Car Servicing

Can f*ck off.

I mean seriously, I paid £7500 for my car not even 2 years ago and it was brand spanking new. 

Last year I remember being pissed off at the cost of my service and this year I am even more outraged, last year all they did was wash my car. Nothing was changed and I mean nothing because it was all so new, it cost me £170.

This year for my 2 year service they want £250 as my brake fluid has to be changed.. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME FORD.

Back in March my driver door dropped and water was coming in, it was within my 3 year warranty so should have been fixed free of charge. WRONG. 

They managed to con me out of £60 because apparently it was my fault the bolts in the damn door came loose!!

Basically Ford are shit at customer services and I now have to part with another £250 of my hard earned cash. Asses. 

Rant over.

Pretty Little Liars run down

Quick history - 

I got obsessed with Pretty Little Liars in September last year. 

I watched all the available seasons in less than 2 months, on average I watched 2 episodes every weekday night. 

I love everything PLL and I could talk about it for years. 

If you follow me on Pinterest you will see my obsession there in board form. 

Onto last nights episode... WTF! ** SPOILERS AHEAD**

Kudos to Mona for going to the police station but why has she done it?!

Am I the only person who would notice someone drilling a hole through my floor?

Where is Aria's dad?

What is Emily's Mum's problem? Seriously I wanna punch her.

Oh hai Rumer Willis, are you also a lesbian who wants to get into Emily's pants?

Why was Caleb the one to tell Spencer about why Toby was in NYC and where the hell does he get the money to just nip to the big city at the drop of a hat?

WHERE IS LUCAS?!

I think that's most of my questions from last night, if you can answer any of these I will love you longtime. 

Vinylmation purchases

SO EXCITED. 

I have turned into a child this morning and got my hands on my very first Vinylmation figures, I am not going to go over board buying all of them as soon as they come out but I will be buying the ones I simply adore. 

The first of which is Cogsworth from Beauty and The Beast, my all time favourite Disney film ever. 

I picked this little guy up for $18 so around £12 including shipping from a lovely person in America. I really want to get my hands on Belle and The Beast too but I will wait until this one arrives. 

My next purchase was from the Whiskers and Tales collection where I have selected Lucifer from Cinderella. Again one of my favourite animals in Disney as he reminds me of my cat in his younger days.

Lucifer has cost me £5.89 from the same ebay seller so shipping is free! 

I've got my eyes on a few more but for some reason the Disney store UK wouldn't let me check out and I got bored of trying. I will definitely venture into every Disney store I pass to see if they have these little cuties although from some research online they aren't really available in the UK (sort it out disney!).

I am already so proud of my little collection. Pathetic I know, and yes I will be 23 in 5 months time. 

ZOMG - What are you doing here?!

I have had a lovely little surprise this morning, I have discovered that my bestest and oldest friend has just started a blog!

Send some of your love over to Lauren!

Starting Vinylmation

It seems ridiculous being the huge disney fan that I am, that I have only just discovered Vinylmation in my life. I mean seriously what have I been doing that I have missed out on all these years of fun!

I came across it all last night on the disney store and now I am going to start my collection today. There are over 9000 items on ebay and I am sure as hell going to trawl through them all until I find the ones I really want to start my collection. I will of course keep you updated as I purchase them.. 

Do you collect Vinylmation? What can you tell me about it?

Victoria's Secret, Forever 21 and Topshop haul!

Yesterday my lovely friend Lauren and I trekked off to Westfield Stratford City for the first time since it opened! It is such a long way for us to go it's basically from the furthest point of Southwest London to the furthest point of Northwest London in one trip from door to door. It took us 1 hour 20 minutes each way on the non air conditioned tube but we shopped. We shopped for 6 hours and I genuinely think 2 of them were in Forever 21. 

Here are the goodies I picked up. 

We started in Victoria's Secret because I wanted a PINK hoodie, sadly this VS doesn't have a PINK section so I will have to wait until I am near bond street but I did pick up 4 little body mists. 

I am a huge sucker for the VS perfumes and scents and I could easily spend hundreds of pounds on them all however these adorable little body mists were 75% off ... and £1.50 each!!!

WHAT THE HELL!!

That basically just made my day. 

Next up was Forever 21 where we tackled each floor individually and then re-grouped to discuss what we found, these are the bits I came away with. 

