£3 T-Shirt!!

Who doesn't love Primark? Where else could you buy a top for 3 mere pounds?This one has a lush open back that I'm

no where near brave enough to wear without a vest top underneath (it's too cold and I still have a thin layer of winter fat!)

It will however be perfect to throw on over a bikini on my summer holiday to Florida!! I literally cannot wait. 

Till next time

Dirty 30!

My birthday party pics.

It happened. I turned 30. 

I tend to think I am quite a positive person, but the mere mention of turning thirty turned me into a weepy emotional mess. It's quite sad and depressing to admit that I looked around me at the other people in my life, and how well they were doing, and felt like I had really let myself down.

I was a high flyer at school, I went to a grammar school, I never got in any trouble, pretty much a straight A student. It was expected that I would go to University, get a first, then on to a £40k a year job......not the case.

I left Brighton Uni after a couple of weeks.

I got a rather rubbishly paid job as a Teaching Assistant while I decided if teaching was the profession for me. 

I fell pregnant and then got married to a complete idiot. 

I was stuck in my low paid job till my daughter was old enough to go to school and I could afford to go to University to train as a teacher.

I split up with my husband and had to sell my lovely house, go into rented and pay the extortionate rental prices.

So there it is.... my feeling sorry for myself story. I was almost ready for a mid life crisis then I was reminded of the good things.

I SPLIT up with my bastard husband...HURRAH.

I have a wonderful, bright, slightly insane 5 year old.

I have met the most wonderful man who looks after me, loves me, supports me and makes me piss my pants with laughter!!

Although I am still getting paid minimum wage in my TA job, I am back at University one day a week, finally on my journey to be a teacher.

To conclude.....I need to stop moping around and feeling sorry for myself. Just because my life isn't where I thought it would be, I am still in a good place and am on the road to perfection!

Hope I didn't bore anyone to death!

Sale shoe heaven!

I do love a bargain and these shoes are no exception. As I've got older, and am rapidly reaching the big 3-0, I've found Marks and Spencer's more and more appealing. Their trousers actually hide my muffin top and their shoes are comfortable and last longer than 3 nights out! So when I spotted these beauties reduced to £17 I thought why not?! Then when I got to the till and they rang the beauties up....£13!!! Result!! I will mainly be clashing them with different prints or wearing them with my LBD!

Rocknrose

So I picked up this beauts RocknRose crown last Autumn and I finally feel like its summery enough to wear it! 

I picked mine up on eBay for a mere £5, much cheaper than the website, but it's still worth a visit. There is some seriously beautiful headgear on there!

I'm really not a dessert person but....

Ok I have something to confess, I'm really not a fan of desserts or anything sweet. I know, don't shoot me, it's embarrassing really. As a woman it should be my divine right to crave cake and chocolate and want to bake away. But the truth is I would much rather have a packet of crisps than any kind of cake. 

The amount of times I've been out to dinner and Aaron orders a sweet dessert and I order a cheese board, then when it comes out they try and hand him the cheese, like it's not even possible that I could pick cheese over cake! GIVE ME MY CHEESE! 

Anyway I digress, so Aaron wanted to make a dessert, we decided on Banoffee pie, a) because we had never made it before b) we saw the Hairy Bikers make one, and c) bananas are good for you! 

It's surprisingly not bad, not something I could eat a mound of but still reasonably yummy!

Beautiful Cornwall

The other half and I went on a lovely 4 day child free break to Stonerush Lakes Lodges in South Cornwall.

 All I can say is WOWZERS! The lodge was HUGE and immaculate. It was so peaceful, I can count the number of people we saw on one hand. 

I want to go back 'sob'. Oh well back to essays and work.....

Wonderful Paris

For the boyfriends birthday we went for a 2 day trip to Paris. We were both Paris virgins and didn't really know what to expect, but were hoping for amazing sights, and gorgeous food.....we weren't disappointed.

We arrived after a short spell on the Eurostar (so quick and easy), both of us slightly anxious as it wasn't till we got past security and passport control that we noticed that my boyfriends passport expired LAST JULY!!! Slight panic, but not a lot we could do as we had arrived!!

We decided it was best to walk around Paris to really get a feel for the wonderful city, and as we were there for such a short time we didn't want to spend the whole time on the Metro.

The walking nearly killed us, but I'm still glad we did it as we really got to explore everything. We defo want to go back and focus on a couple of places, now we know our way around (sort of!).

Au revoir
