The pains of being pale

Are maxi dresses still 'in'? Whether they are or not is fairly irrelevant to me in terms of wearing them myself, but in terms of general opinion, are they? At least those horrible gypsy skirts that were in about ten years ago aren't back yet *shudder* I await their return in fashions next 70's faze with a closed purse.

Anyhoo, here I am in one, a maxi dress that is, on one of those rare occasion I'm not being lazy (read as penny pinching) in my free time. 

Maxi dress- Primarni//Cardigan- H&M// flip flops- toff central aka Jack Wills

Gemma said I looked like a ginger Morticia Adams, so I did my best pose. *FAIL*

Tractor of proof, we are actually in the countryside.

Beautiful mumma, doing her best elegant pose. 

Oh the HAIR!!! *claws at screen*

OMG he totally stuck it through his head! *facepalm* Dad jokes eh!

One thing I will add to this post, I feel of the utmost importance, is what a giant pain in the arse it is to be pale at this time of year, I feel like a freaking vampire, cowering from the sun. I know nothing but fear for it's rays, would I perhaps like it for instance, if it didn't hold the threat of turning me into a giant lobster after a few minutes out side without factor 50+? And to my impatient and naturally tan-but-not-burnt friends, I would like to say; I'm not high maintenance, I just don't fancy turning into a human blister! And with that lovely mental image, I'll say goodbye.

Baytrees - Walking in a winter wonderland

We (as in me, my mum, dad and sis) have the tradition of an annual trek to Baytrees in Spalding to see the Winter Wonderland and do a bit of christmas shopping, only we haven't been for two years now due to lack of funds but this year I managed to save up some wages for a bit, and we went as a xmas treat and pressie in-one from me, Happy Crimbo fambly! x

The two picture above are amongst my favourites; in the first one I look like a total toddler, my expression is like "Ooh look mummy, shiny things here!" and the second one reads the story of my poor dads life- waiting in the background whilst us girls mess about!

MEME BEAR ALERT! y u no give me ability to pee?!

Bleh.

It's terrible what they make orphans do these days.

Gemma looking cute!

I had to put this pic in! why oh why does it say vole! VOLE? we laughed our asses of at this, so much so people were giving us disapproving looks. VOLE! ha! *is childish*

Really real reindeers! caribou! I did a bit of a squee when I saw them, they are so tiny, I expected them to be huge. And as you can probably see they were rather sick of carrots by this point, so we didn't feed them, but they were so intrigued by us they seem to like to sniff you as dogs do. I heart deer for life!

I told you I was short.

I got 

We had a brilliant day together and I got quite a few goodies too, including a fantastic dress and yet more mittens that'll most probably stick on here some time soon! 

Also on  another note, sorry for the lengthy blogging absence but once again silly life gets in my way, and I've been doing as much overtime as possible to get more funds in time for Crimbo, so have been a tad occupied. Anyhoo.

Much merry making a happiness to you all over the Christmas period people!

Lots of Love
