Room Makeover, again!

So I've been crazy and decorated my room AGAIN! This is the third time within one year that i have done it, it has been black/silver/plum, black/silver/white, and then pink/silver/white... I must be mad, although i must admit i do love it so much more now, its nice and fresh and natural... calm room; calm mind! I thought id just post a couple of pictures for you all... Some of the pictures are from when it wasn't completely finished so on the wall paper you may see bits over hanging at the top... they are not there no more as obviously i trimmed them off :)

I decided to go with the scheme colours cream/gold/magnolia/white ... Just for a little vintage look. My wallpaper is the same as my recent pink and silver one, just in cream and gold. £7.99 per roll, Wilkinsons.

 This little lantern is what i had from Matalan a while ago, so instead of buying new i decided to paint it magnolia :)

Here i have a white wicker heart, £3- Wilkinsons.

Opposite this you can see my black lantern; this had pink flowers so i also painted these magnolia!

This is my new light, a cream chandiller... i love it so much, the pictures don't do it justice at all. £7.99, B&M

 This was originally a bookcase, it was white so i painted it magnolia but left the shelves white. Then i used some of my left over wallpaper and put it along the back.

 Here you can see my light switch, its a bit of a bodge job but i just tried to be creative and use the wallpaper for the pattern effect. You can also see my white wall, and i painted the dado Magnolia.

And lastly this is the only pillow i have on my bed at the minute, sobs :( None of my other pillows now go, so i only have this one as i need to buy new, and also i need to buy new bedding! £4, Primark

It didn't cost me that much to change the colour scheme of my room, so it just shows that you don't have to spend a lot to get your room how you want it. I shall update you all when its properly finished :) xxxx

JLS Radio Tour... Stoke!!

Yes thats right, JLS actually came to Stoke-on-Trent today!! Its that time of year again where they have released their tour details... tickets have been brought, and so next up was their Radio Tour! I couldn't believe it when i saw on their website that they were actually coming to our local radio station, Signal One (102.6fm) ... They arrived at 3pm, & after being stuck at home i got whisked down to the radio station to go and see! We stood around for a little bit with the crowd singing 'She makes me wanna oh oh oh oh oh ohhhh' ... Such good fun!! Then at 4.30pm the boys came out the play and oh what a pretty sight it was :D I was soooo happy! I love JLS so much, and i don't care that I'm almost 23, they're my guilty pleasure, i love them & their music!

Anyway i did a lot of screaming at Marvin cause he's my fav, but he was too busy with signing hats and t shirts for fans, so I managed to get Aston to give me his autograph!! I got lots of pictures... so here are a few of them:

So there we have it!! My two fav boys!! Didn't manage to get pics of the other two unfortunately but I'm still smiling!! Cant wait till March 2012 now as I'm going to see them in Manchester for their new tour! Eeeeeks xxxxxxxxxx

#4 WanderingWednesday..

First of all i would like to apologise for not blogging since last week... From Thursday through to Saturday i was poorly and just did not feel up to it at all, but fear not i am back! :) I went back to work on Saturday, and i also worked Sunday. Sunday night came and i sat thinking about things, and once again i thought of crazy things... I decided i wanted to decorate my room, AGAIN! If you've seen my recent posts you will know i am always changing my room, and i love buying new things for it. Since last October (10) when my Dad passed away, i decorated my room black/silver/plum... I then decided this was to dark so i changed the plum to white... Then i decided it did not go, so i changed my black and silver to silver and pink, then obviously i hate white walls... Now i have gone a different way altogether & decided to make my room a lot more vintage! Im going to do a post on my room makeover, so I'm not going to go into too much detail about it in this post!
On Monday i went & got my wallpaper, and Monday night consisted of stripping the wallpaper that was up, & then pasting my new one on! On Tuesday i decided to do a bit of DIY, and saved myself a lot of money. Instead of buying new furnishings for my room to match the decor, i instead painted the ones i already had!
Today is Wednesday & I'm currently babysitting... Im not too sure how long for but i suspect it will be until tonight, so i haven't really got much planned... So i will defo be writing up my new room post for you all! Im very gutted to be honest today... For those of you that don't know, i am obsessed with JLS, and they are at our local radio station today at 3pm doing their radio tour, but i can't go with me baby sitting .... SUCKS!! The only thing keeping me happy is that i know i will be seeing them again in March for their actual tour :D ... This actually changed, i managed to see them!!! Eeeeks! I have lots of photo's, so il also do a post on that too :)
I don't really have any plans for tomorrow, I'm supposed to be seeing a friend i haven't seen for a while; but whether i will or not i do not know!
As for Friday I'm back to work, and I'm working all weekend once again... I really need to find myself a job that is Monday-Friday as i hate being off work whist everyone else is still at work!

Hoping you all have a good weekend!
With Love xxxx

MacBook Pro ... Heaven!

This is just a small post as I've finally got chance to show you a few pictures of my MacBook Pro that i had last month!
Im still getting used to it... i still don't know how to do certain things but i am slowly getting there!

This is my little piece of heaven! I love it so so much, and i would never ever go back to a normal laptop after using this. I don't have an iPhone so this MacBook Pro is the first thing I've actually had to experience how Apple works, and I'm just amazed; its so clever!


This is what i use for my blogging :) What do you use? xxxx

#3 WanderingWednesday..

So its that time already, Wednesday! Although i do feel like this week is going rather slow! Hi to my new followers, how lovely of you to join me <3
Anyway i think this post may be quite short as to be honest i haven't really done anything! Last weekend i had my hair cut (My new hair do is shown in the picture to the side, short i know!! I also blogged about changes here ) and i worked as you will know if you are keeping up with the Wandering Wednesday posts (You can find #1 here and #2 here... ) Monday and Tuesday have been quite difficult days for me this week as it was a year to the day on Monday and to the date on Tuesday since my lovely Dad passed away. Yesterday i took some beautiful flowers to the cemetery, and at night i lit a lantern and sent it up in to the air in memory of him! Following this at about 10pm once my mum had got in to bed i was on a mission. Its her birthday today, she's 65 bless her! So i thought while she was in bed last night i would surprise her... I covered the living room in happy birthday banners and blew up so many balloons and dotted them around! Then i did the same in the kitchen, and put a nice happy birthday table cloth onto the table, and put her birthday cake and candles, and some personalised gingerbread men in the middle! Then off to bed i went, and i woke up real early this morning to go down stairs to see what she thought and she loved it! Mission make mum smile, complete! Il pop a few pictures of it at the bottom of this post when i get chance. Then this morning i had to go and collect her bouquet of flowers that i had ordered last week and they were so so pretty, she loved these also, along with the other presents i brought her! Tonight i am taking her out for her tea :)
As you can see from this the first half of my week has been very family orientated! But tomorrow back to work i go, and il be at work until Sunday afternoon! So in terms of any events or will i be doing anything good, no i won't unfortunately!

There we have it, my week and weekend ahead in a tiny paragraph :) Sorry its only small its just I'm in quite a rush today but i didn't want to not post this as obviously Wednesday is my regular post day. Hope your all well...

With Love xxxx
