Mad world ....

Sher did a madmen picture over at her sight and as I'm bored and ill I though i'd have a go to :D I love my dress :D Perfect for my picnic dontacha think :D

It never rains .....

Some of you may of noticed I have been a bit blog absent recently - I haven't been very well - the flu that I have had has caused me to develop a condition called Torticollis .. a condition that is in the neck muscles - it's pretty fair to say I have been in agony over the ;ast few days!

And have also had some other issues to deal with - that hasn't been pleasant :(

Hope to be back to my blogging state soon!

Hope everyone else is well

Love CC xXx

Pirates and Wizards!!!

Last week at work this week and we had a Pirate Party day ... but as I had been off ill the week before I didn't realise that staff were dressing up .. but I think I look a little piratey in my waistcoat anyway :D
Was a good day :D

After work today Gra and I had a date night and went to the cinema to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Loved it!!
Thought it was the best film of the series to date! Had the right amount of humour and sadness!!

Trousers: Florence and Fred @ Tesco.

P's I have no idea whats going on with the photo's tonight they have a will of there own!!!!

New Book Time ... Finally!!

Finally I got around to finishing "My sister's keeper" Loved it - although I kind of predicted the end - I wasn't sure how or when it was going to happen - and it made me sob lot's when it did!
I loved the character of Campbell and his relationship with Julia it really made the book for me and distracted from the slightly annoying portrayal of Sara!

Really want to see the film now!

So once I had finished that book and was ready to move on I was already upstairs tucked up in bed - not being near my bookshelf to choose my next one, I remembered I had a book upstairs my mum bought me back from her holiday's - which has now become my next choice ... so far so good :D.

The wedding season:
Sarah Stratford is a wedding planner hiding a rather inconvenient truth - she doesn't believe in love. Or not for herself, anyway. But as the confetti flutters away on the June breeze of yet another successful wedding she somehow finds herself agreeing to organise two more, on the same day and only two months away. Luckily Sarah has two tried and tested friends on hand to help her. Elsa, an accomplished dress designer who likes to keep a very low profile, and Bron, a multi-talented hairdresser who lives with her unreconstructed boyfriend and who'd like to go solo in more ways than one. As the big day draws near, all three women find that patience is definitely a virtue in the marriage game. And as all their working hours are spent preparing for the weddings of the year, they certainly haven't got any time to even think about love. Or have they?

.... Life goes on ......

So my first venture outside of the house for over a week was made yesterday! Still feeling a bit blah to be honest and achy .. only went to Mum and Dad's for tea - which was yummy!

Theres a place for us ...

Whilst I've been poorly I've been watching a lot of Classic Movies .. Today I watched West Side Story - or should that be sobbed my way through West Side Story!! - Love that Film!!

I love the white dress and red belt Natalie Wood wears - however I can't get a great shot of it online :(



Whilst looking I found this one that I like which is similar! I don't wear a lot of white as I tend to be a mucky pup and just know I'd spill something on it!!


The other day I watched Rear Window - The dresses Grace Kelly wears are again SO beautiful!

This one was my fave - a Yellow tea dress.

Where i've been ...

Haven't blogged for a few day as I've been quite poorly, have had a high fever, cough, stomach ache, sneezes, sweats.

So on Friday I rang the docs and they wouldn't let me have an appointment to go in as they are similar symptoms to Swine Flu!
The doc rang me back and assessed over the phone she thinks it might be Chest infection and Gastoenteritis, although there can be a possibility that it can be Swine Flu - she prescribed me antibiotics and something for my stomach.

I am SO hot it's untrue I feel like I'm burning up! However managed to go to the hairdressers today as I needed to go for wedding hair .. and to sort all that out (Blog post of what I wore, 2morro) but I am sat here now burning up again!!

Hope it goes soon!!