The jewelry was a little overwhelming, there was so damn much of it that it was hard to know where to start. I didn't find much that I liked but when I saw this little necklace I just fell in love. Tiny little flowers with lilac gems and just perfect for any outfit that needs a little sparkle.

Another painfully cute top, a little difficult to take on and off as the zip runs up the spine but with a little bending it can be done on your own. This little peplum blouse has a peter pan collar and little pearl buttons on the sleeves. Impossible to walk away from and I think it was under £15.

Next up are 2 summer purchases, since we have had some amazing weather in England for the past month I have realised I don't have many pairs of shorts. When I saw these two pairs I couldn't get over how cute they were, both completely different but perfect for my wardrobe. They aren't too short either, as you all know I detest knicker shorts where butt cheeks can be seen and although these are short shorts they still cover everything nicely. Both pairs also under £17 each. 

Finally was Topshop, I was looking for the own brand disco pants which I found in the sale rail. Tried them on and I have never seen something so unflattering ever. I also tried on a dress which I loved but at £32 I didn't really want to splash the cash on a simple jersey sundress.. maybe my nice boyfriend will buy it for me... or maybe not. I did however find some real bargains in the sale jewelry section.

I don't really understand how they can be so cheap as the bangle (which I have on today, see outfits of the week) was £18 full price and I picked it up for £3. I mean WTF?!

The necklace which is a long line necklace with different beads and charms was £22 down to £2!! Love them both and at only £5 for 2 I couldn't let the queue put me off getting them.

Now I know a few weeks ago I posted about saving money and getting you guys to tell me off if I spent anything but I genuinely do think I have an addiction to shopping so I am allowing myself £100 every month to spend on stuff I want and don't need. All of this came to £80 which is not bad at all considering if it was all full price I would be nearing £150. 

I am still saving and I will give you an update on all things like that soon, promise :)

Outfits of the week

Sorry this is late but my brain had a malfunction last week and decided either to delete the photos I took or just not take the pictures... I only have 4 outfits for you because of this including what I have on today. So without further ado here they are. 

Last week there was a slight drop in temperature and the aircon was fixed in my office HOORAH! Therefore I had the option to wear something that wasn't a dress or skirt. 

I picked up these capri trousers from Next last year, they are a pale pink and so freaking soft. Perfect length for when it isn't too hot and they go with a surprising amount of things. I teamed them with a standard navy vest top and my trusty Accessorize flip flops!

Next up is this little 'I woke up late and don't give a crap' combo. It is my trusty Tesco black jersey maxi skirt which is probably one of the best purchases I ever made. It can be worn with anything and I am especially loving it with crop tops this year, however I don't want to wear crop tops to work as I think people would have a heart attack so I went for this ribbed vest top in a coral colour from Red Herring at debenhams. Again I think I have my Accessorize flip flops on.. 

Onto my casual Fridays ensemble, I think I have probably shown you this outfit before as it is so comfy and I love green. My top is from Next it is one of their basic slouchy tops and cost £12 and is probably one of the most comfortable tops I own. My shorts are from New Look and I live in them during the summer, they are long enough that I don't feel inappropriate in front of children and old men so thumbs up there for not having my ass hanging out ;)

Finally onto today, I completely forgot I bought this top back before my boyfriend left his job in Next. Oh how I love it, I am a sucker for collars I just love them so this outfit makes me very happy. I have teamed it with my M&S black jeans and black vans which you can't see sadly. 

I have also got on a gold bangle from Topshop that I bought yesterday (haul is coming today) and put my hair in a high pony as I couldn't be bothered to re-straighten it.

Fail

Sorry everything has been so quite this week! I have been really busy at work and outside of work, I proooomise next week I will have some more posts for you including my outfits of the week and reviews of various bits I have picked up recently!

Have a smashing weekend chicklings :) <3

Road-trip Planning

Now then I mentioned back in my money saving post (I think) that I am planning a road trip for next year to go to the west coast of America. Yesterday a lot of plans fell into place and we seem to have some how planned a route. It is as follows - 

San Francisco to Yosemite

Yosemite to Los Angles

Los Angles to Las Vegas

Las Vegas to The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon to Phoenix

All in two weeks. We will be spending about 3 days in each big city and then 1 night in the beauty spots. 

I am looking for things to do, places to see etc. so if you know anywhere along the west coast that is a must see please please please leave a comment below! This is going to be my last big blow out holiday before buying a house and we want to make it one to remember. 

