Christmas...HELP

I'm one of those people who LOVE's Christmas shopping but refuses to do it really early. This year my group of friends have decided to do secret Santa as there's 7 of us (Plus I need a few little bits for my mum!)! But this does mean I'm limited on my spending...which for someone who loves Christmas present shopping and going overboard is very difficult. 

I have a few ideas but I'm struggling to make them happen because of prices and things(Everything seems SO expensive when you're on budgets!) So, if anyone knows of anywhere with little gift ideas, either blog posts about them or websites or shops etc. with them on PLEASE let me know!! I'd appreciate it a lot, I just need a little inspiration!

Hope everyone is well!

Just a little life update

As far as life goes the past few weeks have been ridiculously busy! I've had so much going on, so much to do, a hell of a lot of stress and a lot of nerves. I've had a quite a bit of disappointment as well.

I started learning to drive in May and just under 4 weeks ago I took my driving test for the first time. I felt quite nervous going into it but soon relaxed. Then for my examiner to fail me on a roundabout for no apparent reason. So I was pretty gutted about that! However, I've re-booked and am retaking it next week, so fingers crossed! Especially now that I've finally bought a car!! YAAY! After my 18th birthday I had enough money to buy a car, I then came to an agreement about the insurance with my mum so I've been lucky enough to get a car, its the first big big purchase I've ever made and I'm so excited to start driving now!

If any of you have been through the university application you'll know how damn stressful it is! I sent of my UCAS application and received a couple of interviews. The first of which was my second choice university. Safe to say that was a nerve racking day and then a nerve racking wait until I heard back from them. To then find out that I hadn't got a place. Honestly nothing compares to how devastating that is, not a personal rejection from someone, not even being rejected from a job is that devastating. Unless you've been through it you honestly don't understand how bad it makes you feel. But picking yourself up from it, moving on and hoping for the best at another interview is the best thing to do!

If I got the chance to tell 12 year old me something without a doubt the first thing I would tell myself is to always be careful about who you get close to, who you trust and how attached you get to someone. I've recently come to learn that a lot of people just mess you around, drop you when they want and don't put the effort in that you do. Move on and be careful, people can be harsh.

I always feel a lot better after I've blogged.

Name change

I just thought I'd write a little post to apologise for my recent lack of blogging and things. October was super super busy and I'm still low on ideas for posts. I also haven't sat down to do a 'my week in pictures post' for a few weeks which is rubbish of me.

Anyway, I've just changed the name of my blog, not my url or anything just the main name/title. I just fancied a change and though it fit my blog a bit better, seen as I don't really have a general direction or theme, like my last name sort of suggested; that it was all lifestyle and 'diary' type things. I don't know, I like it. It's a little less cheesy than my last one.

Hope everyone is well!
