.there are two things left in my selection box...

A wispa and a packet of buttons. In theory, it would be best for my diet if i got rid of them sooner rather than later. I aim to ‘dispose’ of the buttons while watching the awesome monday night telly ahead! xax *edit* there are now zero things left in my selection box….oops!

.A trip to IKEA.

So me and the boyfriend went for a browse round IKEA today with his mum and dad. I actually hadn’t been for aaages so it was really fun! We ate swedish meatballs and chips and then had a long wander around making lists of things we want to buy when we move out. Needless to say that list is super long now! We got to the end and noticed a 3 for 2 on kitchen appliances sign, a deal that...

kats-wonderland asked: Ok so this might sound weird but how do you have such a great realtionship with your bf? How do you know when he's the guy or worth the chance?
I wonder how you can have a successful relationship from your perspective?
Whats the secret lol?
Thank you if you respond. :)
p.s. you are so gorgeous and your blog always keeps me interested.

The boyfriends dad has decided to take us all out for a curry tonight!!! Diet starts tomorrow? xax

i-need-to-calm-down asked: Something I make quite a lot is egg fried rice and then you can put just about anything in it! You just cook some rice, fry it in a little bit of groundnut oil for about a minute, then add peas, chicken, prawns - whatever you want! Once that's all cooked, push it to one side of the frying pan and put a couple of whisked eggs in the other side. Stir the eggs until scrambled and then mix it all...

.Healthy 'Friday Night' Recipes.

Usually me and the boyfriend order some sort of takeaway on friday nights. Not only is this bad for our wallets but its even worse for our waistlines! Does anyone have any tasty curry/chinesy recipes that are diet friendly(ish)? www.xameliax.tumblr.com/ask xax

ifyouwantto-talkthenightthrough asked: I have to say Amelia, i love you a little more for sharing in my fear of the little Wii fit voice. I am currently striving for the day when it tells me "all set, you can step on now" while im actually on it! (im fully aware of how sensitive they are for anyone else who's reading this) but when i miss a week or so i do die a little when it tells me ive gained 1lb or so
:o(

.dying a little over here.

An hours work out on Just Dance 2 and Wii Fit has just nearly put me in a coma. I was scared about stepping onto the wii fit board after so long for fear of it yelping in pain and shouting ‘one at a time please’. But luckily i have only put on 3lbs over about 4 months. Still 3lbs in the wrong direction, but i feared much worse. All in all i think i’ve slowly put on around 8lbs in...

Today has been a good day! I found out that i’ve been paying emergency tax since starting my new job meaning that i’ve magically gained an extra £100 a month in my pay packet which i didn’t realise! …and then someone brought their little cocker spaniel puppy in to show everyone and he was ADORABLE!!! Mum and dad have gone out for tea and left me to fend for myself, but...

.Red Velvet Cupcakes.

I’m desperate to bake a red velvet cake. Can someone hurry up and have a birthday already?! These cupcakes may have to make an appearance one evening i think: http://gonnawantseconds.blogspot.com/2010/12/red-velvet-cupcakes.html xax

.Ricky Gervais - Golden Globes 2011.

I don’t know if any of you have heard, but Ricky Gervais presented the Golden Globes again this year… I’m sorry, but i really don’t understand why people are complaining so much about his performance. If you wanted ‘family friendly’ humour then you should have booked Bruce Forsyth. Dear Hollywood, please learn how to take a joke and my goodness, whatever you...

harrydunlopclark asked: Congrats on graduating! Sounded like you had a really great day from your blog post, and I glad for you that all your hard work payed off in the end :)

.Quite enjoying today so far.

Currently sat listening to Mumford & Sons on the pod and enjoying a prawn pasta salad that mummy brought me! Received some amazing news at around 11:30 this morning and I’ve been floating around the office ever since! ….all will be revealed in due course tumblrinos! Happy monday everyone! xax

.Graduation - Class of 2010.

