Day at Blackpool Zoo.

It was my week off work and I wanted to d something more then going shopping, so me and my best friend Jordan decided to go Blackpool zoo. I know I'm 23 and she is also 23 but the zoo is great for any age as you can see.



 

when we finally got there after an hour and half driving, because I hate driving on the motorway so we went the very long way round hahah :). we first got lunch both of use enjoying our sandwich, crisps and drink (coke). then we got up and went to look around. luckily it was a nice sunny day and had no rain other wise it wouldn't of been as fun but first we looked,

 

 

TIGERS AND LIONS

 

I got a great picture of the tigers play fighting together, they looked like there was really enjoying them self's and all the other people around use loved watching them, I wasn't going till I got a great picture for you guys. The lions where just lying around and enjoying the sun I guess haha, he never got up once and just watched use watching him. Next we went to see the.....



 

GRIAFFES 

 

The giraffes were great they had a walking area outside and an inside area we went to the inside area and one came in they could come right up to you and we watched them eat and drink for around 20 minutes he/she kept coming to me and Jordan looking at use.

 



you could look at the higher area like we was or from the bottom area where you can see some other people did, but I found it hard to see or get great pictures on the ground area, as you have glass in front of you where as at the higher ground there was no glass just a small railing. the giraffe was so funny and a little comedian, he/she had great personality and loved human interaction. Next ....

 

OTTAS

 

 

As we was walking around the park there was a medium size island surround by a smallish wall with water, when we looked inside there was two otters, there was extremely cute as we went up they was kissing each other. i was super disappointed I didn't get a picture of them kissing but I did get a few pictures or them together.

 



know if I keep going though all the animals we saw this blog would be real long so I thought I would just add a few pictures at the end, we watched a sea- lion show it was amazing and they was so talented they could balls and played fetch, we watched the monkeys get fed and how fast the run for food they got fed a range of fruit. we saw a small kangaroo which had a baby kangaroo inside her pouch.

 

After we had finished at the zoo we decided to have a little drive to the beach we parked up and got a little nugget each and sat on the beach and eat our nugget before taking the drive home. Here was our few on the beach

 

 

Thank-you guy for reading my blog even though this was a long on

Quick Life Up Date

Hiya guys not been on here for a long time, been really busy with just general life ( WORK ) being a nursery nurse is hard enough but when you have been promoted GOO MEE !! to room leader its a little harder making sure everything right and everything gets done.
Also my last post was about what car I got. well....... I went for the Toyota Aygo in white its a great car.

 

Although it was a small boot, it has its advantages too I will do a blog post just on the car by its self because there is a lot to talk about. lets keep updating you guys, I have re done my whole room my dad stripped out my old fitted wardrobes, bedside table and my bed, I know have sold oak wardrobe, beside table and chest of drawers, I got all this from oak furniture land as they was having a deal (http://www.oakfurnitureland.co.uk/) I have had to  change the size of my wardrobe as I had double wardrobes before and now have to have single to be able to fit the chest of drawers in. I changed my floor from carpet to wood as I'm very clumsy and kept spilling stuff on my carpet so wood is so much easier to clean hahahah. I still need to get finishing touches like curtains and bedding and rugs but that can all wait know as it is nearly Christmas.

well guys that is my life update for know I will see you tomorrow hopefully with another blog post

Car crash & New car

Hiya guys this is sort of a lad blog post today, all because its about cars but come on all use girls need cars too. We all wont a great car, I sadly crashed my old car which was a Citroen C2 in red March last year, don't get me wrong I miss my car a lot, it wasn't a mager crash just a small bump but that small bump crushed my suspention on my car which then made my car a write off.

So know I am finally on the look for a new car, I have saved for nearly a year but still not enough to buy my own car, so I have decided to lease a car but what car to lease is another matter. I have been looking at the new Citroen C1

Citroen C1 in sliver with red touches

If I got the Citroen then these the same colours I would like to get just a pop of colour looks great on a plain car a think, makes it look more colourful instead of just plain and boring. I feel this car had character, and looks great for a younger model.

Although I am also looking at the Toyota Aygo too these are the same car under the metal and look the same inside too, the only difference it the make and the look really, although the Toyota comes with 5 years warranty which is great.

Toyota Aygo in white and black

With the Toyota it has a giant X on the front which makes it stand out from the crowd, again I would get this car if possible in white just because I feel like white looks clean, the only problem with this is I would have to wash it a least every 1-2 weeks which is a big job, although I use to clean my old car a lot. ( I like a very clean car )

Both cars have touch screen monitors and connect to your mobile if you get more then base model. Top models come with review parking which is great for me as I'm rubbish at parking, its my worse fear driving not so much, all I think is how the hell am I going to park this hahaha!!

