Day 28 (Favourite places to shop)

Oh dear! I guess this is a good one for me to do because I'm a bit of a shop-a-holic.... So I'll do a short list of my favourite places in no particular order:
  1. Ben's Cookies - Not really shopping but I can never walk past and not buy a cookie!
  2. FashionUnion.com - its a clothes website and just really cheap with quite decent stuff!!
  3. HMV - Cheap DVDs :D 
  4. Argos - I like to make my room look nice :)
  5. Co-Op - Fooood! Near me... And recently they've been doing Lindt for £1 so why not?!!!
Top Shop and New Look and such too for clothes... but generally when I go out I tend to browse various shops and go wherever!! Wooo!

Day 27 (A talent of yours)

I am one of those people with many talents... Useless talents that is. Such as the talent of always saying the wrong thing, or making people laugh when I don't mean to! 


But to be a little less modest I'm going to say that my talent that I am most proud of is my capability to play the saxophone! I've been playing for nearly 8 years now and although I'm perhaps not as advanced as someone should be after all that time I can bang out a tune if I want to! I love playing in bands and orchestra's, especially the Rock and Jazz Orchestra in Seaford! I am determined to one day get my grade 8 on the saxophone, when I have the time and resources! 
So yes, that is my talent... and here is a photograph of my very very sexy saxophone just to prove it!

Day 26 (Favourite Books)

Books book books! I love books! And I definitely have my favourites so I'll give you a quick breakdown here (in no particular order):




The ForestWife is a beautiful adaptation of the story of Robin Hood. Its a realistic perspective into the life of the women of the story (such as Maid Marion) and although based towards younger audiences I could read this book over and over again. 




My A-level English teacher recommended I read this book and I actually ended up writing my final essay on it. Its a wonderful story about a young girl living in Nazi Germany who late in life learns to read and then can't get enough of it! Its narrated by Death with an insightful view of what it was like to live in Nazi Germany at the time. I really recommend anyone to read this wonderful book. 




I love Little Women! Its just a beautiful book. 




I'm sure I don't need to put a description of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy on here, but I love these books. To create such an imaginative and full world is just incredible to me. 




Again, Harry Potter needs no description... but I've grown up with these books and have always indulged myself in the wonderful world of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 


A few more books I at least feel the need to mention:

  • Pride and Prejudice
  • The Hobbit
  • The Abhorsen Trilogy
  • The Time Travellers Wife
  • Jane Eyre
  • Pirates!
So yeah, I love books! I'd recommend reading any of these because they are great :)

Day 25 (A letter to someone you judged by first impression)

Dear you,

When I first saw you I have to admit that I judged you. I thought you were a chav and would be difficult to get along with... 

But this impression changed really quickly; turns out you are a very intelligent and lovely person and I feel terrible for my first judgements. I try not to judge people before I get to know them, and I'm sorry for this...

Day 23 (Share one of your favourite current tunes)

Hmmmm!! This isn't so easy, but I've chosen a song which perhaps isn't so current... but I just love it and its been my ringtone for a long time now! Great tune to have a boogie to.
