Laptop Laptop Laptop...

Eeeee, I am so excited that we are getting a laptop tomorrow- its just what we need!

Once I finished University (over a year ago now, I can't believe it) my computer decided that after 4 years of being overworked and constantly on it had had enough and one day it stopped turning on. I was incredibly sad - it was my first computer and it got me through my degree and was with me from the beginning... it also kept me in contact with Boyfriend through the years that we were hours away from each other. Luckily I saw the signs early and I put everything onto my hard drive - so my little computers spirit lives on (despite the fact that it is now stored safely in our wardrobe, waiting to be dismantled or updated...)

So when the new laptop arrives I am going to:

  1. Update my music and my Ipod - Boyfriend has so much music on his computer but I always feel bad if I hog it - at least with the laptop I can just plug the harddrives in and go!
  2. Transfer all my blog things from my little data stick onto my patiently waiting hard drive.
  3. Look through all my pictures from the past 4 years - I can not wait to do this. I think I'll share the best ones on here - maybe have a reminiscing week - what do you think?
  4. Play some old PC games that we have been saving for a rainy day - Broken Sword, yeay
  5. Catch up with Google Reader at the weekends! Woo! (and possibly even post... because just the weekdays isn't enough, hehe)
  6. Find the cutest laptop case for it - though Boyfriend will have to like it too, so maybe I mean coolest?

p.s. I'm also super excited that we have something that is ours! You know... besides the Xbox...

So right now...

I'm feeling happily overwhelmed!
(phrase shamelessly stolen from here :D)

Its been a bit of a odd weekend - I felt so ill on Saturday that we hardly did anything. I did check the internet though (I'm weak) and I found that not only had I won a one-off parcel from Tea for Joy... but I had been given awards by Sunflares Plethora and A Chick Named Hermia (oh and I got one from Red Boots as well but that was a while ago and I totally forgot)

Thank you so much!!

Luckily due to a combination of such exciting news and lots of naps (I love naps) I felt much better on Sunday so we popped into Town. We had a cheeky McDonalds in order to get some free Cola glasses... how cute are they?

And I tortured myself by looking around Urban Outfitters but not actually buying anything... oops! I was sorely tempted by this Ice Invaders tray though.

And thats about it... I love lazy weekends!

p.s. Hello to my latest followers Jade, Kirsten (do you have blogs? The google friends connect thing is so annoying!) Rachel, Lissbeth, notRuairi and Designani! I'm hugely excited to have you here!!

p.p.s. You can tell its been a lazy weekend when the only photos you have are from McDonalds!

Blog awards...

Yeay for blog awards! I love getting them but I love giving them out more! It really is a pleasure to be in contact with some wonderful, creative and exciting people through blogging - it amazes me everyday. Obviously I would love to give all the awards back to the people who gave them to me - but they already have them!

First is the Keepsake Blog award from Red Boots - how cute is this?

I shall also give it to two people:

Amy at I Then Shall Live (Such a wonderful post!)
Evelyn at A Star of Love

I love Red Boots blog by the way and I am so excited that she voluteered to help with my guest post week - I almost don't want to go on holiday so I can read them with everyone else :)
Next is the award from Sunflares Plethora - I am incredibly fond of this sweet girl already (who will also be guest blogging!!) and I haven't been reading her blog that long, so I was hugely excited to get an award from her, yeay!

So I'm going to give this award too:

Adele at Poptart
Alissa at Grace's Birdcage
Chelsea at Life is Beautiful
Alicia at The Red Deer
Nina at Naturally Nina
This final award from Hermia at A Chick Named Hermia and the amazing Diamond in the Rough (Check it out!) I am giving to all of my followers!!

I know its a slight cop out but I seriously can not believe I have over 40 (insane right) I was thinking of doing another giveaway at 50 followers but I never expected to get anywhere near that number in under a month so this is all I have for you -for now. Thank you so much for reading and please keep leaving comments - I love reading them and will try my best to comment back! (which should be easier now we're getting a laptop, woooop!!)
