Hopes for 2012

Hey guys, I know everyone always has their 'new year resolutions' like losing weight or finding a job or whatever but I just want to share with you the kind of things I have hopes for next year.

I've never been abroad before, like, I don't even have a passport.. So, the first thing I plan to do is apply for a passport!!! The reason for this is because I'm planning to go either Paris or somewhere in Italy (Venice or Rome) next December with my boyfriend for our 3rd Anniversary. 

Even though I've never left England and it's like a year away, I'm already so excited! :)


Also, I plan to pass my driving test in a couple of months, I know that if I say I've not even done my theory people will be like 'wow, you're not far along then' but acutally, I've been driving since September, I just keep putting the theory part off! Maybe I should get a move on.... I hope to take my theory in January or February and then take my test in March or April. 

Oh and you know what  that means, saving up to buy a car ... insurance ..tax. *yawn* I can't believe it's going to cost me like £2500 on insurance alone! 


I'm pretty excited at the prospects of next year and as I turn 18 in like two weeks, it'll just keep getting better! I hope...

So, main things I'm looking forward to are;

  • Getting my passport
  • Going abroad
  • 3rd anniversary with my boyfriend
  • Turning 18!
  • Passing my theory and practial test
  • Owning my first car
Pretty high hopes, huh?

Christmas Haul

First of all, I'd like to start by saying that I was SO excited for Christmas this year for some reason and that it lived up to everything I hoped it would!

I didn't really ask for anything for Christmas this year so I wasn't really expecting much but I was greatful for what I received. 

Together on the same setting.
Anywaaaay, firstly, my boyfriend got me some 'mooncandles' which look and smell like candles but they have a bulb instead of a real flame. I got 3 in a box and a control and they have 12 colours or you can have them on multi-coloured! They smell amazing too so that's great! :)
He also got me a really lovely mug which said 'Rachael, I love you, Kevin' on it but unfortunately it broke before I could use it!


My mum bought be a book about dreams and what they mean which I thought was interesting and some lovely festive socks, along with some nice brown ankle length boots! My dad got me a stylophone which is also pretty cool! 


My sister and brother in law gave me a 'Where's Wally' calender and an AMAZING canvas print of me and my boyfriend, which I've yet to put up!

Last but not least, my brother got me a CD of my FAVOURITE band's new album which I finally got around to listening to! Of course I got chocolate aswell, doesn't everyone?!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas with loved ones and got everything you wished for!


Multicoloured and looking grooooooooovy!


This what the Stylophone is that my Dad got for me.
How cool does that look?!
