Time for a rant .....

Ok why do i always speak too soon???

as i have said in my previous post, ive had a bad infection in my mouth well i got up this morning to a swollen face yet again :(

It is really starting to drive me crazy as i look terrible & no amount of make up is going to help :(

Also on another note that has really really irritated me lately is EBAY!!! Now anyone who knows me knows i love ebay, which i do dont get me wrong, i have found many a bargain on there but it really annoys me how folk buy items from stores & then have the nerve to put them on Ebay at double the price, sometimes even more..

Let me give you an example.... I love River Island especially there hats & boots, i was recently looking for last seasons panda hat as there no longer sold in store & the prices were unbelievable so i opted for this seasons bear hat...

Namely this one.... (So very cute) These are £14.99 in store & online, folk are putting them on ebay for £30, it is just me or is that just wrong????

Also i have just ordered these 2 hats..

This first one (grey Tiger) is £20 in store & online & i have seen it for double on ebay.. I thought ebay was for bargains.... AArrgghhh How it annoys me!!!

I have to show the other little bear hat as i have bought this for my daughter so she can be like mummy lol!

Anyway that is my rant for today lol!!

oh also got an email from Sleek today saying my orderfrom the 12th Nov will be sent tommorrow yipee!!!

MIA Sorry......

Yes... I no i have been missing in action on my blog for a while now :(

Sorry......

I have had so much going on & just havnt had the time..

Firstly i was ill with really bad & very painful infection in my mouth, my face swelled like a balloon :( (not a pretty site)

Then my little man (who's only 4) has jus been in hospital for his tonsils & adanoids taking out :(
Worst experience of my life i tell you... I have never been more nervous & scared in my life...
He is recovering well now but has to stay indoors for 7 days which isnt really a bad thing with this horrible weather..

I have bought a few items recently which i will post about vey soon..
alas one order i placed in the 50% Sleek sale i never even got :( i didnt even recieve an email afterwards to explain anything.

Anyway until next time, have fun xxx :) :)

Hugs & much love Shelley xxx

Woo Hoo!! I DID IT!!!

WOO HOO!!! I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!

I never thought i could do it,if you ask anyone who knows me, i was always putting myself down & totally convinced myself i would'nt pass first time at all & well I DID!!!

With only 4 minor faults!!

i have been so ill for over a week that i just went in there basically so as to not waste the money i had already paid for the test as it was too late to re-schedule or cancel without losing the money & having to pay all over again..

i figured i would rather give it go & fail than waste the money & not even attempt it sooooo.. i was very pleased to find that i had passed... NO MORE RED L PLATES FOR ME!!!

Been ill :(

Well I know there has'nt been any blog posts lately, i have been ill :( *Sad face*

I have a Abscess in my mouth which is causing me alot of pain, i cant eat, sleep or function properly.

I have a batch of antibiotics so hopefully they will kick in very soon as to top it off i have my Driving test in a few days, which i am determined to do, it has already been cancelled once (by them, not me) so all your good vibes & confidence sent my way would be great!!!

Anyway hoping to get back to normal very soon xxx

Take care xxx

New Hair.....

I am a red head.... :0)

Finally i got my hair done red, i had to get it done at the hairdressers which i dont like doing as it costs a fortune (£65) :(

What a procedure it was, firstly they had to bleach my hair to get it to lift a little with dying my hair black for so long then came the red, i wasnt too sure whether it was going to go but it did & i love it!!!

My hairdresser had to use 9% creme peroxide on my hair to get it to lift & turn red but i do have quite thick & strong hair so it was able to take it..

What do you think?????
