Off The Record: Birthdays, Booze and Blurry Eyes

Happy Happy Sunday ladies and gents! It was my birthday Friday so I have spent much of the weekend celebrating and I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a few celebratory drinks, and this morning I am definitely feeling it. Next week will be another exciting week for me as myself and Mr T are heading out to Sweden to visit my best friend in Lund. We will arrive in Stockholm and spend a few days there, then move on to Lund and finally Copenhagen. I am so stupidly excited and they have already had the first sightings of snow so I know its going to make me feel very festive indeed. I really must thank my other half for this gift I am so very blessed!

♥ Visiting our local christmas craft fair – the smell of mulled cider and roasted chestnuts really had me feeling all festivally and listening to the Victorian Choir was amazing!

♥ Thanks to Jess I can now add a new Crown and Glory crown to my little collection as she so kindly bought me the new Sophie Glitter Rose Headband. I have had my eye on that crown for some time and will now be proudly wearing it for the rest of the christmas period!

♥ Starting to make our house a home. We moved into our house last summer and I have to admit we have been a little bit lazy when it comes to making it ours. We finally made a start this week putting up blinds and buying a few more bits and bobs. Over the coming months I have big plans to completely renovate our old dining room table and book shelves as well as lots of other features which I am totally psyched about!

♥ I am currently obsessed with Bastille’s ‘Of the Night’? It takes me right back to my school disco days, I blinking love it!

♥ Eating birthday cake!

♥ Family get togethers – my crazy brothers organised a meal for my birthday at one of my favourite Indian Restaurants. We don’t get to spend much time together so catching up with them made for a wonderful night. They even had the whole restaurant sing happy birthday to me 🙂

♥ The Hunger Games. OH MY GOD. I can’t stop thinking about it. This happened when I watched the first film and now the second one has screwed me all over again! Anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, go go go!!

♥ Topshop sale rail. New jumper for £15! BOOM!

♥ Celebrating Emily’s birthday last night with one too many shots and toilet selfies!!

♥ Watching James open his advent calendar day by day that I made him! I’ve actually forgotten which things I put where so it’s exciting for me too! We’re yet to check the lottery ticket in yesterday’s door!

♥ This article called 35 pictures that prove the world isn’t such a bad place. It’s soooo lovely and really does make you remember how kind strangers can be sometimes! I absolutely loved reading it and feeling good about life, with so many terrible things in the news all the time it’s always nice to focus on the nice things happening around the world too. Number 31 was my favourite!
