Today I bought...

...well not really today, but it came in the post today. So that counts.

I got a new watch.

I've been sick of constantly having to root around to find my phone in my Mary Poppins like cavernous bag to find out what time it is.

I used to wear a watch in my last job, but that was mainly so I knew exactly how many minutes 'till home time!

I bought a Swatch, Chrono Full-Blooded in Smoky Blue

Pretty.

Probably for dudes, but I couldn't care less.

I like to be able to actually see the time on my watch not have to guess like you you do on little girly watches! It's a stopwatch too. Oh yeah.

I love Swatch as a brand because I am a huge fan of the Swiss, as people and watch makers.

If you've ever been you'll know you can't go anywhere without coming across some of the most brilliant mechanical time piece contraptions you'll ever see. They're everywhere, and rightly so. 

I wanna go back so bad.....

Anyway, Full-Blooded Smoky Blue costs £105 and I bought mine from Swatch.com.

Today I Bought...

....went TkMaxx didn't I. 

I bloody love it in there, and I got some right bargains!

Nails Inc set of 4 polishes, which includes the colours -

-Westminster
-Hampstead Gardens
-Old Park Lane and
-New King's Road

These polishes normally retail at £11 each making the set £44.
HOWEVER, at TkMaxx I snagged the set for the princely sum of £12.99!

I know.

Swatches will be on http://wellnailed.blogspot.com v.soon :-)
(That's my nail blog btw)

The other thing I picked up is a TooFaced eye shadow duo in Fantasy Island.

This little baby should have set me back £17, and it was in fact £3.99. AMAZE.

Thanks for coming...

This Weekend I Watched...

...shit loads.

First up is THE GREEN MILE.

I decided to finally give this a look after the sad passing of Michael Clarke Duncan...R.I.P.

This is one of the most beautiful yet baffling films I have ever watched. 

Doing what's right vs doing what's expected.

Inner turmoil, all that jazz.

I definitely cried. A lot.

Next up was SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN.

Favourite film of the weekend. Easy.

Such a great 'love conquers all' story. Accomplishing anything you set your mind too etc. 

I cried at this too.

You should probably know that I don't usually cry at films.

Broke Back Mountain - no

Titanic - no

Although I did cry at The House Bunny which was weird.

Finally, I watched PRETTY WOMAN

I really enjoyed this film, and MY GOD I wish it was my life!

Apart from the prostitute part. Obviously.

If you want to feel like all men aren't complete douchebags, try this ;-)

Last Night I Watched...

AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER

Well...
...an absolute classic. 

I love this!

Such a beautiful story about how love conquers all etc. 

For me, the real hero is Kenneth. 

Bless Kenneth.

HOWEVER...

...I did not love Cary Grant. Soz, but the man looks about 90 years old and it just doesn't work.

He's only in his early 50's but honestly....

If you're into the old school tales of romance, give it a look :-)

Save(d) Our Bulls!!

One thing you should learn about me is that I am a massive sports fan. Anything competitive, winners and losers, I am all over it. 

My first love has always been rugby league, and my (some would say unfortunate) team of choice is my beloved Bradford Bulls.

Anyone with a vague interest in RL will know that we've been, well, in the shitter recently. Debts towards the £1.5 million mark, points deductions and the possibility of relegation....

Well, huge thank you's are in order to a one Mr. Omar Khan Bradford businessman, restaurateur, and proud new owner of the Bradford Bulls :-D

I'm glad He's a genuine fan of the Bulls, and has some real plans on how to move the club forward. 

I've heard the phrase 'The Wembley Of The North'....!

So THANK YOU Mr. Khan. I expect discount on my curry.
