2 years...Trip to London

Oh hai!
I am in such a good mood right now, so I thought I would share with you what I got up to on Thursday!
My boyfriend, being the massive sweetheart he is, surprised me with a big bunch of flowers Wednesday night. Thursday morning I thought I would be nice, so made him breakfast after giving him his present (a jumper, how original, ha!) To start off our trip to Londres, we went and saw Shrek the musical (how grown up of us) before deciding to head to Embankment for a 'romantic stroll', as if, we ended up in a freak circus (very strange) before getting caught in the rain haha. I love walking down Embankment and seeing all the buskers and fortunately we managed to see some of them before they packed up.

This was done completely in ballpoint biro, how amazing?!

Who doesn't want a photo with a moving, talking telephone box

This was after the downpour, didn't want to show my 'rain face'

Pretty London

Feeling a bit peckish, we hopped on a tube to Leicester Square to begin our hunt for a place to eat. You know they love a restaurant when there's 3 on one street! Anyway, we walked around for ages, nothing taking our fancy, and then, and then we spotted the m&m store. UHOH. The second I walked in that store, I was in my own little heaven. with tubes and tubes of m&m's all around me. Be proud, I didn't buy anything, not even a bag of m&m's.

Anywho, we decided to be super original and go to our favourite place, Zizzi's, yum yum. We had such dedication that we got 2 tubes from Leicester Square to Victoria, just for dinner!

We get dough sticks, every time without fail. Yummy pasta, so yummy in fact, I had already eaten some before remembering to take a picture, so I had to try to make it look pretty again. Rasberry Lemonade, I have never been able to find any that tastes as good.  I apologise for this last photo, but it made me giggle. He hates photos being taken, and was not happy with me for this.

AWOL

Hey guys.
I know I know. I keep going awol. I am sooooo sorry. I promise to be good and blog regularly from now on :) Not forgiven yet?
Okay, here's the reason:
I've gone and got myself a temporary second job, and I know lots of people do it but I do not understand how! My first day off in two weeks is on Thursday and the only reason I've got that is because I got my shift at Wallis covered because it's my boyfriend and I's second year anniversary (don't worry there will be a whole post on that soon.) Anyway, enough of my whining. I am slowly getting into a routine and learning to get things done around work :(. I'm not sure I'll be able to do this full time work lark for the next 40 odd years, I'm exhausted.

So, because I haven't had much time to myself recently I haven't been able to get to many shops, not even online ones, to do any shopping! Which is probably a good thing really seen as the whole reason I'm doing this second job is to save money. However, last week at Wallis we had an up to 30% off event and there was 20% off all jewellery (even sale stuff!) and I had seen a few bits I liked so I thought I might as well get what I wanted whilst this event was on. Big mistake, I ended up spending about £26. Naughty Megan.

Wanna see what I got? Here goes...
p.s before we start, I want to apologise for the quality of the photo's. A new camera is on my list of important things to buy.

Lets start with silver sale. necklace: £4   Ring:£3.20

Black feather earrings £1.60

Matching feather necklace £4.80 

My favourite-gold chain bracelet £4

Non sale - Bracelet £6 Ring:£3.20

And then, just to top it off, I made the mistake of going into Superdrug whilst waiting for my friend. I've been meaning to find a new foundation for a while now, as I'm currently in the process of using up the last bits of my current ones. I was hoping to find a really nice/probably very expensive one, that would become my ultimate fave. However, I happened to spot a '2 for £10' on all Maybelline make-up, and well, I do quite like Maybelline as a high street product, so couldn't really resist!

This foundation is one of the newer ones and at £9.19 on it's own, I thought it would be worthwhile to try as part of this deal. An added bonus was that it actually came in a shade light enough for my skin! I bought it in 'Light Beige' and find it to be a perfect colour match. Result!

At £7.99 it is a reasonably priced mascara, but as part of the 2 for £10, paired with the foundation, it became a bargain.

I saw Tanya Burr post a photo of this mascara on twitter saying it was one  of her favourites, and when I saw it in store,  I was enticed to try it. I had only seen good reviews on it and as it was one of their new mascaras I assumed it would be better than their previous mascaras. Why make something new that's worse than the old right?

So together at retail price it would have been £17.18, so I think £10 was a good deal. This foundation will do for now (because it's better than the rest I currently have) but I am still on the hunt for my amazing foundation.
Got any tips on finding that amazing foundation? Let me know.

Pictures #3

Hey guys! 
So technically this picture post is 2 weeks worth, the time has gone to quickly!
Not much to say about this week really, all the interesting stuff for this month is still to come :)

1. My first ever visit to Wahaca, and the only thing I had was Churros. I don't regret a thing. 2. Picnic at Shorne country park with a friend from work! 3. Are you starting to see a pattern of food? 4. I NEED THIS PICTURE.

1. Continuing the food trend, BUT there is some fruit, so it's healthy right? 2. I am so much better at scramble than Jake, and this was a bad score for me! 3. Monopoly winner, need I say more? 4. Out with work, guess what, we went to a rollerdisco. So much fun.

1. Dave must have been so tired that he couldn't even lift his right ear, cute or what! 2. My little brother got Jim with a water pistol :(. 3. Chocolate fudge popping candy cupcakes. B-E-A-utiful. 4. Pirate cove minigolf.

1. My friend Liz finally turned 18. So...Before Maidstone. 2. The cake I made :). 3. After Maidstone...(Fortunately this picture isn't as bad as it could have been. I sobered up a bit before this photo as I had to look after a sicky friend. GROSS I know) And finally 4. We're back to food. Dominoes for lunch with Lauren.

1. First ever attempt at cheesecake. Note to self, use the right size tin. 2. Smartie nails that didn't last too long. Why do I insist on peeling off my nail varnish when I'm bored :(. 3. Just 2 short weeks after Liz turned 18, Danie turned 19. 4. I think Buttons likes my new bed sheets.

What have you guys been up to? I feel like I should start taking less pictures of food?
