Mr Staggy

Hurrah Mr Staggy is purchased and assembled and ready for placing on the wall....unfortunatly i have absoloutly no idea how to stick him onto it though :S (there's me holding him up againt my green wall)


















I got him for half price in the Urban Outfitters sale and made my boyfriend carry the awkward A3 packaging home with me and the cute thing is that he comes with 2 mini staggy bookmarks!!!! love it :D




Reading

Even though I studied English Literature for A level there was never much time for reading, so now i'm making up for lost time by reading as much as I can in my holiday (rather than vegetating in frontof the tv which normally makes up the majority of my holidays)

So a trip to the library got me these:










and shopping and London got me these:

Purchases

Oh I forgot to show what i purchased the other day :

Tiny jacket/cardi from H&M - think ive seen it on Vintage Darling too but i couldnt resist. I put some old "vintage" / found badges on it too...

















This was supposed to be for my prom to match my bird headband (from Paraphernalia at bigcartel) but unfortunatly it came 2 weeks too late (partially my own fault) but i'm sure i will have much use for it generaly:

Gymness

My gym membership started on sunday and so ive been going in the last few days (much to the dismay of my 1 year of no exercise paralysed muscles) and got hijacked by one of the personal trainers as I was probably about 20 years younger than anybody else there at the time who made me run (noooo!!) for a long time (noooooooo!) but then you feel compelled to as hes watching and judging - but then we did some boxing, which was actually raaather fun, well as fun as exercise gets...

But now my poor poor muscles
Yesterday was worse though.... urgh the "legs bums and tums" class is pure sadism! my breasts felt like they had whiplash and the teacher threatened to hit us with canes if our arses stuck up :S


After about 3 hours there i treated myself to a lovely afternoon watching taggart ("theres been a MUR-DURRRR!") and Sophia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette' - I can never watch past the bit when it gets sad and everyone wants her dead - which made me want to listen to Bow Wow Wow...
I really want this cardboard raindeer head from Urban Outfitters - I predict this is what it would look like in my room....check my toothie love and spongebob love and kitten lamps hahahhaha!

Exams are overrrr

After about 7 hours of not really having anything to do, even though i am simultaniously reading The Observer in its complete entirety, producing cd covers, blogging and cooking for my parents, I am officially bored! oh dear...

Exams finished on thursday and so finally i managed to throw away (recycle and reuse to be exact :P) about a ton of paper and books that had been clogging up drawers and boxes, leaving me with an official 'hat drawer' and 'necklace drawer' and plenty of deliciously empty space ready to be filled with new shiny junk!

I only had about 4 exams in total (excluding art) and I think they went reasonably well and actually half enjoyed doing a few, something i probably shouldnt admit but we do so many essays it's almost natural.

Also means i've managed to catch up with the unwatched class of 08 (a new obsession! im going to be gutted when it ends - go daisy and will! Im really upset if she's actually 'seeing' mark ronson now - plus flash louis!)

I went shopping with my mum yesterday, bought some more thing which i will photograph tomorrow, as well as things from my boyfriends birthday party the week before...
