Disappointment with a certain website

August 21, 2009 at 5:01 pm (Uncategorized)

I’ve already had two biscuits and an ice lolly today..

Anyway, I just remembered to tell you that I visited a well known crafts store, (a superstore you might call it) and added some items to my basket.  I went to the payment process, at which point the transaction failed to go through. I emailed the company straight away, asking if there was anything wrong- intending to return to the online store the following day, to complete my payment.

Instead of this, they failed to reply to me until 5 days later, by which point I was thinking they weren’t interested, and they didn’t even apologise.  That was the worst part- no apology at all.  I felt this was incredibly rude and I have not gone back.

Weight Loss

August 20, 2009 at 9:27 am (Uncategorized)

Throughout my life I’ve been very proud of being able to stay thin.  But last year I allowed myself to put on weight.  I went from 8 and a half  stone to 10 and a half  stone in a year.

In 4 months, I’ve managed to get myself down to 10 stone but it’s been an awful struggle.  I’ve gone for runs about twice a week and I try to go for walks and do some aerobics every day, but it’s hard to fit that into my working life.

I have an operation soon which means I’ll have to only consume liquid foods for two weeks, so that should actually help me along.  My goal is to be 9 stone by the 1st November.

Personalised Christmas Baubles

Personalised Christmas Baubles

Personalised Christmas Baubles

Hey, it was only a few months ago I was talking about Christmas stress.  I think I should rename this the ‘Christmas Blog’.  But I’m already thinking of things to buy my beloved, plus family and friends.

I love this idea that With Love Gifts are doing – Christmas baubles you can personalise.  I’m always wary of giving too many gifts at that time of year which aren’t particularly Christmassy.

It’s so much nicer to give a gift that’s personal.  The Christmas bauble will re-emerge every year, reminding you of that Christmas you received it, making the whole decoration of the tree extra special.

I love it :D   –> Personalised Christmas baubles

Christmas Stress

December 23, 2008 at 3:16 pm (Uncategorized) ()

I apologise greatly for the lack of posting recently- Christmas sure is the busiest time of the year, whether it’s shopping/work/family life.

I’ll get back into posting after Christmas has finished, and the stress is no longer present.

I have bought so many gifts this year, I think I may have gone overboard.   But I won’t say anything specific incase my loved ones end up reading here before Christmas Day..

Speak soon..

Cheap Fireworks are rubbish

November 4, 2008 at 11:47 am (Uncategorized) ()

My boyfriend’s brother had bought us a set of Fireworks from Tesco, and yesterday we decided to light them all.  They weren’t real fireworks though- just waves of sparks and hissing noises lol.  As the pack was only £3, I guess I shouldn’t have expected more, but because I have absoloutely zero experience with fireworks (never allowed to try them at my own home), I was pretty disappointed.
And standing in the dark while it was raining wasn’t exactly brilliant.  If I was to do that again, I’d buy some proper big rockets, the kind you only really see in professional displays. Not those weedy pathetic little things.  It would be about £30 for only 1, but it would be worth it :D
