In which I go to dinner 2 (OOTD)

All week for dinner I had been eating toast, crumpets or potato cakes. The fridge is bare… call me old mother Hubbard but when I’m ill the last thing I want to do is trek round the supermarket. I could’ve ordered asda home delivery, but no! 2 asos orders and an elf order instead. (In my defence, some of that…

In which I look at old cars (OOTD)

                          So on Sunday I went for a stroll with the boy. There was a vintage/classic car thing happening along the seafront, where people had driven their amazing old cars from London to Brighton (well, the ones that made it that far!) and we felt like having a look! We went for a roast at a lovely pub in  afterwards,…

In which I get a Feel Unique box & an update

For a couple of months I’ve been seeing posts cropping up all over the place about subscription beauty boxes… glossybox/boudoire privee etc and in all honesty felt that I didn’t want to waste £10+ a month on a load of samples of things that I would probably not ever repurchase. Then when looking on the feel-unique website for a present…

In which I post a week in pictures

Red Lips (I never wear lipstick so I look really different to normal) // Drunken antics // my pudding at a buffet Chinese restaurant Krispy Kreme at work // personalised Bentley ‘a cognac’ parked IN A DISABLED SPACE (this really annoys me!!) // the boy wearing a bug mask. Glad the week at work is over, although today hasn’t been…

In which I go out for dinner (OOTD)

On the first Wednesday of each month, a group of us meet up for a curry in a town that is more or less in the middle of where we all now live. One of the girls that comes is my oldest friend, we’ve known each other since we were six! The rest of the group have been together since…

In which I bake (two!)

So I had a tin of boiled condensed milk left, and wanted to make something tasty with it, and this is how I did it. Melt two bars of dark chocolate, about a third of a block of butter and your tin on condensed milk in it;s sticky form over a low heat till it goes all gooey…    …

Rose and scull scarf: Camden somewhere      On Saturday night it was White Night in Brighton… which is a free festival of events happening all over the city. Above is what I wore to have…

In which I love & loathe October

the weather, it took long enough to decide to be cold // my boss pissed me off // People not paying for things on Ebay till I’ve sent them a million reminders // THEN wanting the item sent to Spain!! // being ill whilst being on holiday from work // having to have an intrusive ultra sound // not having…

In which I go on the Brighton Wheel

During my early shift on Sunday (which should have been my day off) I had to go onto the roof of the building I work in to try and work out the origins of whatever it was that was reverberating all through the building (an extractor fan in the end…) and on the roof, seven stories up, I saw the…

In which I show you my everyday face

I love the “how much is your face worth” posts, but I’ve not seen one from anyone in a while, so here is my normal face, for work or a non dressy night out (pub as opposed to out to dinner or someones birthday I guess…) Benefit  Erase Paste £19.50 Benefit Porefessional primer £23 Mac Paint pot (LE) Vintage Selection £13.50 Lancome…

In which I moan about my boss

I went back to work on Monday after a ten day holiday (which was more like 2 days holiday and 8 days of illness) and I normally love my job, the people that I work with (most of them anyway) but a new Manager is causing me some strife. I’ve not met anybody who is so extraordinarily hard to get along with…

In which I bake!

I Baked some cupcakes to take to work on my first day back, everyone loved them but the day was just horrific! Its a good thing I saved a few at home to scoff when I got in (and I had a glass of wine, which is really rare for me on a work night!) but I felt like I…
