15 Steps

I have decided to turn my life around this year. Well, I say that every year but, this year is going to be different. Here is what I am going to do to make me into a better person.

1. Don't say 'fabulous' as often. It makes me sound repetitive and uninspired.
2. Make sure my lips don't spread over my teeth when I smile. It makes me look like I have had botox or I am wearing too much lippy.
3. Do more productive activities on week nights. For example, not looking on bebo profiles of people I don't know and watching Friends re-runs on E4. I have seen them all before.
4. Do more productive things on week ends. Like not going to see films I have already seen three times and walking around All Saints for half an hour. I can't afford it!
5. Spend my money on better things. Like intelligent novels or school books or classical music. Not endless copies of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.
6. Save my money better so I don't have another incident of running out of credit in Starbucks.
7. Only go to Starbucks no more than twice a month. It's too expensive and not good for my figure.
8. Work out at least four times a week for at least half an hour each time so I can go back to my old dress size.
9. Eat more healthily by eating less salsa on my wrap at lunch and not going to Starbucks. For the same reasons as above.
10. Persuade my mum to get a French tutor so I have a chance at passing my exam. My French teacher sucks so badly.
11. Don't get addicted to Internet browsing and shopping. It will make my chances of debt in later life a lot more likely.
12. Stop the Primark addiction now. Quality of clothes in my wardrobe is essential.
13. Get a new wardrobe. How am I supposed to put everything I wear in two shelves and one rail?
14. Be friendlier to people I talk to face to face. It is not J R's fault if she wants to have brown hair and ginger eyebrows.
15. Prove to my chemistry crush that I am clever, mature and sophisticated. And that I understand the rules of rugby. Well, that might be pushing it a little!

New Years Eve Celebrations

Well, it's official. 2009 is here! Last night I was at my parent's friends house where there was like fifty people crammed into one room for the countdown. We were the last to leave and we got home at 3:30. I woke up this morning with my hair sticking up and a fuzzy brain as I tried to remember what happened last night. I think I had one too many glasses of Baileys!

And Whatever Lies Ahead

• Exams at school. Exams for keyboard. Exams for oboe. Exams for dancing. Exams for drama. Why do I bother?
• The return of Robin Hood to BBC1 for all us Brits. Jonas Armstrong!
• The extension to my shopping centre being opened and a whole new centre being opened as well. It will have Zara and Mango!
• Having to play in the huge theatre for my concert band, twice. I'm not nervous...
• Confessions of a Shopoholic, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and New Moon coming out in cinemas. Excited or what?

And if you can suggest anymore, I guess I have a fabulous year ahead of me! Well, that's number 1 broken already! =)

If I haven't said it already to you, Happy New Year and have a fabu....amazing year! All the best for '09!

'15 Steps' is a song by Radiohead from their alum 'In Rainbows'. It is featured in the Twilight movie and plays in the credits. Watch the rather rubbish video here.

Into the Sales

Yesterday I set out on what will probably be the first of many shopping trips that focus mainly on the January sales. I wore this.







H&M Cardi, Topshop T-shirt, Primark Skirt, M&S tights.

I didn't end up buying very much. I got these shoes from Faith which were down from £25 to £15 so I was very pleased. They take a long time to get on and they leave marks on the top of my feet all night if I do up the straps to tightly.







I bought a card from All Saints which I have has my eye on for a while. I am not sending it to anyone though, I am just putting it on my wall =)







And, is it just me, or is my hair getting curlier?

I know I said that the last post I did was my last post of the year but it turns out I am not going away again until the New Year so I find myself insanely bored and needing to let some of my thoughts out.

And I got an award from the fabulous Demi, have a look at her blog here.

She said I was "The loveliest, funniest, sweetest girl ever. She has such a good sense of humour and has treated me like a friend ever since she started visiting here - and I am so grateful. She just seems to be nice to everyone and always leaves the sweetest comments!"

I am so touched! Thank you ever so much, I am so grateful for my first award. I have to pass it onto eight people but I still haven't decided who, as you are all so fabulous! I will do a post in the New year on that. Anyway, what are you all doing for New Year and did you have a fabulous Christmas? See you soon xxx

Final Act.

I went to H I's house yesterday. Everyone hid from my camera and then we ate home made yule log.

My camera was in a weird mood and wouldn't take a picture of my whole outfit so i did it in two parts.

T shirt: New Look

Vest (underneath): George at Asda

Skirt: Primark

Tights: Primark

Socks: River Island

Just to show how festive I am

I got doodling last night and produced this so I thought I would just show you!

Well, this is my last post of 2008. Thank you so much for the last two moths of inspiration and feedback you have given me. Enjoy your holidays and come back well rested and fed! I hope to hear from you in the New Year, 2009 people! Love you all so much xxx
