 Today I have to write a 3000 word essay if I want to get over to Kettering tomorrow to visit my adorable friend Dan. I hate being put under pressure, although it does usually make me get the job done, and no worse than when I put more time and effort into a piece. Or maybe I'm just telling myself that to make me feel better about leaving everything until the last minute?

Procrastinating in every way physically possible, I've tidied a little, straightened my hair, written a submission for my friend's website which I'll link when it's posted, pottered around in my Litas, drank 100 cups of coffee, and taken photographs of myself. Self indulgent way to pass the time, but anything is better than a Victorian Literature assignment.

SWEET DISPOSITION

Quick trip to Huddersfield over the last couple of days brought lots of adorable animals, cuddles, Quentin Tarantino,  rushed writing, VKs at midday, getting the giggles to Gnomeo and Juliet, a ridiculous amount of food, bubble baths and the worst apple sours in the world.

Thank you for having me Nathan (and Tomsk the kitten). Always a pleasure ❤

RESOLUTIONS //

2013 is going to be an absolutely crazy one. My whole life is going to change dramatically in the summer when I finish my degree and step into the real world. It's 100% the most scary and crazy thing I'm ever going to have done. Most of my resolutions this year kind of revolve around that - sorting my life out, making big decisions, but I also want to live the next six months of my life to the absolute maximum. I'm going to do more, and do it harder, before I have to settle into reality.

Some of my favourite things that I'd like to do this year include:

learn to drive - join/start a band - take a holiday - get lost somewhere - start dancing again

look for internships - get an expensive new tattoo - take more photographs

I also want to try to go to some kind of live music event and the cinema once a month at the very very least.

For now, with the spirit of actually wanting to pass this god forsaken degree, I must return to my experimental writing portfolio which is due in tomorrow. 3000 words of weird, abstract poetry/prose, alongside another 1000 words of evaluation explaining all of the nonsense, it's torture. Good luck to all those of you who too, are up to your eyes in deadlines, we'll get through it!

BIG SPENDER

Today was always going to be a busy one as it's my last day in Nottingham for a little while - I'm heading back to the Steel City to wrestle with word-counts and deadlines, before I start my final semester of university. I am absolutely, utterly terrified, but I plan to make the most of it and enjoy it while it lasts!

Anyway, I've spent most of the day spending, which has definitely put a temporary smile on my face.

I met up with my doll-faced blonde bestie to finally put a plan that we've been mustering up for about five years, into action, and we at long last got matching tattoos. I have a small collection now, but this was her first, so it was all nerves and excitement as we manically looked for somewhere that did walk-ins, settling on the very shady, "Danny's" for Nottingham creatures who may have heard of it. Despite all the signs telling us that it was a terrible idea, we went ahead and did it, and got the most adorable little wine glasses to sum up our often wine-fueled friendship.

Mine is the bloody, slightly above ankle one - I'm still very much in love with the idea of a pair of sleeves one day, so it may have eventually been in the way.

Once Christie had left, I went a spent some more money on a jazzy new haircut, which I have been meaning to get around to for so long. After I bleached the shit out of, and destroyed my hair a couple of years ago, I really struggle to keep it in good condition, but they did a mighty fine job. Short-ish fringe, and a good few inches off the ends, I'm like a brand new woman.

Feeling flush, extravagant and pumped from my new image, I had a little root through the new Dr. Martens store, which is full to the brim with treats. I couldn't resist this pair of shiny buckled shoes which had been reduced down to £70 - still pretty pricey, but for a good quality shoes, an absolute steal. I haven't taken them off my feet since I got them home and my baby girl helped me unwrap them. I'm seriously going to miss my cat being around when I get back to Sheffield, which I'll be doing in just a few hours. Bye for now Nottingham <3

2013: A FRESH START

Hello there ladies (and gentlemen), my most genuine and sincere apologies for once again bailing out on being a good blogger, but it's a New Year now, and I have honorable intentions to raise kindlytreasures out of the ashes, with a fresh new take. I considered starting over, but I'd lose all of you beautiful followers, so I'm just going to stick with it, make some pretty new changes and keep you all interested. No more empty promises, I promise.

A big Happy New Year, to you all. I hope you all celebrated in style.

For me NYE calls for my annual family party at my Auntie Joy's house in Dorset, where we all drink a lot of cocktails, get a little silly and do a lot of dancing and singing along to "Lilly The Pink", which has become some kind of strange family anthem. This year proved no different and I was drunk on red wine and Harvey Wall-bangers by about 9pm. We saw in 2013 with hugs, kisses and a slurred Auld Lang Syne, and as expected, it was perfect.

There was also a strangely large amount of inflatable penis action - don't even ask, and as usual my cousin had his home-made bar out to tempt us all to mix our drinks. It's more than fair to say my head was a little fuzzy the next morning!

I hope you all had an excellent night also. I know we're a week in but I haven't actually made any resolutions yet, I'm definitely going to have a think about them and post them up really soon.
