My May Goals

I think that doing monthly goals instead of yearly goals would end up being far more productive and would result in a higher success rate. In January, I felt very hopeful of my future. I was happy. I was in a state of confusion, but I was happy. Then, after about mid-February, bad things happened and continued to happen and I'm going into May in a state of depression that is only worsening. I'm not sure what to do about it, but I'm hoping by giving myself May goals and maybe talking about it with you or someone I can help get better. 

Forgive Myself 

I'm not expecting to be able to do this in a month, but I can make a start. I have done some bad things in my past and it strongly affects me and my ability to treat other people well, too. It affects such a huge part of my life and I need to understand that everyone was once young and stupid, and most people have done bad things that have strongly affected someone else (even if it was just a judgemental comment now and again in high school). It's just hard to forgive yourself when the other person is hurt still from what you did. It's hard to forgive other people, which I have only recently learned to do. 

Drink More Water/Eat Healthier. 

It's not just that I'm overweight, but it's how being overweight affects me. It affects my confidence. My mental health. Even having to buy more expensive clothes because I'm a bigger size. I don't want to focus too much on losing weight, because that has never worked in the past. Instead, I'm going to focus on the things that can help me achieve that because ultimately these are things that I should adopt for the rest of my life and not just short term. 

Read More 

I don't read that much in my time. It used to be from lack of access to books, and still partly is, but also because when I do have the time to read something else will occupy my time. Watching TV shows, or writing, or watching videos. I tend to almost avoid it, sometimes, which originally I thought was okay to do but I do really enjoy reading - I'm just a lazy reader, lately. I want to see if I can read fifty books this year, and a varied amount of books too. This will hopefully improve my writing. 

Socialize More

I keep avoiding my friends. I don't actively make conversation. I would have plenty of friends, I'm just not social and not a conversationalist. This makes writing dialogue in books difficult, too, and makes me quite depressed out of loneliness (to be accurate, adds to the depression). I have a few people who I know probably don't hate me, so I'll converse with those. 

I'm going to leave it at that, because I don't want to push myself too much for my first monthly goals "activity". I'll let you know how that goes. 

The Goodreads Book Tag

I know this book tag is an old one but I really felt like doing one, now I'm in the reading habit and I'm not really up to much today but crying in my pillow and watching more of American Horror Story: Coven and maybe later today some Legend of Korra: Change We'll see how this day progresses. Also, my brother is coming home today as he was six yesterday and he went to see his father but he still has some presents from me and my sister to open and I'm exited for that - as exited as a depressed person can be. With that rambling being said, lets get into the book tag. 

1. What was the last book you marked as 'read'?

"The Magician's Nephew" by C.S.Lewis. 

If you read my previous post, you'll know I wasn't hugely fond of this book - it was a good book, but doesn't live up to the hype and has undertones of sexism. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. 

2. What are you currently reading?

"The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" by Rachel Joyce

This book is the first in a series (which I just found out) about an old man called Harold Fry living with his wife, Maureen, in a troubled and unhappy relationship. They have an adult child together called David. One day, Harold receives a letter from his old pal Queenie who is dying of cancer. Harold writes a letter back but instead of posting it through the post box, he keeps walking and walking and pilgrimages across England to get to Queenie. 

Its so far very humorous and melancholic, the writing style is so gripping and it makes the book really hard to put down - if I wasn't so preoccupied with other things, I would have already finished it by now. It's a beautifully written tale, so far. 

"House of Leaves" by Mark. Z. Danielewski. 

I don't even want to attempt to explain what this book is about, but because it's a very common book there's quite a strong chance that you already know what it's about or have already read it. it's basically about a house that's bigger on the inside then it is on the outside, and an old man who wrote a project based on it, and other people who discover this. It's complicated, and written in a strange way, and it's such a big book that it may take me a while to get through. I don't like giving up, so I will push on. 

"Rule of Two" by Drew Karpyshyn (book #2 in the Darth Bane trilogy) 

I don't want to say what this book is about in too much detail as it is the second book in a series, but it continues on with the tale of Darth Bane and the Sith, as well as the Old Republic, and if you love the dark side's perspective in books and Star Wars then you'd love this series. It's action packed and awesome. I lost the book, so it's taking me a while to read this because well...hard to read a book you don't currently have. 

3. What was the last book you marked as 'TBR'?

I don't use my TBR list on Goodreads, but the next book I plan to get to is "The Kite Runner" of the author, I have forgotten. I've heard it's wonderfully sad and hard to get into, so I've put it off but recently felt compelled to get to it. 

