July

By Gem - 23:19:00
I feel like I have really made the most of my time off this summer. I have been away every weekend in July and spent a lot of time with friends and exploring new places. I took my brother to see Ke$ha for his birthday, had a Welsh librarian meet up, went to the Birmingham Blogger Meet Up and went to a beautiful...

Apply Some Pressure

By Gem - 20:21:00
I've been back at the university working this week even though I have the summer off, only covering a few afternoon shifts but this means I can't lounge around in my pj's with the dog, boohoo! I still only have about ten dresses to chose from because everything is still at my nans while we do work on the house, it's starting to...

Birmingham Blogger Meet Up - Part 2

By Gem - 18:15:00
As promised here are my photos from Part 2 of the Birmingham Bloggers Meet Up. After a wonderful day of shopping and a lovely meal those who were staying for the night headed back to the hotel to get ready (after stopping off at Tesco to buy cheap wine). I didn't have the usual dilemma of worrying about what to wear out because...

Birmingham Blogger Meet Up - Part 1

By Gem - 19:57:00
I've just come back from the most amazing weekend in Birmingham. Claire  and Fritha organised a fantastic meet up, they must have worked really hard booking everything and co-ordinating so many people, thank you ladies! I got the National Express from Cardiff to Birmingham yesterday morning and arrived at 1pm, a little flustered and ready to shop! I had my first experience of...

Hydrangea

By Gem - 15:58:00
It's been a pretty dull week for me, I've been working a few days a week in my summer job in public libraries and looking after the dog whilst my brother does all the hard work on the house. I've been watching all the old Harry Potter movies ready for the final film tomorrow. Did anyone else watch the premiere and get really...

Birmingham trip- Ke$ha and LMFAO

By Gem - 11:52:00
I went to Birmingham for the first time this weekend and I loved it! I took my brother to see Ke$ha and LMFAO for his birthday. I thought a nice trip away from the construction site that is my home would be much better than buying him a CD or a new shirt. I got a bargain hotel (Ibis, £35) which was right...