Prince George

I have been holding off on my post about the Royal Baby as it has just been everywhere. Literally the TV gave up showing TV shows and just showed us news correspondents on loop saying a baby boy has been born for all of Monday night. 

Don't get me wrong I am a huge royalist but by 10pm on Monday I was ready to let Kate & Wills have their privacy with their new little person and go back to watching 90210 on catchup. However I was very excited when they announced our future king's name last night and on that note I say..

Welcome to the world Prince George Alexander Louis! You have the most awesome family ever and I can't wait to see you grow up!

China Glaze & OPI combo

I know I am meant to be saving money, and I am but sometimes we all need a little pick me up... and mine were these two new nail polishes that I ordered from Amazon on Wednesday.

The first is from China Glaze and it is their 2012 summer neon collection in 'Pool Party'. Love at first paint, I have never used China Glaze before and already I know I will be buying thousands of colours. The formula was insanely good, see below and this was only two coats!!

Flash on

Flash off

The other purchase was one of the 'Great and powerful Oz' collection from OPI. This is 'Lights Emerald City' and I know it looks slightly off with 'Pool Party' because the blue holographic style glitter pieces have turned gold when mixed with the neon coral. I think that this would look amazing over a white or blue and I can't wait to try it. I wasn't blown away by the glitter distribution as I had to move some of the white bits around but that might just be because it is over neon coral.. 

Anyway I love them both.. ALOT.

Keeping cats cool in the heatwave

I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned this before but I have a pet cat. His name is Jester and I have had him since I was 3, this year he hit 19 years old and I know he will die one day and my life will crumble as I don't know life without his sweet tuna breath so I am doing everything in my power to keep him happy and healthy. 

This is hard when it is 32 degrees centigrade outside and we don't have aircon inside so how do I keep him comfortable I hear you ask.. and the answer is soaking him to the skin in the evenings. 

I am not joking, every night this week I have sat with him in the garden with the hose and soaked him to the bone, now I know a lot of cats would run and hide at the sound of water but he is so hot he just sits and purs whilst I rub the water into his fur. 

This just proves that elderly cats are struggling at the moment, he is also a little bit blind so he struggles to see water in a water bowl so we have filled up lots of pots and buckets around the garden so that he has a constant supply of water. 

I'm not sure why I wrote this post mainly I think to remind everyone that if we are hot, our pets with fur who are used to nothing hotter than 25 degrees centigrade are even hotter right now and we need to help out furry friends out. 

Jester mid wash

Outfits of the week

It's that time again, time to recap the outfits I have worn this week so far. 

It hit about 31 degrees centigrade on Monday so I didn't care what I was wearing as long as it was cool. This dress is from ASOS petite range, I got it last year in the sales, I think it was around the £11 mark which is fine in my book.

 I teamed it with my Accessorize flip flops and the dress itself actually came with the belt. 

My fake wayfarers are also from ASOS and cost £12, I think this is pair number 4 of these glasses as I am constantly losing/breaking/scratching them.

I could never have designer sunglasses..  

 Tuesday again was another very hot day. I actually forgot to take a photo in the morning so this was me on the sofa at 8pm being too lazy to get up and walk to my mirror. ANYWAY this top is a standard tank top from H&M cost about £3 and my skirt is from River Island a few years a go. It is one of their full skater skirts and I actually have this in white too. 

I adore these skirts completely, they are so feminine and cool for summer days. If you can get your hands on one in the sale I would say do it!

Wednesday and you have seen this dress before so there isn't a huge amount for me to say about it. This time I teamed it with some navy espadrilles from Faith at Debenhams to try and keep my feet cool at work. Air con is still broken so at the moment its more about staying cool than fashion.  

Thursday I opted for another tank-top/skirt combo (ignore the pink lanyard it's my key for work). My skirt I picked up in the River Island sale back in March, I am such a sale shopper I never realised! I think this white tank top is from New Look, probs about 7 years old. 

Hooray for wearing different flip flops though! These are the leather ones you can pick up in Accessorize and guess what.. I got them in the sale last year also, they cost me £4.50 down from £20 not bad if you ask me. My hair was just down and loose, another bid to avoid over heating. 

And finally we are onto today (Friday) YAY!!

