Tunes time. Music Tag...



I have seen a few music tags the past couple of weeks floating through the blogging community, which I have got to know a few new bands, singers & different types of music from. I think it's really great discovering music you've never heard before. I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and give my 2 pence of my music taste.
I've saw two different music tags now & I have combined them together to make this post maybe a little more interesting.
So links to the three tags I've loved reading Pale Girl ReviewsMollie Muses and Terri Lowe. Check out all their blogs cause they are a lovely read. 


First Tag

"You can learn a lot about someone from the music that they listen to. Hit shuffle on you're ipod/mp3 player and share the first 20 songs that play. No cheating or skipping songs that are shameful, that's the fun part!"

Now i shall be doing this on my itunes as it's just easier. As I only had my laptop in December, I only have 1876 songs on my itunes and 210 of those are Green Day, so expect a lot of Green Day popping up. 

1. Green Day - Baby Eyes.
2. Beyonce - Halo
3. One Direction - Last First Kiss
4. Fall Out Boy - The [After] Life of the Party 
5. Pink - So What
6. Mumford and Sons - After the Storm
7. Blink 182 - Stay Together for the Kids
8. Coldplay - Fix You
9. Good Charlotte - I Just Wanna Live
10. Britney Spears - Overprotected
11. Eminem - Fack
12. Newton Faulkner - I Need Something
13. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors
14. UB40 - Homely Girl
15. Green Day - Worry Rock
16. The Beatles - I Wanna Hold Your Hand
17. The Network - Teenagers from Mars
18. Ollie Murs - A Million More Years 
19. Sum 41 - With Me
20. The Beatles - Lady Madonna 



Second Tag

"Answering the 12 music related questions"

1. What are your 5 favourite songs right now?
Recently I have gotten into my old favourite genre of music, well just two main bands. Green Day who have been my favourite since I was about 14 and Blink 182 who are just amazing. With Green Day having brought out 3 albums at the end of last year and start of this year, I've had a lot of songs to listen to & with Blink 182 bringing out Neighborhoods and their Dogs Eating Dogs EP, again, I've had a lot to listen to.

Green Day - Nightlife
Blink 182 - When I was Young
Justin Timberlake - Mirrors
Rihanna - Diamond 

2. Who are your favourite bands/artists of all time?
Well as I've mentioned, Green Day obviously & Blink 182 take the top spots as well as Pink because I adore her. So top 6 are: (was going to be a top 5 but just couldn't decide)
Green Day
Pink
Blink 182
Eminem
Michael Jackson
Oasis

3. What is the most played song on your itunes?
Angles and Airwaves - Everything's Magic.

Weekend Wishlist #8

Hii guys, hasn't the weather been lovely today!
Well it has where I live, but I've been busy all day inside and haven't been able to make the most of it, which sucks. But soon summer shall be coming... & as you may be able to tell by this wish list. I cannot wait. It's a very girly wish list this weekend, isn't that lovely.
I've had a great week again & I hope you all have too.



Topshop - Vest
New Look - Bracelet
Superdrug - Nicki Minaj Pink Friday Perfume
Now I haven't brought a new perfume for a while. Just been sticking to my Fantasy - Britney Spears perfume. I love it! But yes, I've wanted to try a new one for a while & I am sure I have found the one I'm going to buy. Now the bottle is ugly as hell, I know some people love it, but I think it's actually quite scary. But this perfume is a winner for me & it shall be mine soon!
Accessorize - Swallow Studs
Amazon - Blackberry Curve Case
So I do already have a phone case, but I've grew off the idea of having a panda with a gun on the back of my phone... Not my taste at all anymore. Therefor now I'm not using a phone case at the moment. More importantly though, I have just cancelled my phone insurance so now I'm bound to be jinxed to damage my phone so a new phone case is in order. Plus this one is so pretty!
New Look - Peach Vest

Day out with the boyfriend & some great news!

Hey guys, hope you're all well!
Thought I'd do a little post today about a day out with my boyfriend, Ash. 


So on Wednesday, Ash and I decided to go out, seen as the weather was sunny with only a little wind (or so we thought) It was about 3 o'clock when we decided to go out and got back just after 9. So we did spend quite a bit of time out, only for the two places that we went to. Our original plan was just to go to the pub for an hour and have a little drink in the beer garden. 






















We managed to take a few photo's though which was nice, we're trying to take more pictures now seen as the summers coming, at some point! 




























So we went out for a pint or two up the pub & a couple games of pool which was lovely, ended up talking to some old folk as well. As you always do. 
Then decided we was hungry so headed for the local '2 meals for £10' deal pub. Both had a chicken burger which was lovely! & then to top it off, had a massive, gorgeous Doughnut Sundae. Wow, it was good! 
Was so nice to have some sun for a change, as you can tell from the photo's though... it was windy!
Just love those days which are just random plans to go out & you end up having such a great day that you never expected. 