Finally I would love if any of you have any other car suggestions on other cars, I'm looking for a small car with character.

Good Memories with Grandma Joan

Hiya guys this blog post isn't going to be like my last ones its all about the good memories as today we had a great send of for her, which was amazing. Lets get into the happy stuff haha.

when I was about 7 or 8 years old my parents went on holiday and my Grandma Joan looked after me for the week but the day they flew her and my Granddad Tom was still away, so I spent that night at my auntie Gills. The next day they both took my swimming at waves it was amazing and so much fun, although my Grandma Joan didn't come into the pool but was still so much fun spending time with her. Also when we ever went anywhere in her car we use to try and beat the traffic lights this memory has always stuck in my head, I can still see and hear her laughing know, this beating the traffic light games was played every time we came to a traffic light, the rules was we had to drive really slowly when approaching a red traffic light and to see if we can get there their without stopping, if we was still moving and the light changed to green we won the traffic light, my Grandma Joan was great at this game wit won the traffic light nearly every time.

I also remember her giving my smarty cookies and milk before bed every night when she looked after me and I use to kneel at the coffee table that was against the living room wall while watching what ever there was on TV. One night she said " Jade should we get KFC and my Grandma Joan and Granddad Tom never really had takeaway so this was a bonus, although my Grandma Joan was a great cook I loved her cakes and pudding and my Granddad Tom grew cucmumbers and he use to give me loads ( I love cucmubers and still do). Nearly every time i came over she would of made me a pavalover with cram and rasberries mmm!!!! they was the best that was ever made. I also remember having cream soda at her house all the time, it was a staple at my there house. I use to spend every birthday at my Granma Joans and Granddad Toms house because my birthday lands on boxing day, we use to spend it with the whole family and have a family birthday party there, although this stopped when I turned 14 or 15 I think I'm not to sure.

She use to love doing cross stitch she was great at it I always remember them being around her home surrounding family photos of the family.

When I got a little older my parents went on holiday again with out me I was only in my teens this time so still not old enough to be on my own. This time instead of my staying with her and my Granddad Tom she came and stayed on my house, without my Granddad Tom though. She made my tea everyday, she would shout me in when I was out, it would be sitting at the table ready for me to eat, every Sunday she would watch "songs of praise" although its not something I would watch it will know always remind my of her.

 

Little message to my Grandma Joan

Before I go I would like to just say I love you lots Grandma Joan and always will forever in my heart and thanks for being a great Grandma, without you I wouldn't have these great memories. You was a great person always smiling and laughing making things fun for use all, also making great food. You welcomes people with open arms, you home was always welcoming. you are the most thoughtful, forgiving, kind, loving person I will every know, your just like Granddad Tom but a female. Your both the best grandparents I could ever wish for. xxxxx

 

 hope you enjoyed todays blog, this has come from the heart

see you all tomorrow xox

Trafford Centre (Manchester) With Hint of Drama

Hiya guys I just cant keep away, I know I said I would do one a week but I'm enjoying blogging so much I wanted to write another one. so I am going to try and do one a day for a whole month lets see if I can do this hahaha. Last weekend I went to the Trafford center just me and my mum, for a girly shopping day but this girly shopping day turned into a mega splurge, with a hint of drama. It strarted off bad as it was snowing where we live and the roads were bad but I promised my mum manchester was clear of snow, so we sent off. We firstly went to windfields which is a outdoor store which sell a range of things from shoes to kitchen stuff to work wear to even camping stuff, we went there for some brakfast in there cafe where i use to work when i finished school for 3 years. (mum treated me to crumpets mmmmm while she had a sausage butty) Then we set off for the drive to the Traffod centre, once we got there parking was super easy for a change. We went though John Lewis and maybe some of you guys dont know what the hell I'm saying but the traffod center is like a huge mall to use british. We came out of Jhon Lewis into the long daunting area where all the shops where, I went straight into a shop called  "Tessuti" which is a store that sell designer clothes, they had a giant sale. I went straight to there dresses, I needed a black dress, I found the perfect one, they had my size and it was on sale how more perfect could it get then that, it even looked nice on.

Although this dress still wasnt cheap it was a great deal the origanal price was £249 but you ready to hear how much i got it for £99 i was extreamily impressed it is a michal koras dress, he is a great designer, this dress will get worn more then once its a stample for my wardrobe. next I needed heals and agin same shop they had a sale on some nice shoes, but I have narrow feet and pointed heals dont look good so we was now on the hunt for heals !!!! Never in my life would i think finding shoes would be hard till after last week.

