A couple of weeks ago I tweeted about starting these posts. I love reading other people's "Up & Down" lists so thought I'd finally join the crowd and jot down mine!
Loving...
Gizmo cat.
Call me sad but I love this little fella so much, aww! I'm biased but I think Giz is beautiful. He never used to be a lap-cat at all but he's mellowing in his old age and is now really affectionate, he's so sweet :)
The Urban Decay limited edition "Alice In Wonderland" Book Of Shadows.
Alice In Wonderland was one of my favourite books as a child and when I saw the UD palette with the cute pop-up and Alice-inspired shadow names I knew I had to get one! I ordered mine from the Debenhams website last week and Mr Postman should deliver it tomorrow. I have to admit that I am very excited about it. Also looking forward to the movie... I'm going to see it in 3D!
Lazy Sundays.
I love waking up knowing that the day is mine to spend as I choose, and it doesn't happen too often so I make the most of it when it does.... chilling on the sofa reading a good book with endless cups of tea or watching a good movie snuggled up with Gizmo cat is bliss. Thumbs up for sofa days!
The end of February.
I'm not one to wish my life away but I've always hated February. It's always cold and dark, and spring seems such a long way off... but with March comes the extra summertime hour, yippee!
Loathing...
Emoticons.
:) :D :( ;) :'( XD
I use emoticons soooo much and it drives me mad. I didn't jump on the bandwagon for ages (because they annoyed me!) but I can't compose a text these days without automatically popping in a smiley or sad face... must, must, must make a concentrated effort to stop!
Stupid drivers.
Now this is forever THE pet peeve of mine. I am the most placid person you could ever meet but put me behind the wheel of a car and WOAH!!! I turn into the most evil tempered, shouting woman - driving definitely brings out the worst in me! Top driving related hates (in no particular order)
1. Ignorance of speed limits. Although I spend half of my time shouting at other drivers, I consider myself to be a safe driver and I abide by speed limits. I've lost five friends to car accidents so I loathe speeding drivers and people who take stupid selfish risks and overtake into oncoming traffic. Nine times out of ten you catch up with them again so what's the point?!
I also cannot ABIDE those drivers who trundle along doing 40mph on a 60mph road - or even worse - those who do not go above 50mph even though they have modern cars capable of at least twice that. These same drivers then seem to find the accelerator when entering a 30 or 40 mph zone and zoom off doing at least 10mph over the limit!!!
2. People who don't indicate. Especially on roundabouts. Many is the time I've sat there screeching "You ********!!!!!! I could have gone then!!!!"
3. People who hog the middle lane of the Motorway!!!
Mondays.
I still get the Sunday Night Blues! I used to hate Sunday nights when I was at school and still do. Don't get me wrong, I like my job and I'm fine when I get there, but I never want the weekend to end. That's probably why I always seem to update my blog at stupid-o-clock on a Sunday night.... eke the weekend out as much as possible!! Let's not even mention the Monday morning alarm. Urgh.
What are your current loves/hates?
