Party!

Friday was the final day of activity week so it was the party! After the entire day of converting R's garage, blowing up over 90 balloons and setting up SO MUCH FOOD we were finally ready. It was a great evening. We also had an epic game of hide and seek which reminded me of the other epic game of hide and seek at L's house in the dark. All in all I had a really good week.

This has probably bored you so sorry.

Cinema and Picnic

I'm going to roll activity week days 3 and 4 together seeing as I'm so behind.
So on Wednesday we all went to the cinema for orange 2 for 1. We went to see Ice Age 4. It was so good, it was hilarious. Unlike the Shrek films which keep getting worse the Ice Age films remain at the same quality.
On Thursday we had a picnic planned. Unfortunately, due to typical British weather it was raining. So instead R put up her big tent and we ate in that in her garden and played truth or dare on S's phone although we cheated by rejecting almost all of them (but if you saw the dares you'd reject them too! ;P).
I slept over at R's which is why I haven't been posting on time so sorry about that. We spent pretty much the whole evening watching films like the old Disney Alice in Wonderland <3 I love all versions of this film although I've never gotten round to reading the book yet. I'm currently re-reading Divergent for the second time these past couple of months! 


Anyway that's all for now,

P.S. My camera's not working at the moment so sorry for the lack of pictures. xxx

Quasar

So I know it's late but for activity week day 2 we went to quasar (or laser quest) which is basically paint-balling but with lasers so it's less brutal...but not the way me and B were playing it... ;P
So in the first game it was boys vs girls. The boys won -.- but I won on the girls team. My tip would have to be just shoot at that thing in the other team's HQ - you get so many points, if you sneak round the back while everyone else is fighting it's easy. See? Smart and less fighting like Foxface in Hunger Games which is one of my MANY nicknames. Haha, yep that's me :D
In the second game we mixed up the teams but these two little boys (they could only be about 9) joined us. Well they were vicious. Stabbing us with their guns, chasing us around the arena for ages and shooting their own team more than the enemies. We lost again but I think that was because the two little kids were on the other team. This time I only came 3/4 despite improving my score. Never mind, you win some you lose some.


So that was Tuesday,

York

So this week me and my friends are on an activity week full of trips and days out. So yesterday we went on a trip to York. After an insanely funny train ride sitting with R, B and F we arrived... in the rain. No surprise there. Me, S, L, her brother and his girlfriend and F decided to go to the York Dungeons. 
Yeah so I jump pretty easily so I was kind of nervous but excited- it was going to be fun, and it was. Basically it's a whole load of rooms, some had live actors some fake models talking etc. They tell a bunch of gory but true stories from the past and did a lot of turning of the lights and when they came back on the actors were right up in my face screaming (making me scream as a result). There was a maze of mirrors which I'm still convinced was rigged and it was all largely interactive. Oh I was not impressed when they sprayed us with water and pretended it was blood- especially when I was only just drying off from the rain! Sorry there was no photography aloud so I don't have any photos.
Then we just spent the afternoon wondering round York. Got a ring 70% off from accessorize.

So that was Monday. Today we're off to Laser Quest so I'll talk to you later,

Happy Birthday!

So it's a day late because I was busy but yesterday was my sister's birthday. My little sis is 13! (13 on Friday 13th) Wow I can't believe it but now my parents have two teenagers to deal with although I'm the grumpy one but yeah.
She wasn't actually around for most of the day because she had school then a Scout camp so we'll celebrate it properly on Sunday. I got her a couple of books she wanted and one of those gift in a jar. I'd recently found a recipe for chocolate brownie in a mug and decided to do that.

Only put the dry ingredients in (obviously) and try to layer them.

I also made the label

I you want to make this yourself: you need 1/8 a cup of sugar, an 1/8 a cup of flour and a tbsp of cocoa powder. Pour all into a mug and add a pinch of salt. (this is what is in the jar). The rest of the instructions are on the back of the label below (I'm too lazy to type it out again)...



Please note that this only makes half a mug of brownie, feel free to double all the ingredients, I just used this much because when I tested the recipe out I realised my sister would never be able to eat that much.

That's all for now,

Boots Fair Product Haul

So on Sunday I went to the Boots fair where they give employees chance to buy discounted or discontinued products at  a lower price. There are also carnival rides and stuff. After going to last year's firework fair and being disappointed with my haul after being assured the bags would be awesome and buying 3 I was more cautious and only brought one. But I was pleasantly surprised. The bags were £5 but what was in them was worth far much more. This is what I got:
Yeah I just realised that I forgot to put the hairspray and dry shampoo in but never mind.

The perfumes should be about £20 each, soap and glory is about £10 each and the body butter is about £6. I'm not sure about the rest. So it was definitely worth it.
Body stuff

Bath/shower stuff

Hygiene stuff

Make up stuff (sorry about the blurry photo)

Hair stuff

Foot scrubs

Perfumes

I'll do a review of stuff once I've used them a bit more but I just wanted to do a quick haul post.
Please note that you can only get tickets to the Boots Fair if you are part of the Boots factory staff. I'm not but my friend's mum is and got the tickets for us.

Anyway, much love

Disclaimer: I did buy the products in the £5 bag but they are discounted. This is because the products are either discontinued, faulted or unused testers which they can't sell. So they weren't give-aways for promotion otherwise I'd tell you guys. Just wanted to make that clear. :)
