The Big Relax

This is how my day will look,
or rather…how my day started; such is the way the world works that on a day when I could potentially stay in bed for hours, I woke up at some un-godly hour and have been catching up on some kindle reading for longer than I care to mention!
It did give me a chance to test out it’s snazzy new case though, a gift from the folk at mobile fun who stock a huge array of kindle cases alongside many, many other cases, accessories and more for every kind of modern day essential technology!
If your looking to pimp up your iPad/iPhone/blackberry/kindle/whatever, I highly recommend you check them out.

I shall also be working my way through this bag of mini malteaser bunnies, purely because I woke up with an immense craving for them. This will be counter-acted by kitty proofing the house a bit as today is the day we welcome a new cat to our home! Currently residing with my brother and his girlfriend, Mae is going to be coming home with my parents when they pay a visit to the sibling in Leeds.

Other activities on the agenda today; napping, coffee drinking; Nan visiting; friend seeing; blog reading.

I have five glorious days before I’m back at work and I am determined to make every second count in the least active of ways!

What are your plans for the long weekend? What are your favourite technology accessories? Where’s good to shop for cute pet accessories? Do I ask too many questions?

A Spring Summer injection from Yumi

I’ve mentioned before my love for Yumi

All we need now is the return of the spring weather to make the most of these colour and style injections! I have my eye on the peter pan collar blouse and the colour crazy range!

Yumi fans? What’s your style injection of choice?

a long forgotten treasure (and some new)

A much needed wardrobe tidy-up on Sunday (how many times/how often do I do this?) led to re-discovering this Primark skirt that I purchased…ohh…6 years ago now, before the Primark in Bristol was anywhere near the shopping mecca that is now. But it’s served me well, this seems to date back to when the quality in Primark was pretty impressive…worn with a £5 Primark jumper that has also stood the test of time/the washing machine (albeit it’s only a few months old) and Georgia Rose boots c/o Sarenza.

Also using this post as a chance to reveal two of my Stanwells Rerun prizes…these fab Sam Edelman wedges and “fits all my rubbish in” Longchamp bag.
I also picked up a gorgeous dress that will be shown off as soon as the weather improves.

Seriously..what is with this weather? MADNESS. And madness all around at work yesterday…and I very much suspect the same for today.
Wish me luck!

down time

Since I started doing the phlebotomy I’ve given up my Tuesday day off to run a mini clinic in the mornings (which I am loving!) so this afternoon to indulge in some much needed quiet time whilst Mum was out visiting my Nan in the hospital- she’s defied all the odds and doctor’s expectations!

Wearing skinny jeans from Next and a jumper I picked up ages ago from Motel Rocks vintage on Park Street. I can’t remember how much it was other than under a fiver!

I finally managed to track down MUA BB cream in light in my local Superdrug; since it was released they’ve only had medium and dark in stock, so frustrating!

I also had the excitement of a parcel from Stanwells re-run after winning a giveaway on the gorgeous Emma’s blog … reveal post to come on that!

And what down time would be complete without a spot of baking? Just some bog standard spiced fairy cakes covered in chocolate and sprinkles. I miss having time to experiment in the kitchen!

How do you spend your down time?
