Can you believe I only got one Easter egg? The queen of all things chocolate, got one Easter egg...It may have had something to do with the fact that I asked people not to buy them for me, but I didn't actually mean it, did I?
Well, I did as I'm working at cutting sugar out my life - won't bore you with the deets - but I was totally expecting the man to maybe share some Cadbury's Creme egg love - they're my weakness, but apparently, in the interest of my well-being, everyone did as they were asked, the mumma gifted me money instead which was much more fun than chocolate and will be spent on make-up goodies from Debenhams later today - hurrah - prods are the new chocolate! Anyway, I polished the one I did have off in one sitting last night while watching Pride and Prejudice and am now pretending that I didn't.

So Friday was date day for The Man and I, we had some quality boy/girl time and went walking in the countryside, we went to castles....



I love me an old castle - this is really near where we live, yet we've never visited it before!



This was The Man attempting to be all arty...



This was my attempt at being arty...



We ate yummy food and then curled up on the sofa to watch the recent Take That concert on DVD - he asked to, I didn't even have to make him! It was a much-needed fun day in the world of The Man and I - hurrah!

Saturday I went for a 2 hour walk at 7am in the morning in the pouring rain - loved it, 'cept I felt a bit poorly for the rest of day so was spent lounging and reading and drawing and making Easter cards and watching bad TV...

Sunday - Egg Day! Did I mention I only got one? I spent the day with my mumma - we went to a craft fair in the morning where we chatted to lots of arty people and I discovered this lady who's work I am now totes in heart with - she's going to do art classes in a teepee, I'm signing up!

I admired my mumma's Easter tree - who said Christmas has to have all the tree fun? It's gorgeous isn't it? I love it and it makes me smile just looking at it!



We went to my Auntie Val's for yummy Sunday roast - I defy ANYONE to try and beat my Auntie Val's Sunday roast - it's just not do-able, I am now the size of a substantial house, but it's worth it, coz it's so freakin' yummy!

Today I am 'spring cleaning' - not housework - I'm not crazy! - but my head - I'm making the vision board I said I was going to do back in January, I'm going to make a list of all the things I want to do before I'm 30 and music-wise, I'm going to alternate between Moldy Peaches and The Clueless soundtrack - yep, I'm going retro, y'all!

Oh, I also discovered I love toasted hot cross buns, I've totes been missing out on a taste sensation!

Okay, life update...

book
Finished Candy Girl - big thumbs up! Am reading a book called The Red Book it's about being a Spiritual Cowgirl - I'm loving it. The author Sera Beak is brilliant at making all things spiritual completely accessible to girls who also like to shop and eat chocolate too - also revisiting one of my favourite books, Succulent Wild Woman by Sark, it fell off the bookshelf last night, so I figured it was telling me to take a li'l look, so I did and I forgot how much I loved it - Sark rocks!
You got any recommendations?

song
Rockstar by Nickelback - cannot shift it from head and don't particularly want to - love it!

frequently worn outfit or item
A really un-attractive grey fleece hoody - It's 3 sizes too big, but it's so freakin' warm and comfy I feel like I'm cocooned in cotton wool, I bregrudgingly take it off to sleep at the mo, if I'm not going out then this baby goes on!

perfume
Charlie Red - slightly retro, stupidly cheap but never fails to get a compliment!

food
My auntie Val's sunday roast - if I didn't put on a stone every time I ate it, I'd pay her to make it me every single day - that's how nice it is...

drink
Green tea - have taken to drinking it through a straw as I'm worried it might stain my teeth!

guilty pleasure
A pleasure should never be guilty should it? These four days hve felt a bit guilty though as I really haven't opened a word document once which just feels so weird, I have been scribbling in a note book though, and I remembered how much I love writing in felt tip pens so that's what I've been doing, it makes me feel 5 again!

bane of my existence
there are things that are slightly annoying and irritating, like my bank balance not being bigger than it is and the fact I'm not sat on a veranda in San Fran looking out over the bay, but I'm pretty bane free right now!

anticipation
My next two books Viva La Diva and It's a Girl Thing coming out in just over a week's time - agggghhhhhh! I'm also looking forward to hanging with my Lola buds Lindsey and Sophs on Thursday - they make work fun x 1000!

wishlist
Um...will post that after an afternoon of cutting and pasting and dreaming and wishing...have a pink glitter-filled day!

Please tell me about your current loves and wishes!
