Hi, I'm Demi, I'm 23. I come on here to ramble about my latest thoughts on life and what I'm getting up to in mine.

What's on my countdown list?...


Before I got an iPhone, I'd never used a countdown app in my life but it almost seems obligatory to have one when you have an iPhone, so I got one...

And I actually do quite like using it. I find it fun,and it is just really helpful showing you clearly how long you have until a certain event. I like it especially when you have a few countdowns in a row (making you look busy) it's nice knowing you have things coming up that you can look forward to.

So first thing on my Countdown is...

My driving test - I'm not telling you when it is, but the reason I'm looking forward to it (slightly) is because there have been two cancellations so I've managed to bring it forward and now don't have wait as long,which is what I was most annoyed about after failing my previous one - having to wait nearly 3 months to re-take it. If I pass it will be the biggest relief ever, I feel like I have been learning for years and years!

My Holiday to Majorca  - Currently 79 days away. Ever since it has been booked,I've not been looking forward to it that much,only because it has been so far in future it hasn't felt like I'm actually going away. All of a sudden I am excited. Yayyyy!! I think some of it is to do with the fact that everywhere you look there is pictures of people on their holidays and I just think I am actually going away as well! Also I have already got 3 bikinis..but as I keep saying I have got to start buying holiday stuff now because by the time I go the shops will have already started bringing winter stuff out.

Imagine Dragons Concert at the O2 - Currently 131 days away. Now this one is a present from me to my boyfriend for his birthday, and I'm going with him so that is why it's on my list. Not a huge ID fan but I know a few songs so I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not about getting to 20 years old and saying you've only seen an S Club 7 concert is it? ;) So I thought I would change that,but annoyingly he sort ruined the surprise and I had to tell him before he bought the tickets himself :') 

Most of all though, what I am looking forward to is James coming back from Australia. I have missed him so much, I've never wanted to see a person so badly! We had never spent more than 5 days apart and sometimes even that was like "Whyyyyyy? :(" so going from that straight into 3 weeks was tough. I have found that it makes you really appreciate the other person and makes you want to make the most of the time you have together. It feels like he has been away for over a month. My friend's boyfriend goes away for months at a time with very little or no contact,I don't know how she does it sometimes. 

What are you looking forward to?

6 Things I'm happy about this week

Not my own image, but I love this little saying.

I just want to share a few things that have happened in the past week that I am grateful and happy for.

So,

1 - I have drunk lots of water, and not just this week either, in general I drink it a lot more than I used to,quite often I will go for water and not anything fizzy,which is good obviously. So I'm happy that I've started doing this,without even realising really. I just used to think it was so plain and tasteless (which it is) but I drink it because I enjoy my food so much I don't want to bloat myself,and not be able to eat my meal. I don't crave fizzy drinks anywhere near as much as I used too.

2 - I had lots of photos on my phone of recent events,that I kept looking at and thought I should get them printed out,and not have them just stuck on my phone/Facebook/Instagram but have a physical copy of them. So that is what I did,I got two of each so there is some for me,some for others. I've put one in a frame on my bedside table, now to decide where to put the rest. Photos add a personal touch to a room,so mine has quite a few :)

3 - My holiday for September is paid off,I just owe my boyfriend a little bit now. It's me,him and our friends Sarah and Chris,we're going to Spain for a week, on the 13th, 3 days after my birthday...not a bad birthday present is it? First holiday without parents, oooooooooooooohyeah.

4- I have managed to keep my room tidy for over two weeks (well I haven't actually been counting) as in - I haven't let clothes build up all over the place,I've not cluttered my desk with crap basically, and have put things back where they come from after using them. Clear room,clear mind...it's a thing right? Well that's what I'm going with anyway.

5 - I have managed to put a little bit of money aside this month which is quite difficult for me as I don't have a very big income, I said I would put some money in a pot each week and I've stuck to it. I don't quite know what I'm saving for, it's sort of a mix - just general savings/ a car / money towards my holiday. I just hope I can stick to it!

