Ohhhh it's HOT!!

Lovely summer vista from my hammock :)

I really shouldn't be complaining that it's too hot while I have a week off work... but it is, well if you want to be out doing stuff anyway!

It's been 29 degrees C here today and very humid so has been waaaay too hot to start staining the garden fences as planned. I did have a wee sunbathe before lunch and lasted about 10 minutes before my lily-white English skin begged for mercy - not a good start for the attempted I've-been-lazing-in-the-garden-while-you've-all-been-working tan...

Spent most of the afternoon begrudgingly indoors trying to keep cool whilst watching Wimbledon. Too hot for housework ;) The Murray v Wawrinka match is currently on - COME ON MURRAY!!!!!!!!!

Am going to see my Mum tomorrow so am looking forward to spending lots of time with my Mummy while my sister is at school :) I never see her alone, as much as I love my sister and step-dad, so it'll be great.

Enjoy your summer days! x

Happy Father's Day! x

Before I forget, I just wanted to thank two very special men today - my daddy and my step-dad. I cannot express how much I appreciate everything that you have done for me over the years. You mean the absolute world to me and I love you both millions xxx

Dad and I xxx

With my step-dad, Mum and sister xxx

Happy Father's Day to the Dad's of the world!

In my bag....

Hello! Two posts in as many days, woo! I have seen this on a few blogs, so thought I'd post my own.

What's in my bag?? Well my lovelies, have a look and you'll see:

Firstly, the bag is a silver shopper with lilac and silver lining by the wonderful Kathy Van Zeeland (I love her bags!)

Hot pink Filofax

Pink BlackBerry Pearl 8100

Light blue iPod nano (3rd generation) 8Gb

Hello Kitty purse

Mini Revlon hairbrush

E45 Cream

Nivea Creme tin

Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara

Carmex Cherry lipbalm

No 7 Lipgloss

Flirt mints

Sunglasses

Tissues

House keys

Car keys

Office keys

Oh, and the camera is usually in there as well! So basically, this is what I usually take everywhere with me (give or take make up bits and bobs), although I change my bags like the weather - must do a handbags blog soon :)

Believe me, there is an art to packing this all into the KVZ as it's quite compact at the opening. I love really big handbags but find that I end up with so many bits and pieces that I can never find anything!

I'm back!

Wow... I haven't been on here for sooooo long! Apologies that my last post was sombre - I was obviously having a sentimental day. Grief does that sometimes!

I'm not sure why, but I've never been able to get into blogging - very annoying as I love to write and I thought that I'd be blogging away like crazy. Maybe it's the thought that others can read it.... who knows!

Anyway, I have now resolved to blog, blog, blog (I don't think anybody ever reads this anyway so what the hell).

Hmmm... well, summer's here and I feel energised and inspired to BLOG :), to read that HUGE pile of books that I keep buying, to decorarate the house and to finally sort out my garden - beginning with sprucing up the fences with a fresh lick of cuprinol!! Hopefully I'll get lots done in the next few weeks as I have a week's annual leave beginning 29th June - I can't wait!!! (Hopefully I won't be too distracted by Wimbledon hehe).

Enjoy your weekend x
