FRIDAY NIGHT CURRY

Hello everyone, 

Well tonight I thought I would share a little family 'tradition' with you all, as the title says: Friday Night Curry. So most Friday's, sometimes Saturday's, my dad buys the ingredients needed for the curry and then sometimes I help cook it or he stands by and instructs me on what to do. 

But hold on.. 

(Now I don't want this to sound like he cooks it all the time because that's not true, sometimes, like stated above I help cook or I cook so I learn how to cook it to the high standard that dad cooks it to and sometimes, it may be a rare occurrence but my mum cooks it too! The 'tradition' came from my mum first of all while she shared a place with a couple of people she knew.) 

yummy! ....

THURSDAY 15TH OCTOBER AND RECENT PURCHASES (PT. 3)

Hello everyone, 

A couple of days ago, in the evening, parents and I were in our nearrest Tesco doing a bit of shopping. It had occurred to me that I wanted to do a post on recent purchases and I also thought that I need to stock up on a few pairs of cosy socks so naturally I made my way over to the sock section and saw these! 

Thermals! Who doesn't need a few pairs of these in the colder, rainier months! 

1. The purple / pink and black ones are £5 (non - thermal)

2. The white and black woollen pairs are £6 (thermal with wool)

3. The purple and black "knitted"pairs are £5 (thermal)

Well while I was in the clothing section I just had to pick up an over-shirt, for those of you who know me I'm almost at an habit of having one every time I'm out shopping (however, I do refrain from buying them), in fact my first instinct is to head straight to the shops that I know have the cosy and soft ones! here's the one that I have recently added to the collection. Well I say collection... more like 5.

RECENT PURCHASES (PT. 2)

Hello everyone, 

Just a couple of things today when I took a trip into town and only had time for a look around one store before they closed for the day.  I can only apologise for the horriffic quality of these pictures they are spare of the moment ones I have been a little pushed for time over the past week or so. 

Here's what I bought in that time: 

- Military style boots from Primark are £18 -

On the way home had to have a boost of caffeine so picked up a Caramel Macchiato, one of my fave on-the-go drinks!

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SWEETS

Hello everyone, 

Well tonight I'm sitting down on my laptop browsing the web like one does, drinking a warm sweet cup of tea and I find myself needing something sweet so what do I naturally do? I go out into the kitchen raiding the cupboards and the bread-bin looking for something sweet and what do I find .... the answer, an opened pack of Werther's Originals! This had been a huge part of my sweets tops when I was younger, I remember that my mum, mostly, and other relatives used to buy these for my Granddad so I always had "a few" while I was at his! (I love these so much! Where have they been since then?) 

I can safely say that this was, is and always will be one of my finest memories of those times!

What's one of your tops sweets/candies when you were growing up? Or still love?

AUTUMN

Hello everyone,

It's almost officially October and Autumn is upon us. 

Quite suiting for an Autumn post I think!

Here are some of my fave things about the Autumn season: 

Autumn leaves 

Scooting around in the leaves 

Conkers 

Hot chocolate 

Comfort food, snacks 

Scarves, hats and boots 

Sparklers 

Fireworks 

Bonfires 

Caramel being in season 

More cosy blankets and jumpers 

The idea of Christmas soon approaching 

Evenings getting darker 

Cosy socks 

Being able to watch more films when I have the free time

Rainy days, but not downpours

Knowing Halloween is on the way even though I don't celebrate it

What are you excited for around this time of year?
