The Royal Wedding: Excited

♥ I've never really been very patriotic, (what a way to start this post.haha.) but recently the Royal Wedding has excited me. I think it's partly to do with our upcoming wedding, and that weddings in general excite me, and partly do with Kate Middleton. I really like her. I don't know why as I don't know her, and I have probably only heard her speak once, but I must admit I have a soft spot for that woman. I can relate with a faction of the nerves she must be feeling right now. I say a fraction, because no bride on this planet could be as nervous as how she must be feeling. In regards to my big day I'm terrified about walking down the aisle with close family and friends watching me, I think I would be in bits if it was the whole world. 

♥ So with the sudden burst of love for the Royal Family, I thought I'd do the only thing worth while, and paint my nails ready for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. How else would we show our respect for their big day? 

Try to look past the poop shot and look only at the nails

♥ It really is a pity that I'm at work tomorrow as I'll miss all the action, but Mike has promised to sky + all the best bits. I'm not sure if sky + -ing the Royal Wedding could be classed as disrespectful. haha.

♥ Also walking round Asda last night we came across a tin of biscuits and a box of fudge with Kate & Will's face plastered all over them, so of course I had to have them. I know deep down Mike must be having second thoughts about our wedding in relation to my recent obsession with the Royal Family, but really he should only start to worry once we have children. Haha. Nahh, I'm only joking there won't be any little Williams and Kate's from us any time soon.

♥ I'll have to leave you all now, we've got to rescue a Royal Biscuit from Mike's tea. They keep thinking they are blooming scuba divers. 

Speak Soon

Thursday's Treasures

I've been thinking lately about making my blog slightly more scheduled. Here are my thoughts behind it:

♥ My lovely readers will be more aware of what to expect from my blog on any given day

♥ I can become slightly more organised

♥ Rather than spending hours and hours obsessing over my blog, I can prioritise my time more effectively, leaving me with more time to do the other things I love.

♥ Change is good

Now I have not yet planned all the scheduled posts I would like to do, but the one that is set in stone is 'Thursday's Treasures.'

So what are 'Thursday's Treasures' I hear you ask? 

You may have noticed on tons of other fabulous blogs, either a blog love page, or a select few favourite blogs nicely positioned at the end of each post. I love this idea, but if I really love a blog I want everyone to know about it. So for me this means having a dedicated post each week for my current favourite blogs. And so Thursday's Treasures is born...

Now I've not officially been blogging for very long, but I have been a blog follower for a very long time. I love the blogging community and have found some absolutely fantastic blogs out there, some very popular, and some almost undiscovered. Each and every one of the blogs I mention here are the blogs that I adore, with amazing, beautiful people who write them.

♥ The first blog I'm going to mention is one that I only found this week. Within hours of discovering this blog I had read through every single post this blogger had ever written, and more than likely terrified the poor writer with the sheer amount of comments I left... oops.

Sunshine Sam

I hope you don't mind me using your blog header on this post

She's currently doing the 365 Challenge, so expect to see a new post by her every single day. And believe me once you've started following this woman you will love her.

♥ The second blog I want to mention is written by such a lovely person. Her outfit posts are to die for, and her pictures make me very jealous. She writes such fantastic posts, my favourite of which are here Sunday Slob posts. 

Emily Charlotte

I've been following her blog for a couple of months now and I love it. It's nice to know that as soon as I notice one of her posts on my dashboard I'm going to love it. No questions asked. 

♥ And finally the last blog I feel the need to rave about is written by the loveliest person yet. Haha. (I am rather imaginative with my descriptions today.) She always leaves the sweetest comments on my blog which make my day. I feel like I almost know this person even though I've never met her. 

Christina Maria Says..

Her posts consist of make-up reviews, hauls, fashion and if we're lucky insights into her life. I love reading her blog, and her reviews are always fantastic. I recommend you go check this blog out now. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, an I'm excited to announce that it will become a weekly feature on this blog (obviously.) There are so many wonderful blogs out there that this series could go on forever. But for now I leave you these three, as we all know... three is the magic number.

Speak Soon,

Katie 

P.S If I mention your blog here and you wish for me to remove it, please don't hesitate to contact me and I will accommodate. 

Goodbye PS3... Hello XBOX 360

Poop picture, but it does the trick

As I'm sure all of you girls out there, who have partners or brothers, or even you yourself, will know about the recent situation with the PlayStation network. If you don't know, the playstation network is what enables PS3 users to play online, and it's been down for a week. I unfortunately found out as soon as it happened... thank you Michael. He has been a nightmare for the past week, constantly checking online and watching youtube videos to try to find out more information. I've never seen anyone more obsessed. Haha. 

Today we hit that point where we/I had had enough. Once we found out that even personal account details had been hacked we decided it was time to say goodbye to the PS3 and welcome the XBOX 360 into our lives. 

Years ago we had an XBOX which we loved. We then upgraded to the 360 which was equally loved, until we got the dreaded red lights... twice! Now three years on we're back with the new an improved system. We even decided to get KINECT. Now none of this cost us a penny as we traded in the PS3 along with many games to get this. Good job really, as with our wedding fast approaching, we have little funds to go and blow on a games console. 

Mike is currently setting up the system as I type this, and I'm getting rather excited. Bless him, the lovely sweetheart that he is bought me Zumba, and soon I'm going to Zumba my butt off. Giddy. I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe I'll lose a few pounds for the big day. Maybe not. Haha. 

Boys and their Toys

 I hope he hurries up and gets it set up soon. 

Though I'm not sure when or if I'll get a go.

Anyone notice the Peter Griffin reference? Haha.

Anyone have an XBOX? 

If so can you recommend me some good girl friendly games?

Speak Soon, 

Katie

P.S I'm slightly scared of the KINECT. It keeps looking at me, and moves on it's own. I won't be sleeping downstairs any time soon.
