An exciting new blog

I have been very busy recently, as oddly enough my course involves a lot of work - however, I have still been blogging. Just not here.

I have set up a new blog on WordPress as it is generally more advanced in terms of what you can do with your blog.

So if you are missing my wonderful writing skills, check out my new blog! Set up with a course friend Sarah Hugill, our blog 'The Sarah's Style Blog' covers anything fashion, beauty or style related.

I will still blog occasionally, but for now I am focusing on writing about objects of fascination rather than my life...

And it's raining.

I think I prefer the snow -  at least it's prettier!
Back at uni, after the eventful snow back home - first day back at uni missed. Check. So now I am looking at the most dismal view of Bournemouth Station and overgrown Asda - complete with Maccy D's. Riveting.
Although, I will say watching people attempt to reverse into parking spaces does get amusing, yeah I am really that bored, it was people watching Vs. Shorthand (not even touched + deadline soon. *insert own choice of expletive here*), CV and covering letter writing and placement searching.
Two days of uni and already behind. Seriously, a piece of news my Mumma R will use against me, when the bus finally turned up - yes it was raining and really busy, great start - one of my friends announced that she has already secured her two week work placement for this year along with the news that most major newspapers aren't really thinking about work placements, more how may people they are letting go that week. #MustThinkPositiveThoughts

Love Santa x

So one Sunday morning - I say morning, I mean just after midday - was Christmas decorations time for flat 16 and I'm not going to lie... My inner child probably enjoyed herself too much. As she did the weekend seeing J-Stone's 8ft tree! *enter rather jealous girl here*
But its all good as home is decorated to an acceptable standard. Although leaving Mumma and Dadda R to finish the decorations unsupervised probably wasn't the best of ideas. There is now a Christmas patterned cardboard head of a reindeer with tisle looped around its neck in a scarf like fashion... this is one of the first things you see through the front door.
There are no words.
Now so far I have restrained from wearing my Asda brand Christmas glasses... aka, two glitter Christmas trees with holes in the middle for eyes - who ever said 'style does not extend to supermarkets' was quite clearly wrong - although I'm not sure anyone actually said that?! I feel those glasses only add to the (also glittery) Christmas pudding hair grip... If it has glitter and is remotely Christmasy I will buy It #ultimateconsumer
I am now currently eating my way though mince pies in preparation for our secret Santa gift swap later this evening. Only minutes ago did lelliot arrive back with his present after one reminded him that is was actually in an hour. As of yet the two other boys in my flat are still waiting to purchase their gifts - I dispare!
Lastly I shall come to my apology for not blogging for almost a month, one must meet deadlines too, one must also remember to write down which of the now five Google mail accounts that I have in order to sign in...

P.S. I have also just noticed that on this wonderful Google blogging site, its very own spell check is telling me 'Google' is not a word... oop's!
P.P.S The boys have just attempted wrapping their secret Santa presents... the amount of laughing coming from their rooms genuinely scares me!!

Herb souffle - yes really

Now, I know I have been promising some lovely fashion inspired blogs - however uni has gone into deadline over drive... I can barely bring myself to look at my laptop, even Facebook and Twitter have lost their draw. But today is the last day before my features deadline - way more exciting to write than a law or mjs (media, journalism and society) essay - or in fact a news piece... not entirely sure news journalism is for me - definitely not enough mentions of the word 'louboutin' in a day ;)
However, I was drawn back to my blog from news on the home front, aka, Sevenoaks. My loving sister sent me a text distracting me from my all hard work - yeah right! With a text of a picture containing something which looked like quite a nice pudding... the caption read "my dinner -.- some herb souffle or something -.-"... my reply "Oh wow... mine is whatever isn't out of date or mouldy in the fridge" #unilife #classicsennockinbehaviour
... Can't wait to go home for Christmas after that!! How I miss Sennockin eating! Or just eating non Asda brand products! It is genuinely painful to walk past all those lovely branded products - although I'm better than my flat mate who recently spent £70 on a food shop - he managed to buy one Asda product... wow. Lucky him, had to call mummy and daddy to tell them he needed more money for the rest of the month! But I'm not complaining I got dinner out of it ;) Powers of persuasion people!
Back to my features assignment - which will become one of my fashion related blogs - see just fashionably late...
