It's been beautiful

In a bit of a crappy mood tonight as a result of a rubbish phone conversation with my silly mother. So I know that if I write a proper post today I'll just end up in an endless rant, we don't want that! So i felt like putting up some photos of the lovely times that have happened in the last month. Mostly taken on Tom's iphone using Hipstamatic and my phone using RetroCamera. 


My month in photos. 

Tom and I finally got to celebrate together.

I'm fixing my iPod. It's on charge, 

won't find out till tomorrow if it worked! 

Hope everyone enjoyed pancake day wherever they are. I certainly did, thanks to Cassie and her culinary expertise. God, pancakes and bacon and phenomenal! 

Other than eating pancakes nothing exciting happened till Tom came, his visit this last few days have been amazing. I don't remember the last time he stayed for more than 15 hours. It was so relaxed. I made some beautiful tuscan sausage stew and we went to see True Grit which was amazing. We also went out for lunch at Ketchup and hung at the union while the elections were being announced for some moral support for people. It was lovely! 

Hopefully all the bad chat with my mum will blow over and I'll be in a better mood the next time I blog!

Over and out.

Start of the end of 2nd year..

Eughh, so I've came to the realisation that I'm 7 weeks away from finishing my 2nd year in my course. It's scary yet amazing. But most definitely terrifying, as on the 26th of April I've got an actual Java exam! Scary stuff. As for last weeks java secret, I gave in and handed it in on Sunday. But this week is the start of our final java hand in for the semester which is group work. It's not even started well as I've not got the best of groups, minus my flatmate which is good, but other than that, not the best and someone in our group doesn't seem to actually exist in uni. Anyway, lets see how it works out. 


As for this week, I'm pretty happy, although I'm getting a bit pissed off with a few very silly things. I made the mistake of sending all my new purchases to my parents house not my uni address, utter fail! I wish I'd made the decision to purchase the stuff a few days earlier as it means that they won't arrive before Tom comes visit on Tuesday! Boo. Other than that, I've just got back from my mates 21st birthday drinks, (so as a result, I'm sorry if this is a bit of a babble. I have drank a few G&T's..) but it turned out she had no idea about the engagement, she bloody cried, I still haven't cried! Although, I'm not much of a crier, I get told I've got no soul as a result of my claim that I've literally never cried at a movie or a song or anything like that. Al least someone cried, although, Tom's quite the wee emotional thing, which is lovely. He had tears in his eyes when he asked me, it's times like them I wish I did find these thing emotional. 

Cassie and I seen this in as little shop today. 

All Cassie could say was

'Aww! It's you and Tom!'

At the weekend we ended up having a great time. It's usually quite quiet in the flat at the weekend as quite often most weeks someone goes home to see someone for some other reason. This week Finlay was away but we still went Ice Skating, it was epic. We also went straight from there to the pub and didn't come home till 2am which was great fun. It also ended up with some clothes swapsies with Clare after her lending me all her clothes for Paris and me wanting to get rid of some. The main thing I'm missing from it is my I ♥ NY tshirt - and might I add, if anyone from NY is willing to send me one over in exchange for money, it's be much appreciated! Saying that, I defo gained a few lovely things! 

I freakin' love ice skating but I had a spectacular fall! 

Here's some of the lovely things I've got an eye on to buy with my birthday money.. 

1. Dehlia Polka dot dress, £60, Asos.
2. Lomography colour negative film, £6.99, Lomography.
3. Disaster Designs wash bag, £17, Pelican Pear.
4. Fairisle print dress, £35, Asos. 


So anyway, I'm pretty excited about tomorrow. It's not only the day I get to go get my engagement ring sized with Tom's mum, it's bloody pancake day! I've never tried savory pancakes, or even pancakes with bacon, it's going to be experienced tomorrow! We have class till 10 and then everyone in the flat plus some others are heading back and Cassie is going to feed us a load of lovely yummy pancakes! 


I hope you all the joy and yummyness on pancake day! 


Over and out.

Joys and mates.

So after cooling down a little after last week, I can safely say, I'm so happy. Although, my happiness hasn't helped my motivation. I'll tell you a small secret. I haven't done my java this week! The hand in was at 6pm today and it's now 12.30am! I feel like such a wee rebel. But I will probably hand it in tomorrow night or on Sunday, I'm not rebellious enough to just leave it as it isn't just any assignment, it is a percentage of my grade. Boo I don't care though, not tonight anyway! 