I now officially have a Bachelor of Science (with honours) Degree in Psychology! Yesterday was just lovely. I got some wonderful cards off everyone along with a graduation charm for my lovelinks bracelet and some money from mum and dad, some choccies and an ultra cool set of champagne flutes from the boyfriend’s parents which we christened before leaving. The boyfriend’s present...

lovejustinee-deactivated2011071 asked: hi doll!

congratulations on graduating! I just thought you should know i think you're wonderful and adore your blog!
best of luck to you hun! sending my love from california<333

no-named-hero asked: Hey there! Good luck on your graduation! :) I'm sure you'll be fine! At least you won't have one of your work friends in the front row heckling you as you walk on the stage!! :(

Congratulations on graduating! You kick the llamas ass! ;) x

ifyouwantto-talkthenightthrough asked: Hiya, I hope you get this before your graduation......
You'll be fine, ours was on the big screens every city seems to have too, on both of them! I was stupidly paranoid, mainly because we were told to go straight across the stage and down behind the curtain not the steps that went down the front (the ones that made more sense) i was really fighting an urge not to go that way!!

.Pretty sure this is going to be me on stage at...

.Panic stations.

It’s my graduation tomorrow and i don’t think i could be more nervous. I fell up a set of stairs today wearing flats and skinny jeans…how the hell am i going to walk up steps and across a long stage with a big flappy gown wrapping round my ankles and manage to stay upright?! And now i find out that not only is it being broadcast on a big screen outside the ceremony building, but...

.oh well, let's get pizza.

House offer number one - rejected! It was a serious long shot, but worth a go! We’re going to put in our 2nd offer on monday a bit higher and try again! Just ordered pizza to ‘console’ ourselves, but really we just wanted an excuse to eat pizza! :p xax

.Watching twilight with mum.

.'I'll put some wine in the fridge'.

Bit of a stressful day today with some people being silly and lots of work to do in the office. I text mum telling her i’d had a poopy day and her reply was simply ‘I’ll put some wine in the fridge.’ lol! So we’re going to sit and watch Twilight together with a glass or two of wine and our feet up in a bit. Best way to forget about a rubbish day by far. On a more...

nat-stedman asked: I remember you posting something awhile back about asking Tumblr for a category for to request blogs for people who only write about their lives. Did you hear anything about it or not?

.Definitely a challenge.

So we went to see that house the other day and we were very excited. It really needs a lot of work, but i’m confident we could make it look lovely with a bit of time. It’s the sort of house that might not look perfect right away (purely because of our first time buyers budget) but will work out more profitable in the long run. It’s a good thing i’m moving in with a property...

.My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.

This programme fascinates me…. Who else is watching?

Anonymous asked: hi Amelia, i have a question. i know your not a fashion blog but i loved the pictures you posted last week with your outfit for work. what sort of stuff do you normally wear to your office? maybe you could post a picture everyday of what you are wearing or something? i love your style!

.Could be a craphole, could be a challenge.

Me and the boyfriend have just found out that a house we thought was sold is back on the market. It’s an empty semi-detached house with limited photos but for some reason we’re both drawn to this house even though we haven’t even seen most of it. We’re trying to get a viewing on my lunch break tomorrow to have a look at whether it’s a total craphole or whether it has...

.Dinner for Schmucks.

Actually really surprised with this one, i found it utterly hilarious! Steve Carell was on top form and i was laughing my head off the whole way through. Just like his character in Anchorman i wanted to just give him a cuddle and do some drawing with him! The trailers definitely do not do this film justice and it’s a real feel good silly comedy you could watch at any time. Plus seeing...

le-haricot asked: i've never seen one tree hill before! is it as good as the oc? :)

.Sunday morning musings.

I need to go into town today and buy some new heels for my graduation night and a White shirt for the daytime. I think me and the boyfriend are going to walk again like last week - weather and my back permitting - it is pretty blustery out there! But right now I’m sat in the comfort of his bed, drinking tea and pondering about doing another tumblr challenge and some point. Theres a lot more out...

.Saturday night.

Rented Dinner for Schmucks tonight to watch with the boyfriend! We’re having a weekend in and saving our pennies (and livers) for next Saturday! What’s everyone else doing around the world?

Just ordered a Chinese takeaway with the boy but I really really fancied sweet and sour chicken (one of the worst dishes for msg-induced poorlyness). I didn’t realise, but apparently you can ask for Chinese restaurants not to put any msg in your meal….so we did! And you know what? It was so much better! You could see the difference straight away, the sauce wasn’t thick and...

.Forever 21 online.

The boyfriend forwarded me a voucher code this evening so i took full advantage of it and splashed out a bit on Forever21’s website! Got myself a cutey tee, a necklace and some intimates and it only came to about £25…super bargains! Need to stop spending though, it’s my graduation next saturday and i can feel it’s going to be a big night out which means big money! And i...
