Some pictures of my new car

Thought I'd share a few more Photos of my new car, of which I've had now for nearly 3 months. In case you didn't already know, it's a vauxhall (Holden/Opel) Corsa 1.4 Automatic Comfort Sport in lovely Petrol Blue. It was my Grabdad's car before I inherited it. It's been very well cared for and looked after although I think it's still getting used to being used everyday! Hopefully when the weather starts bucking up I will clean him properly inside and out. Now this gives me inspiration for tomorrows blog post!

My Top 20 Apps

What are your Top 20 Most Used Apps?

Many of us today, own an iPhone, whether it be an iPhone 3G, 3Gs, iPhone 4 or 4s.
I was wondering what your Top 20 Apps are and which ones you use on a daily basis. Here's Mine.

1. Facebook - I think almost everyone with access to a computer or a smartphone will have this one on their list. Do you Agree?
2. Twitter - Again I like this, It keeps me up to date with some of the influential people in my life. Not to mention up to date with what my favourite celebrities are doing. Who's the most famous person you have on Twitter?
3. Mail App. Well how else can we keep up to date with emails when we are away from our computer?
4. What's App - This one is perfect for when you have run out of Free Texts and need to text someone. Only problem is that the other person you are sending the text to has to have it as well.
5. KiK Messenger - A bit like What's App but for most Android Phones.
6. Shazam - What's that Song? Shazam it to find out.
7. 2BR - My local radio station.
8. iCafe (EverythingiCafe). If you have an iPhone or iPod, iPad or a mac, this is a great site. Share your knowledge or discuss things.
9. LinkedIn - Great for discovering things about the Industry you work in, discovering new openings and opportunities.
10. Blogger - Isn't it obvious? Blog on the go gets so much easier.
11. Live Score - See how your favourite Soccer team are doing, or Baseball Team. You can view any sport from the NFL to the NBA. The options are endless.
12. BBC News -Current goings on in the World.
13. Sky Go - If I've missed a show I wanted to watch on sky, I can watch it here.
14. Snapseed - A fabulous camera App.
15. Camera Plus Pro - Again a fabulous Camera app.
16. Lottery - Here I can check my lottery number from the previous weeks draws and see if I've won!
17. BiteSMS -This is the only Messaging App I use. I don't like the Stock Messaging App. (This one's only available on Cydia though and your iPhone has to have been Jailbroken.)
18. PaperToss 2 - I love this for when I get the urge to throw a ball of paper at someone who is annoying me. At least I can throw it (well flick it) at that bloke in IT and not get shouted at!
19. Angry Birds - Nearly everyone will have this one. It's addictive.
20. ITV Player - I can catch up on my favourite TV shows that I've missed.

So that's my Top 20 App's. What are your top apps? Do you use any of the ones I've mentioned above?

One for the oldies.

You know you're getting old when the gleam in your eyes, is from the sun hitting your bi-focals.

At This Moment in Time.

Outside my window... I Can't see a thing. The scaffolding blocks everything out.

I am thinking... It's awfully cold in this office.

I am thankful for... Tea and the electric heater.

From the kitchen... I can't hear anything from the kitchen seeing I'm at work.

I am wearing... a vest and tshirt, jumper and jeans with emu boots on my cold feet.

I am creating... a backup of my iPhone.

I am going... to update my tasks list for today seeing my nan doesn't need me to take her shopping this afternoon.

I am reading... Blogs at the moment and my latest download of Digital Camera Magazine.

I am hoping... my dad and Kevin recover from their man-flu soon and that it warms up.

I am hearing... the electric heater and noises from the workshop.

Around the house...there is my mom and dad(who is at home with man-flu.)

One of my favorite things... is relaxing at home tonight with my Gavin and Stacey box set.

I don't understand... this stupid British weather.

I wish... I was seeing Kevin tonight, but he's got man-flu so I'm stopping away.

A few plans for the rest of the week... I'm working until 6pm tomorrow and then probably watch a dvd with mother and chill out after the busy Christmas and New year. Saturday I might go to Kevin's depending on how he is.

New Camera - New Year Resolution

Mum and dad bought me this for Christmas. I've always had an interest in photography. I think I have my cousin Andrew to blame for it. I remember us going down to London a few years ago to visit him. I had just bought myself a new Digital Compact - The Canon Ixus 30. The Canon's first proper outing. We headed off into the city, Andrew promptly set about showing me how to capture some terrific shots. Over the years I have yearned to finally purchase either a bridge camera or a full DSLR and now that the gorgeous Fujifilm Finepix
S3200 has come into my life I do actually plan in getting out there and photographing the world around me. I'd like to try my hand at landscapes and wildlife. Although an upcoming trend at the moment is this so called "Street Photography".

So hopefully the blog will be updated more. Besides blogging every other day is going to be one of my new years resolutions. Take Care Peeps and Gapoy Blogging.

Happy New Year!

Here is my first post of 2012. Had a rather good night last night and didn't have a hangover at all this morning despite mixing my drinks. The disaronno and lemonade that Mr Killian bought us was rather lush and im tempted to have it as my new drink but considered that its quite expensive.

