I won't deny that 'Feel Good Friday' blogs make me feel good but to be honest, I already feel quite happy on Fridays, after school's finished and my weekend's officially started. One day I can assure you I don't feel like this is Monday, when I wake up at 6:30 and realise that I've got to do the same thing for another 4 days after. Mondays truly are not 'feel good days' and even when I get home from school I don't feel any better. So why are there always photos and blogs for Fridays when, in my opinion, it's one of the few best days of the week? Well let us not think about this any further because this is my 'Merry Mondays' post, and even if it doesn't cheer you up, hopefully it will me! I definitely know I need these on Mondays.

(I wish my Monday's were like this) So as I was sitting, doing all my homework, feeling fed up, I thought I'd put it to one side for a bit and find some happy quotes which would hopefully cheer me up and make me not feel so 'Monday miserable'.

This year for Christmas presents I bought polka dot glasses and filled them with chocolates and sweets. For each glass I bought a necklace (from primark) to differentiate them . For example, In Molly's glass (a horse lover) I put a horse shoe necklace in it which meant I didn't have to put a tag on it, even though I did because I decided it added that extra decorative touch.

After completely filling with mini toblerones, chocolate oranges, little chocolate santas, candy canes, maoams, and refreshers, I wrapped the bottom of each glass with different wrapping paper to make it more christmassy and then with cellophane gift wrap (the one used to wrap flower bouquets).  I bought this last year from ebay as I used the same idea before, however used mugs instead of glasses. If you want to buy this cellophane gift wrap (5m) you can here, although you may be able to find a cheaper price if you look through a few. I tied them with ribbon (you need about 4 hands for this), added a gift tag, and after 20 minutes I had made and wrapped my christmas gifts to give to my closest friends. This is such an easy thing to do, and if I received this I would be more than happy.

I WENT TO PRIMARK!

The towns I regularly visit don't have a Primark store so I have to travel around 30-40 minutes to the nearest one. This means that I don't often visit Primark, so when I do I don't just walk out with one or two items. On Saturday I went to Primark and to be honest I realised that the drive isn't that bad at all; it's just having the effort to get up a bit earlier and go, especially as they don't have an online store. *cries* As well as their cheap prices, Primark always has something I like and I have to purchase. On this occasion I left happily with 14 items in my bag.

Not only did I buy a new pair of shoes, I bought two. I actually found a pair of cheap shoes, which weren't wide fit, that were a perfect fit! I was suprised as well as impressed so picked up a black pair too as well as many other bargains....

I love the winter! Lots of people detest the winter and moan about it every year when it comes around. I should know, my family don't stop! But I'm always there to remind them why it's great.
Not only is it the season of which Christmas is in (YAY!) but it's also so pretty outside at this time of year, especially when it snows. I love being able to wear chunky knit jumpers and my fluffy pink socks sitting inside in the warm with a hot chocolate in front of the TV, or twitter, obviously. For me, there's nothing better.

There's only one problem though, and that's the mornings. Getting up at 6:30 am every morning Monday-Friday when it's so dark it looks like night, does not make me the happiest girl. Since year 11 my bed has also all of a sudden become a lot more comfier and I've never wanted to stay in it so much.

I've been out recently to buy some winter clothes, as all my clothes were mainly summery. This year there are some really nice what I call 'proper winter warmers' (don't ask!) in high street stores and I know I'll have to make another trip out searching for some more before Christmas. I've put a few photos of some of the things I've bought this winter up, although I'm not too sure on the prices I paid for them; I'll have to start noting it down. I've found everywhere quite reasonable this year as last year prices seemed to rise just before Christmas but this year so far so good.

Photo isn't very clear because we were camping out in the car while my brother was at the skate park in the pouring rain. Skinny Jeans from New Look (Not sure but think they were recently in the sale for £10)

Striped Jumper from Primark (Again I'm not 100% sure but I think it only cost me £8)

I bought these from eBay second hand however they were used a minimal amount of times and  were in very good condition - £12. I myself haven't worn these a lot either and will probably end up putting them up on Ebay too! :(