Only 7 more hours of sitting in a boiling office with no aircon, I think my 'I don't give a fuck' attitude has rubbed off on my clothes today. I have opted for my trusty Warehouse 'aztec burnout' tee .. that I got in the sale last year. I love this top so much, it's so soft and so lovely and you can wear it any season. Styled it with my standard jean shorts from New Look, again these shorts are great for places that you can't wear/dont want to wear hot pants to. I currently hate this trend of walking round in crop tops and knicker shorts, I thought women were smarter than putting it all on display and looking like hookers but clearly not. Anyway that is a rant for another day!

Another pair of Accessorize flipflops, they are navy and white striped foam ones. 

New books!

I am a total bookworm, I get sucked in and disappear off to my dream worlds for hours on end. 

Recently though I have been struggling to find a good series that will keep me interested for days, I love nothing more than starting a book at 9am and finding myself still reading at 4pm. On Tuesday I just happened to be walking past a Waterstones book store and just couldn't help myself.. 

They were buy one get one half price and by two of my favourite authors. I have already started reading 'Revenge wears Prada' and so far it is really good, got sucked into it last night and was reading a little too late on a work night. 

'About a girl' is written by Lindsey Kelk who is just amazing if you like chicklit, I almost had to stop myself buying this because I want to save it for my holiday but I know it will taunt me on my bookshelf and I will cave in and pick it up. 

I have also purchased 'Gone Girl' and 'The Spectacular Now' as recommended to read from Buzzfeed before the film comes out. Definately got my book worm on atm. 

What are your summer books? Any amazing reads you want to recommend to me?

Hot in Surrey!

Feels like only yesterday I was complaining about the lack of heat in England but my gosh has it turned itself around. 

Today we are set to hit 32 degrees centigrade and when you aren't used to the heat, don't have air-con or a pool it is hard work just staying awake!  

Currently in my office it has hit 30 and it's 11am our air-con is broken.

I will have melted before the end of the day I swear. 

Cory Monteith

I am a huge Glee fan, so waking up to text messages from two of my closest friends telling me Cory was dead was a huge shock to the system. 

I didn't know Cory, nor do I know his family or friends or anyone who has ever met him yet I think anyone who has watched him on TV for the past four years feel like they have lost someone that was their friend. Someone to cheer them up on bad days and to make them laugh. 

I wanted to watch Finn and Rachel get married and have kids and be a little Glee family forever. I wanted to see Cory and Lea do that even more than their Glee characters. 

This is a sad, sad time for anyone who knew or watched him.

RIP Cory, the world has lost another beautiful soul too soon. 

Best websites to rest your head

I love BuzzFeed. Can't get enough of that site, it is just all kinds of awesome and today they had a post called '35 Random Corners Of The Internet You Should Visit When You Need A Break' and seriously I love them already. 

I thought I would share the post with you because sometimes we all need a break.

My personal favourite is 'Paint a Nebula' <3

Michael Buble @ The O2 on Wednesday 10th July

OMG

OMG

OMG

I have loved Michael Buble for a long time, I have been listening to him for years and I just love everything about him. 

When tickets for his 'To Be Loved' tour went on sale in November 2012 I decided I would pay anything up to £100 per seat to see him. Tickets were £85, we sat towards the back on the first level in block 103 (if you want to look it up) and it was hands down the best live performance I have seen of anything ever. 

Mr Buble sounds 30 times better in real life than on his CDs, he is hilarious and doesn't take himself too seriously. He told us to get up and dance and sing our hearts out and we did.

He was supported by Naturally 7 who are also an insanely good band, they are an acapella group from New York City and you will be amazed at the noises they can make. 

It was an amazing evening and here are some snaps I took, if you want to see some video footage go onto YouTube and type in Michael Buble O2 2013 there are loads of video that will show you just a fraction of how amazing that man is. 

Naturally 7

Buble - To Be Loved Tour

Stage B in front of us

Stage B - Buble & Naturally 7

Singing 'All you need is love'

If you are going to his tour make sure you don't leave the first time the lights go down, he comes back and makes the evening 50 million times better. Honestly worth every penny, and I will be at his next tour with bells on!

Outfits of the week

For some reason I seem to have 6 outfits even though I only take photos 5 days a week.. not sure how that happened but here are my outfits of the week. 

I have talked about this dress before, it's from Vero Moda at ASOS. It was around £14 I think but you can now pick it up for about £8 or something ridiculous! The cardigan is jersey and super light weight, again from ASOS but about 6 years ago... I wore my hair in a tight top bun which you can't see (bad photography skills there)! Perfect summer outfit, love this.  

