20 somethings

Fran - what's the fast forward?! Not that I think I need it yet but it would be nice to have some backup plans in the armoury!

Scarlett - Thanks for the YouTube tips! My crochet stuff is still in storage but I'll have to dig it out and get going. I bought a really cute amigurumi book (you can make adorable little animals) and that's my aim! The hamper sounds great.
 
Ladies - I've just bought myself an early Xmas prezzy...a beautiful mulberry daria clutch bag in black!! I am in love!! Xxx

Oh Laura - a Mulbs!! My friends are obsessed. My friend had a really horrendous few weeks in the run up to her wedding (resigned because she was being bullied by her boss, her dad had a major heart attack and her OH's mum was diagnosed with cancer) so she 'stress-bought' a new Mulberry handbag in Cheshire Oaks! Her card was declined in the next shop and she said she was just trying to hide the Mulberry bag saying 'Oh well I don't understand why that would happen...' :D. (It all turned out alright - her dad made a great recovery despite being given a 6% chance of survival, mother in law is fully recovered and she's got a new job as a super teacher - finding it far less stressful.)

We're going to Wookey Hole next March and there's the official Mulberry outlet nearby - my OH has hinted that he might buy me one if I find something I like! (We're not made of money - he just got his compensation money from the accident and I swear it's burning a hole in his pocket!)

jenna- well done on the job and the sts! didnt i tell you it wouldnt be as bad as you think? :)

mandy- hope your cough is better soon, dose up and keep hydrated! x

Fran- nice to get a lie in, must admit though as its just me and OH for now (no childres to act as alarm clock) cos we both have to get up so early in the week, weekends i do sleep till i wake on my own. Usually its still bloody half 6 though! lol

tata- nothing wrong with a burger for breakfast, mixing it up a bit! haha

jess- dvd sounds good, i learnt using videos on you tube, theres a woman called beth who's a great teacher and does crochet along projects. worth a look for anyone wanting to learn- bethintx is her username. thick texan accent which took me a while to get past but when you do shes fab!

clare- i have zero motivation when it comes to exercise, always feel so much better once ive done it though- you know it makes sense! :)

I'm having a seriously lazy morning! only got out of bed at 10 and still in my pjs under a blanket on the sofa. trying to plan a hamper for my parents for christmas. any ideas of what i can put in?- i have a list but never done a hamper before, do you think this is enough/too much/just right?

bottle of Bacardi, bottle of wine, biscuits for cheese, selection of cheeses, toffee slab with a hammer, homemade smarties cookies, framed pic of the whole family from my bros wedding in september, cute wooden wall plaque saying "nanny & grandads house, where memories are made and grandchildren spoilt" (they became grandparents for the first time this year)

need to find a basket to put it all in, the ones ive found online will pretty much double the cost of the hamper though, will have a scout around charity shops unless anyone knows of a cheap online place that may sell one?

Here's a few pics and what we sold, we did sock cupcakes, sweetie jars, hampers, nappy cakes, u can the see the gift wrap and bows too! X

I swear by New Look shoes, infact I don't think I own heels from anywhere else.

Jessikah, you had me intrigued by your google story so I googled jessica, newcastle and sw and hey presto up you pop...you're a stalkers dream (disclaimer: I was merely being nosy...not stalking)

I've just had lunch and OMG it was amaze <3 Cheese toastie and veg soup and not a syn in sight :D
 
A second vote here for New Look shoes! I use them and Next because I have wide feet and they're the only places that do wide fit! New Look can be a bit hit and miss but my favourite heels are all from there.

I think I have a serious weakness for melted cheese - it just makes everything savoury taste incredible!

Haha they totally do! Type in Jessica Allsop, the pictures are horrendous haha, so cringe! I even had an email from the Sunday sport saying they'd seen me in the daily mail and would like me to do a shoot and article, me being dumb rang them interested and they said 'we'd pay up to 2000.' I was excited, anyway further the conversation went I found out they actually wanted me to pose topless, now I know what the Sunday sport is about haha! X

Lmao, I'm scared mine are going to end up looking like a tennis ball in a sock haha!
Ugh, looks like I'm going to have to go out today, in my tipsy/drunken state last Saturday I lost my house key...need to get a new one cut as everyones back to work and school tomorrow! Boo! Might be able to get a few bits and pieces for Christmas though.

Best go get a shower!
 
Haha! Yeah - I've lost quite a bit off my boobs already. It's a bit annoying as I'd finally accepted I'd put on heaps of weight and bought some lovely new bras - now they're all gappy! I don't mind them being smaller as long as they're pert!

Time for a bath. Only so much Formula 1 I can take!