Firstly I just needed to run into boots sorry guys but I have no pictures of the items I bought as my mum has already unpacked them and put them away. They had a 70% sale on there christmas stock so I bought my mum come "french connection" stuff from £45 to £13.50 which was great, then I got some " collection concealer" an some " foundation". then I got a sample pack of the "smash box kit" which inclued " camera ready primer, camera ready BB cream, brush and powder"

After that I needed a drink so we just went to Boost and got a drink to share, unless some of you are unsure what Boost is, its a healthy smoothie drink stall, they tast great and I even got double fruit to make the tast stronger :P After hours of looking for heals we went to " Clarks" and finally found a pair. these are basic heals which are again a staple to a girls shoe collection, dont get me wrong I dont have that many shoes infact this is my first pair of heals I own.

At this point I just wanted to get out and go home we had been looking for these for hours. Now my mum wanted a coffee after hours on end walking up and down the trafford looking for heal. So we went went to "starbucks" i had my normal " vanilla frap" and mum " latte" Know it was time to go home YAYYYYY!!! This is where the drama happened it was lashing down with rain and we was walking to the car, when my mum realised she had left the lights on and thats when the battery had gone in the car. we had to ring green flag to jump start the car, so instead of waiting hours in a cold car we went back in. This is when I spent more money and bought my self a " Ted Baker purse"

                     

 

Its a purse I will have for a long time and it will last for years as its real leather, an real glass I fell in love with it as soon as I sent my eyes on it. Once I had paid the green flag had rang saying there where here. They srarted the engine and we was off home. Luckly there was no drama on the way home just nice peacfull drive home.

 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks blog

see you all next week xox

ASOS haul January 2015

 

Hiya guys long time no speak been really busy over the past few months but I'm back and I'm going to try and do a blog a week hopefully I can keep to this as I know have a new laptop.

I was looking online in the sales just randomly looking like use girls do, oh and maybe some boys if there into this kind of stuff hahaha. I find a few items I fell in love with, I was looking at dresses for the summer that are thin and not to short but not to long and I found one that was on sale or £8 what a bargain, so I bought two one in black and one in charcoal and yes I know there not very summery colours but I'm not into brightly coloured dresses.

 

 



 

 

These dresses are tight at the top and hug your waist then flair out from the hip down. I have only tried on the black dresses and it is quite see though at the top so if your thinking about grabbing it in the sale then I would also consider getting a black crop top to go underneath too, I'm not very sure about the grey one at this moment in time sorry guys but I am also guessing this that one is going to be see though also. The material is so soft and great quality considering that they are only £8 reduced from £10 and even full price is cheap for a great quality summer dress. If any of you are thinking about buying these dresses that also come in other colours then I would grab them while you still can because they will be going fast they are called " Kerry Strap Detail Skater Dress"

 

I was looking for a new blazer as my old one was getting to short in the sleeves, I'm not to sure if it was because it had been washed so much and I have had it for a few years so it was time to get a new one anyway. again it is black but I had to get it in black for family reasons so I had no choice and again this is pretty cheap compared to the last one I bought, some people may says its expensive and lets say I wasn't going to be buying another in a different colour as it was £25. I looked a the websites measurements for there stuff because different places range in my size normally, I am a size 10 on top but according to there measurements I was a size 8 so I bought it in size 8 and its quiet a tight fit so I would go with what size you normally are.

 

 

 

 

This blazer has puffy shoulders and black plastic diamond like buttons, don't get me wrong the buttons feel cheap but the material again doesn't its good quality. If any of you guys are thinking about buying it this blazer is called " Ella Jacquard Fitted Blazer"

 

Finally I wanted to get a white crop top to go with my skinny jeans for the summer time, I've never ever worn a crop top before but this year I thought I would just go with it. People say to me why cover your belly its flat show it off but I'm very insecure probably like most girls, but mine isn't because I thing I look to fat or not got a nice tan, mine is because I think I'm to slim and I have been all my life, I'm slowly trying to get my confidence up to wear new things. This item was cheaper then in any shops £5 as it is great quality.

 

 

This crop top is super soft, I will be buying a load more in white and different colours, I prefer white as I feel like white looks a lot better on me, although I need to add a little colour to my wardrobe as its looking a little bland with just black and greys. If any of you are thinking about getting this crop top its called " Georgie Short Sleeve Super Crop Top" this crop top comes just under my bra line, so if you don't want it that cropped then they have a large range

 

Hope you enjoyed this weeks blog

see you all next week xox
