Today's PED is of my beautiful storage bench. I managed to get it for a bargain £70 down from over £200! It's currently storing tv box sets as we have far too many DVDs to put anywhere. I think it adds a touch of style to our home though.

Union Jack:


Song Of The Day: Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know
Reason: Just love this song at the moment! And apparently it's a cover of a Dannii Minogue song!

Today I decided to do some baking. Honey and syrup mini cakes to be precise. They're soooo gooood!

Cake:


Song Of The Day: Tinie Tempah - Pass Out
Reason: Not heard it for ages, but it's been stuck in my head all day.

Today we went to China town in Manchester to get a new wok. We managed to fine the perfect sized one for a mere £6!! Bargain. We also picked up some sauces and spices, I'll definitely be going there again as its so cheap and will encourage me to cook better meals. I made sweet and soy pork for tea which turned out pretty well really! For lunch we had food at one of the Chinese restaurants which was really nice too.

Sunday Dinner:


Song Of The Day: Lana Del Rey - Born To Die
Reason: She was on the cover of March Vogue UK and looked amazing! The interview was really interesting too.

My Top Ten Films

I've finally decided to get round to writing a blog about my top ten films. Now being a film lover and film studies graduate, this is subject to much change! However, most of the films on this list have been my very favourites for a very long time. The list is in no particular order, apart from the first one, The Shining, known to me as the greatest film of all time!

1. The Shining (1980)
I adore everything about this film. It is perfect in my eyes and I would never let anyone tell me otherwise. I adore Stanley Kubrick and his obsessive attention to detail. I love Jack Nicholson and his believable psychotic breakdown. I love the massive, isolated Overlook Hotel. I love little Danny. I love the blood elevator scene. I literally would kill whoever it took to be able to say I'd made this film.

Today I have spend most of the day doing nothing in particular! I applied for the odd job, ate junk and surfed the web. We're pretty much all sorted at the apartment now, just some stuff from the boy's house to get then we've got everything. I'm taking some odd bits back today, including my awesome punk dog portrait. I found it around 6-7 years ago at an antiques shop and paid a mere £7 for it. At the time I was heavily into punk, I'm not so much anymore, but I do still love a good punk music session in the summer!

Punk:


Song Of The Day: The Clash - Guns Of Brixton
Reason: To keep in with the punk PED, but also one of my favourite Clash songs.

Today has been an uneventful day really but it is the start of the weekend. Plenty of house teething problems this week but were starting to settle in.

The Library:


Song Of The Day: Will.I.Am - T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)
Reason: This song has really grown on me! May have to download it!
