New: Gabriella's Primark Collection 2016

When Gabby (velvetgh0st) announced she was bringing out a new collection with Primark I was so excited! Then she started uploading sneek peek photos on her Instagram and I just got even more excited. 

I got a kitten!!!

So if you didn't know, I absolutely love cats and have grown up with cats my whole life. When I moved in with my boyfriend I was gutted we couldn't have our own cat as he is allergic to them.

50 Things That Make Me Happy Tag

1. My Cat Pepper

2. My Family

3. My Friends

R.I.P Tom

                                        

A bit of a different post today and not a very happy one. My little kitten Tom was unfortunately knocked down the other night by a car who by the way didn't stop. That makes me so angry how someone can hit an animal (my mistake of course) and just leave it lying at the side of the road helpless! 

Myself and my family are absolutely heart broken for the loss of our little man. He was only 5/6 months old and we hadn't had him for all that long. He had just started getting to outside to play and obviously was very unlucky.

A woman who saw the accident happen very kindly pulled over and got out of her car to help him. Another man who stopped in his van also got out to help. He even took a piece of old carpet he had in his van and put it in the lady's car so she could lie Tom down on it while she drove him to a vet near by. I cannot be more thankful to this man and woman. 

I don't know what brought me to write about him on my blog but I feel I needed to. 

I know some people will think "for goodness sake he's just a cat" but for me he was part of our family! He was still so young and didn't get to live his life for long. Cats are everything to me so it's a tough time.

R.I.P little one.

Hiya! Just a quick post today to show off my new bargain find from B&M. I saw this on Becca's blog, who is one of my fave YouTubers, and I fell in love with it! I was so shocked when I found out where it was from as it looks like something you would find in the Next Home department. This was only £14.99 which I think is amazing! I love all the different little departments in it which I just put some of my favourite nail polishes on them and some perfumes. I also got the Katy Perry 'Purr' perfume from B&M which was also another bargain at just £5! It is only a 15ml bottle but it's perfect for throwing in my bag.

Am I crazy?

I know what you're thinking right now.....why the hell have I bought a Christmas jumper when it's only October? Haha! Well you see... I always seem to miss the opportunity to get one so this year I thought I'd be extra organised and get one whilst I could! Primark have got all their Christmas stuff in including this jumper! They have other ones but this one was my fave because of course it's got a cat on it (if you didn't know I am a cat lady and am probably gonna grow old on my own with 9 cats haha!). So if you're thinking about doing the whole "Who has the best Christmas jumper" thing this year then I would recommend to get yours while you can as these will sell out so fast! They're not that expensive either it was £12 which isn't too bad :)

Cat Christmas Jumper - Primark £12.00
