The Memory Box | Part 3

Hello everyone!

The other day during a mass bedroom clean, I found my old memory box! It used to be all in an old camera box, but I've since bought a nice one from the Range and while sorting through it all, I took pictures of everything. Here's the third and final part of my memory lane trip!

Find Part One >Here< and Part Two >HERE<. Hope you enjoy this as there is a lot of things within! Be prepared for lots of pictures!

Left: My ticket from Wicked last October. It's given me the musical's bug and I need to see more! It was just amazing, and sitting in the third row was just the best.

Right: 2011 Film Museum ticket. This was the first time me and my sister went to London without our Mum or Dad. A little nerve-wreaking, but we done it! We also got lost in the Museum a dozen times as the exit was blocked off due to Danny Dyer being in there making a movie!

Left: I used to take Government and Politics at school and we went to the Houses of Parliament for a trip one day. These are the badges and pencils I picked up that were free (yeah!!) and my visitor ID badge!

Right: Maps from the 'Great London Museum Day' I done with Dad and sibling! Note to self, two huge ass museums in one day, when it is VERY BUSY, wasn't a good idea. But we did have fun and I couldn't walk the next day.

Left: I used to volunteer at a local Playscheme from the ages of 12-17. I'd attended as one of the kids since I was 5, so I was quite used to the place (plus Mum worked there.) I was 13, and little Hollie was 6 when she first arrived, and she took a shine to me! She was so damn adorable! She made me this when she was 8 years old, and I was almost 16, on the last day of volunteering. It made me cry!

Right: 'Dear Tania. I really like you and don't want to leave you. I want you be your sister. (then a little drawing of us both) Love Hollie'

Left: Parkdean Holiday Park ticket in Sandford, Dorset | A business card of mine!

Centre: The Harrods guide from when I went in 2012. Expensive place...

Right: My year's pass to Leeds Castle! | Landguard Holiday Park ticket in Isle of Wight.

Left: The Ripley's Believe it or Not museum in London, the tickets and the Mirror Maze tickets! It was a pretty interesting museum!

Right: Buckingham Palace summer opening! Went with Mum and Ash for the day (and other things too) and it was so weird being inside the Palace. Really beautiful. 

Above: Chessington on the left and Alton Towers on the right, plus a Thorpe Park ticket. I went to Alton Towers with my friend Nicola and her husband, and out friends Julie and Lisa one weekend! It was amazing! Also went to Chessington with them :) Some of the Chessington tickets and the solo Thorpe Park ticket is from a school trip!

Left: Photobooth strip with little Andi, Madame Tussauds ticket, my Sellindge Steam Rally ticket, and at the top is my Micheal McIntyre at the 02 from 2012 ticket!

Right: Four pictures of Shannon as a baby with my family. My original Morrisons employee badge... which they've changed to a new one. The green thing in the middle is a charm with my name on it! Below that is a picture of me and Jodie back in the short hair phase from 2008! And the drawing on the right is courtesy of my friend Wingrove up at work. This is his interpretation of a joke of ours, but basically this is him on a bucket recreating 'Wrecking Ball'.

Above: All of this is from 2009 in Great Yarmouth! I went on holiday there with my friend Jodie, her mum and her mum's partner for a week. I had so much fun! 

Left: The Yarmouth Stadium Dog racing program! I won nothing! | My 'teen' membership pass for the holiday park

Middle: Some fake diamonds I won in the arcade | The restaurant where we ate, and it was delicious | A variety of arcade tokens and coins for future use! 

Right: A photobooth strip we took on the pier one day after a lot of sleep. We've both changed soooo much!

Hope you liked this final part of my memory box! Do you have a memory box at all? Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

The Range Haul | My Life

Hello everyone!

A shop near me is The Range. It is a huge home goods store, along with a lot of garden furniture, pet equipment, lighting, home decor and stationary. Basically, the store is huge and I love it. My bedroom isn't the biggest of places, but I keep buying things! So much for my spending ban...

However, the other day I decided to go in on a mission to find some makeup storage. As much as I want two storage items from Muji, it's not not going to happen anytime soon. So this is what I picked up on my little trip!