___________________________________________________________________________

Now, for the good news! ...Ashley and I now have our jobs back. We start work together again (all being well) on Wednesday 24th April. So soon! So now my blog posts will be a little more exciting as I'll be able to buy new things for a change. Great! 
Hope you're all doing great.

Outfit of the day #3

 Heyy guys!
Hope you're good and have been since my last post. Well the weather was supposed to be nice this week, which it has been (getting to 17 degrees) but that wind has made it unbearable. Hopefully that wind will settle down a bit and get that hot sun out. We all need it after all the snow we've been forced to have.
This outfit was actually from a couple weeks ago, I had to dog sit for my dad at his house at he was going to watch England & Wales rugby match... Least I think it was Wales... Something like that. I haven't a clue.
But yes, the outfit...

Primark Jacket - £15
Grey Scarf - I think this is my sisters, if not it's my mothers so I'm not sure where it's from or the price, this is now a stolen scarf ;) unless whomever's this is claims it back.
New Look Black Vest Top - £2.50
Rowfers T-shirt - Now, this was a t-shirt, but I never wore it as a t-shirt. I was going to give it to charity, until I thought I could cut it up & wear it as a vest, which I did do and I've wore it ever since.
Matalan Denim Shorts - £5
Tesco Black Tights

Chitty Chatty Sunday,

Hii Blogging folk :)
Hope you're all doing okay, thought I would start doing a chatty post. Just every now and again, just for something a little different and so maybe you can know me a little better. 




I've had a lovely week,
Monday - I spent the day at my boyfriends house (Ash). Didn't do much, just spent time together at his, having a lazy day, as you do. I got the bus back on the night. Don't you think bus rides are soothing, I love spending 40 minutes on that bus ride just with my Ipod in. Even though that bus ride is the most bumpiest ever, honestly & when you're sitting at the back. You do get a sore bum and have to brace yourself when you see a speed bump coming. 
Tuesday - On the morning, I went to a work program I'm on, it's a program which help you find jobs. Their not that great, but every little helps. At the moment nobody seems to be taking on full time, only part time which is fine for me as I'm starting college in September so I'll only need a part time job then for weekends. I didn't do a lot after that, had a bath and just relaxed. 
Wednesday - This was a lovely day, I wasn't planning on seeing Ash today as he had football on Thursday night. (As it costs us £5 each way to see each other, we normally spend a few days at each others houses) But he cancelled going to football to come and see me which was so nice as I wasn't in the best of moods. Just having one of those down days, as you do. 
Thursday - Didn't do a lot this day either, me and Ash spent the day watching films, playing on the PlayStation, on Sims. (Have you tried The Sims Free play game on Iphones & Android? It's amazing, check it out!) We just had another lazy day really...
On the night time we had a message sent to the both of us on Facebook, saying that we can have our jobs back at the end of May which is amazing. Just need to sort out travel, as before they had a bus running to take us all to work, but they have now stopped it. Which is frustrating. But if we can sort out travel, we could be working again by June!! Yayy.

Friday - Me and Ash spent the day in the garden, tidying up. Weather was nice for a few hours so we had the chance to get out there & spruce it up a bit after the winter months. Hopefully next week if the weathers nice we'll be able to get out there & do the rest. Hasn't it been a lot nicer this week, just need the little spurts of rain and all that wind to go away. Get that sun out!!
On the evening time, I cooked a Chicken, Bacon, Leek, Cheese Bake with Pasta. It was sooo good! My mom cooked this a few months ago and it's recently become one of my favourite meals, I can't get enough of it. 

Saturday - My Ashley had to go home today, which sucks. But I will be going to spend a few days with him on Monday. Before we went, we had a nice time. Woke up early as the council decided to send their Lawn Mower people out at silly o'clock. So we had breakfast, and spent some nice time together. I spent the rest of the day just doing my own thing, having some lazy time, yet again.
Today - So I'm sitting here now, it's 2:10, I'm watching Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring and I can smell dinner cooking. My plan for today, eat, watch all the Lord of the Rings films (really need to get The Hobbit!), write some blog posts to post while I'm at Ash's and then have a bath and get all pampered. Sounds like a great Sunday to me.


 My Ollie playing with a tennis ball...


I know my week wasn't too exciting, maybe the next time I do this, I would have done more in the week. Here's hoping! Hope you've all had a more exciting week than me ha ha.

Primark Summer 2013. Part 2

Hey you lot :) Hope you're all doing good. 
I thought I would do another Primark-y blog today, just to show a few more items that they have brought out for the summer. As they haven't got a online store, damn you Primark!
So here are a few of the items I have found here.



Now I haven't been into the store so I am not sure of the prices of the dresses. But the Bustier's are £6 each. Not bad I think...