4. What book do you plan to read next?

As other books I have on my TBR pile is "Life of Pi", the rest of the Infernal Devices trilogy, some vampire books...I have quite a lot of books I plan to read next, but it's a mystery to see which ones I will actually get to. 

5. Do you use the star rating system?

Yes, and if you want to know how I use the star rating system please click on the tab above that says "Book Ratings". 

6. Are you doing a 2016 Reading Challenge?

This originally said 2014 as this is quite an old tag but I really wanted to do one. I am currently doing a 2016 book challenge, which is thirty books. Last years was fifty, and I didn't manage to do that so I thought I would take it easy this year and not push myself too much. I have more work to be getting on with next year, so I'll probably be reading even less in 2017.

7. Do you have a wishlist?

Yes, my wishlist I store in Amazon and lately have frequently added to it. 

8. What book do you plan to buy next?

"Shatter me" by Tahereh Mafi" as I have a really good, close friend (who wrote this book) that talks quite often about how she loves this book. My favourite BookTuber, Whitney, also speaks highly of this book. I am aware that this book has a lot of similarities to every other YA book series, but so did The Maze Runner trilogy and I absolutely adored that. 

I have also recently read a small first few pages of "The Vegetarian" by Han Kang and found it so interesting that I really feel quite compelled to purchase it. 

9. Do you have any favorite quotes, would you like to share a few?

"Then the cloud became suffused with a dulled pink, as if those vibrant colours had bled through, merging as they met. He couldn't move. He wanted to witness every change. The light on the land was gold; even his skin was warm with it. At his feet the earth creaked and whispered. The air smelled green and full of beginnings. A soft mist rose, like wisps of smoke. Harold was so tired he could barely lift his feet, and yet he felt such hope, he was giddy with it. If he kept looking at things that were bigger than himself, he knew he could make it to Berwick" - The Unlike Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. 

10. Who are your favourite authors?

James Dashner. J.K.Rowling. I couldn't really pinpoint anybody in particular, there isn't really an author I read every book from and there isn't really anybody I highly anticipate. 

11. Have you joined any groups?

No, I don't really know how to get into it. 

12. Are there any questions you would like to add?

Do you add books to your to-read list that you already own or have in your possession, or do you add ones that you really want to read? 

Thank you very much for reading this book tag and if you've already done this then please link it to me as I'd love to read it, or if you want to do it then go ahead and do it.

Books I Read in April 2016

I have not been the greatest reader for a good few months so it was pretty cool to read seven books this month (and due to how huge my TBR shelf is, I should hopefully read even more for the month of May, wish me luck). Even if half of those were books made for kids so were therefore quite speedy to read, it gave me a kick up the butt to read more because reading a lot when you're busy with college and very tired is hard! 

"Plague" by Michael Grant

There isn't much I can say about what this book was about considering it's the forth book in a six book series, but it pretty much says it all in the title. This series has been read by a majority at this point, though, so I imagine you already know what this book is about. I really didn't like "Lies" because it was very political heavy, it tied a lot of loose strings and I wasn't sure what another three books in a series could add, and its demographic is high school males so it was obviously male-dominated and mildly/moderately sexist, which got on my nerves. 

"Plague" restored my faith a little bit. It was still mildly sexist, and still male-dominated and the main characters (Sam and Astrid) get on my nerves so badly, I love the fact it's from different perspectives because if it was just from Sam or Astrid I probably wouldn't have even finished the first book.

The sex thing was also really annoying. Either have sex or don't, stop rambling on. 

"The Spiderwick Chronicles: The Completely Fantastical Edition" by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi

Firstly, this book is stunningly beautiful. The cover is beautiful, the artwork inside is beautiful, and when you take the dust jacket off it looks like a leatherbound book. It's a work of art, it's absolutely stunning. 

Luckily, the writing was beautiful. The story was beautiful. I loved the characters. It follows Jared, his twin brother Simon and their sister Mallory in their broken home and when they discover a book filled with all sorts of secrets, they discover they're being hunted down by all sorts of mythical creatures like faeries, elves, goblins and ogres. It's wonderful and if you haven't read it yet, why not? 

"Sapphire Battersea" by Jacqueline Wilson. 

This is the second book in the Hetty Feather trilogy following a very vibrant orphan/foundling during the Victorian Era where she grows up with her foster family and is taken away at six to live in the Foundling Hospital until she's fourteen. This book takes us on the journey she has when she leaves the hospital to experience work.

