SHOPPING

As I said in my previous post, I've been pretty crappy with money recently to say the least. I don't speak to my Dad in any way (for my own personal reasons) so naturally it came as a massive shock to me when he gave my younger brother £300 for me just the other week and £50 the week after. This was because he gave me nothing at Christmas and stopped my pocket money and child maintenance a while back so to be honest, I really should have got more, however, I was grateful for anything. Anyway, so since I got the money, I knew that because I rarely have money, I should try to save up. This did not really go to plan. I spent a good £240 on my early bird Reading Festival ticket, a LOT of money but well, well worth it. I went to Reading and Latitude Festival last year and I literally had the best Summer of my life and with Uni coming up this year and all of my usual lot going in different directions, I can't risk not having another Summer to remember! If anyone is wondering if it's worth the money and thinking about going to one.. GO GO GO! I can't express to you how much I think you should go! I mean, they're not everyone's cup of tea BUT there is something for everyone there and at the end of the day, it's an experience! The rest of the money suddenly went on the above items.

I have a bit of an addiction with buying cheap things from eBay recently, they're yet to arrive so I don't know if they're really crap quality but who cares, most of the items cost no more than £1! That will always be a bargain in my eyes. I've bought myself the above items, a cute little watch which cost £1.66 with free postage and packaging, a cute little gold daisy ring costing just 99p including postage and packaging and it's my best friends birthday coming up so I also bought her some dalmatian style Polaroid paper. My most recent purchase was the leopard top as shown above, with my student discount it only cost me £12.50 so I was properly chuffed. Then the other week I treated myself to those cute boots, which at just £3.50 from a charity shop were almost a steal! I also bought 'Oliver' on video for my little sister because we're old school.

I'm really excited for all my little bits and bobs to arrive, they should keep me happy for a while whilst I'm skint. There's so many other items I want but I really need to stop as it is beyond addicting. For some reason I can say no to items when I see them in a shop but when it comes to something online, I just can't stop myself. Does anyone else have this problem?! surely I'm not alone here.
So my advice to you would be that if you ever need to cheer yourself up, go onto eBay, type anything in, select 'buy it now', choose 'price range: lowest to highest' and thank me later.

    Ebay is such an amazing place! I seriously recommend you check out shoes too, you can buy really good quality, first-hand shoes for phenomenal prices. I have never been to Reading Festival but I would love to go in the future! I absolutely love your blog, I can't believe I have only just found it! Definitely following :)

I want to write about you

I want to write. I want to write about you, about us. My mind is so busy, my heart is so full and yet the words won't come out how I want them to. I want to do our love justice.  Heartbreak. I honestly believe this is the hardest thing I have ever been through and the most significant event in my life so far. And the pain - the pain is so real. I feel this empty void in the space where you used to be. Sounds so dramatic but the complete and utter numbness you've left is unbearable.  When you go through a break up, you think you'll know what to expect. I've been through it all before and I don't doubt i'll go through it again. It gets worse every time. Each time a little more of you gets taken away, each time you become a little more vulnerable and your walls go up a little higher.  When we were together, I used to imagine being without you but you can never emotionally prepare yourself for it until it actually happens, and of course you never imagine ...

The art of carrying on

This blog post isn't about anything in particular as such, but I just had one of those moments of realisation as I was packing all of my room away ready for the Summer that awaits me. I realised that sometimes carrying on is the most important thing to do, simply just carrying on. You may be thinking, "what on earth is she on about" or even "well, of course it's important to carry on!" but I realised that this really can be the answer to anything. This year has tested me more than any other. I've been thrown curve balls that no one should have to deal with. As well as this, there is the stress of work, which ultimately everyone has to deal with at some stage in their lives. This whole Uni experience has been a massive learning curve, naturally. But also aside from academic work also comes my own personal achievements. Although I am not yet the person I want to be, or even the person I was, I am still learning. And I think that alone is amazing. That ever...

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in heartbreak

Hey! So, the other day I read through some of my older posts and realised that a lot of them are about my ex (too many of them)- that was by no means my intention but it just so happens that a lot of what I want to say and a great deal of what I have learnt recently is because of that break up, I thought I should clarify that. I think it's wrong of people to say you shouldn't post about a certain topic.. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't publish? If it helps me then who are you to tell me to stop doing that? And now, amazingly, not only is it helping me but other people too. It's like if I was to post a picture of myself naked (besides the fact I wouldn't do that.. TT's on Tumblr don't count..), say, because I was having a "good body day", should people not see that and think "good on you!" (okay, admittedly at first you'd be like, what.. but you have to commend them on their bravery) because even if it seems effortless for ...