But yeah, we went out as a flat the other night after having a bunch of folk over to celebrate with us. It's was a great night and ended with everyone accumulating in my room at 4am eating chips and cupcakes and being drunk. (Don't trust drunkies with cupcakes in your bed, or you'll find yourself changing your bed drunkenly at nearly 5am!) 

Meet the flatmates!

Cass and Louisa made me a birthday cake. 

It was epic! 

But since then I've been just kicking in the flat and failing at getting back in my routine. Also, on Tuesday, my folks and my big bro came up and we all went out for dinner and I got my birthday presents. It was so lovely and I hadn't properly seen my brother in ages so I got to actually catch up with him and see what he thought about the whole engagement chat. Anyway, in the end as I said in the last post I got spoilt rotten. Check out some of my beautiful pressies! 

The folks got me a cupcake stand full of cakes! NOM.

They were successfully demolished at the party.

Polly got me this beautiful playsuit.

Got this epic comfy hat with some

tk maxx vouchers along with 

some le creuset cookware.

I'm also trying out wearing a nose ring. 

What do you think? Too much?

This is my absolutely beautiful necklace

my parents got me. It's so amazing..

AND it's versatile and can be worn back to front

A new addition to my charm bracelet. 

Swarovski duck charm.

A bag I got off Asos with some birthday 

money. I think I only got it because

it's very similar to Clare's bag, which I

am in love with and now have to return.

Well, that and it's well pretty!

The beautiful Disaster Designs Thermos 

that my mate Cat gave me. I've used 

it non-stop since!

So I basically have the weekend to let me fall back to reality and hopefully that means I can get on with my first week of my final project for one of my modules. But I'll leave that to think about for tomorrow or the next day. For now, I'm off to bed to get up and head off ice skating with a bunch of mates tomorrow, should be a right laugh! (Photos should follow!) 


Have an epic weekend guys. 


Over and out.

Dream week!

Okay, sorry for the horrific delay from posting but as most of you probably know, I've been pretty busy! 


So, Paris was unbelievable. It was a relaxing, yet busy trip of just the two of us enjoying sights and each others company. But also full of beautiful surprises! We saw an unbelievable amount of things including -

The Eiffel Tower - Didn't go up though..
The Louvre
Centre Pompidou
Disneyland - Incredible
Moulin Rouge
Sacre Coeur
Montparnasse
Montmartre
Champs Elysees - Shopping at Laduree, Sephora & Swarovski


As you see it was pretty busy. We walked an unreal amount each day and ate such great food. 


But I have massive news, on Friday in Disneyland, Tom proposed! I obviously said yes! I'm SO happy it's unreal. I had no idea it was going to happen and it turns out it's been planned for quite a while. He even asked my dad! Seriously, I can't stop smiling and telling everyone. The ring is his great Grandma's engagement ring from about 80 years ago. I think I've told everyone I've came across since I got off the plane in Edinburgh, even the girl at the bank today. It was so bloody romantic. It happened on the teacups in Disneyland. We had been wondering about all day and were having a break from queuing and roller coasters so went on it's a small world and then the teacups. We sat down, it was just getting dark and he said I had to close my eyes for a surprise he had. Till the moment he put the ring in my hand, I totally thought it was a birthday present. Obviously I was wrong! It was well lovely. 

Last photo I took it happened. 

Other than that exciting news, theres nothing much else thats happened. But while I was away I took about 800 photos so here is a few from my lovely week. 

Dinner at the RoseLeaf

Pot-tails are the best.

The bag I borrowed from Clare fitted 

right in to the decor of RoseLeaf. 

Beautiful ol' Paris

Got to love a bit of Disney hat action!

Next best thing to Tom meeting goofy,

a goofy hat.

Just another Minnie Mouse..

Laduree in Champs Elysees

Forbidden Photos..

I got told off after this one

Admiring my new ring!

Tom at the Eiffel Tower

Other than Paris and a surprise engagement, I've been becoming a year older.. and oddly enough, I like being 21. I was thinking I would hate the thought of it but yeah, it's good. I've basically had a week and a bit long birthday, it's been rather epic to be honest. 

I got pretty spoilt to say the least but, hey, you only turn 21 once. I didn't properly see my parents till yesterday except for a little hour after getting off my flight on sunday night. But they came up on Tuesday to have lunch and give me my birthday presents. My camera has ran out of batteries unfortunately but in the next few days I'll post some photos of some of the lovely stuff I got from my lovely family and friends. 

But until then, I need to try get back in the swing of things back at uni, it's pretty hard when you're so excited about something and just want to tell everyone instead of working. But it's got to be done!

Over and out!
