Pretty Little Liars.

Hello. So as I'm sure everyone is aware, Tuesday night there were 3 hours that concluded one of my favourite shows. (Just read the title) and leading up to this moment I have been nervous. Because when you become so indulged in something when it comes to an end  it's good because you get the answers you spent the whole time looking for, but you are then left with a void. For me I'll miss the debate with my friends over who we think it was and the evidence behind that, because now it's just like oh. Nevertheless, I loved this series, and consumed myself the past year or so watching all the seasons, because I'm sorry I was a late bloomer. So here are my thoughts and somewhat review of the series so if you have not seen it yet and do not want spoilers I suggest you look away now.

WARNING: This post may contain spoilers!

Now my theory, which never came with any concrete evidence, it was purely for the Gasp Factor. Because PLL was all about those gasps. I believed it would be Hanna, I wanted it so badly to be Hanna, because she went through so much shit, it would be like why would you do that to yourself, and then it's like so I don't become a suspect. And to be honest I would have taken anyone over who it actually was. Because to me adding a secret twin who we had never seen before (well never thought we had seen before) is to me a bit of a cop out. Like I want some long explanation as to why one of the characters we have been watching the past 7 seasons has been playing the game. So I feel a bit cheated, and I am disappointed that there was the cliche who's the real Spencer. Plus the build up to the reveal was a bit boring, and I'm not pleased with the tease reminder to the basement but no actual details.

I love Mona though. Confused about what the hell is going on with her, but I think it works. And I am happy with how it was all ending. I squealed at Hanna and Caleb getting married, and then with Allison proposing to Emily and you do get to experience some natural life after the game, because I do enjoy knowing what happens after. But I feel that with the episode it was just a filler.

It's weird because I feel like some aspects of the show were so cleverly thought out, well at least peoples evidence the compile made it look that way, and then they just have these moments. I don't know why I am trying to explain my feelings because I don't think I can. This show has given my many complicated feelings. Mainly rage, because if they were just honest and not bitches in the first fucking place they wouldn't be in this mess, but then I guess there wouldn't be a series.

To conclude, I love the series still, and I would watch it all again in years to come, but it did leave me with a feeling of. Oh...that's it. And I am disappointed. But maybe that is just me building to high an expectation. Maybe that is the problem nowadays. We all expect the crazy, wow moments and it just cannot be lived up to. Therefore I am not going to hate on the series for ending in this way because I've spent so much time loving other moments.

So watch the series Bitches!
I'll see you when I see you!

My Very First Wedding!

 No it was not me getting married! Just thought I would throw that out there first. It was a wedding of a friend from work, and I was so excited and grateful that she invited me to share such a special day. And as you can  tell from the title I had never been to a wedding before. Therefore, naturally I was a little bit nervous. What is best to wear? What do I do with the gift? How does everything work? I had no idea.

So first was the battle of a dress to wear. I literally looked in all shops in the city with my sister and came up with very little. She became obsessed with this dress from LadyB Loves. And I really did like it, but part of me screamed that it wasn't quite right for the wedding. But my only other option was a dress I had previously gotten offline, which I thought was too dark for the occasion (however someone at the wedding wore black anyway so I felt better) but after asking my much trusted friends we decided on my Rotita dress.

Next issue: shoes.

Now if you know me well enough, you know my shoe of choice is a Dr Martin. But they aren't really suited for a wedding, or sadly go with my dress of choice. Then I'd go converse, which again bit too casual. And I thought the same about my creepers. After searching the city I could find any heal or sandal that went with the dress or screamed "You'd look great". So I settled with a pair of shiny black pumps.  Then when I got to the wedding I saw a girl wearing trainers and was instantly annoyed.

So the day of the wedding arrived and I freshly dyed and cut my hair, I put on a little make-up and made my way to the venue. Instantly realising I needed to find someone I knew quickly or I'd start panicking. Luckily as I walked in my other work colleagues were then walking towards me and we all went to take our seats. The ceremony was a lot smaller than I visioned, but I guess all weddings are different. And it was adorable. We all stood as Gemma walked down the aisle (in tears bless her) looking absolutely stunning, and they gave their vows (a little bit muddled but that's exactly her) and we ventured into the marquee and got a drink, and then went into the garden area because it was far too hot. There was a particular anti-social area that my work group (and partners) claimed as our own. And we just chatted and laughed. Then some photos were taken and we had food. Which was better than I thought but I'd still prefer a spoons meal or something. And then there were speeches which were funny, and more general chatter, and a little bit of dancing.

I had such a great time and am honoured to have been a guest. It was just weird because everyone in my group is either married, engaged or committed enough to consider it and it just makes you think about when it will happen for you.  Which I think made Matt feel pretty awkward. Any who... I had such a wonderful time and cannot wait for the next wedding I get to celebrate. They're such happy times!

See you when I see you!

London + Harry Potter Studios!

Hello. So in my previous post I talked about things I am looking forward to. One of which being my trip to London with my sister, in which we are visiting the Harry Potter Studios.  Woo!

My day didn't start off that swiftly. I was incredibly tired and couldn't find half the things I wanted to pack. But I still made it to the bus stop on time. Only problem being that the bus didn't actually turn up. All was well though because I got a lift to the train station. I met with Hal and we got our tickets, and some much needed food. Then walked all the way down the platform to the carriage, and were forced to awkwardly sit opposite two strangers.

