It's been a while...and I don't really have any good news to report back with! Spent last weekend in London where I seemed to develop the onset of tonsillitis - fast forward a week and a visit to the doctor's and I'm now in the middle of my course of taking Penicillin. It's 8 pills a day, they make you constantly nauseous and they're tricky to calculate your eating around, but god they're effective - within 2 days of the course I could start to drink, eat, move my neck and taste my food - without absolute agony.

Lots of things seem to have gone down-hill lately.. :(

The month of change...

It's been a while since I posted anything - been mega busy and so much has changed over the last couple of months... 

The weekend just gone has been spent in London to see my boyfriend. My eldest sister is currently living in Camden so I travelled down on the train with her to Paddington the Friday evening where I'm sure we bored anyone around us with shallow girly nattering haha.

Saturday my boyfriend & I popped down to Oxford St, where I ventured into House of Fraser to get the obligatory Urban Decay 'Naked' eye-shadow palette.

 

I am more than pleased with this purchase...you can see which of the colours I've already dug into here haha. The palette also comes with a brown & black eyeliner (with really good intensity) and an eye-shadow primer. It is definitely worth the £27 as you really wouldn't need to carry around any other colours for a nude look or for building up to a smokey-eye.

Sunday was spent in Camden and by the end of the day we were completely knackered. I wish I'd taken my Canon with me as this weekend would have made for so many good pictures to remember it by. Loads of the punks there reminded me of a biro drawing I did a few years ago for an art proj -

All in all this weekend has been the best in a long while. :-)
