Thirty Day Challenge - Question 1

Your middle name and how you feel about it

My middle name is Mary after my nan and of course for that very reason I love it!

I don't ever remember not liking it even when I was younger.

Book Review | The Girls Guide to Homemaking by Amy Bratley

It took me a lot longer than usual to finish reading Eclipse due to travelling into work with friends on a few days but I finally reached the end yesterday afternoon

My slight interest in Twilight waned throughout this book but I am ready for Breaking Dawn as this will be the only book I'll read without having seen the film first. I'm just wait for the call from the library to tell me it's arrived for collection

This week my book of choice is The Girls Guide to Homemaking

I'm looking forward to reading this book especially as I'm in the midst of a homemaking spurt in my flat!

Brace Face The end is near

This time next week my days with a "brace face" will be over. I toyed with the idea of getting a brace for many years until I finally became fed up of only seeing my dodgy teeth in even the nicest of photos.

When I made the decision to have a brace fitted and choosing the most discreet of braces within my price range I was still worried I might feel self-conscious but as this photo proves it was not the case! I think having a brace at a late age was the most sensible thing for me. A few years older (and wiser?!) I was more secure in myself and seeing the difference in my teeth after only a matter of months certainly proved it was worth it!

So next Monday I'll be back without my mouth full of metal (ok ceramic in my case!) to show of my straight gnashers! I'm so excited. And here's the photo reminder of what they looked like before.

Do we think this explains how Henry VIII obtained 6 wives?

Off with her head!

Today my mum and I took a trip into London to visit The Tower of London

We spent a few hours there walking around and particularly admired the Crown Jewels and I was overjoyed when I commented to mum how Queen Victoria's Small Diamond Crown was my favourite

and she replied "you could have something like that when you get married" to which I responded "I'll be holding you to that"! I just need to find the man now!!