 

 Then after lots of trying to stay entertained, we arrived in Londinion. First we just found a Costa and made a plan to go to Oxford Street and shop. But not being so good with understanding tube maps. We ended up at Green Park trying to locate Buckingham Palace. So all the cool pictures I managed to get made it worth it. Plus Hariette presented me with a Selfie Stick. I had lots of fun.
Then we thought we should head to Watford and get ready for the studio tour. So we hunted for a McDonald's to get a quick bite to eat and panicked to the tour bus. And then there was a tonne of waiting. And waiting and waiting. And alas the tour began. And I'm not going to post too much because I don't want to spoil it for people who are thinking about going. But I loved the great hall, the forbidden forest (although slightly terrifying) and Hogwarts itself. I got to ride a broomstick, and look fabulous doing so. And witness some awesome animatronics to show how they brought the films to life. Baby Voldemort was my favourite. And I spent a ridiculous amount of money buying a replica of Fred Wesley's wand and a Ravenclaw robe. But I looks so damn cute!

 Then after being there for 4 hours, we headed to a nandos, are got to our hotel and slept. I then had the worst cold of a lifetime, and Hal was all get ready get ready. And we headed out to explore Watford. Going into their version of Chapelfield there's being ultimately more awesome because there was just a random train driving through it. Then we got some food at the local spoons. Where they sold pizza!

It was when we were at spoons however, we realised our whole afternoon of shopping in Camden and Oxford Street would be cut short, as we thought our 14.30 train home was a 4.30 train home. You can see how me made this error. So we panic walked to the overground so we could panic get to M&M world and Disney store then panic back to Liverpool Street to get the train all in like 2 hours. Surprisingly we managed this. And even though I ache and money has oozed out of my bank account. I had a fabulous time.

So thank you to my wonderful sister for suggesting we have this little trip together. And to me for reminding her that she said we would go after she said she'd booked tickets when she actually hadn't.

Hope you enjoyed this post and a fair few of the pictures I took. See you when I see you!

Positive Thinking.

As I haven't been in the greatest frame of mind in the past month I thought I'd spend my time focusing on the exciting things coming up in my life. Because I thrive on having something to look forward to. Whether it is in years to come or just around the corner. Goals are important to me. But making sure they are attainable is more so. Still there are a few events coming up that I am super excited for mainly because they are firsts for me.

To start with, my wonderful sister is taking me to go see the Harry Potter Studios! I've been to London before so that isn't as new and exciting. Well I guess it's my first time with Hal. But I am excited to go see Hogwarts and the forbidden forest. And I will spend lots of money. But since I physically can't move out anytime soon I shall spend it while I can.

Then on the 16th I am attending a wedding. Which I am worried about because I have no idea what goes on at a wedding and my only comfort are work friends. Who I still get worried that if they hang out with me too much realise I am weird. But I'm not going to let that stop me. Weddings seem like so much fun and I am honoured I'm being asked to share this day. I've battled to decide on a dress but I think I've found one and now I just have to worry about shoes. I'm stressing a little about getting my hair cut in time but that's not too bad an issue I guess. And I'm going to dye my hair for the ocassion.

Which is another thing I am excited for because I am going back to red. I usually go for a purple and it fades to a reddish brown pretty quickly. So I looked back at old photos and reminisced aboutique the beautiful red hair I used to have. Hopefully it doesn't go badly. 

Another thing I pray will not go badly is my holiday in July. I booked all the hotels and we have a brief plan of action and I could not be more excited to spend a week away with Matthew. I get to see Dolphins! And pandas. But to be honest if I don't I'm not too fussed because I'll have Matt with me and he makes me happy enough without even trying. I think I'm just worried that he won't have a good time more than anything. 

So those are a few things for now. But I need to find some more before they come and go. Because if not I fear I'll end back where I started. But if you evereally feel stressed or down, focus on those positive exciting things! It's definitely what I am going to keep doing. 

See you when I see you!

The Good Weekend

Hello. So following the somewhat negative posts of recent weeks I thought it would be good to take about my relatively good weekend.

I started it off hanging out with the guy who can make me smile without doing anything. Then Saturday evening was devoted to a small meal for my work friend who is getting married in a couple of weeks. Which was interesting as I've hung out at my colleagues houses before but we have never been out. I was a little nervous because I'm worried that people don't get on with me when they get to know me but I had a great time. Starting it off in spoons and there was a comment on the fact I was actually wearing a dress, then there was more comments on how quickly I can drink a sex on the beach.  And it was nice. We then went for a meal at Coast to Coast where I had some more cocktails. But I ate some yummy food too. And I had a lot of fun. 

Sunday was more of a chill day which I was not slightly hung over for... and I went to see my grandparents which was nice and we went for a meal and then looked around my dad's new favourite store. After all this my sister and I just chilled watching TV and playing sims.

To top off this much needed weekend was a bank holiday! Thank God I don't work back holidays. And some friends and I went to the Brickmakers charity event. We had a little catch up, spread some gossip, danced to Amy's boyfriend's band's music and then waited and waited and waited to go on a bouncy castle.  Which was fun enough in itself. I got to wear a funky hat. And I fell over.  So much fun.

To conclude I had a simply great weekend and I would like to thank everyone who helped make it that way. Because recently I really need times like this to look forward to.
See you when I see you!