6- During the week it was my driving test and my 6 month anniversary with James - on the same day. Currently James is in Australia so we couldn't do anything,which was a bit meh,but nothing we could do about it. To add to that I failed my test, so it wasn't a great day for me,buuuuut then when I got home I went upstairs to find a parcel on my bed. So I opened it and in the box was a bunch of flowers, a good luck card, and a balloon with 'I Love You' on it. How sweet :') I didn't suspect a thing, it was such a nice surprise after what had happened. I've never got flowers and surprise things before so I was really happy,and he'd planned it before he even went away which was nearly two weeks ago,so sneaky :P and I know you'll being reading this James, thank you, I love you loads <3

So there we have it, six things that made me happy this week.

What are you happy about?

ZSL London Zoo & Westfields

On Monday just gone, my boyfriend James and I went to London Zoo with our friends Sarah and Chris.
We have all been wanting to go to London together for a while whether it be just seeing the sights or just going shopping.
We decided to go to the Zoo, three out of the four of us had not been before, so that was nice.

We arrived at about 12,so there was plenty of time to explore. James is quite the Zoo fan and if he hadn't have been with us he would have been in and around in about 2-3 hours, but we dragged it out good and proper and were still there when it was about to close. There was no need to look at the map  really or read the signs as James knew exactly where to go and what everything was called (geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek). Although, it was helpful as it meant not just walking around and around and getting bored or lost and missing out on certain areas.
It turns out that Chris is quite the sign reader so quite often we left him to it and went off to look at something else haha.

As Zoo's go,it is a good one and much to my boyfriends delight,I would go back again as a couple of areas we wanted to look at were closed.
I've been trying to think of what my favourite part was but I can't choose. 
 After we eventually left the Zoo, we travelled to Westfields for some dinner and ironically ate at a place called Giraffe, and was it was very tasty.

It was a long but enjoyable day spent with good company before my boyfriend ditched us all for Australia for a few weeks, alright for some ;)







Thanks for reading,

Demi

What I've been up to...

Hello friends,how are we? 

It's now June...just stop for a minute and let that sink in...halfway through the year already! Wowzerrrrrrs. Time has absolutely flown by.

My last post was in February,which was pretty much the start of the year so bit by bit I'm going to fill you in with what I've been up to over the last few months. 

At the end of 2014, I looked back on the year and I felt that I hadn't really done much or been to many places and had nothing to tell anyone about. So I was out to make 2015 much better and so far it has been just that. I hope to for it to continue and that I have a well fulfilled year. 

My trip to Brighton...
At the start of March my boyfriend and I decided to go to Brighton for a few days. After speaking about it a few times we finally decided to book train and hotel tickets. They were very cheap which was great and after arriving I found it was relatively easy to get to, my boyfriend would clarify that I'm rubbish at getting to pretty much anywhere, but even I didn't find it all that confusing. 
We were both quite excited as it was our first trip away together :)

It didn't take too long to get there and we'd already booked a restaurant for the evening,so we had a few hours to chill out before we went for dinner. We dumped our bags in the hotel room and went for a walk along the pier and took some typical touristy photos. Haha.
We then went back to room for a bit,which had THE smallest bathroom that we could just about both fit in,which as quite funny. For our meal we went to a place called Smokeys and we really enjoyed it, it was an American barbecue type place. I would like to go there again. 

The next day was our full day,so we had more time to have a look around. We took another walk along the pier,just because we could and then when we went off to have a look through The Lanes, which is loads of little lanes and alleyways full of shops and cafes. So went to have a look and do some shopping and being a chocolate lover of course had to stop off at Choccywoccydoodah....mmmmm. Best Hot Chocolate I have ever had. A bold statement, I know. 

If I was going to go again I would like to go for a bit longer so we could fit more things in as we weren't there for very long so didn't get to do that much and the weather was quite miserable,but that aside we both had really good time and want to go back at some point. 

Treats at Choccywoccydoodah.


The most delicious Hot Chocolate.


Me and my love, look how happy we are to be in Brighton.

Classic seafront pic.



Hope you enjoyed this, more to come soon...
