This isnt the first time I have read this book, in fact I have read this book probably a dozen times. I love this book. I love Cecelia Ahern. I have read quite a number of her books my favourites being this one and PS I love you.
I like the style of writing this book is set in. It consists of a letters, emails, instant messages and the occasional text message. Its really easy to read and because it each letter is not that long you can literally pick it up, read a bit and then come back to it later.
So this book is about 2 best friends and their lives. It starts when they are about 5 and starting school and follows them through childhood, marriage, children, growning old... I would reccomend that everyone reads this book. Its a lovely read about a guy and a girl who grow up best friends.
One this book makes me want to do everytime I read it to write more letters...
And so Day 13...
A song to match my mood.. hmmmm. Its 10.30 in the morning and I am not really sure what mood I am in at the moment. Although there is something on my mind at the moment which I cant stop thinking about. I think that I have decided that I need to close the door on it. I need to let it go. Nothing is going to happen and I need to accept that and move on. I think something has finally made me realise it is time to move on. I thought that things were not going to change.. we said things wouldnt change or get weird but I feel like they have. And I think last night prooved that. Time to move on Laura and forget about him...
- My Handbag (or one of the ones I use most often) - Was £22 from Dorothy Perkins but got 20% student discount off it so it was only £17.80 :)
- My Tommy Hilfiger Glasses case for my glasses
- The book I am currently reading - Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern (Will do a review when done)
- My Purse which was from Evans and I think was around £12 (but got 25% staff discount as it was when I worked there)
- My Sunglasses - In case it ever gets sunny :P
- My Keys - I say Keys, out of that big bunch there is only actually 1 key for my front door on there - the rest is key rings. My 3 favourite ones are the Witches Hat (from London when I went to see Wicked), the Penny Lane one (from the Beetles Museum in Liverpool) and the Hogwarts Crest (from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter)
- My "Make Up" Bag - Not really a make up bag because there isn't really any make up in it. I have a hairbrush (which also have a clothes brush), A mirror, Paracetamol, No7 Lipstick in shade 40 - Lovely and my absolutely favourite lipgloss in the whole world; Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker in shade Baby Doll
- My Raspberry Filofax which contains EVERYTHING!!! I couldnt live without it!
My Itunes Library is such a pic and mix of different things from pop to classical, R&B to musicals.

Here’s a picture of me on 31st August 2009 at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida. This photo brings back some absolutely fantastic memories. This holiday was my first alone (aboard) without my parents and I loved every single minute of it. I was so excited to see the making of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – and even more excited when we went back to Florida 8 months later as an end of uni celebration and were one of the first people to get to go into the wizarding world of Harry Potter before the grand opening.
Good Times.
Hello there lovelies!
I bet you thought I had given up on this? My life has been absolutely hectic this last week. I feel like I havent stopped! I think this is the first time in over a week that I have had my laptop on.
So last friday my best friend gave birth to a beautiful baby girl :) she is called Montana Louise and is absolutely GORGEOUS. I met her for the first time last sunday after my friend had been home for a day and got to have lots of cuddles :P It does make me extremely broody when I see her (although children are not on my plan yet - although I cant wait to have kids)
This week I have spent a lot of time behind a needle and thread making a costume for my friends birthday party yesterday! She is an absolutely MAD Harry Potter fan just like me and had a Harry Potter Party :) I went dressed as Luna :) You can not see my costume that well here but I made the robes myself from a pattern that Vikki (my friend) sent me and had a white shirt and pleated skirt. I knew my friend would go as Hermionie because her boyfriend is Ginger and was so made to go as Ron so I knew I didnt want to go as Hermionie. I chose to go as Luna. I love Luna. She is one of my favourite characters (although in fairness that is quite a long list - Hermionie, Ginny, Draco, Luna, Harry, Professor McGonnagal, Professor Snape, Lupin and Sirus) so yeah I chose Luna. I like how individual she is and thought it would be a good one to be funky with. So with my uniform of the ravenclaw tie and uniform I teamed it with some purple tights and of course Luna's signiture Radish Earings and Butterbeer Cork Necklace which I made myself.
I also made a cake for my friend. I do love my cake making and so to team it with one of my other loves of Harry Potter was even better. I really enjoyed making this cake :)
Going back to continue with my 30 day list (with a gap :P ) DAY 8 - A song that reminds you of someone your closest to.
When thinking about a song that reminds me of someone I am close to there is only one song which springs into my mind and that is For Good from the musical Wicked. This song is me and my best friends Anthem. We both love Wicked and when we went to see it last year it was magical.. and we both loved every moment of it. The lyrics are so true :D
I LOVE this song and can not hear it without thinking of my best friend. I am so lucky to have him as a friend :D

So day 6...
I dont really like this... I wouldnt say that I hate anything about myself.. sure there are plenty of things which I dont like about myself but in terms of really hating anything I wouldnt say there is anything...

Ok excuse the no makeup look :P
So today is take a photo of your yourself and describe your day. So today I have been up to quite a bit. Started off this morning by going to a vintage craft fayre which was absolutely ace! I love vintage, crafts and anything unusual (as you may be able to see from my scrabble tile necklace on the photo above) so I was looking forward to going to get some ideas and see if i spotted anything nice. I did buy a couple of badges, a flower and another one which says vintage <3 I could have quite easily spent an absolute fortune as they had soome ace things like some lovely hand knitted hand warmers, picture frames, cushions, jewlellery - I could go on...
After that we went down to the Monkey forest at Trentham where my brother works. They have got a photography competition on at the moment and me and my dad enjoying photography as we do we wanted to go down and take some photos to enter. So me mum and dad went down this afternoon. It was lovely because it was really sunny and warm. I got some good photos, the only problem being I cant decide which one to enter in the competition now.
Hmmmm so day 2. A random piece of information about myself.
The best random fact about myself I can think of is that I am an 1/8 Jamaican (I think it’s an 1/8). My dad’s grandma was from Jamaica. It’s quite strange because when I tell people I have an element of Jamaican blood they can almost see it. My hair is very dark and I only have to be in the sun for about 20 minutes before I start to tan. However my brother is the complete opposite. He has practically bleach blond hair and 9 times out of 10 goes red rather than tanned in the sun.
Here we are together. See complete negatives of each other. He is blond with blue eyes and I am dark with green eyes. Strange eh? This is at his 21st about 3 weeks ago :)
Genetics is something which really fascinates me. Tracing my family tree is something I really want to do, it may be hard to do on my dad’s side as there are not many people who could start it off now but it would be interesting to try. Maybe sometime in the future.
