Winter fashion and accessories haul

I've been up to no good, but who can blame me. I went to H&M last Sunday, concious that I other than one jumper in 2012, I hadn't bought any new winter stuff since 2010. Disappointed with quality and variety, but I had to get something so I did, but then on Wednesday New Look in Birmingham was full of almost nothing but woolly goodness - and at the till they gave me a voucher for 25% off if I went back on Friday. Which I did. and re-bought some stuff for less (ssh).. And then this morning ASOS sent me a text warning of an up to 60% off flash 24 hour sale. It's a conspiracy. I caved. Here's what I got (click read more for details and prices of each item), with a few earlier purchases thrown in, and one I resisted!

Reorganised filofax / paperchase planner update

Part 3 (the last part, honestly. For now)
Hello. I said I would get back on track with blogging, but I'm still unwell, so here's what I can do to organise with minimal effort. I can sort out my filofax. Which I already did right? Well, there's always room for improvement. 

The original reorganised planner v current state:

custom personal info page

You know that personal data page that comes with your Paperchase planner, or the important information page with your Filofax, or whatever it's called? Well they tend to get a bit dog-eared after a while. Plus, you might want to edit it a bit. So I did edit it for my personal sized planner. You can download it here, and edit to your heart's content. You'll get one double sided page which looks like this:

Quick note of apology

With my last post being all about having a strict blogging schedule, you'd think I'd have posted something by now right? I must apologise. I'm afraid I came home early from work with nausea, ate something, bad idea... I'll leave it at that. I basically have felt so lethargic  barely able to stand or sit up straight, and unable to eat much since, but I've had a lucozade, a nutty cereal bar and even some cornflakes just so I think I'm on track.  I promise, as soon as I'm 100% better the blog will be on the top of my to do list. A shower might sneak in first though.... eesh...

Filofax / paperchase blog planner inserts: part 3

Oh, hello!

Yes, it's me again, two days in a row - can you believe it? In all seriousness, I've been just awful lately with posting to my blog. I'm at a crossroads in my personal life* and add to that the darkening for the skies for Autumn (yeah right, it feels like winter already) and add to that the fact that I've had so many ideas swooshing around in my head I don't know where to start!

Well, let's put an end to that, for one and all, for once and forever!**

I've created a third part to the blog planner inserts - a simple weekly/monthly schedule. Have at it:

Packing list for hand luggage

Nearly set for my long weekend abroad!  How exciting!! I've nearly finished packing my main luggage but then I was met with the "suitcase or handbag" conundrum... so it was time to seriously plan what was going with me on the plane. 

I missed a few things out before I took the pics of my lists:

- travel pillow (I got mine from boots but there's some good ones cheaper in primark. Drat. But then I figured virgin Atlantic probably provides those anyway?)

- ear plugs (I get sinus problems which basically leave my whole face in pain n one Dr suggested ear plugs at start n end of flight  although a later dr discredited the idea completely)

- tissues

- there must be something else.. headphones!!! Travel guide! ! Flannel!!
