This week, I have been baking lots of yummy food including some rather scrummy Malteaser cupcakes and my old favourites; sultana, cherry, almond and Amaretto cupcakes! I swear there is nothing better than the smell of cake when you're hungry! :)
Lisa's card! Mark made some cards for Lisa and Danni's birthdays, I wish I was half as artistic! |
Danni's card! |
I finally received my post which our local depot seems to have been hoarding! There were so many parcels which they had there which they hadn't delivered or even left a slip for, needless to say, I was excited to receive my giveaway winnings from the gorgeous Laura! :D
Unfortunately, this week has also been full of dissertation work....
....some more interesting than others! For the final chapter of my dissertation, I am looking at films that parody the ancient world and the 'epic tradition' meaning that 'Carry on Cleo' and 'The Life of Brian' are compulsory viewing...
I finally saw the latest Harry Potter film, normally I go with my brother but this time the release just seemed to have passed me by, luckily Warwick Student Cinema has really good film schedules, I am already excited about next terms!
I went to a jumble sale this weekend and picked myself up a few bargains, I think this little lot (along with another couple of books and mugs) came to under £2!
When we bought this the other day (from H&M nonetheless!) I thought it was a dinosaur because of his little arms but other people think it's a squirrel because of the tail, what do you guys think? It actually has a reusable shopper bag inside but we bought it for it's cute factor :)
A little reminder of why I love Mark, who could refuse dark chocolate digestives after a long day of lectures? :D
What have you done this week? Do you have deadlines looming?
P.S. Thank you for all of your thoughts on my last post! I think I am going to have it shortened slightly and then I will definitely wear it more :)

I love jumble sales though there doesn't seem to be any around my area - and I'm going to have to go with dinosaur. It might be the colour that's swayed me but when I saw it my mind immediately jumped to dinosaur!
So good you finally saw Harry Potter! Ha, those cards are so gorgeous <3
Ps: What are digestives? I see them on lots of blogs!

Well, isn't Mark a sweetie leaving you biscuits like that?! To me, little gestures are the true definition of love! x
Bethany- This is the only one I have EVER seen advertised where I live and I always try to go, I figure I'm supporting the local community and getting some bargains at the same time, win win right?!
Grace- I couldn't believe I was so late to the Harry Potter party! :P And this is a digestive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_biscuit
Naomi- It just really made me smile, he is so lovely :D

You know, I thought it was a dinosaur too but now you've got me thinking...
Those cards are great! Mark is a talented man! X
The cards came out great! Love them.
Good luck with all the dissertation work. Not long left now!
And yay for Harry Potter. I can't wait for the last movie.
Hehe, and I think that's a dinosaur. Although now that you mention it, it does slightly look like a squirrel.
Lil- I think it's a confused dinosaur/squirrel hybrid! And Mark is very talented indeed :)
Sherin- Thank you, I just want to get it finished now! I think it's a confused dinosaur, maybe it's evolving?! lol :P
omgomg, I used to have that forever friends mug.
oh nostalgia!
Those cards are so cute, well done Mark!
Also on the dark chocolate digestives front - yum!
Laura- I am a total child!
Harriet- I know! What more could you ask for?!
