Clothes and More Clothes

Remember when I went shopping a couple of weeks ago and said I'd take a photo of myself in one of the dresses when I finally wore it - well this week I wore it - and below is a photo - now I hate having my picture taken because I always look so overweight in them (that's because I am overweight) but I set the camera up and took one anyway

See what I mean, anyway the fella came over on Monday so I wore it and he said I looked lovely (personally I think he's biased) and I have to say it was nice to wear a dress for a change as it was a fairly warm day.

Anyway today was payday so myself and my best friend Jayne went shopping - oh dear oh no - more clothes - all of them were in the sales though so at least I didn't spend to much I could have bought more but I still need curtain rails etc for the house and of course I need to pay the bills anyway I can hear you screaming at me 'Show us the clothes biatch' - so here they are.

Top £4 George at Asda

Yellow linen short trousers £5 George at Asda

Skirt £7 Peacocks

Long multi-coloured skirt £9.99 unamed shop in Newport

Can't wait to wear the flowery skirt it's so girly I love it and the long skirt I might wear to the end of work party - unless I find something else first

I love shopping!!!

Holding a good thought for the people of Norway...

Tatton Hall Saturday Night

The Ghost Hunt at Tatton Hall in Cheshire was fabulous - although no spirits were seen we did have a few experiences which were really cool - mainly the human pendulum in the barn and one of my friends grandfathers making contact through the ouija board - giving out information only known to my friend. all in all it was a great night out and I can't wait for the next one we decide to go on - if you are interested we went with Dead Haunted check out there website by clicking the link to see for yourself

My New House - pic heavy post

Well I got the keys for the house today - so when I went to check everything against the letting agents list I took some photos as it is at the moment - empty.

Here's the tour;

Front Hall

Through Lounge View 1

Through Lounge View 2

Kitchen

Stairs

Small Bedroom

Front Bedroom

Back Bedroom

Hallway

Bathroom

Backyard - steps leading to small garden

Garden View 1

Garden View 2

So that's it - very bare - very empty. As I decorated and fill each room I will post new photos and let you know what each room is especially with regards to the three bedrooms.

I really can't wait to get started on the decorating - but that will have to wait until I have steam Cleaned all the carpets.

Keep checking back for an update.

I'm Moving

So Okay, remember last week I went to look at a house - well yesterday I had a early finish and went to my friends house for cheese on toast and while I was there I got a text to say said house was mine - woohoo.

So when I got home off I went to the letting agents with deposit and paid to hold my new home - anyway the upshot is I can have the keys and sign the lease (perhaps that should be the other way round), on Thursday afternoon.

Obvioulsy I am very excitied and I'm sure you have realised by now that in the next few weeks I am going to be boring you with tales of my decorating and moving experiences.This will be fun especially as I will have to do this while working my normal job and training for my new job - at least you will get some respite from me while I am waiting for Sky to move my package over to the new address.

But you don't get off that easy I can of course use my parents internet to keep you updated.

But it's going to be so nice to have a little garden I can sit in when the sun is shinning, though probably not this year, and more space, more space for books and Marilyn and welll books. Ooh and a spare room so I can have friends stay over - because contrary to popular belief I do actually have lots of friends, it's just that they live in ridiculously far away places like America, New Zealand and Brighton. (That;s Brighton in the UK)

So I can't wait, on Thursday , once I have the keys I will take some photos and post them on here and then as I decorate I will take new photos for you to see - like I said you will be bored. Of course there will be other things going on that I will tell you about - like Tatton Hall this weekend, but there will be a lot house stuff.

Anyway that's enough for now as I am about to go for break.

Sunday in the....

.... office giving out phone numbers while playing movie hangman with the other advisors and readig Patricia Cornwall's Scarpetta - gosh isn't my life exciting.

At least when I finish I will be able to go and work on more of my holiday photos as the countdown to Tatton Hall ghost hunt is well and truly on.
The ghost hunt has been organised by Phil Whyman's company Dead Haunted Nights and the brilliant thing is that the man is going to be there himself - so Port Paranormal will be hanging out with the main man himself - it is going to be a great night and I can't wait for next Saturday when myself, Anthea, Danielle, Becky and co will rive to Cheshire to be scared witless.

This is the third hunt that Port Paranormal have been on but it's my first - I will be charging up the camera batteries on friday in readiness and look out for a full rudown on here Sunday afternoon.

Working Working Working

All I seem to be doing this week is working - either at the job or training for the new job which starts in a month or on the photos which I took while on holiday in France - working tomorrow as well - not good.
I really need to get all the photos done by next weekend as I am off to Tatton Hall ghost hunting with the Port Paranormal crew - more on that after the event. So I really need to get a wriggle on.

And if that isn't enough I went to look at a house to rent the other day - so with any luck soon I will be moving - so there will be all that and decorating to add to everything else I have to do.

Well can't hang around here spouting flapdoodle must get on.

If it's not clothes it's books

Had to pop a prescription into the doctors surgery today and when I was there I had a quick look at the charity book sale and bought another four titles - I still haven't read 2 of the last 3 I bought but I know how quickly I can get through them.
But I must stop I am looking to move soon and if I do I will have to pack up my entire library and move it - something I am not looking forward to as that is going to take a long time, I am looking at a property tomorrow and if I get it I will be packing pretty much, well, now really.
This could be a really exciting time, what with starting my new job soon it's all go and I still have all the photos from the holiday to work on. I guess I like taking on a lot in one go - but at least I've got clothes to wear and books to read if nothing else.

Well I think I will carry on reading Patricia Cornwall's Scarpetta - then I can move on to another one - aww I'm just a book worm

My best fried is a bad influence on me

I went into town with my best friend again today - not a good idea as she is always encouraging me to buy clothes - and as I have had a really bad week she said I deserve to treat myself so on top of the the 4 items I bought last week and the 2 flower hair slides I bought yesterday (above) she encouraged me to buy the blue top below.

Price £8 in a unnamed shop in the Kingsway centre, Newport - and the necklace came with it - I love this colour blue and the top is really nice - now the bad news they also have it in black, white, red and purple eek.
I might have to go back for another soon.

And I still have the £20 New Look voucher I was given for my birthday!

I love clothes

Shopping - I finally bought some clothes...

... And not just socks and underwear.
Yesterday my friend and I went over to the retail park because she needed some new tops for work and generally for the summer (lets hope it's not already over) and of course how could I not buy something for myself.
Now I don't have a lot of spare money at the moment (make that none) but when we went into Asda living I was confronted with the sweetest little summer dresses - now generally I don't wear dresses unless it's for a party, but they were so adorable I couldn't resist. So I got the two above - a flowery one and the white one - now I just have to wear them - I will post a pic when I do.




I also bought the red buttonless cardigan above I love these for wearing over t-shirts when it's a bit chilly and I love red - it's my favorite colour and of course how could I resist The Wizard of Oz t-shirt below...

because after all - there's no place like home.

I hope to be going shopping again soon as there are so many pretty styles out there right now - even if like me you're not a size 6.