I first read the first book when I was fourteen, and I still really liked the idea of the series and I had the next two books already so why not? It's like reading a Victorian Tracy Beaker, and I quite enjoyed it considering it's a children's book (common theme this month). 

"Our Endless Numbered Days" by Claire Fuller.

This is a standalone book following a young girl called Peggy from the age of eight to the years of sixteen where she was taken by her father into the cabin in a German forest where her father lied to her (not a spoiler, as this was it says in the very first chapter which starts when Peggy has arrived home) about her mother being dead and being in the middle of an apocalypse. 

It's quite a slow and uneventuful book, but I enjoyed the German and the piano references and The Railway Children references, even though the character development and actual plot was dull. Oddly, the story seemed to start just when it ended. Despite this, though, it had so many quotes that I liked, I really loved the writing style and the sheer weirdness of the whole thing, and it was only a short 300 page read so no harm done. I would recommend it. 

"The Alchemyst" by Michael Scott. 

People have been telling me to read this for months, and if you remember from a blog post I did months ago I got these for my birthday. The first book, and the second book. However, I didn't enjoy it that much. I enjoyed it enough to continue on to the next book but it was slow and it dragged, and there was no character depth or development at all. Granted, this took place over two days, so I'm hoping that really improves by the next book. It's also another children's book so I'm thinking maybe this month I'm just fed up of reading from a child's perspective of things, understandably. 

"Mind Games" by Teri Terry.

This book is about a girl called Luna (yes, it is based off the Harry Potter character Luna) who has this special girl who has qualities nobody else has in this virtual reality. It reminded me an awful, awful lot of Divergent but despite its resemblance to a lot of YA fiction (even though I don't generally read a lot of YA fiction) I really did enjoy the writing and the characters - even though it had no depth - and it wasn't the most amazing book, I just liked it a lot. My expectations were really low for going in this book because I've heard a lot of bad things about it, and maybe my awareness of these bad things is what made me like it a lot. I set up the barrier!

"The Magician's Nephew" by C.S.Lewis.

#1 The Chronicles of Narnia 

I feel bad to say that I didn't enjoy this one as much as I hoped I would. I thought the background information on Narnia and its creation was beautiful, the settings were beautiful - the sexism was not, and it was quite slow/dull in parts and I found it hard to pick back up again. It also took me a while to read it, and seeing as it's only a two hundred page book it really shouldn't have taken me as long as it did to read. Purely because I have the rest of the Narnia collection, and because it's Narnia (and something my dad gifted to me) I am going to continue reading the series - I have already read book #2 so I'm considering skipping that one, but otherwise, I will finish them all. Probably. I just hope it gets a little more interesting. 

Thank you for reading if you did get this far! Have you read any of these books? What books did you read this month? 

CHANGES?

I guess you could say I've done a great deal of improving in the past month or so. I've done pretty bad things in my past. I continue to do bad things in my current self, but I am trying to self improve the best that I can. 

I finally made that transition from omnivore to vegetarian. I do eventually want to be vegan, but I'm not sure how long that will take. I live at home, and my mother makes the paycheck. It was a miracle enough that she accepted my vegetarian lifestyle. It took me what felt like forever to try and convince her. 

I do want to make posts about this, too. What vegetarian meals/foods/general snacks I really love to eat, how I dealt with the transition, why I am a vegetarian, why it would be cool if you went vegetarian (but not pushy, I understand other people want to eat meat and I'm not telling you not to). I really enjoy learning about that, and I think I would like to do some basic education on the subject. 

Also, this month is Autism Awareness Month and I haven't really spoken about it at all. As you can tell if you follow me on Instagram also, or Twitter, I've changed my name to crankyautistic because it's a pretty good representation of me and a way to welcome the fact that I am autistic and try to be okay with it. In the past, and even in my current, I have been ashamed of it. 

I want to talk about it more often because I dislike the stereotype of teenage white boy good at maths/science. That's just one out of the many, many types of people autism is. I am a female, for one, and no longer a teenager. Soon, anyway. 

I'm not really sure what other changes happened, but these two points are the main. I'm trying to find a nice space-themed design of this blog but I'm not good at computer work. That's why you may have seen the banner change a lot. 

Anyway, thank you for reading this short update, see you next time. 

The Problem With Writing

For those of you who don't know, I have a Wattpad account that I have just recently started to use again.

 I got introduced to it a long time ago (what feels like a long time ago, but really was only four five-ish years ago) when I was fourteen/fifteen. I was in a ICT lesson and I had to sit next to a girl called Kristen (who still uses her Wattpad account regularly), who was just talking about the normal teenage girl topics like drinking and smoking and a guy she really liked and then she started to speak about writing in her journal. 

