Whitchurch Charity Shop Finds

By Gem - 18:30:00
I haven't had time to bargain hunt in charity shops for a while since I started working 6 days a week but I had a whole week off for Easter and I took the chance to have a little snoop around the shops in Whitchurch. I was looking for things to furnish my room with when I move in to my new house...

'Peacocks by Design' dress

By Gem - 21:31:00
Hello! I had a bit of a break over the Easter period from work and technology and I loved it! It's nice to get away from it all sometimes and I feel thorougly relaxed. I only work term time in the uni library so I will be working in the public libraries this week which I haven't done for ages. I can't wait...

Day-dreaming of One of the Pillars of Hercules

By Gem - 20:46:00
As you might be able to tell, I really quite like travelling when I can. Though the next year is looking to be a busy one, I have had the chance to daydream a bit. With so many great places to visit across Europe alone, at least there is no shortage of possible stops! And one of the pillars of Hercules might just be...

Day Off Casual

By Gem - 22:55:00
I am NOT wearing a dress! I don't always wear floral dresses, and here's proof. I had a day off today and I had a lovely day in the Garden hanging out with my family. I don't get much chance to relax so when I have a day off I like to wear something comfy and go light on the make up.  I've got five days off...

Spring Florals

By Gem - 09:54:00
The weather is still lovely in south Wales so I decided to wear some lovely bright florals to work yesterday. I felt a little over dressed but most of my clothes are black and they aren't really appropriate for this time of year. I don't wear many short cardis but now I've lost 21 lbs I'm feeling a little more confident and I...

Home Sweet Home

By Gem - 13:36:00
I've already mentioned that I sold my lovely house but this week me and my Mam found a new one. We had to give my dad half of the money from the sale of the house so we weren't left with much money to buy a new one. I have lived in this house since I was 11 years old and have a lot...

Topshop Make Up

By Gem - 15:01:00
I don't really shop in Topshop, I think I've only been in there twice since I stopped working there. The clothes don't fit me and the prices are crazy, since when was £60 for a dress normal? The staff are on minimum wage and the owner doesn't pay his taxes so the prices seem a little extortionate to me... I had read good...

Criminal

By Gem - 18:44:00
I'm continuing with Britney songs as titles, the album isn't as good as Blackout but I still lover her. This is what I wore to the Islwyn Labour Youth social on Sunday. It's a bit dressed up for the pub but I wore it with a cardi and I want to wear all my nice dresses before they get too big :) Is...

Keep on dancing 'till the world ends

By Gem - 18:04:00
It's been a bit of a rubbish week for me. My parents are divorced and the house has been up for sale for a while and it has finally sold. I've lived here since I was 11 and I'm not looking forward to moving. We have about 8 weeks to find somewhere new to live and move in, scary stuff! I've spent a...
