It's Friday and I'm blogging...

...this makes me incredibly happy!

(Inspired by the lovely Lauren at The Little Things We Do!)
It feels like ages since I blogged on a Friday, so here is a bumber edition of Lauren's fill in the blanks Friday from both this week and last week, hurray!

1. The first thing I do in the morning is hug Thomas and then go back to sleep whilst he gets up and potters around – I’m rubbish at getting up in the morning, I stay in bed as long as I can get away with.

2. Every night before bed I have to check the front door is locked at least 3 times…

3. My favorite thing to do when I'm having a bad day is cook. I’ve really started to enjoy cooking all of our food from scratch and its so therapeutic as well.

4. Something that makes me cringe is embarrassing humour. I can’t watch the office or meet the parents or anything like that… its just too embarrassing for me. I’ve only just started to appreciate Curb your Enthusiasm…

5. Social situations are my favourite, I’ve never been shy and I love to meet new people and chat.

6. I like to collect cameras… hurray!

7. Weekends are for relaxing – at least this weekend will be, I’m determined!

and...

1. The strangest thing I've ever eaten was um, I don’t know to be honest... 2011 edit: Snail! Snail is strange.

2. My best friend is friends are my favourite people in the world – I’d be totally lost without them.

3. If I could live in a different era it would be the future because I’m excited about the possibilities, I obviously watched far too much star trek when I was little!

4. I like cats but I love puppies… I’m working on it…

5. If you only know one thing about me it should be I’m overly emotional when it comes to people and things I love.

6. My favorite book of all time is The Pawn of Propehercy by David Eddings – it opened my eyes to a science fiction and fantasy world and I haven’t looked back since.

7. The one beauty product I couldn't live without is concealer.

8. Blogging is my favourite pastime, its my little haven where I have the greatest blog friends, so much creative inspiration and I love it. Especially now my reader is organised and I can keep up with all your amazing blogs – I’m comment happy, hurray!
9. If I could star in a movie with any actor/actress I would want to work with Elizabeth Taylor when she was younger… she was absolutely stunning and had such presense.

10. One of the best feelings in the world is being happy with yourself… its such a tough place to reach and I don’t feel it everyday but when I do, it’s the best.

and just to complete my Friday here are some fabulous links that I've been saving up!
I love blogging :)

1. After yesterday's tape excitement I am loving all tape inspiration!
2. After yesterday's polaroid excitement, I am loving all polaroid's too!
3. Especially this polaroid engagement story, happy sigh
4. The only 'Keep Calm and...' poster I have ever really really wanted... I love it.
5. Some amazing 'things I love about spring' lists from Miss James and Janel.
and
6. Some amazing yellow love sent to me by Cassie.
Thanks Cassie, you made my day!!

Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend!
p.s. if anyone else sees any yellow links that I may have missed send them my way, I love them!

Blanks, links and yellooooow!

This morning I woke up thinking it was Saturday and I'll be honest - I sulked all the way to work that it wasn't - but now I'm so glad its Friday - I love filling out the blanks, sharing some amazing links and encouraging my own obsession with yellow (its bordering on a problem surely..?)

I'm also emailing my favourite girly's, looking forward to my yummy lunch, planning my outfit for tomorrow (which is rare for me lol) and trying not to reblog the amazing cuteness that are puppy photos on Tumblr (eep, too cute!)
( Fill in the Blanks Friday - Inspired, as ever, by the lovely Lauren)
  1. Today I am wearing my usual: jeans, little black vest, dark grey cardigan and pointy flat pumps (it tends to be the colours that vary...)
  2. My favorite childhood food was my Mum and my Nan's roast dinners and my favorite food now is roast vegetable risotto - I love roast veg and any risotto really - but together... yum!
  3. A day that I am too busy to do a blog post is a day that I (really) am too busy.
  4. The last movie I saw was Zombieland - we're still quoting from it, haha and the next movie I want to see is Kick Ass (totally agree with Lauren there) and Ponyo - why haven't I seen that yet?!
  5. My favorite smell is roast vegetables because it means I'm about to eat some...
  6. A weird little quirk I have is I like to do everything in round numbers - if I have to decide on a number it usually ends in an 0 or 5...
  7. When I take personality quizzes they always say I'm exactly how I am - how do they do that??

And here are some amazing links for you from my browsing this week - I've really fell in love with blogging again today - I found some great new blogs and I've been slowly sorting my blogroll out and reminding myself of blogs that I still love - hurray for blogging!
  1. Make your own mozerella cheese?! I need to do this!
  4. This is one of those ideas that I wish I had thought of: blogging around the world. Enjoy.
  5. My all time favourite outfit is in this perfect yellow post - can you guess which one it is?
I am super excited about this weekend - so far our plans are: a beer festival, yummy curry round our friends, baking, sleeping and making a serious dent in Mass Effect 2!

Have a great (and hopefully sunny) weekend!
p.s. I completely forgot to mention this before but I wrote a guest post for the lovely Chrystal at Geez Louise about my ideal home - if you're interested then click here .

Fill in the blanks and thing's I've learnt...

It's Friday!! I am seriously beginning to love my Friday routine of blanks and links - maybe I should have titled this post that, haha.

(Inspired once again by the amazing Lauren at The Little Things We Do)

1. The best day ever was - I don't know, I can never pick things like this - I like lots of days...
2. My favorite meal of the day is tea/dinner/evening meal (whatever people call it) since starting our healthy diet we have been eating some amazing food and cooking together - its my favourite part of the day.
3. This weekend will hopefully be as good as last weekend - just in different ways.
4. Never in my life have I eaten ostrich.
5. The only thing better than blogging is tumbling- I am obsessed!
6. I could really do with some sleep.
7. The most recent thing I bought myself was a Cosmic 35 camera from ebay - a real russion, vintage, Lomo camera - I got it for £3 and it is incredibly beautiful. It makes the most amazing sounds!! I'm going to try taking pictures with it ASAP. I love it... happy sigh.
And here are some amazing links for you, I'm so happy its spring and
everyone else is loving yellow too!
  1. I have loved Abby Try Again's spring colours week - the yellow is my fave!
  2. I love all of the images that Lavelle finds but this yellow post is especially gorgeous!
  3. Golden is just another name for yellow!
  5. and to break it up a bit - a boston terrier tea party - yeay for dogs!!
Have a great weekend!!

You definitely want to head over, I love Katrina's shop!

4. If I could choose one outfit to live in it would be Um, a cute black vest, a yellow cardi, some expensive jeans (they would have to last) and those Seychelles shoes (I'm obsessed, still haven't found them in my size, I must have big feet)
5. People are annoying at the moment - especially people on buses.
