Where Have I Been?

Well, it's been 2 and a half weeks since my last post!

Not so much slacking, more I've had problems with my laptop, meaning it was unusable :( and I've also been on many adventures :)

Where have I been? Well...

Over the past few weeks, I:

Went to Manchester to meet my friend from Newcastle, have a catch up and accompany him to the football

Watched Man United v Chelsea

Went to see Bullet For My Valentine live

Walked some hills

Went to Liverpool with the bestest

Had a good old skool night out in Wellington with the bestest, after our day in Liverpool

- People don't understand how cool our Hoisin Duck Wrap Dance is!

Went to Newcastle

Saw Biffy Clyro live in Newcastle

- one of the best gigs I have been to!

Drove to Scotland

- It was cold.

 

Had a great Easter Bank Holiday Weekend:

Thursday Night: A quiet drink/catch-up with 2 old friends, turned fairly merry night in my fave pub!

Friday: Family walk in Carding Mill Valley, followed by a random drive to Llangollen with my cousin and friend (via a snowball fight in Chirk!)

Saturday: Hill walk with my sister, then road trip to Llangollen again but with mum and dad, walked across Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and had a meal at the Telford Inn pub at the other end

Sunday: Took my parents on a day out in North Wales: Duke of Lancaster 'Mostyn Fun Ship', Rhyl (just for a drink/toilet break!), Llandudno

Sunday: Car Wash, Telford Shopping Centre, Domino's

 

 

 

I've also:

Bought a bunch of Disney DVD's :)

 

There are Buy One Get One Free offers in a lot of shops right now, the big supermarkets and also The Disney Store. The Disney Store are cheapest, at £12.99 for 2 DVD's. The offer is on until 14th April 2013, so be quick! There are still many more I want, but I can't afford more, sadly!

Consumed a few Jack's...

Bought 20 new nail polishes, oops.

Finally got to wear my gorgeous taupe Jeffrey Campbell Spiked Lita's, that I got for Christmas :) I got some stares at the pub...

Moved to the new office, on a farm in the Shropshire countryside.

So, yeah...I've been about a little! I love adventures and I really can't stay still for long. I work all week, so when the weekend comes around, I love to make the most of them and go adventuring.

I'm so very excited for the #northmeetup this Sunday. Manchester is 1 hour 40 minutes drive, which isn't too far and is much closer than all other meet ups/events, most being London. The event has been arranged by Em Sheldon of emtalks.co.uk and it sounds like she's done a fab job of it! I really can't wait to meet other bloggers and have fun being girls :)

As for Saturday, I planned to stay at home and sort my junk/room out...but now all I want to do is go to the seaside again! We'll see...

New Year's Eve and New Year's Night OOTN

(Another delayed post!)

So, this time last week New Year's Eve was over and done with and 2012 had begun.

New Year's Eve I went out to my friends flat in town, then to Wetherspoons, before heading to Fever bar for the Midnight countdown.

The place is a dive, my Topshop dress got covered in drink after a big brawl of chav lads got dragged out by the bouncers past us, but I had a great night with some great friends :)

I almost didn't go out, I was suffering with a cold, I forgot to buy tights (but luckily found some!), my bedroom light had gone, then my lipstick broke (which I managed to fix!). I was not feeling going out by this point!

I drove, as I didn't fancy drinking, I didn't want a hangover NYD, wanted to go for a road trip, had no money to drink and pay double for taxi's, plus I can have a good night without drink :)

Enough rambling...

Here's a few pics of me and my outfit!

 Dress: Topshop

Shoes: New Look last Summer (these get compliments every time I wear them!)

Driving pumps: Asda!

Hair: Head Kandy extensions, dyed a year ago when I first went purple!

Curled using my amazing Herstyler Curling Iron (I will do a post about this soon!)

New Year's Night

New Year's Night I went for a drive with my sister and one of the lads. We decided on Blackpool!

2 and a half hours of in the dark driving later, at 8pm, we arrived!

As expected, it was ridiculously windy and freezing.

We went to Coral Island for a play on the machines. I put £1 in the change machine, hoping for 10p's, then to my horror, realised as I dropped my pound coin in, that the machine dispensed 2p's...EPIC FAIL!

After the arcade, we went for a drink at the posh new Wetherspoons, which had a circus/funfair type theme, with a massive Waltzer looking booth, which we sat in :) Big children!

After that, I quite fancied going clubbing, but it was very quiet around and so we ended up just going to get a cheesey chip wrap, then off home.

Rambling on again...

Here's my outfit I wore for the road trip:

Jacket: New Look

Top: MTV vest from River Island (currently on sale!), over H&M tunic vest

Leggings: Primark's finest

Pumps: Asda

Bag: Primark

As always, I have a list of posts that I plan to do and need to make time for doing.

Later tonight, or tomorrow, I plan to open and photograph my Lush sale goodies and do a post, as promised! I'm quite excited actually, I haven't really looked through any of it since I bought it all (I know, that's really bad!).

Hope you have all had a nice weekend :)