Kevin and I were a bit bored earlier and decided to go for a drive round town in our pyjamas, well I was in my pyjamas and emu boots with my coat on. I must have looked a real sight. Good job we were only in the car and driving round! We must be wrong in the head!

New Motor

Blue Bottle

Moving update

Everything packed now..just a few bits n bobs left. Kevs finishing at dinner tomorrow. Let the moving commence!

Moving update.

It seems Kevin and his mum had been busy whilst I was at my nan's. Three boxes packed from his kitchen.....only the bathroom, living room and the bedroom to do now. But we'll do that tomorrow I think

On the Move

My lovely Kevin gets his keys for his new flat on Monday. He has been wanting to move from his current residence now for a while. It was ok when he first moved in, but now it's just full of druggies and knobheads.

The new pad is a ground floor flat, tastefully decorated with two bedrooms, a fully fitted kitchen with electric cooker, bathroom and living room. It's in a nice area of Burnley, close to the spar shop and his mums. Of course I won't be moving in with his lordship. I can't afford to on my measly wage! I just wish the miserable cow would give me more hours. It seems the fucking asians are getting more shifts than me and it's just not fair!

Roadworks Again

They're at it again, digging the roads up!

Writing Group

I've recently joined a writing group. We meet every Monday night at a Local public house. Most of the members are teachers or ex-teachers. Many of them are a lot older than myself, to be honest, I think I am the youngest member of the group at just 33.

I must say that it's actually quite good fun, listening to the others and hearing their work. One of the group, Michael is a very keen Sci-Fi fan. I admit that I quite liked his little play that he had written about two kids who had never really spoken but went to the same school. Hopefully now that I have joined this group I should be on here a lot more. If you want to learn more about who we are and what we do, then please visit our website. Pennine Ink.

Take More Photos.
Buy a DSLR Camera.
Take a Business Related Course Online.

Friday's Photoshoot

I had a photo shoot last Friday, Kevin had bought it for me for valentine's day and I'd only just gotten round to going. I had hoped to go for my birthday but they were fully booked for that day. When I arrived, I was asked to fill out a form, describing how I wanted to look. I opted for the Cheryl Cole look, as I think she's one of the most beautiful women around at the moment.

Then I was treated to a glass of wine and a mini-manicure. Next came the hair, and the make-up. Then it was off to change and have some photos taken.

Here are a couple of photos from the day.

It was a fabulous day.

Quotes of the day

Twelve Things Tuesday Update

12 Things

Here's this weeks.

1. Lose at least 14lbs before 8 April. Obviously this is being carried over until July 24. I hope to have lost at least 42lbs by July 24, for my holiday. It's going ok. Just not as well as I'd hoped it would though. I've just downloaded an app, on my iPhone called BootCamp.  You can chose the area you wish to work on and exercise for around 20mins. I'm going to give the abs and cardio workouts a go.

Lucky ring

Is it possible for a ring to be considered lucky? I ask this because last night at kevin's I was watching my beloved Manchester united take on Chelsea in the quarter final 2nd leg of the champions league. They were fortunate to have already scored a crucial away goal at Stamford bridge and looked to be cruising after scoring at home. Then Chelsea equalised and dominated most of the 2nd half. Now for the reason behind the lucky ring


This ring once belonged to my beloved grandad Hawil, my mum gave it to me when he died in 1998, it's inscribed with his initials "HS". I consider it lucky because whenever mark (kevin's) brother Is at his flat to watch man u they most usually get beat or draw. Perhaps this ring has lucky powers or something like that........

Both these products are amazing. They're a bit pricey at £62.00 and £37.00 but well worth it. The foundation was a gift from my lovely mom for my birthday. I haven't tried it yet seeing I still have some of my clarins foundation left. As for the lip balm, well lets just say that I'm going to get some before I go away on my holidays in July. it has a lovely eucalyptusy flavour and smell to it. I love it.

twelvethings-i-want-to-do - I want to try and lose weight before my 33rd Birthday a week tomorrow. I can't believe how fast it has come round. Anyway as far as losing weight goes, Wednesday afternoons going for a cappucino and a nosey around the shops,  has turned into something of a weekly ritual (providing I am not working.) for myself and my mom.

So yesterday we headed back to Bury (home of the famous Bury Black Pudding) as momhad some things to take back. So there we were in Primani (aka Primark), I had seen two rather cute tops that I liked and proceeded to try them both on. Now usually I take a size 16 (your size 12, I think.) topwise. But this one was huge. I could get two of me in this. I do like my tops baggy though, not too baggy, but just baggy enough so that it doesn't cling. So the only other option was to go a size smaller to a 14. This one fit perfectly as did another top (also a size 14) that I chose. Hopefully I'll post some pictures of the tops either on or off later.

Unhappy Bunny

I'm Not a very happy bunny today. We went to Boundary Mill (all desginer bags such as Radley, Nica, Ri2K etc and clothes all at upto 50% cheaper) and I saw a gorgeous Gracie Mae hobo style handbag in black with a cute floral scarf attached to it. I can't post a picture because I can't find one and didn't think to take one last night. I am so in love with that bag.
