Birthday weekend round up.

As many of my friends know, it was my birthday last Friday.



So we decided to head off to carlo's at Colne for a nice family meal. The meal was of course lovely as is ALL Italian food. Especially Carlo's cannelloni. Saturday I got up early and went to put my bet on the grand national our yearly horse race. I chose ornais but it fell and died and kevin, the bloody Jammy git got the 1st, 2nd and 3rd horses and the 4th and 5th at work. Jammy Jammy git! He bought me some charms for my pandora bracelet of which he got me last year.








So on Saturday night we decided not to go out, but get a takeaway, a few cans and watch inception with the lovely Leonardo DiCaprio . Kevin had a pizza and a couple of sheesh kebabs whilst I had a couple of sheesh kebabs too and a chicken balti. Yesterday we had a trip over to matalan where I got a couple of vests for my holidays. Oh and I finally got the most gorgeous bag I'm the world.....

Twelve Things Tuesday

Twelve Things Tuesday

Every Tuesday, I'll be doing a Twelve Things Tuesday. It might be something off the list above, or something random. So here's today's 12 things Tuesday. On my list at number 5 is write a short story. Well I've already got ideas in my head for plots and a sort of storyline. But what I want to know is what sort of story would you guys write? 

Thriller, Crime, Romance, RomCom or something else? What are your ideas for a story that you think would make a good plt for a story? Who are your favourite authors?  

My favourite authors are Harlan Coben, Richard Laymon, Stephen King, Josie Lloyd, Christina Jones.

Birthday Weekend Approaching

It's my birthday this coming Friday. Hopefully I'll get lots of nice new things and some money to pay for my holiday by the end of next week!

A Tweleve Things update

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.

My Love Story

I don't think I've ever shared my story of how Kevin and I first met.


Well here it is. Kevin worked with a friend of mine and I was round at her house one afternoon when Kevin came round to drop off some dvd's for her. I'd met him a few times before but never really fancied him or anything. I'd thought he was ok, not good looking in a Brad Pitt sort of a way but he had something about him.
Anyway a week later, my friend's sister was getting engaged and throwing a party. Kevin came along with his friend and I thought nothing of it until he offered to buy me a drink. I said no because I was driving and didn't want another one, but Kevin persisted and I eventually allowed him to buy me a coke. (yes a coke). Eventually I got ready to go and Kevin asked me if he could have my number, so I gave it to him. He called the next day to see if I wanted to go out for something to eat the following Saturday.

After a few dates, I decided that I wasn't really ready for a relationship, but Kevin seemed so nice and I told him that I wanted to just take things as they come and see how it goes. We finally started seeing each other properly in Septemeber 2006, then when we had been together for only 6 months I had went to Australia to visit my Gran and other relatives. I rang kevin nearly everyday because I missed him so much. It was a test of the relationship. I'll tell you now though, that my being in Australia for a month made us both realise just how much we wanted to be with each other and we've been together ever since. So that's four and a half years almost.

I want to finish off by saying "Happy Valentine's Day Kevin. I love you more and more with every passing day. "

Early Birthday Pressie

I can't believe my Mom has just ordered me some of these for my birthday. Which isn't until April. They are simply gorgeous and I love them!!!!
