As well as my university place being accepted, I have also heard that my student finance is now in place. The only thing left to do now is tell my boss I would like part-time hours from September. Ha! So easy to say but nerve-racking nonetheless. I have to work, unfortunately, but it’s true. I […]
Well that went really well! After half an hour of summing me up and checking out my previous assignment scores, the nice lady at the university offered me a place on the degree course this September! Can’t quite believe it! I still have to submit my ucas application through the usual channels but my place […]

Last weekend was the 1940’s event at Churnet Valley and unfortunately I was unable to attend. I have been thinking a lot about last years event so I thought I would re-blog this post. I love vintage, especially the 1940’s era. The hair, the clothes, the music all make up a little bit of a passion for me! […]
A friend of mine recently went on a blind date. This was arranged by her work colleague and the chap in question was her brother-in-law.