This is one of my favourite outfits in my wardrobe at the moment. The pinafore dress is from Miss Selfridge and it wasn't cheap, I think I shelled out about £35 for it back in March. Of course it went into sale about a week after I bought it but c'est la vie! I love it. Underneath is a plain white tee from Red Herring and I am wearing accessorize flip flops.. also worn in the outfit above. 

I think this outfit must have slipped through the net from last week, it is a bog standard peplum top from Dorothy Perkins with my Monsoon trousers I have talked about a lot before. I love the peplum trend, gives a nice break from boring t-shirts!

Here we can finally see my beautiful Zara bag I picked up at the weekend. Wearing it with a skater style dress from Dorothy Perkins, I love their skater dresses they are beyond comfy and quite weighted so they don't blow up in the wind. At first I wasn't sure if the bag went with this outfit but I decided I liked the print with neon. I am also wearing the same damn Accessorize flip flops.. need some new ones I think. 

Another pretty standard work outfit. My top is from Tescos last year, I have to say it has actually been a great work wear addition to my wardrobe as it doesn't need ironing and can be winter or summer. I always check Tescos for these kinds of tops, at £12 they are a real steal too. Trousers are Monsoon and pumps are Miss Selfridge again..

Finally onto today's outfit. It is casual Friday at work and as there is promise of the sunshine coming out I have opted for denim shorts from New Look, my top is from Next and it is neon pink spotted, accessorised with my Zara bag and Accessorize flip flops.. 

My hair seems to have been playing fair most of this week and just waving itself and chilling on my shoulders which is a nice change to the fight we usually have. My makeup has also been very minimal with mascara and lip balm being the most I am wearing in the hot weather. 

Product of the month

We are well into July now, I actually cannot believe it is the 10th already! And Britain has been having this lush heatwave for almost 10 days now. I am not one to ever complain about the heat as I love the sunshine but with this in mind we need to be taking care of our skin and boy have I hit the mother-load. 

I am terrible at moisturising (hence trying the new in shower moisturiser) because it makes me hot and sticky and then I don't want to get dressed but after a Saturday of lying in the sun I knew I needed to feed my skin a little. So I did with the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration after sun, it is the best invention ever. 

It is half gel and half cream in one bottle so when you squeeze some out you get half and half, it doesn't make you hot, it doesn't make you sticky just a happy moisturised little person. 

That is why it is my product of the month, it is usually around the £12 mark which is way too pricey for me but currently in Boots and Tescos you can pick it up for £6! I have 3 bottles, originally I had one I got for my holiday but I had to get some whilst the offer was on. 

ITS JUST SO GOOD! I thoroughly recommend picking one up, even if you are just sunning yourself in Britain it really helps heal your skin and pro-long your tan. Amazing all round.

Zara/Topshop/GAP Haul

As promised here are some snaps of the items I picked up on my last shopping trip of the season.

This beautiful bag from Zara. Completely obsessed with it and I have already swapped all of my stuff into it. It is the perfect size and length for me and only £19.99! BARGAIN,

Next up is this top also from Zara, it was only £5.99 in the sale. Perfect slouchy top, it will probably become a skating top/throw on when I can't be bothered. I think the stars add a little something to what is a bog standard black tee. 

Then we went into GAP - only recently have I discovered my love for this store. It's really good quality stuff (apart from their cardigans which stretch insanely big after washing) but these thick jersey style shorts will be perfect for summer. A really great alternative to all my denim shorts, also only £7.99.

Another GAP purchase. I have had my eyes on these jeans since February when I went to Bluewater. They just happened to be the last pair and in my size, winner all round! Oh and did I mention they were £45 down to £9.99.. seriously awesome. 

My final purchase of the day were these trousers from Topshop. I have been looking at printed trousers thinking 'maybeee' for a few months now but when I went into Topshop and saw these I fell in love. They will be amazing for my holiday as they are super light weight, I will probably wear them on the aeroplane (9 hour flight! Ahhhh) as they have an elasticated waist and I always get cold when flying. Not the cheapest at £28 but by far not the most expensive printed trousers I have seen this year. 

Have you guys been shopping this summer? Picked up any good deals?

My last money spend of the month!

I am in a constant fight with myself to save money. My left half wants to spend and my right half wants to save. It's hard resisting the urge to click on those e-mails containing discount codes and offers that come through every morning but as of today I am spending nothing. Apart from food and petrol but I need those. Oh and something from the Michael Buble tour tomorrow, possibly.. 

