University Panic!

Whilst I was away in Thailand (I will stop talking about it soon I promise) I found out I was accepted to study at the University of my Choice which was so exciting but at the same time really scary. Moving away from home is always nerve wrecking and what makes it scarier is that I am moving from Newcastle all the way down the country to the beautiful capital of London in no more than a week now! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Whilst getting ready I have found a few places that are amazing for buying things for University that provide everything you need but at the same time don’t break the bank balance.

Ikea kind of an obvious choice but it does just have a fabulous range of kitchen utensils which will set anyone up for moving out.

Sainsbury’s originally I never thought of going here but after being recommended it by friends I decided to check it out and I found some culinary delights.

Home Bargains + B&M Bargains these are already two of my favourite shops for cheap goods and they have supplied me with treats for university including kitchen equipment, hair care and cheap food (always a good thing)

Lidl is the ultimate food shop to go to for students with its quality food at low prices. I love it so much! The first encounter may be quite frightening as some of the brands are not the best known but I promise you it’s worth the trip as the food is always a good quality and its low prices will help you save your money for more important things.

 With only 4 days before I leave I am living in these shops getting everything together; wish me luck!

What are your best student places to shop?

Ikea Haul

Hold on to your hats people, I did something thrilling and mind blazingly exciting today…I went to Ikea and ended up spending a lot of dollar. Yeah…you’re jealous I know. I am not even being sarcastic, I LOVE IKEA! I don’t know why, it might be down to the cheap food available or the adorable cuddly plush vegetable toys but I have an indescribable love for Ikea; so when my mum asked if I wanted to go with her today I jumped at the chance with enthusiasm. We originally went just to get some more things for the kitchen (it’s getting completely re-done so of course everything needs to be re-purchased) but it ended up as an almighty haul so I thought I would share with you some of my favourite treats I purchased.  

♥Flamingo Tumblers – £0.75 each (SO SO CUTE!)

 ♥Sticky Rollers - £1.00 each (I have an Alaskan Malamute in full blown moult mode at the minute so I carry one around with me at all times)

♥Union Jack Tea Towels - £2.00 for pack of two

♥Purple Scented Candle - £4.00 (not sure what the actual scent is but it smells something along the lines of vanilla and its delightful so I thought I would go for it)

♥Personal Sized Ironing Board - £4.00 (my sister got one for university and apparently it’s fabulous so I decided to test it out)

Everything else bought was boring kitchen related things so I won’t bother reporting it, Anyway I hope you are all having a lush Saturday! Love Ikea fangirl Hann xxx

Easter Holidays

Sorry it’s been a while but these holidays have just been so manic with decorating the house and revision and family time blurrrrrgh. So here are just a few photos I took while on a run yesterday morning when the sun was actually out (shock!) As I have said in previous posts I live in a town by the sea, just outside Newcastle called Whitley Bay and I love where I live so I thought I would share some of its beauty. Oh, also a picture of me and my sister Sophie enjoying the toys in Ikea. Hann xxxx
