Im Going Skiing

I am very lucky to be going Skiing for my Birthday.

Today I packed my case and realised just how much stuff you take when you go away.

Looking at it I think the suitcase is as big as me, and I think about as heavy.

I must remember a coin for the trolley otherwise I will have a dead arm very quickly.

Everyone asks why I pack so early. well:

1. I'm only a week away so this is not as early as usual
2. I need to do the washing and get it dry - not easy over winter 
3. I'm wearing lots of warm clothes and fleeces on a daily basis and don't want to wear something I need to take, meaning the wash cycle again.
4. Working full time and the items I need for this holiday are quite specialist. If I have forgotten anything I still have chance to on-line order or get to my local decathlon store.

Do you think I have enough?

This will be my first ski holiday. I have had a few lessons, including one that took me to hospital with my arm. I am not great with the cold. But I am really really excited and will give it my all. 

If all else fails Ill get a lift up to the bar and have hot chocolate :-)

As you may have read earlier this week I have redecorated my bedroom. I am on the look out for a dressing table set. As I am quite orderly I want a full matching set. I need storage, and organisation, any suggestions?

I am quite limited for space so the narrower the better. What do you think??

What have I been up to:New Bedroom Room tour

What have I been up to:New Bedroom Room tour

Hello 2015,

I know I have been quiet recently, but I guess that’s what you get for working in retail over Xmas. Well now is New Year and a new start.

I thought it was about time I share my new room. I am finally getting there and I am pretty happy with it. There is only 1 main item that I think is missing but I shall get on to this within the post.

My new room:

I decided as I am not allowed to paint to accessories with colour, I went for Duck Egg Blue. I had to invest in all new furniture, including my new bed (storage drawers underneath). I wanted the room to be minimal, uncluttered and restful.

Along the way I have added colour splashes. Including my blind and light shade, Photo frame, wall plaques and candle holder. I had a few items of this colour from my old house. The jewellery box and Me to You teddy.

I have lots of my Partylite candles around, all in Iced Snowberries of course. As well as some non-company candles. But shush don’t tell anyone.

I do want to add in a dressing table, stool and mirror. To say I work for an on-line furniture company I cannot find a set suitable for the room. I found the ideal set, but they did not have a matching stool. Therefore I am sorry I think I will have to be a traitor to the company and go on Amazon for this. I cannot wait as my old room didn't have space for this. My make-up storage is quite good now, however I want to be better, and more space will help this.

The accessories from this room are either from.
