WAY BACK WEDNESDAY

By on • ( 2 Comments )


Sorry had to include that gif in… That was back in my youth so its kind of fitting for todays post. I thought I’d have a look back at the things that remind me of my youth…
These shoes were what were in fashion, I had all three at some point in the late 90’s and the early noughties.


 

I also owned a pair of pink flared cords quite similar to these Kate Spade ones. I definitely stood out like a sore thumb.



I enjoyed going to gymnastics, so once you mastered the bench turned upside down you were allowed on the balance beam 🙈


My make up bag had these two in and I’m pretty sure I was patchy, and orange and the blemishes were not concealed. But hey we learn by our mistakes

Finally these two mags. What sex education we weren’t getting in school we sure were getting them in here. I believe most of us 16 year old girls would flick through the pages of more to see what sex position of the fortnight was. Ha ha.
Feel free to share something that reminds you of your school days as a teenager.

JANUARY MONTHLY FAVOURITES

By on • ( 1 Comment )

Even though there is only 31 days of January- this month seems to have gone on and on and on. How we can’t wait for it to end….

but first let’s talk through my favourites.

SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH THE ORIGINAL SERIES

I remember how I raced home from school to make sure I put this on before my brother hogged the remote control  when he got in.

I was pleasantly surprised a few weeks ago to see that E4 was playing reruns of this. So I am reliving my youth of when I wished I could have a talking cat like Salem and another world through our airing cupboard on top of our stairs.

  • Having my Niece over and going through all the nursery rhymes you can think of and watching her get excited when I knew all the words. She’s precious our Daisy
  • Got to speak to my Dad on the phone for 45 mins. This is good because he has Dementia so his attention span is usually poor. I love hearing his voice and he still calls me Hol so there’s still a glimmer of hope.
  • Going to my Cousin 40th Party this weekend just gone. The music was all the oldies and it was a excuse to have a few archers and lemonade. The hangover the next day was minimal so thumbs up.

OLLY MURS – EXCUSES

I have always liked Olly Murs style of singing. All his songs are really catchy. He’ll always get a Darlin‘ in there if you really listen…quite funny actually. It’s good to see him back on our screen in The Voice too.

ALIEN GIFT SET BY MUGLER

Oh my goodness me…after my friend sent me a little sample in a box swap we done I said to my Mum did she wanna chip in and get this gift set with me and it is the most sensual scent my nose have inhaled. Let’s just say I smell bloody lush.

finally I always leave you with a quote so this is my favourite at the mo.


I hope you’ve had some fab moments throughout January. Feel free to share them in the comments below.

Thanks for stopping by

Til next time

Oh yes its Friday night

By on • ( 6 Comments )

Hey Hey, its Friday.

I actually don’t mind staying in on a Friday night, or a Saturday come to think of it. I think as you get older you go past caring about going out on the razz every weekend.

I’m going to make my Friday night a nostalgic one. Cos i love memories i can look back on. So here’s my plans.

I’ve got 10 things i hate about you, cos who didn’t swoon over Heath singing your too good to be true can’t take my eyes off of you back in the 90s.

Then Billy Elliot, i love the how it’s full of controversy and it tells a wonderful story. Julie Walters is so funny in it too.

Finally Muriels Wedding. It’s such a classic and me and my friend Lou used to do the Waterloo dance in her living room until we had the moves to a T.

I found my diary from 10 years ago and i know this will be a banger to read as i remember the boyfriends and my clubbing days were quite something to write about so i look forward to reading that.

Then I’m gonna put a face mask on too just so i feel a bit more relaxed.

If i can’t sleep i may get started on my scrap book, i have only used 4 pages in it so far but really wanna make it something rather interesting to flip through when it’s finished.

What do you like doing on a Friday night?

Throwback Thursday: What was I wearing…mum what were you thinking?

By on • ( Leave a comment )

I am going to take you back to when I was young and carefree and it seems my mum was carefree too…apparently the clothes I wore was all the rage back then..ok mother I believe you.

I was about 4 and 6 here and to be fair i think i look alright. I have an absolute legend on board..Roland Rat. Still have him now.  These are the two most sensible pics out of all of the ones that I’m going to show you.

My tights matched my coat cuffs so i did have some style back then and i actually like the pink dress i have on too.

tbt-2

You know when you start to remember things? i must have been 5 as i remember the dodgy full fringe i had when i started school and every party i had out came the sailor dress. i bet mum got teary when it wouldn’t fit me anymore. The coat was out of a catalogue and looks like shell suit patterns…please don’t let that trend come back in once is enough.

The lucky thing about having a sibling is your parents don’t need to fork out too much you just get the older ones hand me downs that are usually too big however me and Craig loved the turtles so I didn’t complain on this occasion.

I have to take full responsibility for these two outfit choices. The pink chords were a fashion statement i wanted to be different and the tinsel tie and white shoes were for Christmas at my after school job. Both look absolutely  hideous but i didn’t think so at the time.

To End my throwback post today i thought I’d add a video in too {hand over face)
