A collection of my favourite things from the month
of October
I’m your typical girl, who
just loves bags, shoes and accessories in general. I was given this lovely
Accessorize handbag for my birthday, which includes multiple pockets, including a special padded
pocket to pop your tablet in.
This month I’ve really been
enjoying watching Educating Yorkshire on Channel 4. You’d think working in a school would mean I wouldn’t then want
to watch a programme about the goings on in a Secondary School, but I thought
it was brilliantly put together and shows just how much work and personal
investment staff put into educating and supporting young people. I can’t wait
for another series!
I also decided to treat
myself to a couple of pairs of new shoes. I’ve been lusting over a pair of
Timberlands for years, so when I got a bit of birthday money I thought I’d pop into my
local Office and
try some on. I tried on a couple of pairs – one was more of a shoe, while the
other was a higher ankle boot. They were both comfy, but I went for the ankle
boot as it gives me a bit more support. I’ve also wanted a pair of Converse for ages, and was particularly keen on a pair of cute pink ones I kept seeing
in shop windows. However, when I went shopping I found this grey and pink pair
and couldn’t resist getting them instead. Perhaps in the Spring I will treat
myself to the pink pair too!
Things I’ve learnt this month…
+ Family are so important
+ I have some pretty special friends
+ I still manage to baffle my GP with my health!
+ I’ve discovered I actually like popcorn
+ My family are pretty lucky when it comes to pub quizzes
+ No matter how many I’ve had, I still want my Mum
with me when I have a blood test
+ Being sent/given a bunch of flowers really cheers me
up
+ Jumpers are one of my favourite items of clothing
+ Natural yoghurt and honey are a yummy combination
+ Some friendships are too one-sided
+ Sometimes you just need to put you pyjamas on and
hide from the world
+ Finding Mr Right is an impossible task
+ I’m definitely a Yorkshire girl at heart
+ If you’re going on a long train journey, always book
a seat!
What to look out for in November
Doctor Who returns to our
screens with a 50th Anniversary special on the 23rd November and I for one can’t wait! I’ve been watching it
since Christopher Ecclestone and have been trying to catch up on some of the
older episodes with my sister (who is the World’s biggest Doctor Who fan!) It
will be great seeing all of the old Doctors together in one episode and I’m
hoping for lots of the old baddies too! And for hardcore fans you can even
visit your local cinema to see the episode in 3D.
Christmas is drawing
nearer, so in November I will be hunting for an advent calendar. These days
there are so many choices – from your traditional nativity scene to the typical
chocolate one, to a beauty themed one. I’ll be doing a post soon on all the
choices out there, so keep your eyes peeled!

On the 21st November,
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will come to a cinema near you. I’ve read the
books, and I’ll admit at first I really wasn’t sure it was my kind of thing.
But I was quickly hooked and loved the first film. I’m hoping the second instalment
will bring as much action and drama as the first. Catch the trailer here.
Party season will soon be
upon us, so I’ll be using November to hunt for the perfect dress (or three!) I’ve
found a few favourites so far, but I’m sure there will be plenty more to choose
from as the month goes on.
Do you have any favourites or things
you’ve learnt in October? What are you looking forward to in November?
