so glad i found the good in goodbye

     i am so sorry ive not bloged in forver. i totally forgot i had one. before i went on holiday i was on it everyday and now i think its been nearly a month since i blogged! aaaaaah malta has made me crazy. i hope your all expecting a hugehuge post, because its coming your way right now.
ill start with malta. its the most beautiful place ive ever been, we flew on a private plane, just before people go on or think im up my own arse, im not. my auntie married a footballer and he happens to play for manchester united. he's the reason for the holiday, it was a testimonial dinner. anyhew so the plane and the flight altogether was amazing! we landed about 4am and about an hour in a coach and watched the sun rise and all the buildings looked like aladdin was about to walk out of them, everything is just made to perfection. the hotel was mind blowing. i know im going on as if ive never been on holiday, ive been to some nice places in my life but this holiday was just amazing! we ended up not going to sleep staying awake the whole day and the beach for a bbq that night, then the next night was the testimonial dinner, where the primeminster of malta was there, it was on a roof of a castle it was just so amazing! then on the last day snoop dog walks into the hotel reception and i nearly died. i can not get over how good it was.

so ive finished college now, not for good ive decided not to go uni this year tbut to go back to college for another year and try out which art pathway i want to do first. my exhbition went really well, i loved it and everyone went to the pub for one last time after it and i got so drunk, if you follow me on twitter the past year you may of heard about the boy i fell in love with from college, i added him on facebook before christmas and he didnt accept, but he didnt decline either. well he ended up coming to the pub and i ended up pissed out my face walking up to him demanding to know why he hadnt accepted me, well guess what were 'facebook friends' now bitches ahhahaa. proper stalk his profile now not gunna lie ahha.
i have a boyfriend too now,.
weeks and weeks ago i was in manchester in urbanoutfitters looking at the books because theyre always so interesting, and i picked up one by keri smith.... wreck this journal its called and its a little journal that has things to do on every page and its to make you abit more reckless and ive got a thing at the moment where i want to look at things totally different and this book might help me do this. anyway its £8.99 and i didnt have enough (im poor okay?) so i look on ebay and i find 3 of her books for £21 so ive ordered them, my mum obviously buying me them hahaa and im waiting fot them to come but im going to show you all like each week what ive done in them. im so excited i feel like its christmas. please look at her books and if anyone has other people like her to reccomend or even art work like that or anything please tell me im in love.

been messing around with candels lately and i have a mug like this, im dying to make my own candel!

boredom blogging, im sorry about this.

shabby chick

i know i know i said i would post straight after my other one but i ended up finding 8 simple rules on my laptop whilst i was looking for the photos and fell in love with cj again ahaha. Well some of you may know, some of you might not that im not happy with my bedroom, well i am abit now but i wasn't. It was full of posters, cinema tickets, train tickets, book pages, magazine cut outs, new paper articals and photos all over the walls which i loved but the day before i went to london my mum pulled it all down and said she was going to do my room whilst i was away, anyhoooo still no change just empty walls and clothes piled on the floor because my mum decided to throw my chest of drawers away. So my nan got involved saying she'd buy me new furniture if i sorted it all out, and she took me on saturday to look at a wardrobe she'd seen and thought i'd liked but no, it was awful but nice of her to look out for me though. It gave me a kick up the bum to start looking so i started on ikea, next and then to my baby...ebay. which i found so many beautiful dressing tables, so it set me off looking to find a cheap one, which i found...

for £80 and i wonnn! then because i had to pick it up i messaged her asking for her address and things and she told me she had two tables for sale so i was like hmm okay send me some photos and i'll see what i think

 

fell in love with these, so i ended up buying these too. my dad and my gran went to pick them up today because my niece was upset and screamed everytime i let go of her! she was also selling a wardrobe but my grandma wasnt impressed with it at all so i left it, everything i kept looking at on ebay was called shabby chic so now im like obsessed with it, ive googled it, tweeted it, facebooked it, tumbl'd it anything you can think of im in love with it ahaha. type it in on google and you'll get the sort of idea style of how i want my bedroom looking. i cant wait, wall paper shopping on saturday.

 

JUST LIKE ONLY JUST bought this chair for my bedroom, aaaaah im in love with it £11 what a bargin! im getting too good at this bidding game. 

as for carrying on with my other post, ive still not told the guy whos texting me i dont like him like that but i cant say no, and no its not because i secretly like him because i dont i just feel bad saying no but hes asking me to come to meet him on thursday and go to his house, ive been to his loads throughout school but only as friends ahaha eeeee its so weird its untrue.

i'll leave you with my dressing table, nice placed in my bedroom. so cant wait, my bedrooms going to be like my summer project!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

everyone seems to blog on sunday

so i thought i'd hop on the band wagon, even though its not 'technically' sunday anymore.
sssssssoooooooo saturday i went shopping with my sister with £20 and i bought my jumper i wanted all through winter (photos coming soon, might even do a haul video) it was like £15 in winter and i refused to buy it, haha isnt it weird how i wouldnt spend it in primark but if it was in topshop i'd scream with delight. yeah so i got my jumper for £5, some green khaki coloured jeans which i thought was £8 and when i got to the till they was only £3 and i cant wait to wear them all summer, i got some aviators which ive been dyinggg to get and i never even thought of looking in primark and i just got a grey and white vest top thing for under my blouses i should buy a bandeu really but i doubt i'd wear it.
i keep trying to look what i can do with my hair, i learnt how to do a fishtail plait which look soooo cute and i think it was on great british hairdresser when he pulled bits out and made it all messy, and i keep trying the bun on top of my head but its a nono i want it to look like thissssssssssssssssssssssssss, i love whitney port's hair here. sadly my hair refuses to look anything like that.

theres a carboot tomorrow which i cant wait for, though when i get excited for a charity shop or carboot i never seem to find anything but if i do i will report back to youuuuu!

Proud to be British

Today has been such an amazing day and im going to remember it forever.
If you live under a rock and dont know, Prince william and Kate Middleton got married today, a huge ceremony, beautiful people, beautiful dresses and suits and amazing atmosphere.
ive been in my mothers bedroom cuddled up with cups of tea and my dog most of the day but i could feel the atmosphere as if i was there. i kept changing between the bbc and itv incase they had different camera angles, im such a geek.
Kate looked amazing! mcqueen dress looked stunning and i loved the grace kelly styled dress its so lovely to add a touch of history to a day like this. not that today isnt going to be one of the biggest days in history.
i just love how everything was worked out in such detail down to the trees in westminster that after the 6th of may will then be planted, all of the street parties that have been arranged (sadly my street is rubbish and no one was up for a party) 

Prince Harry whom i will one day marry looked mighty fine. ive fell in love with him so much more today than everrr! im getting so deep in this blog post, im sorry. if you're one of the people whove been driving me mad on facebook 'cant believe people are sad enough to watch a wedding' 'weve payed for this wedding' 'why watch the royal wedding' yes status's like these do my head in, what on earth has it got to do with them if id like to spend my day watching something amazing happening.

i think im going to stop rambleing.

i loved everything about today and if it was my wedding i wouldnt of done anything differently. everything was perfect and im so happy for the couple, i nearly cried when i heard they'd left a chair at the reception for diana its the sweetest thing ever.

i hope they have an amazing life together, i wish them all the best.

my future king and queen of england
