Boy was it cold!!

Yet again, Izzy, Rosie and I thought it would be a wonderful idea to do another car-boot sale in order for us to earn some well need cash!!  As I woke up at at an extremely early 6.30 on Saturday morning, reality kicked in as I soon found myself dozing off whilst cooking my porridge (with extra raisins and seeds of course).  However as I finished making it, Izzy had already arrived to pick me and my junk load of old toys, clothes and books up, so I put the porridge in a flask and we set off sitting literally on top of the stuff in Izzy's car.  Rosie had already arrived and I don't think any of us had expected how windy and cold this car-boot sale was really going to be!  I have to say it was rather fun setting our pitch up next to all the other sellers and a man was already looking through Rosie's collection of old jeans to pick up a bargain without us even setting up the stall yet...
Anyway, as the time rolled on by, service started to get slow, but morale was kept high with Izzy's flask of tea and vanilla Oreo's, and we're never short of a good old laugh whilst warming ourselves up in Rosie's car whilst the wind blew outside.
Soon it was time to pack up and it was about time as I think our frozen toes were literally about to fall off.  We counted our profits and Rosie got £25, Izzy £35, and I £30.  Well, I think Izzy came out as our top seller in this car-boot sale, but I'm sure there will be plenty more to come in the summer - hopefully when it's 20 degrees warmer...
All with new boots, funny that??

I would put some more photo's on here but the laptop's being rather slow at the moment....
Hope you didn't fall asleep in school like I did today!!
Lots of love

My little rant, if you will..

So I'm pretty sure that many people feel the same...but I am so fed up of cold wintry weather.
I WANT SUMMER! 

I always look forward to winter at the end of summer- the warm fires, hot chocolate, spicy smell of cinnamon and Christmas! But now that it's March I'm so sick of it. I can't wait to squeeze into my summer shorts, and swap my heavy makeup for my tinted moisturiser. Looking through photos from my holiday to the Maldives in October (over my birthday!) makes me want to cry! I want to go back!

No, this is not off the internet! ;)
'Pool chilling'.
Me and my new friend, Coco.
To make sure I avoid 'the great winter depression' (actually I think I have already got it), I've swapped my shorts for trousers already..but putting woolly tights underneath! ...Plus, the odd capri sun instead of a tea never fails to give me back my summer spring!

Have a lovely week, Rosie XXX

Back on the rock and back to the blog at last.

Well bloggers I'm backkkkkk!
And haven't i missed the old blog ? But no fear I'm well rested after a holiday in sunny South Africa and ready to blog again.
I'm currently sitting in bed with a bottomless cup of chai tea and a nice big plate of beans on toast (because there's nothing like a bit of Heinz to cure the jet lag blues ). Its finally March and although I'm all for showing off what semi tannish like thing i spent the last 13 days gaining its still a little chilly (ok try FREEZING ) so that's why I'm here to tell you what I'll be embracing when the daffodills start to peek through the frost and spring finally arrives...

-Vintage -this spring I'm determined to breath some vintage love into my wardrobe and whilst scouring the world wode web i came across these babies :

Tea with two sugars...

Well then...It's back to school for everyone, 'oh the excitement' and the teachers do really pile it on!!!  I have had so much homework already, and the pressure of two GCSE's caught up with me yesterday, sorry!!!  
Anyway, as I arrived into school on monday with my 'homemade' school bag, I though to myself how I could still be in bed, sleeping silently, not disturbed.  It's funny to see how all the year 7's were so excited and us year 10's really weren't...
 as I woke up this morning and found out that my life was over whilst cooking way too much porridge, I realised that the dreaded spot on my face had come back to haunt me. Yes that's right, the start of term spot had come for a visit and decided to stay. so, I scrubbed my face and tried to cover it up only making it worse...at least I could hide it under my exam papers.
During the exam, I though to myself, wouldn't it be lovely if I could go home right now and snuggle up in bed watching a nice movie...I really want to go at see Never Let Me Go, it looks really good.  Here's some more good one's!!!

  • Paul - starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
  • Gnomeo and Juliet - very good apparently?
  • Rango - It's got Johnny Depp in it, so it must be good!!



Sorry for a pretty boring post today, I hope you had a better day than I did though!!  Here's my bag I made I promised to show you:


It's like a Cath Kidston bag, just with my touch on it!!



Lots of Love
