7 Days - Scarves and Blusher

I've decided to do a weekly post for you and for myself really, on everything that I've loved or discovered this week, or anything that has influenced me in any positive way - I spend too much time thinking negative thoughts and I really should look at some of the positives no matter how small.

5 major things this week :)

1. First up this week is Nars Orgasm blusher - I have had this for ages but for some reason I just haven't wore it for quite a while. Well I have rediscovered it big style I have worn it solidly for the past few days and I love it makes me look so glowy and healthy - I am in love with this all over again




2. Second up, my Barbara Hulanicki girl print scarf from her capsule collection for Top Shop - gorgeous soft silk and a gorgeous colour and pattern - I love this and will wear it lots- sorry for the teeny tiny pic




3. The Staff at Spire Hospital Washington for being so great with my mum and treating her like she really matters




4. Linessa Exotic Sorbet Ice Cream Lollies - exactly like Soleros but from Lidl - exotic fruit lolly with a yummy ice cream centre




5. QVC Craft Day - I love my card making and scrapbooking so a day full of lovely things to buy (I am being good don't worry), and loads of hints and tips - soothing relaxing and just what I need

New York Scrapbook Pics

Here a a few pics of my New York Scrapbook Album as promised The Statue of Liberty, Shopping!, the Chrysler Building and Manhattan Skyline!

Diplomas, Holiday Shopping, Diets and Housework!

I have came to the ultimate conclusion that ME sucks!
I have managed to do a little bit of holiday clothes shopping in the last week or so but by god am I paying for it now. We went on thursday morning and now on Saturday I am still completely shattered - I feel like I have been bleedin kicked! I am now trying to do some essential tidying whilst sitting in an office chair!!!!
At least the diet is going well another half a stone and I will be bikini ready! Only problem is my favourite jeans are now to loose - you win some you lose some LOL !
Another positive is that I have passed my psychology diploma - at long last I got my final grade and it was yet another A! I am really chuffed despite my MSc and stuff I was never an A grade student but I have proven to myself that despite my ME I can still achieve something! Wahoo for me! Thanks too to Dawn for the homemade congratulations card !
Talking of homemade I have also just finished my New York holiday scrapbook - I am reallly pleased with it - it is a great reminder of a great holiday experience! I will try and put a few pics on when I get a moment so you can all have a look at my hard work!
Plans for the week to come not a lot - attempting more tidying, maybe making a few cards for my mums birthday, chilling and having a good rest! If I wasn't in pain life wouldn't be bad! LOL!

Not Much Doing!

I haven't posted for a while for the pure and simple reason I haven't done anything worth mentioning. A bit of tidying, a bit of scrapbooking and loads of rest doesn't really constitute anything interesting for you to read about!
I did have a much needed day out with my bestie Dawn the other day we did an ickle bit of shopping and we went to see Hairspray. I quite enjoyed it actually - a real feel good film and fab hair! - I am still not convinced though that John Travolta makes a good woman but I suppose that's the point! LOL!
I have had a bit of a whinge in the last few weeks. The customer service at so many companies is absolutely shocking at the moment - I still haven't got my psychology grade and I am still waiting for a refund from Dorothy Perkins after nearly two months - grrr!
Diet still going OK I have now lost over a stone but I seem to have hit a bit of a plateau so any tips appreciated that don't involve exercise (stupid ME!)
I am also having Internet problems at the moment it is so slow!!!! and it keeps disconnecting - triple grr!
Other than that not bad at the mo - doctors next week which is always something to look forward too!

I don't know where this quote originally came from but I pinched it form a fab scrapbook site found http://www.scrapbookvillage.co.uk
It's a fab quote and just about sums how I feel at the moment - Needless to say I have now been on my diet for nearly a month - It's going well but I am having a really iffy week - womens troubles = need to stuff face! I am making a chinese for tea so that should be good plenty of veg and protein!
I have lost a bit already so I have used as a nice excuse to buy some new clothes!
Popped into Asda and while my mam was in first aid (a long story but she's fine bar a nice blue plaster!) and happened to notice the new Colleen modelled must haves range! I normally repel white jeans but the outfit in the advert looked amazing so I bought it! £16 for a pair of jeans and a tunic - bargain! I can be poor and still buy clothes :)

Boredom Relief ! Ahhh!

When your ill and bored you really need something to do to keep you thinking positive and to keep your brain working.

As well as my Psychology Diploma - I am also doing a bit of crafty stuff at the moment - making greetings cards and scrapbooking my New York holiday pics

Here are a couple of Mothers Day Cards I made - the floral one was from me and the butterfly one was from the cats signed with a paw print stamp :)

Really satisfying and enjoyable!
