The Monthly Round Up - September

I cannot believe how quickly time is flying by this year. It's insane to think there are less than 12 weeks to go until Christmas! Gah! Enough of the C-Word for now - here is my September!

Read: I am still shamefully not back into reading. I think this will change when Winter settles in, but for now, my reading consists of blogs and crochet patterns!

Watched: Breaking Bad. I am having serious withdrawal now it is over *sob*. Easily the greatest TV Series I have ever had the pleasure of watching. 

Listened: Volbeat - Lola Montez. Alter Bridge - Addicted to Pain. Hey!Hello! - Swimwear. Pearl Jam - Mind Your Manners. Avenged Sevenfold - Hail To The King.

Most Used Beauty Product: Fortune Cookie Soap "Capitol Diamond" body wash. Just scrummy. 

Ate: A delicious raspberry and coconut pie/cake thing. It was warm, with cream, and just so good! 

Drank: A lot of sugar free/diet drinks. I have been trying to behave with my calorie intake, and it's also helping my skin a bit.

Did: I made my first amigurumi - a little bird! He's a bit wonky, but I love him and I'm proud of him. 

Went: To Eurogamer! It was a brilliant day and I enjoyed it a lot. Especially my zombie buddies! 

Favourite New Thing: This is a tie, and I can't decide between the two, so you get a double whammy here. One is my "Heisenberg's Blue Sky" Shottle Bop pendant. The other is my new pair of jeggings, from Asda. They are insanely comfortable, and should be able to fit under my AFO when it arrives.

The Monthly Round Up - August

Hello Everyone!

This month has flown past so bloody quickly! I saw Keshia's post and was promptly reminded that I needed to get this done. And also get blogging more! I will follow this post with an update on everything. I promise. 

Read: Again I have had another month without any real reading material. I've been reading through blogs, reading reviews, leafing through crochet books, but that's it really. I usually read more in the winter months, so this bullet point should get a bit more interesting soon!

Watched: Breaking Bad. The same as last month I know, but I am totally addicted to it! We're just about to hit Season 5, so all being well we should be up to date before the final episode hits the UK. Jesse and Walter have invaded my life!

Listened: Team Rock Radio. It launched at Download this year, and it's really good. I've grown pretty sick of daytime TV, but Bird loves to see a picture on the TV. TRR is a great solution - music I like plus something to keep him quiet! They play some awesome stuff. 

Most Used Beauty Product: I have been on a using it up splurge, and I'm working my way through a Lush Happy Blooming Jelly. It was a forum special last year, and it was truly lovely. It reminds me of days when I thought Lush were the best thing since sliced bread. Turns out they aren't! Still, the jelly is lovely, leaves my skin soft and smelling yummy.

Ate: The Uberman made a gorgeous cake for our Bank Holiday BBQ. He has a set of pans which turn the filling of the cake into a heart shape, so each time you cut a slice, it has a heart in the middle. It was a red velvet cake with extra thick fresh cream in the middle. Absolutely delicious! 

Drank: Cherry 7Up. Beautiful stuff :)

Did: I finished the blanket! Wooohooo! 

Went: I went to DASH last week, a service for disabled people in my local borough, to get help filling in my Personal Independence Payment form. It has been posted now, so fingers crossed it goes okay.

Favourite New Thing: My new bed. Being stuck downstairs has meant a single bed, and my Uberman staying on a fold out bed. A couple of weeks ago, we ordered a new bed, which comes with a guest bed that comes up to the same level as the main bed. It folds down and rolls underneath too, taking up far less space. Means snuggle time again, yay :)

The Monthly Round Up - July

Hello Everyone!

Firstly, this round up will be different in format from June's one, as my laptop Ruby was wiped to try and rid it of the nasty virus. It has been repaired (huzzah to Dr Bro and Dr Dad!), but all my old files are not yet transferred back over. Next month will be service resumed!

Secondly, this is spectacularly late. Whoops! I apologize for this, but I have been working bloody hard on my crochet project. It is onto the final stage now, hooray! 

So without further ado, here is my monthly round up for July!


Read: Reviews. Many reviews. I have not really been reading books recently, probably due to my crocheting!

Watched: Breaking Bad. It took me a while to jump on the Walter White bandwagon, but I am ADDICTED. Upto series 3, yay Netflix!

Listened: I lost all my music when Ruby went down, so not much during the day, but I've been listening to Kerrang Radio when I'm in bed. 

Most Used Beauty Product: Fortune Cookie Soap Whipped Creams again! Can't get enough of them. 

Ate: Barbeque. Thanks to the stunning weather! 

Drank: Dr Pepper. Ice cold. Mmmm... What's the worst that can happen?

Did: LOTS of crocheting. 

Went: To hospitals quite a bit. More importantly, to finally see Bon Jovi, in Hyde Park. Amazing!

Favourite New Thing: My Sugar Skull earrings, from Punky Pins. A surprise present from the Uberman, who is now extremely proud of his ninja boyfriend skills!

All but one of the blanket squares laid out ready for edging! This photo is to show me which order I need to stitch them together in :)