But yes I am saving. I am planning to go on 4 trips next year so I need to seriously rub my pennies together and hope that they multiply or just stop spending. With this in mind I bought one last thing before the big save of Summer 2013 and it was... 

Urban Decay's Naked Palette! AT LAST!! There was finally an offer I couldn't refuse, £30 at Debenhams for one week only! That's a huge saving of £6! You never get that on makeup so I had to get it. 

Ask any of my friends, I have been umming and arring over this palette for nearing a year now but it never seemed to be a big enough discount, at £30 it is the most I was ever willing to spend on it but I am so happy and I can't wait for it to be delivered later this week. Super exciting! I will of course post my thoughts about it on here as soon as I can. 

If you are curious about my saving plans keep reading.. if not I will see you next blog post!

So I suck at saving money in the long term. I am okay if it's something only 2-3 months away but I am now at the point in my life where I need to start putting away as much money as possible so that I can buy a house in the next few years. 

This is terrifying, it's only recently I have really learnt about mortgages, how much running a house costs etc. so I am on a mission to save about £6000 per year towards my house. 

This is going to be really f*king hard! That's £500 a month which takes a HUGE lump out of my payslip and after the rent I currently pay my parents, my phone bill and my car insurance I will be left with peanuts. Not to mention also saving for my trips away next year but still if it was easy everyone would be doing it!

Instead of online shopping I will be doing more blogging to keep my hands busy and I won't be doing any real shopping in real shops unless 100% necessary. My boyfriend is a real stinge when it comes to money so he will be helping me in the quest to not spend any cash which is a huuuuuuuuuuge help. 

I am asking all of you to tell me off *if* I crack and spend anything, seriously fill the comments with capslock shouting at me to return it and be strong because lets face it what is the point in having lots of stuff if you don't have a roof over your head?

I have budgeted myself to £200 a month which is £50 a week to cover food and petrol and the rest of my wage slip will be going into various savings accounts as of July 26th. 

I am at the point where I am wishing myself good luck because this is going to SUCK.

What's in my purse?

I love watching all the YouTube video's of 'What's in my bag?' but I also think some really interesting things can be found in our purses and wallets so here is my 'What's in my purse?' post for you all to see. 

So first up this is my purse, it came from a leather shop in Tuscany, Italy last year. It cost me €28 and it still looks new, probably the best money I have ever spent and I will keep this until it falls apart. 

This is my purse open (duh) so first up I have a lot of cards, lots of loyalty and various others so I will only tell you about the interesting ones. My debit card is Barclays as you can see and I did their 'put your photo on your card' thing so I have Times Square.. I would show you but then you all would know my bank details so no. 

One of my favourite cards in my purse is my Vue Cinemas super saver Tuesday card, I can basically go and see any film for £5.95 on a Tuesday (£6.95 if it's 3D). I cannot tell you how much I love this deal, I hate spending £10+ on going to the cinema especially as that's over £20 for 2 people. I would rather buy a dvd. So yeah love this, if you have a local view get this card, it's free!

Next up is my First Aider card, I had to do the training through work. I am really glad I did even though it will be terrifying if I ever have to put it into action I have the chance to save someones life and that makes me feel good. 

Nandos card. Who doesn't have one?!

I stole this out of a wallet in River Island when I was 17. I was obsessed with playboy bunnies and wanted to be one, I even got the official costume from Ann Summers for a fancy dress party which set me back £55. Still I loved it (kind of still do) so I keep this in my purse as a little reminder to be a bit wild sometimes. 

As you can see this came free with Elle magazine, valid for a year. I keep it on me at all times just in case I find something in KG that I like. 

 Now the next 3 cards hold large amounts of sentimental value to me. The first is my late Grandad's business card, I just like having something of him with me at all times.

On top of that is a pretty beaten up Joker card. An old friend was obsessed with The Dark Knight when it came out and he used to leave Joker cards everywhere. Again a reminder of being a teenager and to embrace the weirdness of life. 

Finally are my metro cards from the first time my boyfriend and I went to New York together. As you can see by the date it was the 1st November 2010, feels like only yesterday but it's almost 3 years since that holiday.

That's it! My purse also has lots of Tesco and Sainsbury's coupons for saving money as well as a dentist appointment card.. Ooh the excitement!

Do you guys carry sentimental things with you? Is your purse a mess? Let me know in the comments!
