Joe Browns

Joe Browns is one of my favourite shops, however it is far to expensive. My current love it a really pretty dress that I think is beautiful and would look great in but I can't afford it. I will continue to keep torturing myself by looking at it to see if the price goes down. Hopefully I will be able to afford it soon. 
                     

Online Shopping

Etsy is this awesome website my friend found. It is full off some cool, unique and vintage things. I have a massive love for notebooks, I always have and found some really beautiful ones on it. These are a couple of my favourites;

Snow Damage

As much as I love the snow, and not going to school, today the reality has come back to me. Walking up the steps to my house was terrifying as they have frozen over and even walking to work anywhere that was covered was becoming ice. They have also started clearing more roads and paths and the way I walk to work has been was blocked by a very large pile of snow as that is where they decided to put all the snow they cleared.
The worst damage however is in the back garden. The snow on the garage roof is really deep and the gutter totally froze. As a result the gutter and half of the bits that hold it up collapsed today. The nice snow looks a mess, which is gutting, but its going to be a pain getting it fixed and paying for it and the path dad cleared is now covered in fallen snow.

Icicles

The sever winter weather may be a pain to some but for me it is far from it. A break from school is exactly what I needed. It has also made the everything look cool and pretty.

 

I have never seen snow so deep and it looks like we could be at one of the poles. I haven't seen the ground in days. One of the most amazing things it has caused is icicles. I have never seen them for real before but there are loads on the houses across the road. They are hanging off the plants and there are a couple that hang from the gutter to the bottom of the window, that makes them as long as I am tall !!

Snow Letter

Since Friday night we have had an almost constant snow fall. Woke up on Saturday morning to the sound of hail on the window and looked out onto a street blanketed with snow. It was beautiful. It is very early for snow but it is great, just hope we get a day off school for it. 

On the way home from work, I was imagining my future, about my boyfriend being my husband and us having kids. I was thinking how great it would be seeing our kids seeing snow for the first time, how excited they would be, wrapping them up warm in hats and gloves and their smiles and giggles. 

I also had the idea for this picture; 

It made me smile and I knew it would make my Chris smile. So I made him the message in the snow and sent it to him. It made him smile and that made me happy and it reminded me that it is the simple things are the most beautiful and in the end that mean the most. I think that is something we all need to remember.

Paperazzi

Yesterday, I met Gordon Brown MP.
It was pretty cool to be honest.
I'm not sure what exactly I was expecting. I have met Jim Tolson MSP many times but never anyone like an ex-Prime Minister. He was really nice though. He was getting his picture taken with us so he shook all our hands and asked us what we wanted to do when we left school. Getting our picture taken was cool. There was so many camera's we did't know where to look and all the flashing made it feel like we were being 'pap'd' like celebrities. We didn't manage to make out if he had a fake eye or which one it was but he had body guards which was cool too see. Hopefully we will get our picture in the papers in the next week just need to look out for it.

It Only Takes a Minute to Make a Decision

My friend wrote on facebook today; 

'it only takes a minute to make a decision that will change the rest of your life, but it will take a lifetime to determine if that decision was the right one'

I can't decide if I agree with this or not.
Simple decisions maybe, but often we don't see how they alter our lives. The big ones however, for me, take a long time to decide. I mull over them for ages and often put them off. In the end I still spent ages thinking about them no matter what decision I made. 
Maybe this is just me, because I am indecisive and over think things but it I believe that in most cases, it takes longer than a minute to make a decision that will change the rest of your life.
