Hello you lovely lot!

So this is going to be a short post because I am tired as anything but I need to put up something, I have finished for Christmas! My Dad is coming to pick me up tomorrow and I could not be more excited to go home!

I love my flatmates and I have had the best first term here but I definitely think I need some time back in Nottingham with my family and my friends and my dogs. I am so excited to be able to eat my dads food and not have to put up with oven chips or something.

I have so many plans for this holiday, I'm seeing my friends (mainly Natalie), obviously celebrating Christmas, celebrating my birthday very early and dying my hair! Next time I come back here I will look completely different and nearly be a different age! Scary stuff.

I promise to do a better post tomorrow but I forgot all about this until I got back from a night out!

Thanks For Reading!

Hello you lovely lot!

So, I am at home again! I've really enjoyed the past two weekends and I know I'm home a lot recently however this time I brought my flatmate Abbey home with me. It's so weird to think that Abbey has never even seen Nottingham before but I've seen it most days for the past 10 or so years!

I think she's really enjoyed her weekend here (at least I hope she did!). She met my friend Gemma who is ever so lovely, we went out for a nice burger, she helped me put up a Christmas Tree and we watched a nice film with my family. It's nice to be able to show people the place that I pretty much grew up in.

I don't finish for Christmas till next weekend so my Dad's coming to pick me up next Friday which I can't wait for! I am so excited to be able to spend more than 2/3 days at home. Also, when I return to Liverpool after Christmas, my hair will be a completely different colour (no spoilers soz).

That doesn't mean that next week isn't super busy. I have a 1500 word essay in for Friday, a friends birthday on Thursday and two secret Santas to sort of for Wednesday/Thursday! I am excited to have a lecture on Christmas from English and to have mince pies and mulled wine in the seminar (who says Liverpool Uni is better than Liverpool hope?!). The posts may be a bit lacking this week, I will still try and get them up however with it being so busy they may not be as exciting, although to be honest...wouldn't call them exciting anyway.

Coming home for Christmas also means I can see all my friends again. I bumped in to Chloe (if you read my blog regularly you'll know who Chloe is) in town today which was such a lovely surprise! I've planned both my birthday meals, one with Natalie and one with all my school friends. We don't need to talk about the fact that i'll be 19 do we?! Am I old?!

I'll also be able to have sleepovers with my friends Lizzie, Gemma and Puja again! I haven't seen Puja since I left and I've only seen Gemma three times and Lizzie twice. I used to see them at least every other week. I think it's been a kind of a shock to the system in a way. We are planning to have a sleepover with loads of rubbish food and Disney films when my parents leave for New Years so that'll be a long awaited reunion and a Christmas present bonanza I have no doubt.

Over the Christmas break I'm hoping my posts will get better because I wont really have anything else to do! I'm posting on Christmas day and then I'll probably take a break until New Years when I can make a post about seeing Natalie (i.e. the longest post ever!).

Hope you enjoyed that little catch up on my life!

Hello You Lovely Lot!

This is my bed which doesn't usually look like this, everything's normally all over my room. I have two very handy plugs above it. As you can see I bought my giant Stitch that was a present from my friends Gemma and Lizzie and I also have my teddy bear. They remind me of home and of my friends and family so much so I'm glad I have them with me. I also think I'm adding to the collection but I'm waiting till my parents bring me up so I don't have to take them on the train! You can also see I currently have Christmas bedding, because you can't not have festive bedding in December.


I also have a little 'Merry Christmas' sign above my bed because you know, when in December. I'm not too sure what I'm going to do with that hook once it's January, but I'll find something I'm sure.


Yes. I have a printer. Let me tell you, it is the handiest thing in the world! It's so easy when I need to print my notes off or train tickets! I would totally recommend bringing one to University, I would be lost without it. Stacked on top of it are my body sprays and my perfume and yes...I have an advent calendar. Christmas isn't right without it!

Hello you lovely lot!

I have made loads of purchases for University but yesterday I think I made my favourite one (thanks to Becca telling me where Home Sense was).

I bought a load of beautiful, inspirational posters!


 You might literally not care but I just wanted to share them with you all because they fit in so well with theme I'm going for (which by the way is floral, pastel and maybe a bit tumblr, how cliché).


So, these are the posters that I bought!


You & Me


Now, I don't think I'm going to put this one up because it doesn't really relate to my life, haven't got anyone special *cue the violins*. However, I do think it is still a nice addition to the pack and maybe I'll stick all my polaroids on it and put it up? Haven't decided yet!



Find Joy In The Journey



 I really love this one because even though I know that University is going to be hard and it is going to be a big leap for me, and there's going to be moments where I want to give up. I have to try and look on the positive side!


Wonderful




This is my personal favourite, maybe because it's pink? I don't think it really gives of a specific message other than it's very pretty to look at! I'm obsessed.



Travel Far, Dream Big




 I also love this one and I definitely think it has some meaning behind it! It also makes me think of Natalie who's off galavanting around the world! I want to be a teacher however I know that could change but whatever happens I don't want my dream to change because I've given up! Teacher doesn't seem like a very big dream but it's exactly what I want to do!



Love It



 I'm thinking about sticking this one on my door? I think it'll just be a lovely addition to my room and a nice thing to see when I walk out the room!



You Got This







Polka Dot Heart




Not sure where I'm gonna stick this one because clearly it doesn't really have a meaning, maybe another one for the door? Very pretty though!



XOXO




Another one without a meaning but I do think it is so beautiful! Maybe I'll put this one near a mirror or near where I put my makeup on? I can't say for certain until I get to see my room!



So those are what I bought! I think they'll really help my room feel all homely because I have stuff like this up in my anyway, I might decorate them with my fairy lights? As I said there's no telling till I get there! I think my walls are going to be crowded what with all the photos I've got! But I'm SO excited to move and put up a blog post about moving, Liverpool itself, first impressions and my room!


Thanks for reading!
