cuppa though, I got it on my break today in CEX for £1.50, the guy ID'd me for Interview with the Vampire, which made me feel pretty good as I've felt incredibly old since turning TWENTY last week.