Obviously, my ears immediately pricked up at that. I am and always have been a huge fan of journal entry writing. This led into a conversation about a story she was writing and how she was so proud of it, called Living with the Lockhart Boys.

Now, I am not just saying this because I still actively support her today but I really do like what she writes. I wouldn't purchase it in a store purely because this kind of genre in writing is not my thing personally, but she has such a great writing style and there are parts in her writing that make me just laugh out loud. 

After that, I also started to use Wattpad regularly. I've had a couple of accounts in the years that have passed, but all of the things I have written got deleted due to insecurity and such. Which is such a huge shame, because it left no room for self improvement that would have happened if I had continued, and also because it would have been quite nice to look back on. If you follow my other blogs, and even this one, you'll know that unfortunately I still have this annoying habit of deleting things that I have written and regretting it in the future. 

I notice this a lot, this pattern of being insecure about what I am writing. Not just that, but my grammar/punctuation/spelling is off - not that I had to tell you that, you are reading words if you have got this far. I also find it hugely difficult to grab hold of a idea that I have about a world, and build it from there. I have had a world that I have wanted to write since I was a young child, a world I still highly enjoy escaping to and hope that readers of it would enjoy escaping too also - but it's a huge part of my soul that I would be opening up to the world, and I don't know if it's ready to, so I want to write something smaller but still fun and enjoyable on Wattpad first. A short story. 

I also worry that it will be unoriginal. That the unsuccessful roads I go down will just knock me and my confidence, and make it even harder to write. But if I don't try at all, what would I be missing? And why can't I write for fun, and not worry about what people would think about it?

Anyway, these are just some late though ramblings that I wanted to share with you. 

Marfan Syndrome Awareness Month

You may or may not be aware of this, but February is the month dedicated to spreading awareness on Marfan Syndrome. 

I am usually the type of person to not give any specific problem special limelight because, in my eyes, it's like saying hey, these problems are more important then others and deserve attention. It's just hard to sometimes pinpoint what problems I should focus on and what problems I should spend less focus on, and what problems I shouldn't talk about at all (if I was to talk about all of them, I would be here forever). 

I usually just opt for focusing on my own personal problems. ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), Social Anxiety and Depression among other things I have gone through or am going through whether good or bad so that other people can learn or be helped or educated on my experiences. Especially because I live it, I at least know a decent amount of information on it. 

I don't actually know anything about this topic, though. I'm here to share this blog post from a woman who actually has this syndrome and wants to share as much information about the topic as she can to the world. I'm simply a messenger she doesn't know she has wanting to spread the post out to anyone who is interested in how they can help or recognise people with Marfan Syndrome. I suggest you follow her for more informative, future posts on the syndrome and help spread the message yourselves so less people die/suffer from it, and can get the correct medical help they need a lot quicker. 

Thank you for reading.

A Mostly-Makeup-But-I-Was-Nervous-Happy-Sad-Heartbroken-Exited Haul

*be warned, this is a long post that is quite picture and word heavy*

I'm a bit of an over-spender, if you know me. If I have the money, then it's going to be gone. I don't have money until April at the earliest again and I just spent a good portion of that. Not today, but collectively over the past few weeks (I'll be showing you a couple items I got from that at the end of this post). I am just nervous about the fact that I have no money and nobody to talk to and ex-boyfriend problems (he was also the dude who used to run this blog with me and was much better at writing, lets be honest). Happy because some aspects of my life are at least running smoothly. Heartbroken because, again, ex-boyfriend. But exited of what my future life will hold. All in all, lots of emotions. I'm sure you care so much about that. 

Okay, let's start with the make-up. 

I've been eager for a while to buy something from Bourjois so I got two. The lip crayon was meant to be free but I'm stupid and didn't read the label correctly, if I spent £2 more on Bourjois the lip crayon would have been free. Bit bummed about that as I'm really nervous about spending this much money as it is. 

I got the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in "Light Vanilla" and the Colour Boost Lip Crayon in "Orange Punch". I've only tested out the foundation once and even though the skin tone is ever so slightly off (if you want to see what it looks like on my skin, go check out Pink Princess) it's very thick and goes on smoothly. It's a lot more matte then my other foundations that I usually use and I have to say I do like it. 

