I'm going to do the Great Scottish Walk. 12 miles. If last year is anything to go by in the rain. For the Children. Anyone wanna sponsor me?

In other news, the party planning goes well. I am in possession of a correctly fitting costume, a large antique wooden chest, 80 mini pizzas, 11 big bags of Walkers sensations, 5 boxes of Cadbury's fingers, 24 ( Read more... )

My fancy dress costume arrived today. The skirt is a little big but it's dooable, and with a crinoline underneath I won't trip up too much. The top on the other hand is hyeeeyyaawwwgggeee, especially given it's the smallest size they listed. So I took it to a dressmaker who will make it me shape, taking about an inch of each seam, completely moving ( Read more... )

My life of poverty goes well. Surprisingly well ( Read more... )

Oh my god I need this.
I really wish I could spend money right now, but even £15 is out of the question with the cost of a birthday party coming up (get that? BIRTHDAY party. hint. hint. hint. hint.....).
Good day today anyway, my massive clothing clearout has already generated £40 from things picked out by Colin's sister in law. I should really be ( Read more... )

This weekend I decided to gather all of the clothing stored in the attic and under the bed and have a big old clear out, with the aim of finding anything worth ebaying and donating the rest to charity, and uncovering any old favourites for the summer to save me spending a fortune before going to Barbados.

Oxfam - quite a few okayish everyday clothes but nothing I felt I was missing out on. Marie Curie - a beautiful yellow vest from River Island called to me, but it had no price so I ( Read more... )

Surprisingly productive feeling Sunday given I've done very little. Nice lie in was followed by 3 hours of sitting in my nightie looking for Pirates things for my party. Ended up finding the perfect dress here, which may be the wrong colour and very expensive but will ensure I am not upstaged by another girl and will undoubtedly be far more worth ( Read more... )

I am getting older, thus I must be appeased to make up for the unpleasantness involved... Actually I'm mostly just bored and thinking of what I would have if I had the money...

My wish lists at List Ideas

After my head bump a couple of weeks ago my eyesight was seeming a little dodgy and I decided to get my eyes tested. Good thing I did, as in the year and a half since my last sight test my prescription has increased by .75 of a diopter in each eye. In the past I had believed that I could see without glasses and could only tell I had problems when I ( Read more... )
