Meh...

I have no idea what to post today...

After a few days of posts floating around my head, I have nothing... nothing!

I feel like having a big whinge about work which is bad considering I only got back today and really who wants to hear about that? I don't want to read about it in a few years time when I look back at this (hi future me)

I could post some pictures... but I always post pictures... boring... and I took maybe 10 over the weekend and most of them were bad ones of Matt Groening...

So here I am with nothing but a bad mood and whingey post...

I think I'm still frustrated/disappointed from Tuesday - we looked at mortgages for a shared ownership house but for a £75,000 mortage we would have to pay back £180,000 over 30 years... plus rent on top of that... um... what?!

I think we'll stick with renting thanks. I was anxious about it to start, then I really swung round the idea of a garage and more importantly a garden (which can lead to pets and vegetables...) and now we're back to square one. The even more frustrating thing is that I was and I still am happy with square one - I have no problem with renting and I don't need a marriage/mortgage/house/garage to feel happy or commited...

...though a garden would be amazing!

stupid mortgages, stupid migraines and stupid me for getting so wound up about things when I'm happy with how things are already...
p.s. on a side note the picture below is still making me laugh (its the fist I think...) and this seems so exciting, I think I'm going to enter some ideas.

Sorry for the blog silence...

...but Thomas and I have a few days off work after ATP and it caused an unplanned but probably much needed blog break...

here's a funny picture that had us both really laughing after some disappointing news today... I hope it makes you laugh too. I'll be back on Thursday.

(I can't decide if its his face or the fist that makes me laugh so much?? love it!

p.s. don't forget to enter my amazing polaroid giveaway, its been great seeing everyones favourites!

A polaroid themed giveaway - closed!!

Right now I am (hopefully) sitting on a train to Minehead for ATP curated by Matt Groening! I am so excited!

So... as I have no polaroids to share with you today I decided that now would be an awesome time to have a giveaway to celebrate polaroid week and being nice!

This giveaway is a bit epic as there will be
not one but four different winners
each winning something from a truly wonderful shop.

I must admit I am a teeny bit jealous of the winners already.

First up is the lovely Diana with her shop City Light Photography. I have loved Diana's work for almost as long as I have been blogging and I always automatically think of her images when I think of polaroids so I am delighted to include her work in the giveaway!

So you can win... Diana's Polaroid Carnival Set which includes 3 gorgeous 5x5 prints of polaroid photos.

Next up is Phebe with her creative polaroid prints, I only discovered Phebe's flickr this week through Pugly Pixel but I was instantly smitten and inspired by her sense of fun and adventure especially as I am just now starting to take polaroids of my own.

So you can win... an 8 x 10 print of Phebe's delightful Legs in the Sky print.

Next is Sarah from Urban Varieties with her amazing prints. I have a weakness for anything camera related on Etsy and when I first saw these my heart skipped a beat at the simplicity of how beautiful the black lines looked against the colour backgrounds. I could happily own one of each print if Thomas let me...

So you can win... An 8 x 10 print of Sarah's beautiful Polaroid 640 in teal.

And, last but not least is one of my favourite etsy shops, Cute n Boot. I already own some the pocket books from this shop and I absolutely adore carrying them around in my bag during the day just in case I need to write something down.

So you can win... a set of Cute n Boots darling polaroid pocket books portraying a time line of polaroid cameras.

The winners for this giveaway have now been announced.

Thank you to everyone who commented!!

Are you excited?? I am! I hope you have all loved Polaroid week not just here but on my tumblr and of course Flickr as well... I already can't wait for next year... I might have some colour polaroids by then!

Happy weekend!!

Roid week! Day 4...

Hurray, some actual polaroids for roid week rather than my fuji's
(although I do adore my fuji camera!)
PX600 film is so temperamental - isn't it funny how none of my polaroids so far have turned out the same way...

I love these two photos as they are some of my favourite things: my cameras and my girls.

If you love polaroids and are enjoying polaroid week so far then you should definitely pop back here tomorrow, I have something far too exciting plannned!