As far as the lip crayon goes, I don't like it. It doesn't really give me any colour at all, it just gives me a slight gloss and particles get caught in parts of my lips so I end up with chunks of orange. All it really does it give my already existing lip colour a boost. Maybe that's what it was intended to do, I don't know. I like it in the sense that when I don't want to wear tonnes of make-up or maybe when I have a lot going on in my eyes I can use it, but otherwise it's a regret buy (and a buy I didn't know I was going to do). 

A couple other impulse buys are these two Benefit products (which are my first ever bought Benefit products) and I was very keen to give them a try. 

The first Benefit product I got was the every so highly raved about (especially by my mother) was the They're Real Mascara Mini (or travel sized, as I like to call it). I tried it out earlier and I was very impressed. It gave me a lot of length and volume and they certainly did resemble fake lashes. I probably would re-purchase this in the bigger size on a later date when I get paid again sometime in April. It was just as impressive as the hype told me it would be. 

The second product I got by Benefit was this Porefessional Face Primer Balm Mini and although this made by skin so smooth and so soft, it didn't really make the pores that I have any less visible which was a shame. They looked just as obvious and in your face as they usually did. It works wonderfully well as a primer but, unfortunately, doesn't do too well with doing what it says it does on the tin. On the bright side, you can use a tiny amount of this and it will go far and I don't believe it was a waste of money because it makes my skin feel great. 

I actually did need some eye brushes so at least this was one thing that I went out to buy and actually got. These are the Ecotools Eye Enhancing Duo Brush Set . What got me about these brushes is that they are so soft, cruelty-free and made from recycled materials. Y'all know I'm big at preaching on how to be more environmentally friendly and respect the welfare of animals so these were a seller instantly for me. After using them once, they're amazing, they pick up a lot of powder and spread it really well and I don't know how to explain it. I just recommend them. 

The last make-up product I purchased was the cheapest, I got it from a discount store for just £1. 

(taken with no flash, natural window light)

(taken with bedroom lights, no flash or natural light)

As you can probably tell from the packaging, this product was from a place similar to Poundland and The 99p Store, etc. I was expecting something to be wrong with it like it was out of date or it was previously used as a tester or something like that, but no. It was like brand new. The only thing wrong with it is that it wasn't sealed properly like lip products usually are, it was sealed with tape but other then that it was in brand new condition.

This (if you didn't guess already) is the Rimmel London Apocalips in "Nova", which is a non-matte bright pink gloss - but not the sticky kind! As you can tell from the picture below, it has a really nice and practical applicator. The only real problem I have with it is that they test on animals (and as you can tell from how much money I spent, I was not thinking clearly at the time of this purchase) and it picks up way too much product so I end up getting a lot of 'wasted' gloss around the rim. I really like the colour though and when I get more confident in wearing make-up, this will certainly be on my lips a lot.

This was not make-up but was bought in Boots as a last-second pick up. They were on offer for £5 down from £8.99 and they were leopard print. How could I resist?! 

I'm not sure how they work yet, as I haven't ever used fake nails before but they were easy and cheap so I figured if I was going to start these would be a good thing to start off with. They come with instructions, and two nail things and the actual nails themselves are all in different sizes. They are the Elegant Touch Express nail set. I couldn't find them online but I did find these really cute cat ones that you might like! ;)

And later on last night, I made a new discovery of what the packaging was like inside: 

(tilted because it was glaring from my window)

The inside packaging looks like a little nail polish bottle! How cute! Anyway, I thought I would share that too because it was such a nice little detail. I haven't used these yet because I don't know why I bought them but I will eventually find a use for them. Maybe when I go out, on one of the very rare occasions that I do. 

Next, I popped into TKMaxx (which, by the way, I found Too Faced bronzer/blush mixes that were made for Valentines Day I do believe - Ross and Rachel which was quite dark, and another one called Carrie something which was really light and if I used bronzer/blushes in my make-up routine I would have purchased them as they were only £10). 

I actually completely forgot to get headphones when I did have enough money to get them and still have the extra money for emergencies but I found these beauties for £15. Just fifteen pound, and in one of my favourite colours too (I believe it's called Rose Pink). 

I don't know what the specific type of headphone these are but head over to Amazon and search Sony Headphones and you can find plenty similar or more advanced to these ones (and cheaper, because it's Amazon!). I'm going on a little "bus adventure" (a fourteen hour long bus adventure with four different stops...) later next week and it seemed like the perfect time to invest in some. Though they weren't really an investment. I just can't wait to try them out, listen to some music and hopefully not space out because I need to be aware of when my stop is (if you would like me to do a main blog post on that, ask, but otherwise it's going to be on another blog). 

