Thought this might be an apt book to throw into the mix as it's apparently one of the most wished for books this year.

All that's left for me to say is GOOD LUCK!

Things i love this week

I think i might make this a regular thing. There is a few things i really love this week that it's worthy of a blog post...Well i think so anyway.

1. My family. (boring but true but they are pretty great!)


 2. Ed Sheeran's Lego house video! It's clever, funny and well as my 12 year old would say "Awesome"

3. My glamour magazine freebie Nail polish! Nails Inc in Victoria which is a deep red. I must make the effort to try out their other Nail Varnishes as i love the way this goes on and even though this colour wouldn't be my first choice in colours i was pleasantly surprised.  You should go grab a copy of Glamour if you haven't already, they have various other colours to pick from and you can see the colours through the packet so can choose what you like. I have a subscription so had no choice but i'm happy with the one i received.

4. F&F 3 Button long pull-on boots that i purchased for both my girls. They are a reasonable £12.50 and i doubled up my tesco vouchers so had £40 to shop with so treated them to a pair each.

You can check them out for yourself here

5. Another pair of boots but much cheaper!  F&F Faux sheepskin boots at £6 a pair! They are half price at the moment and i doubt they will last long. Really these must be my bargain of the week!

You Need Me, I Don't Need You

Had to post to rave about another talented singer...his name? Ed Sheeran.

I'm not one who keeps up with the music scene and i usually find out what's new by my daughters playing it or singing away to it in the shower. This time though i heard about the fantastic Ed Sheeran by hearing him sing with Leddra Chapman. Being a curious person i had to go and google this talented bloke and just love his songs.
You need me, i don't need you is a brilliant song and is a song perhaps in the past i would of avoided but this talented red head makes it work. Have to say i think it has great meaning, and there are plenty of times i have wanted to say to people..hey hang on..you need me but i don't actually need you. Well kind of..i'm the kind of person who is needed when someone wants something anyway i digress. Ed Sheeran has many great songs and as with Leddra i'm shocked i haven't come across him before but better late than never huh?

Another song i have fallen in love with by him singing is Wayfaring Stranger, Johnny Cash did a brilliant cover of this song but Ed brings some youth to the song and sings it so very well. It's totally different to You Need Me and yet i really like both of these songs. Have a listen and give it a chance, i'm sure you won't be disappointed.
