Birthday Wishlist


It's not long until my birthday so I thought after seeing many wishlists I thought that I'd do one for my birthday. As you can see I'm pretty simple really. When it comes to clothing I do love a good  cartoon character top and finding the Roald Dahl collection at Truffle Shuffle made my day! As a child I absolutely loved reading his books and the illustrations by Quentin Blake were so captivating so having it on a top is a must for me! I love a good book especially the massive animal books so having a book about David Attenborough's Africa is completely perfect for me especially with my love affair with that place! Converse are my favourite shoes and I've had 3 pairs and sadly they've started to fall apart so replacements are needed! The Top Cat purse is so nice! As a child I loved a bit of Top Cat and so this would be a great addition to my handbag. Now these Disney phone covers from RedBubble are among a list of about 20 that I would like but I narrowed it down to these as they sum me up, childlike and Disney fanatic, fantastic!

So my birthdays 17 days away and I'm really excited about it this year whether that's because of the numerous things that I'm doing to celebrate or whether it's because I'll be 21. Well whatever the reason I can't wait to rip open my cards and see what presents are hidden under the wrapping paper!

People Pleaser

I'm a people pleaser and always have been.

This came to light recently when discussing my past and things that have happened. I've always been the one to make people happy and make them smile. Even if I've been the one hurt or upset and someone I care for got upset over it, I'd be the one comforting them when it was me who needed the comforting. 

I'd rather my friends were happy than upset because its not nice to see. Sometimes I'd rather not talk about things that are upsetting me if a friend is upset and has something going on because I'd rather make sure they're okay and happy. 

I've come to realise that I should try and focus on pleasing myself and not others but after doing it for a long time it's a little difficult. I'm sure I'll get there though it may take some time.

Am I the only one who prefers their friends to be happy or is it just me? And do you have any advice on focusing on yourself instead of others?

What's on in September












It's no lie that September is my favourite month, well it is my birthday after all! My shifts at work are becoming fewer which gives me days to unwind and see friends and family which I haven't been able to do as much since mid July! 
So what's happening this month? Well it's quite busy really which is always nice and I have quite a few things to look forward to which is a bonus!

I've got my first pre birthday party with my family and some friends from uni which I'm really looking forward to. I'm going to be very hands on with it to make sure it's just how I want it and to make sure it's fun. 
Moving back to uni which I am really looking forward to because I've missed Bangor a lot and I'll be with my friends pretty much 24/7 again!
Freshers week is always fun wonder what things will happen this year!
My birthday - the big 21! which is always in freshers will be spent with my friends having a lovely chilled out day.
Cartoon character fancy dress party the day after my birthday will be good - I can't wait to see what my friends come as and I'm still undecided, typical. I'm torn between two character.
My friend will be coming to stay with me the weekend of my birthday which I'm really excited for cause she's never been so there will be more partying, yay.

Well that's everything I have planned, but no doubt there will be last minute plans cropping up along the way, even better!

What's happening this month for you? Have you got any plans that you're looking forward to?
