Life lately

 1. I finally saved up to buy these converse but they rub my feet so badly! 2, 3, 4.  I went with my friend Amy to a local cafe that does the best ice cream milkshakes, mint chohy chip anyone?

 5. I took a photo of the vending machine at college so I could compare it to the other one to see which was best, (the secret diary of a choco holic) 6. Pumpkin fell in the neighbours pond and we had to give him a bath. 7. I bought some henna and got carried away and henna'd everyone in my family. 8. I got a free face mask from work so I took the obligatory photo with it on and then realised I look cross eyed after uploading the photo!

9 + 10. I sat for the whole day and knuckled down to finish my photography coursework for the deadline, I had a lot of snacks to keep me going and many episodes of Doctor who thanks to bbc iplayer. 11. I went to Nando's with my friend Robyn after going shopping. 12. My cat looking thrilled to be with me.

I haven't posted a lot in the past few months because I had so much photography coursework to do and photos to edit and print, but I finished it all and handed them in yesterday so hopefully I will be back to blogging more often now!

I also finally found a website to make a photo grid on that doesn't put a watermark over it so prepare to be bombarded with collages. And lastly, does anybody know why my header turns grey when I upload it to blogger? I have checked the background colour and shadows and borders etc and they all white or transparent, and the header is supposed to be white but when I upload it, it turns grey?

When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve

Good evening lovelies, I am currently listening to 'Fairytale of New York' so hence the title! This weekend we pust up the Christmas decorations. This has made me very excited as Christmas is my favourite time of year. I love baking mince pies, and just generally having the house decorated. I also got my advent calendar on the 2nd december, this took a special trip to Cheshire Oaks as all the local shops had sold out, but alas it is now hung up on my wall in all it's glory! 

We decorated the tree on Saturday evening, but this year we can't put any of our pretty glass baubles on it as Daisy ,one of my Cats, likes to eat them! Last year she managed to bite through one so we thought it best not to use them this year. We also had a bit of a disaster with the lights, the lights from last year had stopped working so we got some new ones from B&Q, but they didn't look very nice when we put them on the tree, they were all cold and glary looking (this is why in one photo the light's are white and in another coloured). So then we had to get some coloured ones but this was all they had left that were Cat proof, as they also like to bite through the lights. But at least we have a decorated tree! Oh and it has gaps in the branches because the cats also like to climb it and they have snapped!

I also just wanted to know, do you all like these types of posts where it's photographs mostly of things I have done/ places I have been, or posts more like I used to do about beauty buys and things? Personally I prefer these type of posts as the photography is the part I enjoy most.

Meet Pumpkin

 

Meet Pumpkin! Last week we went to an cat rescue center to donate some things to them, we weren't planning on getting anything untill we saw a gorgeous little white rabbit called Lexy, (who turned out to actually be a boy, despite the name). But more on Lexy, now bnamed charlie in my next post :) We went back the next day to collect Lexy and I asked if I could have a look at the kittens because I just love them! We went in a saw this little chap sat in his cage looking all sad. He has something wrong at the moment which means he has diarrhea :/ so nobody wanted him! We couldn't leave him so home we went with a little bunny and a ginger kitten.

He is settling in really well and the other cats are slowly getting used to him. Originally he was called Nougat, but we changed his name to Pumpkin, it suits him really especially because we got him the day after Halloween! He is such a cutey, he has the cutest ginger splodges on the side of his nose and lip and is just all over cute! I hope you all like him!

 

I thought I would include this photo from the other day when we got stuck in a carpark after the car tire split and my Dad had to change it (cue a lot of swearing form my Dad) It was absolutely freezing so I zipped up my gillet jacket all the way  past my chin and put the furry hood up!
