What a sad sad moment :-(

When your hear that dreaded rip in your favourite jeans that you wear everyday even though you have a wardrobe full of other jeans that you are waiting to fit into/waiting for your legs to grow or shrink/or simply waiting until you actually like the horrendous things (whatever possessed you to buy them?) 

Then it is that awful decision time. Can you get away with the rip in the crotch? Or is it time to put them in the pile of your other old favourites that you cannot bear to throw away? 

I hate choosing jeans due to my little short stumps that are apparently legs. 

The jeans I am currently mourning over were New Look jeans, that I believe they have stopped making and replaced with these. Most New Look stores do not stock these jeans for stumpies, so I have to order them. I feel like I need a change though. Do any of you have any recommendations for 28 inch jeans? :-)

In the meantime a serious bit of lusting over jeans and longer legs.

What is that... an Apple Television????

Not the Apple kind you are thinking...

I recently stumbled upon a shop that made me more excited than when I use to go to Toys "R" Us as a treat if I was good. Hannspree have the most super duper amazing televisions I have ever seen, click here to view the entire range. 

28" Apple Television- £249.00

19" Animal Televisions £199.00

I am in love with all these television, and very very tempted to make a purchase as a treat with my first wages as...

a) I do not have a television here in London, as the one in my bedroom at home is a little tiny screen in a hugeeeee box with a video player built in that does not even work :-(. 

b) My mum bought her first telly with her "first pay packet" when her profession was chief dinosaur hunter. She still has it in her room now, and every time someone moans about work or money we all know the "first pay packet and the telly" story is coming.  I feel I should carry on the tradition and bore my family to death about my first telly. 

But which one???? Which is your favourite? I have to admit I have a bit of a soft spot for the pink sparkly squishy crab. 

Whilst we are talking TV's, have you seen New Girl? It is a new US comedy  on Channel 4 starring Zooey Deschanel (you must be crazy if you do not love her) she moves in with three random guys after a break up and we get to see how they get along. This series has such a simple idea to it, yet is strangely addictive and entertaining. Definitely go peep at the few episodes that are available on 4oD.

Calling all Hamster Professionals

Dear Hamster expert (yes that means you I hope)

I would not ask such a favour if I was not desperate. But how oh how can you make a hamster stop chewing the carpet? 

This is Zebedeee's most favourite activity in the whole wide world, and the poor carpets least favourite past time. I have done some internet research on the matter and thought I would give you an insight into methods I have tried so that you can tell me where I am going wrong and how to fix this problem before my hair goes grey. 

1.  Cover the area with something- she chews next to it or moves it. 

2. Completely barricade the area- she busts her way in and makes a lot of mess chewing the boxes. 

3. Tape the carpet- she chews the carpet and the tape and I worry it will all get stuck in her pouch! 

4. Putting her in a ball- she gives me these "Mummy let me out and I promise to never chew the carpet again" eyes (this promise never ever lasts). 

5. Kinder egg distraction- only works until all the kinder eggs have been hidden under the bed and I cannot find them. 

6. Bribery with any type of food- works until she has snatched the food and stuffed it in her pouch. 

7. Making trails away from the most tasty carpet area- I cannot let her eat her favourite drops all day long even though she would love it.  

I have even tried blowing air on her and flicking her with water which I think she quite enjoys (and makes me feel mean) as it does not stop the destructive little face.  The only things I have read and not tried for obvious reasons are a) removing the carpet and b) putting vinegar on the carpet. 

Please please please help us.

A sneaky snippet...

Of what I have been doing besides blogging (and working). 

Playing with Dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum. 

Drinking a lot of tea and coffee, and eating lots of cake. 

Having my first sneaky snog with my friend Bakey :-P 

Finding this mess in my handbag, obviously someone else had tried to get the surprise from the Kinder Egg before I did.

Being absolutely amazed how they fit this giant in the tiny egg!

Guilty looking?

An Outing to Harrods

I am sure you have heard of Harrods, but if not it is a huge department store in London. I think they sell everything you could ever need in life. I find I visit the store not to spend my money on some of their rather  extravagant prices but to explore and decide on all the things I would buy when I win the lottery (it is always best to be prepared). 

My favourite bit is the pet department. Where you can...

a) Visit the Pet Spa- I saw a rather angry looking cat with his hair blowing in all directions sat in a glass box. I would imagine from looking at their Spa treatments he was having a "wash and fluff". There was also a dog with the waggliest tail ever enjoying a haircut. 

b) Look at the puppies and cry because they are SO adorable and expensive. They just so happened to have.... Miniature Daschund Puppies. Which if you read this post you can imagine how excited I was. Sorry for the picture quality, it was through glass but the cuteness makes up for it. Sadly I walked away puppyless because they were £1700 each!!!!! Although I was willing to never eat or wear clothes again. 

c) Browse the adorable dog outfits.

My second favourite bit of Harrods is the food court. Where I could not resist these Macaroons. They were absolutely delicious, and there were so many flavours to choose from!

This was a beautiful secret staircase we found, there was no one else using it despite Harrods being rammed with people! 

A quick story for you. Once upon a time in Harrods I found myself trying on a pair of beautiful Vivienne Westwood heels that were in the sale. Luckily for my battered debit card they did not fit properly. Whilst walking around doing an awkward test drive in one heel and one flat boot hoping the shoe would magically fit like Cinderella... I saw a very well dressed woman pick up my boot and start looking at it! These boots were only about £12 in the sale from New Look, this really made me chuckle however it was slightly awkward when she saw the other boot on my foot. The End.

A present game???

Now I know Christmas posts should be well and truely over. BUTTTT...

I had a late Christmas with my Boyfriend, so I missed out on the "appropriate christmas blogging time" Sorry! But I thought his idea for my presents was very exciting, and I thought some of you may like to try it in the future. I definitely will. 

The instructions

In a muddle

Solved :-)

I have to admit it was fun trying to find the message, and made me very excited indeed. It was much more exciting than just ripping them open in any order. I promise not to post anything Christmas related till at least October :-P

I am in love with Sausage Dogs.

I am sure I have mentioned this before but I am madly deeply crazily in love with sausage dogs. Now I am not a huge dog fan. I am definitely a cat person. But there is something about those stumpy little legs, and the funny bounce when they run that makes me go weak at the knees. 

Since my dreams of owning my very own Sausage dog who shall be named Waddleton Boots are far off in the future. I am instead lusting over alternatives. 

ASOS- £30.00 Woof

River Island- £15.00 Woof

I am not sure many dogs approve of their human wearing this!

ASOS- £5.00 (On Sale) Woof

Yumi- £35.00 Woof

This is such a cute shirt, and can also be purchased from New Look! 

Kate Garey- £24.99 (On Sale) Woof

Possibly the cutest bag ever! 

Kate Garey- £8.00 (On Sale)  

All of Kate Garey's items are beautiful, I can barely contain my excitement on the website. 

Dorothy Perkins- £17.00 (On Sale) Woof

Who can resist a bargain like this one?

New Look- £1.99 Woof  

I absolutely love these little sausage dogs wearing their Wheres Wally outfits! We have a bit of a family joke about Wheres Wally- my sister's boyfriend is an excellent lookalike (Hopefully he shall never see me admit this). 

JOY- £45.00 Woof 

This dog goes alllllllll the way round the back. 

If you would like to have a better look at these items- which of course you should. Please click the Woof's :-) Also if you find any of these items in lost property bins or anything, feel free to forward them my way!
