Ukulele

Sorry I haven't posted for ages, I've been busy as usual :) I went out for a meal last night for mine and a friend's birthday. I had a really good time actually, got pretty drunk and said lots of stupid things but it was fun :D

My friend Ffi came round for a few hours this evening and gave me my birthday present- a ukulele! It was a complete surprise, I'm not in the least bit musical...well I have my grade 1 violin but I don't think that counts...
Ffi is really into music, she plays about 10 instruments so whenever I go round to her house I always try and play the ukulele (and completely fail) so she bought me this one and stayed for a while to teach me how to play :D Ahh look at it it's so beautiful, and red to match my room!
As you can imagine I'm not that brilliant but I was surprised how easily I picked it up. I can now play 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz, 'Believer' from Shrek and '5 Years Time' by Noah and the Whale, I'm quite proud! I really want to carry on practising so I'm actually good :D
So I just thought I should let you know seeing as I'm majorly excited! I'll update you soon, I'm gong to Belgium on Wednesday so I'll deffo post before then, and lets hope I've learnt some more tunes :)

Thanks for reading,

I Read it in the Paper

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has got you through the most.

Yup, it's Ffi again, she really is the best friend anyone could ask for, she has her faults but don't we all? She's pretty much the only person I could trust with anything, everyone needs someone like that.

I'm so excited!! It's my birthday tomorrow :D Today, to celebrate, 10 of us left school at midday to have a pub lunch. We ended up in Costa with food from Greggs, cos the pub was full, so it wasn't as interesting as we'd expected but we still had a good time :) Tomorrow the Belgium exchange people are arriving- mine's called Catherine, I can't wait to meet her! Oh and of course the new series of Skins is starting on E4! So much excitement I don't think I can cope :D

Hope you're all fine and dandy, I'm pretty happy myself :)

P.S. Title from a band called 'First Aid Kit'-nice, pretty music :)
Oh and also I've just realised how cringy this photo is...ahh well

Remember, remember...

Hey guys, hope you've all enjoyed the weekend and you Brits had a good Bonfire night :) Just a little update of what I've be up to and a few photos...

I was really gutted when we came back from Norfolk- I thought I'd take some pictures of the amazing colours in our garden to show you, so I got my camera only to find half of the leaves had fallen and the other half were brown :( I found this one from a few weeks go though :)

On Saturday the family got together for my Grandad's 80th birthday. It was really nice to see everyone, even though the meal was a bit rushed. This was his cake (He's a rower as you might have guessed!)

We went for a little walk afterwards so I took some more photos :)

My aunt and uncle were supposed to stay over on Saturday but decided not too at the last minute so my parents went to our town's bonfire and fireworks on their own. They got some really good pictures though...
As for me, I watched them from a hill with my best friend Ffi (it's were all the stingy people who don't wanna stand in a crowd go :P) Afterwards we went to Chazzy's house where 8 of us sat around all evening watching 'Clueless' and 'Scary Movie' We had a good time but lost track of time so I didn't get home til 1.30 :/

Hope you like the photos, thanks for reading :)

Bon anniversaire :)

It's my birthday! Ok...technically it's 12.30 so my birthday was yesterday, but let's not be picky. Ahh I've had such a lovely day, starting with my mum coming into my room at 7am saying "It's your birthday!! Happy Birthday!!" bringing with her a cup of tea in the special birthday mug :)

As I have lovely friends and family I got lots of lovely presents which I won't list all of but I will tell you a few as it's all very exciting!

Family-
Phone (Eeek, I love it!)
Easel (I've always wanted one of these)
Make up
Chalks & Charcoals
Mini pegs
Wooden person manikin (you know, like the ikea ones?)
Pjs (a must have)
(+ other little things all together in a big box :D)

Friends-
Paperchase Mug
Horseshoe Necklace
Elephant bracelet
Makeup
Topshop socks
and of course...Chocolate :P

Plus I got some stuff from uncles and aunties and a topshop voucher from my brother- he knows what I like :)

So all in all I was very lucky and got loads of nice things, I also had 2 cakes and some cookies so am now clinically obese! I will probably take some photos of my presents...weird thing to do, i know...that's if I have time- I never got round to that geoggers c/w and am going out for a meal avec les amis tomorrow, so yes.


Thanks for reading, I hope you feel some of my birthday joy!

P.S I Love You

Birthday Wishes

Well my birthday is on the 27th of January so I need to start thinking of some ideas. I really need a new phone so that is the top of my list, I went with my dad today and chose the 'tocco lite'. I have no idea about special features or anything so just don't ask, I just know it looked pretty :)

So that being my main present I need to think of some nice little things. (Usually bought by my mum, these things need a woman's touch!)

1.) Fairy lights- I love them! I have some plastic fish ones that I got when I was younger that are a tad tacky but still find a place in my room :) (Sorry I don't know where this picture's from)


2.) This poster- perfect for my red room, but could also be a good motto to follow.(www.flickr.com)


3.) "Wreck this Journal" Keri Smith- I want this so much. To sum it up it's a journal that tells you exactly what to do, from ripping the pages to covering them in dirt. It's for us perfectionists who need to lighten up! (www.amazon.com)


4.) Mini Pegs- amazingly random, the other day I made a banner thing for my room and used up all my little flower pegs, I really want some more for future creative moments :) (www.fredaldous.co.uk)
Hope you're all well and have had a nice weekend :)
