family and friends are what weekends are made for!

I really do have the best family and friends. They shower me with love and show me constant support.

I love you!

sleepless nights. yawn.

it's 3.25 am in the morning and i haven't been able to sleep a wink! i've been tossing and turning in bed for almost 3 hours now, and with glen having to get up at 4.30 for work, i thought it was slightly unfair of me to keep him awake any longer. i'm now downstairs still in my pj's drinking my herbal sleepy time tea and listening to the creaks in the old house where i call home.

anyway with thanksgiving coming up i thought i would write a list to say what i'm thankful for, and to hopefully make me sleepy!

{p.s i'm also a little bit jealous that we don't have this holiday in the UK.}

• Thankful for my mum who sends me little messages every day just to say how much she loves me.

• Thankful for my sister and my cute little nephew. i'm so glad you're staying at home for christmas and can't wait to make decorations with you this year. yippee!

• Thankful for glen's jokes and baby voices we only use for each other. i think we made up our on language a while ago that only we understand!

• Thankful for my friend’s nat and alex, who make me dinner whenever glen's not at home (even if they do argue over who's the best cook whenever i go round!)

• Thankful for my home and all the creaks and cracks that go with it. however the mouse that keeps making an appearance in our kitchen i'm not so thankful for!

• Thankful for my sleepy time tea.....................

i think it's finally made me zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I laughed out loud as i watched this earlier. I love that people are just walking past them and aren't sure what to do!

I'm also pretty smitten with the background being in Paris, it makes this video more special to me.

Morning!

So i hope you like the little play list below. I must give credit to hearblack, as i didn't realise you could do this until i saw his yesterday.

( and maybe i listened to it all day whilst tidying up the house!)

It's like a mixed tape that you used to receive from friends in school.

I hope you like it.

I can see my self getting very addicted to this widget from now on..........

songs to get me out of bed

it's always the little things that make me the happiest

I have been listening to Laura Marling non - stop for three days now. She has such a beautiful voice and an innocence about her that i find adorable.

here she is on Jool's Holland.

Enjoy!

I heart my city

My relationship with London has been a love hate one for a while now.

There are days when i want to move to the country where you can breathe in fresh air, not second hand smoke! also where you can sit on a bus or train and just spark up lovely conversations with strangers, rather than being stared at on an over crowded tube.

But then there are days where the city's bright lights really take me in and make me

swoon!

Last night was one of those nights.

I've spent most the weekend surrounded by tissues in the comfort of my bed.

I've had a horrid cold and yesterday i felt the need to escape the room and leave all the snotty tissues behind. Glen and I jumped in the car and went for a little drive around town,

laughing and listening to

Christmas songs

whilst drinking our

hot chocolates!

ahhhhh bliss.
