Photo a Day Challenge 2013

This week has just flown by for me! It was last Friday that I fell ill, but today I'm feeling almost completely back to normal again :) Maybe even a teeny bit healthier now that I've got that horrid virus out of my system. Yuck.

I wasn't able to do much with the photo challenge, however I managed to catch up over the last couple of days. I took a photo for 'movement', which was on my most ill day. That one was just of my room, the same, unmoving area that I had been staring at from my sickbed all day. I think it's too boring to post! I'm also leaving out one from the other day called 'street'. Don't tell anybody, but I skipped this one entirely!

06/01/2013 - MINE - My sweet little Mackie

08/01/2013 - SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH 'T' - Some pretty Tealights that were a lovely 'get well soon' gift. They're rose-scented, which is my favourite :)

09/01/2013 - PAPER - My good friend Mirjam sent me a christmas card this year and when I opened it, this beautiful origami snowflake slipped out

10/01/2013 - ONE O'CLOCK - My little watch. Here's another secret, I'm not very good at roman numerals. Of course I'm ok with my watch (now..) but there was an awkward moment a few weeks ago in the library when I couldn't find anything due to the references for the books all being in roman numerals!

How are you getting on with the challenge, those of you that are taking part? I've got a busy weekend coming up, filled with essays and hopefully lots of blogging :) How about you guys?

Photo a Day Challenge 2013 - 03/01 // View from Here

This is just a quick post because I'm poorly and semi-buried under textbooks right now, but I wanted to post today's photo as I'm quite determined to write a post every day for as long as I can! 

The prompt was 'view from here' so I went to this place where you can see out over Bournemouth to take it. I actually noticed that on the other side, beyond the little forest, you could make out the Isle of Wight in the distance, so that is what the grey shape on the horizon is :)

That's all for now I'm afraid. I'm going to go to bed and do some reading. My tonsils and glands in my throat are so sore and swollen. In fact, they're so swollen that I have a hint of the hamster-face about me. Gross.

Photo a Day Challenge 2013 - 03/01 // Heart

Today's prompt was 'Heart'. I decided to take a picture to show you the beautiful earrings and necklace my little sister bought me for Christmas. They are white with pink roses and so sweet. You can also see the pink heart necklace that I got on my 21st birthday. 

I don't wear a lot of jewelry but I really love small, dainty pieces, usually featuring roses or pearls :)

How about you, what's your favourite piece of jewelry that you own? Is it something sentimental?

Photo a Day Challenge 2013 - 02 // Something New

This morning we took my little dog for a walk in the New Forest. There are always lots of semi-wild horses grazing in the hedges and, if you're lucky, they sometimes let you stroke and snuggle them. It seems that some of them have recently had babies since there are lots of fuzzy little foals wandering around at the moment. So adorable! 

So here is my 'Something New' - a brand new, New Forest baby ♡

Happy New Year, my dear readers! Did you celebrate in style? I watched The Hunger Games with a lovely cold glass of Baileys and then listened to the fireworks from my bed. It was a cozy end to the year :)

Have you made any New Year's Resolutions? I love challenges, they keep me so motivated because I'm so competitive with myself. So here are mine:

+ Blog more - I'd love to spend more time here with you guys ♡

+ I've been a terrible penpal, I'd like to write more letters this year

+ Read 50 or more books - I'm going to sign up on Goodreads :) this one is a nice one because it means more reviews for you!

- Don't depend on others for my happiness

- No more procrastinating! / + Work hard!

And finally... 

+ Complete the 2013 Photo a Day Challenge:

The lovely Chantelle over at FatMumSlim has created this challenge and, I think, been running it for quite some time now. In fact, I think it was one of these challenges of hers that I took part in last May. I'd love to complete every single month this year. Please, please join me if you love taking photos too :)

I'll post my first picture right here. This morning my mum, little brother and I went for a walk along the beach. It was the first sunny day in ever such a long time! (You may have heard that England is sinking right now, there's been so much rain!) We had a lovely little walk up to the pier and watched while my sweet Macky chased after the seagulls! The prompt for this photo was 'Today':

Tell me about your New Year celebrations my lovelies. And let me know if you have any New Year's resolutions so I can cheer you on! Feel free to join me on any of mine, we can motivate each other!

One last thing... My computer is falling apart. Seriously. Websites don't load, my Word processor crashes every chance it gets, deleting my progress and my screen keeps going dark. So if I don't comment you, don't be sad. It will either be because my comment deleted while I was trying to post it, or because I've thrown my computer out of the window in a rage.
