My Bestie's in the North Westie

Had a bit of a rubbish couple of days and I'd just like to thank two of my favourite people for cheering me up and spending many hours on the phone to me. Love you Karla and Fay!

Beautiful!

Monday Unfunday!

Boooo it's Monday. Which means no day off or lie in until Friday :( I had a great weekend (apart from feeling like I was going to die of alcohol poisoning all day yesterday and having barely any sleep after doing a 10 hour day on Saturday.) But Dr Williams made me feel better with Ribena and pasta. I'm back in Hereford now and looking forward to the next couple of weeks as I've got some nice things planned with my sister as well as SAVING FOR NYC! Yay!

My favourites to win this year. (Obviously.)

Tuesday Schmoozeday

Well after another day just flying by at work, I'm tucked up in bed (yes, at half past nine!) All these ten hour days are knackering me out but I guess it's what being management is all about! I'm still ill with a disgusting cough - eugh, but I got to wear my new treats today which cheered me up immensely! After deciding to try the Nars foundation back in May, I've decided their whole range (although more expensive than what I would usually care to spend) is definitely better for my skin type. As you know I've struggled for months trying to find a foundation which will blend into my super pale skin without making that horrible orange line you see many girls sporting nowadays, the Nars Sheer Matte foundation (£29.50) is an exact match to my skin colour - they even do a paler one than that which I didn't think would be humanly possible! So as it was payday last week I decided to treat myself to another bottle of the foundation (because mine ran out on my birthday) as well as the powder foundation (£31) and a new blusher called 'Sex Appeal' (£21.) My blush had also run out that week so I decided to treat myself as my Mum has a Nars blush and it's amazing (although hers is a little too dark for my skin tone, so I opted for the pale pink one.) And I must say, it's lasted all day and blends really well! No hideous orange lines for me! So even though I felt rubbish and tired at work, at least you couldn't see because my lovely new make up made me look flawless, haha!

I did it!

Well it only took me 13 months but I finally got back on! After much internet research and a  few phone calls with the owners I have found a perfect riding school with lots of lovely, suitable, gentle horses to ease me back into riding and getting my confidence back. This is the lovely Penny, I was a bit nervous at first because she is HUGE and it was a long way down from where I was sitting, but she was very slow and placid (just what I needed.) Its always better to have a slow horse you can push on than a fast horse you can't slow down (I've learnt that the hard way, ha!) However now I've been assessed and got a bit of my confidence back, I've been assigned 'Mally' as my next horse in 2 weeks time. I can't wait!

Let Them Eat Birthday Cake!

Well it's been a funny old week! My birthday on Thursday was lovely despite having to work all day, I had a great day off yesterday starting with birthday cake for breakfast and a leisurely afternoon reading my book in Starbucks for an hour then when my sister finished work we had a little look round town and I bought a new purse from Topshop and a new top to wear to Alan Carr in Birmingham tomorrow! Unfortunately now I'm really ill with a rubbish cough but I managed 5 hours at work today before being sent home. Im feeling lots better tonight though after taking loads of cough medicine. I've got my first riding lesson tomorrow since my accident. Eeeek! My Dad's coming with me for moral support and he's going to take a few photos as proof so I'll blog them tomorrow. Anyway, here's a picture of my puppy cupcakes, or 'pupcakes' as I like to call them! :)
