A quick update!

Well life has been quite busy and hectic lately, and as a result I haven't had the time to sit down and write a blog! However, this is a rare moment that I actually have some free time!

So why have I been so busy?! Well, I'm working most days so I can pay off my overdraft and fund my fun filled life! I just bought a rather beauitufl 1970 Morris Minor why I love driving around, and I've started a Jive swing class which I couldn't love and enjoy more if I tried! I also went to Blackpool to stay with my friend Jennie which was lots of fun. On top of that, I've also been on the job hunt for a proper full time job...scary!  Oh and I've been planning a Christmas trip to Germany with some girls from work with I'm very excited about!

I had this terrible vision, that once I'd left uni my life would feel very empty and boring. However, at the moment it is proving me quite wrong!

Meet Morris, my beautiful Morris Minor

My Own Little Curiosity Shop

It's taken me two days, but, I'm finally unpacked! Everything has a place and my wall is covered in pictures, postcards and loads of other little bits. As I suspected, my room does look like a little curiosity shop, and is pretty much bursting at the seams!

Hopefully this will stop me buying more random objects from antique shops...but I doubt it!

Shhhhh!!

Gin Fizz cocktails, tea cups, Charleston, and burlesque...it could only
be Prohibition!

Here are some pictures from the latest Prohibition party Jennie, Guy and I went to. Enjoy!

I can't think of a quirky name for this blog...

It's been a whirlwind of activity here lately! Uni is over, I passed my driving test, last week was spent larking about with Jennie, and to top it all off, I got a 2:1 for my degree! So in summary, at the moment I'm an incredibly busy, amazingly intelligent person! Haha!

As I said, term has ended, and so that means that my three years at uni has come to an end! So this week has been spent packing up my room, ready to move home, back to sunny Southend! It crazy too see how much stuff I have! After taking three, yes, three, full car loads of stuff back home already, you would think that the last trip would be quite small. Well that would be the case if i hadn't bought more things in the mean time! Not only do I have two large suitcases of clothes, many bags and boxes, but I also have two record players and a rather large wing back chair....bugger!

So I think I can say that my room at home will soon be resembling, a very well stocked, curiosity shop!

The Candlelight club- English Country Garden

Here are some pics from the other night!

Keep it Together Woman!

With not even a month till I move back home now, my emotions are all over the place! I feel just like I felt when I was leaving to come to uni 3 years ago: scared (and excited) about the future and sad to leave the amazing friends I have made.

I think the worst thing is, Lisa and I were chatting the other day, and she likened us all leaving to a relationship breakup. The minute she said that, I couldn't help myself from thinking about "stuff". So now I'm thinking about leaving uni AND "that"...so I've been a tad emotional at the moment (massive understatement)

Ahh dear, sad times...

Really Feeling Alive

I haven't done anything remotely 20s in ages. Yes, I've sat in my room and listened to my 20s records, but I haven't actually been to a 20s night and been absorbed in the atmosphere along with other like minded people for quite some time.

Last night however I finally got the chance to let my inner flapper out, at the Candlelight Club English Country Garden night!

We had such a ball! Having not done it in ages, I danced the Charleston even more energetically than usual (which I'm paying for today, God I ache!). The whole room, and my ears, were filled with the sound of jazz! I can honestly say i felt sooo alive in a while, my tennis dress swishing about my thighs and my glass beads flying!

We danced all night, and despite the fact the room was stifling, so we looked rather flushed, i think we looked amazing! Will post pictures as soon as I have them...Jennie and I give you permission to be aroused! Haha ;)