And the last thing I got from this shopping experience is Fruit Bowl Jelly Belly's. I know that these are kind of popular in America but in the UK they are very, very dear. They're just so expensive for jelly beans that I always say "nah" whenever I think about getting them. I saw this box for £2 at my local TKMaxx (love it so much). I wasn't intending to get them but they were by the checkout and I was like hey I'm going through a lot right now, why not? I hated them all those years ago that I tried them but either they changed or I did because these are delicious. 

(from the right to left, I don't know why I swatched them that way)

Someone who I follow on blogger, Vinny, consistently raved about how amazing this brand is and because it's so cheap and being a student with no real income I can always do with some good ol' cheap makeup. I like matte colours, but I always find them to be a bit boring so I went with this palette (Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic 2) It has a mixture of shimmer and matte shades, and my favourite are obviously the pink toned ones (and again, self promotion,  this palette is featured in my upcoming makeup look post Pink Princess). 

I'm not too keen on eyeshadows yet so I'm just testing out what I like and what I don't like and if I even like eyeshadow at all (because I'm not always one to do bold. I do like it sometimes, but going natural is more my thing). They're quite powdery and I don't use a primer at all yet so they crease an awful lot, especially the matte shades. But, they're really pretty colours and it works wonders for the budget so I do recommend them. 

Around £12/13 discounted from £16

 Completely forgot about the clothes I bought from the Peacocks sale. I have been looking for one of these weird blanket/shawl type things (I'm not a fashion person, can't you tell) for what feels like forever. Plaid, as you know, is one of my favourite prints and I saw it and it was on sale and I had the money in my hand - well, it was calling my name! I don't feel guilty for it at all though because I really did need some new clothes. Excuse the hair in my face.

£8 discounted 

This jumped was from the mans section, and it's so soft and cosy! I can't wait to wear this more until the cold weather dies down (I love cold weather so I'm rather sad about that). The sleeves are long and it's long to cover a bit of my bottom and it makes me look a little smaller then I am. It's in a nice brown shade, too. It covers all of me up, and I prefer to be modest (not that there's anything wrong with not being modest, I am guilty of posting the odd non-modest picture rarely on @thatweirdfatchick on Instagram but even if I didn't, I would still say nothing at all wrong with not being modest! #BanSlutShaming!) so I was rather thrilled about that. It's not too warm though, it is quite thin so I'm probably going to wear a vest/tank top underneath just for an extra layer of warmth. 

So, onto the videos! I did a Shopkins season three and four unboxing video, and a recently uploaded video of a Yummy Nummies box. They're all videos without my voice or face, filmed on a phone camera so they are terrible quality but I really enjoy doing them do I don't see why I should stop. 

These are from the Season Three blind baskets that I managed to find in a couple of local stores nearby me for £2.50 per basket that contains two shopkins. I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this, I think they are just so so cute! 

So from left to right, we have:

1. Macca Roon

2. Sneaky Sally 

3. Vicky Vac 

4.Toni Topper. 

5. Suzzie Sushi 

6. Queen of Tarts. 

They also kind of stack and I think I prefer this way of stacking rather then this series (Season Four). It's just easier to store but I don't really know if I want to keep them because I don't know what to do with them, and I'm not sure what a kid who gets them at a charity shop would do with them either. 

Apart from one that I got at another store, these are around £2.50 each also. I already have the tree in a different colour so I'm really exited that these are all more or less brand new to me. So, again, from left to right: 

1. I couldn't find her name, I thought she was Cindy Bon (who I have two of) but she's ever so slightly different so I'm not sure honestly. If you do know, please tell me.
2. Fish Flake Jake
3.Tiny Tree
4. Cheeky Cherries.
5. Drinky Drink
6. Comfy Chair. 

I do like how these look when they stack a lot more but I don't have room for it so I didn't want to stack it like this and would prefer to put them into storage which you can understand why that's hard to do!

And finally I have the Yummy Nummies boxes as pictured below which were on sale at my local supermarket for £4 per box. Earlier on today, I tried out the Pizza Party Maker and it didn't go to well. Not that I expected it to go well, but hey. They didn't taste half as bad as I thought they would. They smelt pretty bad though. 

I am going to do the first kit shown in this photo for sure next week or maybe even this weekend because I have nothing to do so stay tuned for that nightmare...I mean, wonderful experience! 

If you want to watch that, then you can click here.  I also did just notice that the whole video is sideways...oops. Noted for next time.
