good morning

i'm about to start some work for uni, but thought i'd share a couple of things with you first.

so, i'm having to stop my spending soon as i'm moving in with my boyfriend properly, and that comes with all the joys of rent, bills, blah, blah, blah. i'm not sure i'm ready to be a grown up, but i am really excited for all the rest of the things that come with living together.

anyway, prior to tightening the belt, i've had a bit of a splurge on clothes which i'm going to share with you.

p.s, sorry for the generic pictures, my camera battery is dead and it takes 4567654345 hours to charge.

i'll take pictures of the rest of it when i have my camera sorted. let me know if you're interested in seeing that.

see you soon,

getting to know you.

so, being new, i figured i'd help you get to know me a little better by showing you a few of my favourite things from my room.

this is just a little box tower i have created in my bay window. there's nothing in these boxes yet as i only bought them a little over a week ago. they vary in price from approximately two to six pounds and so are really affordable and are still available in tkmaxx. my favourite is the queen box as it's really quirky and is perfect given the jubilee which has just gone and the olympics which are currently being hosted here in the uk.

this bird cage was a birthday gift over a year ago now, and i believe it was purchased from center parcs. it has a very shabby chic feel about it and it is stuffed with little critters that my boyfriend and i have made together. it sits in my window and i think it's just a really beautifull object to have.



this lovely little box was picked up from a carboot sale for one pound fifty. i don't like to open it because the inside smells funny but nevertheless it's nice to look at.



another little carboot find; fifty pence this time. its hand painted, like the other box and so they both truly are one of a kind. it holds buttons at the minute and i love it being part of my room.





my boyfriend bought me this adorable payphone for my birthday, and it actually works! not as a payphone, you have to plug it in but it makes the funniest noised when dialing, and it doubles up as a money box too, which means i can put a few pennies in here and there and hopefully will open it up one day to a nice surprise.



i treated myself to this little fella', he cost just short of twenty pounds but he's totally worth it. i wish i had more doors in my room because there was a tortoise one that i really wanted to buy too. it kinda sucked leaving him behind, poor little guy.

i saw him a couple of years back in debenhams and knew he had to be called morris and live in my house, so here he is, amoungst other clutter. he's a cookie jar but i don't like getting crumbs in him so he gets other stuff plonked in his belly instead.

i bought a load of these a while ago but i think this is my favourite. they just sit on my drawer handles. you can buy them here.

so thanks for having a look at some of my stuff, if you're interested in a more extensive room tour in pictures, let me know. i'll have to do a tidy up first mind.

which object do you like best? have you got anything similar? let me know.

until next time, byeeeeeee.

hello and welcome to this new chapter in my life i guess.

my name is laura, i'm nineteen and practically married.

i've been thinking about starting a blog for a little while now but was always put off by how perfect everybody seems, which i find a bit intimidating.

i couldn't be more opposite; my roots are about four inches long, i bite my nails and generally i can't stand wearing makeup. oh and i have no money, which seems a rare thing on here. basically, my life is just messy, along with my room, which i really must tidy.

then this morning, i finally got the kick up the bum i needed; jess from new girl. no, she didn't physically kick me, but she's wacky and her life is cluttered, yet i don't think i've every found anybody so cool in my life.

so i've realised that no matter how uncool you are, someone's gonna get it. afterall, i do have a long term boyfriend and he's sticking around for some reason, right?

so thanks zooey deshanel, for playing a loser in all you ventures i guess.

as i'm new, i thought i'd share a few things with you;

i'm a law student.

i like fried rice.

i have two cats, and a whole bunch of fish and water snails.

i'm pretty impulsive when buying hime furnishings.

i love garden centres.

albeit, not as much as my other half.

in fact, i don't love anything as much as him actually.

i don't like capital letters.

or the letter 'z'.

writing the word 'zooey' has almost killed me because there's no avoiding that bad boy.

i want a ferret, called marmaduke. a white one.

i think that's everything, i'm pretty dull really.

i hope to speak to some of you soon.
