So gorgeous!

An update

I think I now finally know what I want to do with my life and its ever so exciting if not truly terrifying! Its easy enough to dream but going out there and grabbing what you want and putting you're all into getting it, well that's a completely different story. I'm going to spend the next couple of months working my arse off to make sure I can make some progress with this! Watch this space...
I'm also working on different ways to make a bit of extra money while I wait for a job opportunity to pop up. So far all I've got is the rather obvious eBay but I never seem to get round to it! I need to just put an afternoon/evening aside and sort it all coz the amount of clothes I haven't worn in months that are starting to clutter up my perfect little flat is rather ridiculous! If any ones interested in all my old shit that I no longer want then keep a look out for some eBay links!
I'm also in the middle of helping my baby group plan a Macmillan coffee morning and I'm really excited about it! I've always said I want to do more to help others and help raise money for charities, and what a perfect way. I also get to put my appalling cake making skills into practise and that's always a laugh!
Yesterday was my little mans third birthday! Its crazy to think I am the mother to a three year old boy, where has the time gone! Yesterday couldn't have gone any better though and it was a truly wonderful day. Its the first year Toby's been completely aware what a birthday actually is and watching him get so excited and grateful over every single gift made me ever so proud! I don't think I've ever seen anyone get so excited over a pair of socks! It also reminded me just how amazing my friends are and how lucky Toby and I are to have them. I was bombarded with texts, facebook messages, tweets and even a few surprise visits! I still can't believe its been three years already, and what an amazing three years it has been. 

I saw these images on le fashion and instantly fell in love. So simple yet so stunning.

As someone who quite literally lives in her denim cut-offs I'll most definitely be using them as inspiration!

Can I have the legs as well  please?

I am a completely different person to the one I used to be, and that is the thing I love the most about myself.

Love love love!

Saving money has always been my absolute weakest point in life and today has been no exception. I went into town to get presents for the little mans third birthday (three years old! Crazy I know!) and ended up treating myself to lots of new make up and quite literally had to drag myself away from a gorgeous pair of shoes in Tin Fish while I was paying Harriet a visit. Actually scratch the money saving thing, its shoes that have always been my absolute weakest point in life! I am almost completely certain I will be back mid week to purchase them. But all in all I think I'm doing quite well and it will all be worth it in the long run!

I don't particularly have a great deal to update you all on at the minute. Planning a toddlers birthday party has proven to be rather time consuming and on top of that me and Toby have both been rather ill this week! I do have to say, he did manage to cope with it a hell of a lot better than me! But I am finally off my deathbed and have a hectic week ahead of me that I am rather looking forward to. I have lots of catching up to do with everyone before they all leave me and head back to uni and its looking like a night out is on the cards  for Friday! Hopefully I'll have something interesting to tell you all about next time...

Pink is my thing right now.