This is what I ended up choosing for my makeup! I bought a large desk tidy/paper holder a few weeks ago and it's being used for all my stationary and paper filing. These were the other parts of the same range and material (metal mesh) and I thought they were perfect! When I got them home, I found them to be my best idea of the year.

The drawers for £4.99 are now home to my foundations, powders, eye shadows and mini pallettes. 

The 'pen' desk tidy for £2.99 is now my main brush holder, mascara, concealers, eye pencils and blemish sticks storage. It's all out ready for me to grab quickly and has made finding things so much easier! The little tray and the front holds a few bobby pins and clear elastics for my hair.

The large pot for £1.99 is ready for all my nail brushes when they arrive this week. I didn't want my nail tools and makeup brushes all in the same container, so this was purchased!

Fairy lights. I've been after some pretty ones to wrap around my bed frame for a while now, and then I saw these. I have a purple room and these are a pinky/purple colour. The flowers a bendy, so shouldn't break hopefully! Though, saying that, once I wrapped them around my bed back home, one of the wires had snapped in my wrapping haste, so GENTLE next time Tania! These were £3.99 and I would definitely buy these again. These also come in white. 

My last two items are a second Memory Box for £1.99 and these A4 folders for £1. My first Memory box is fit to burst, so I've got this brand new one in the same colour and design for all the new memories and little bits and pieces! The folders are nothing special, but I needed them for my online shopping receipts along with some work documents!

So there we have all of the last shop! I've bought a few more bits since then, but nothing of any significance that deserves a blog post! What do you think of my storage idea? What do you use for storing your products? Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

The Memory Box | Part 2

Hello everyone!

The other day during a mass bedroom clean, I found my old memory box! It used to be all in an old camera box, but I've since bought a nice one from the Range and while sorting through it all, I took pictures of everything. Here's the second part of three installments of my memory lane trip!

Find Part One >Here< Hope you enjoy this as there is a lot of things within! Be prepared for lots of pictures!

Left: A range of some key rings I've kept from Cornwall and London!

Right: My friend Jodie won this in a 2p machine a few years ago and she let me have it!

Left: All from 2001! The Magic Kingdom in Florida's park map, a Kennedy Space Centre pencil, some playing cards, and the book I made of all the places we went! It was such an amazing holiday.

Right: My auto graph book! Not used it much!

Top: Mickey Mouse, Princess Amora & Simbad, Shish Kabob (all three from the Eighth Voyage of Simbad show)

Bottom: Johnny Fire Demon, Decaying Demon Chris (both from Eighth Voyage of Simbad show) and finally, DOUGIE FROM MCFLY.

Above: I can't quite remember the year we done this, but I think it was 2006. It's the only time I've run the race, which I done with my friend Jodie and her mum Trudi. We finish the 5km run in 44 minutes and so many seconds!

Above: My cousin Lucy makes these wonderful figures called 'Felteenies'. She's made nearly 300 or more by now! I keep telling her she needs to sell them! I won a competition for him 2 years ago. Potter sits on my shelf next to the Potter books.

Asda Living Haul | Fashion

Hello everyone!

I keep ending up in Asda Living recently, and though I have bought tons more than what I have here, this is the latest haul! A very small one compared to other trips to the shop! Hope you like something I picked up :)

These printed shorts are not me at all, but I still bought them! Once I tried them on, I fell in love - so comfortable and not tight! They can be worn on the hips or waist. These were £8.

This top caught my eye due to how bright it is (the camera doesn't do the neon shade justice.) I'm not usually a yellow clothing person, so I saw a pink one and picked that up, but ended up getting this one as it's just so bright! The printed panel on the front layers over the longer part and was £6.

Pajamas! I only bought a new set the other day in Primark, but these ones are so cute! For £10, they are a bargain to me. The top is quite thick, but with no sleeves and shorts, this is perfect for summer. 

Again, another item I would never usually pick up. I was in a mood for new things on this trip, so when I saw these in the jewelry section for only £3 I decided to get them. I actually really like them now I've seen what I look like in them. I'm more of a stud girl when it comes to earrings, but I've been trying to find some different types that aren't to heavy! These are perfect!

Along with these, I also bought the DVD of 'Now You See Me', which was £5! Really happy with what I picked up, so hopefully these will all come of use in the summer time! Hope you are all having a great day and keep safe :)
