I've deliberated a bit with this post. I've said before on here that I very much enjoy looking back through my blog like a bit of a diary, full of happy times and sad. But for the last three nights, I have dreamed about this, so I obviously need to get it out!

Saturday is my best friends' wedding day. On Saturday morning, I should be waking up super early, kissing Leia goodbye and heading to wherever we're getting ready. I should be popping the cork on the bottle of Bolly I've had waiting for this day. I should be bubbling with excitement as we all get our hair done, admiring my standard 'wedding' nails (classic french with a line of glitter for a bit of glamour), I should be welling up when I see her in her dress for the first time. Walking down the aisle watching her about-to-be-husband's face light up as her sees her in all her glory enter the church.

Square eyes!

I thought I'd do another post on how much I love TV. Because, I really do love a good box set.

As we're fully in to Autumn, it's totally the time to binge and not feel guilty about it!

Autumn love / Autumn loathe

It's no secret that I am a through and through summer person. That feeling of the sun on your skin warming you right the way to your bones, the endless summer dresses and lack of need for a coat or jacket is my kind of heaven.

I usually don't mind Autumn, I quite like it when the nights draw in and it's cute and cosy with candles and the curtains drawn and that nice smell on a morning as the leaves turn and the grass stops growing.

BUT I need help, serious help! I hate knitwear and I am so struggling to know what to wear this season! If you have any go-to places to grab a couple of good quality and stylish jumpers, please holla!

Last weekend I sorted through the endless pit that is my wardrobe and got rid of several bags of things, but I really do have nothing suitable for winter!

Any recommendations of shops that I can visit this weekend?!

A little bit personal...

Sorry for the hiatus! The past few months have been filled with mega highs and mega lows and mega disappointment. But, in between I have enjoyed a fabulous weekend in Berlin with one of my besties,two trips to Disney with another of my besties, made 'friends' on Instagram, which in itself is a weird concept, but I find myself genuinely caring about these people as if I'd physically seen them a week or so ago.

Anyway, after my truly honest post about losing a best friend, which I've got to say, hand on heart, is the worst kind of break up to go through, and following on from that a string of disasterous online dates, disappointment when things don't work out and a truly challenging couple of months where my Grandparents had to go in to emergency care when their house was flooded by a broken toilet.

A little bit of.... Life?

Have I lost the ability to love? Or at least, to connect with someone?

A little bit of *sunshine* in a grey grey winter

Does anyone else feel like this winter has been so long and so so unforgiving? I remember being excited about wrapping up in October, getting the thick coat out of the wardrobe and all the fluffy scarves. I have a real love / hate relationship with the winter months, on one hand, you just need a good coat and scarf to look good shopping, on the other hand, it's so bloody cold, you just need a coat and scarf!

~Furgal Feb~ week two

So week one is over, and I think I've done pretty well!

~Frugal Feb~ week one

For week one of Frugal Feb, I wanted to try to spend less money when I'm at work. I'm a sucker for snacks, and terrible at remembering to take my own lunch in with me, which at £5 a day adds up! 

I have always had a separate account for 'daily spends' which lunch at work would fall in to. I transfer over £50 at the start of each month, which is meant to be for little luxuries at work, or lunch if I forget / haven't had time to make it the night before. I will report on my balance each week!
