Those of you who used to follow my blog might remember the parrot earrings that I lived in until they fell apart - and then went on a mission to hunt them out and bought several more pairs, well.....check these newbies out. How cute? VERY.
Ichin* on eBay, thank you, I'll be back to buy more of your delicate creations on pay day
It's Friday, the sun is shining, what's not to smile about? Have a great day
Ta ta for now

I'm not signed back to work until Monday and am bored out my mind...
Yes I have a HUGE stack of books to read, lots recorded on the V+ box, my iPod could do with a little updating and I've even got a couple of boxes still to unpack from 'moving in'. None of that is as exciting as a spot of baking though...

Very easypeasy and it tastes delish
Oh and while I remember I picked up this beautiful spring form round cake tin on offer today from tesco for £4 which is about half price.
Ta ta for now

Long time no post, seriously neglected blog BUT very enriched and expanded life :o)
New boyfriend, new house, permanent job, given up smoking, rekindled my love with dance music, taken up baking, gained about a million stone, so yeah it's all been rather busy.
Does anyone else blog on their iPhone?
Here's a little something I baked for valentines day mmmmmm well some of them!
Ta ta for now xx
Because it’s easier?!?!? Now I’m not the kind of girl who does this by halves, never have done, prob never will do.
Before I launch into why, two slight detours.
I went to the gym this morning to break my Zumba virginity. Have you ever done a zumba class? It’s the most ridiculous and hilarious form of exercise I have ever partaken in. Don’t get me wrong it seemed to be a good work out judging the fact I was sweating profusely but it’s just utterly ridiculous. All hip swaying and bum shaking (or wobbling), I was crying with laughter.
The second just to share how pathetic I'm being, I was invited out to a party by an almost friend (I say almost because I've met her a couple of times out rambling and once on a rambling social evening for an hour), the fact it was a 65 year old birthday party for one of her colleagues is beside the point. I was invited out and initially said yes, and then hair/make up done about to get dressed and I became very insecure and cancelled. I feel terrified of meeting new people, getting out of my comfort zone and out into the big wide (scary) world. I feel pathetic, also I feel guilty for saying yes and then my fear taking over and cancelling at the last minute *sigh* I know I've got to do it, get out and meet people, socialise, learn how to be single, but for tonight I want to sit in my PJs (complete with a full face of make up and beautifully set hair), anyway enough of that and on with the not doing things by halves...
All change here in the Queenie household, and being off for 11 days has given me the perfect opportunity to ‘personalise’ the flat. And do I start small? Who me?
So yesterday I moved the bedroom round, had a big sort out, bought new bedding, and added the Queenie stamp. The now ex OH detested leopard print, so as you can see from the photos below I’ve added a splash or two here and there:
Well Helllllooo ladies (and gentlemen if you’re reading).
Firstly to answer Alex’s question, yes I’ll be staying in Liverpool, until at least the end of next March. 6 weeks ago I started a fixed term contract with the company I had been temping for the 8 months previous, and I :heartheartheart: my job so would be foolish to walk away from something I love to do to nothing. Plus I’m pretty much a nomad, where is home? When I think of *home* nothing comes anymore because I’ve moved about so much and my family no longer live where I grew up...but anyway I guess home is here for now, and it’s about taking the time to both add a personal touch to the flat, and begin the laborious and terrifying challenge of creating a life for myself.
What actually make the effort to meet people and make friends?!? Scary prospect, very! What if they don’t like me...the insecurity runs deep. I don’t drink which pretty much rules out the usual quick and easy way of getting to know people BUT I have joined a young persons rambling club and am slowly getting to know people through that. I guess it’s about taking risks and saying YES to life more.
But anyway...that’s not what this blog is about (not that I really know what it is about any more).
Shoes....of course, when everything else is falling apart there is always SHOES (well usually but not in my case at the moment), that and a nice cup of herbal tea.
I recently purchased a gorgeous pair of LK Bennett leopard print peep toe shoes from a charity shop while I was visiting my mum, they are a size 5...I’m a size 6. Can I squeeze my lumpy heffer feet into them...can I hell, try as I might :o( I knew at the time they were a squeeze but foolishly bought them anyway. Now they are sitting here looking all pretty and gorgeous, and I can’t even take them out to play. The sensible part of me knows I should just ebay them, the shoe princess inside cries out that I need to keep them, even if all I can do is admire and stroke. What do you think?
Long time no post, am crawling back to blogland after a loooong time away.
Life since I've been AWOL in a nutshell: laptop broke, went on holiday to dom rep, got engaged, laptop got fixed, got a second job, gave up second job when day job was made perm, mum had a failed op, gained 32lb, lost 17 of those again and counting, joined a rambling group, split up and (now ex) OH moved out 2 weeks ago, just been to my first carboot of the year, am planning to decorate the flat, am off for 11 days over easter!
And breathe.
I have been following you guys, just not posting myself, but I'm planning to blog more, I've missed it and I've missed you all. Funny how small and empty life can become when all you've really invested in is a relationship and that goes.
But anyway, I should really be getting ready for work :)

Morning everyone,
Just popping by with a quick outfit post before leaving for my train. Not knowing how to dress for the weather I've gone for layers
In
My new TopShop jacket snaffled for £6 from the charity shop on Wednesday Lunch time, quite pricey for me but I fell in love as soon as I saw it. Must remember to be careful though, it now needs a little repair work after my shoulder bag pulled off some of the beading :( so next week I’m on the hunt for some matching beads so I can make it perfect again.
Morning lovies,
I've got a couple of minutes before I leave for work so I thought I'd do a quick outfit post:
We attempted to see Inception tonight at the cinema tonight, apparently everyone in Liverpool had the same idea, and both the 7.15pm and the 8.15pm were sold out by the time we got to the front of the queue. Ah well it’ll be showing for a while and I got a chance to take some pics of my outfit and share some of my finds from the weekend.
