58. These Grey Days-first beach visit of 2012

Today Thomas and I had the perfect Sunday, which may or may not have included cheese for breakfast. We took ourselves and a thermos flask of hot chocolate to Witterings and had an appetite building walk along the beach. I was wearing more layers than in those photos (a lot more layers) I was merely being vain and wanting to show off my new Topshop tunic. I saw this in their Spring Summer campaign ads and immediately hunted it out. I'm hoping its going to come out in a whole range of colours so that I can get every single one.
I have included that oh so attractive mugshot close up too, as despite the er...excitable look on my face, I am rather impressed with the new Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation I used for the first time today, and I think could be my favourite new product of the year so far. My skin is usually a bit sallow, and a bit uneven, but I think this foundation is actually doing what it says on the tin!
After this beach visit, we went into town and dined/made ourselves fat on a massive Sunday carvery dinner-I had beef AND turkey, and Tom had second helpings of just about everything. Now about to finish off the day with a pile of chocolate bars and the third season of Buffy on DVD.

Perhaps I should turn this blog into a food blog. Eating occupies my brain about 70% of the time.

Today I began my Christmas shopping, which whilst I wasn't entirely successful-I ended up buying myself a new coat at the same time, has eased my stress levels slightly, and I feel like the never-ending to do list has at least had a few things crossed off of it. Despite the purchase of the new coat, which was a gorgeous coloured fur from Warehouse and was justified by using the 25% discount offered via Grazia magazine (offer runs til December 8th I believe, be quick!) there wasn't actually a whole lot in the shops that I was tempted by. I had actually been dreading going round town in case I succumbed to the heady desire for new purchases, and would find myself once again penniless straight after payday. But through no strong will of my own, I didn't find myself ooh-ing and aah-ing over unneccessary purchases in the slightest. Can only be a good thing I suppose.

One thing I did have to buy though was an M&S Christmas soup. It tasted like liquid stuffing, but in a strangely good way. I'm also wanting to try some Mine Pie ice cream. Seems its my actual taste, not my fashion taste that's carving the most attention right now.


How's everyone elses Christmas shopping coming along? Are you organised this year or stressing with lack of ideas?

And oh yes, I have a fringe. Self cut of course. You like?
