5 Things I Like Monday - Watches!

I like watches, I definitely feel it's time i got a new one but I've become so attached to my gold casio that I'm not sure i can live without it, imagine how many cakes i would burn if i didn't have the timer on my watch beeping at me, telling me to take them out of the oven... That aside, i like these watches:

O'Clock blue aqua watch -  O'CLOCK.

I am a geek and i like binary watches. The upper row of the LED is to tell hours and the lower LED is to tell the minutes. - 'i want one of those'.

Absolutely mental watch "The rings of the watch are in constant motion, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The goal of this watch is to create a new form of telling time that will inspire and spark wonder in the viewer." - Geoffrey Cooper.

Colourfullll watch, looks like it might have a stop watch too? - ASOS.

Colour wheel watch - Streamline.

I've seen this bike shelf a few times on the internet recently, and although i don't actually ever use my bike, i really like the idea, and the simplicity of it.

Lego wedding ring anyone?

I'm not sure why, but i really like this study. I'd like a desk looking out of a window, even if the view is just next door's roof.

A bookmobile!

Luisa Bruni's 'plink!' ring collection. Each ring shows a different stage of a fallen water drop.

Five Things I Like Mondays

I've had quite a busy week this week, five things I have liked are:

Jumble Sales - I went to one on Wednesday morning and although all I bought was a cardigan and a book, it was fun searching through the tables of clothes seeing what there was to buy, and knowing that anything you find will be a bargain!

I love pub quizzes. This week I won 'The Pianist' on DVD, which made it extra good!


I went to see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, it was totally geeky and really funny.

Eden in Manchester does a £5 pizza deal, all their pizzas are based on a country, and their Chinese pizza (Shredded aromatic duck, sliced spring onion & mozzarella on a hoi sin base) sounds a little unusual, but it is really really good.

I went to Yo Sushi for the first time this week. Any food that is delivered to me on a conveyor belt will impress me, but this stuff truly impressed me because it was delicious. I had 'Chocolate Mochi' for desert, which was so unexplainable that i'm not even going to try :)

5 Things I Like Mondays

I've decided to make this week's '5 Things I Like Monday' more relevant to my actual life, so:

I died the ends of my hair purple/pink the other day, and i'm loving it.

I got this tea cup from TK Maxx for 30p! Bargain of the century! Although the cup and the saucer are actually attached (it's meant to be a plant pot) but i decided to turn it into a candle...

...while i was trying to turn it into a candle, i managed to fill the entire kitchen with smoke (all i did was put some tea lights in the oven, apparently this is not a good idea) Anyway, whilst trying to get rid of the smoke, i managed to burn my hand, so i am loving aloe vera plants and their soothing qualities.

I bought the Wagamama cookbook from amazon which arrived yesterday. I love wagamama food so i am excited to try cooking from it!

It was one of my friend's birthday, so we made this Nikon camera cake. It literally took hours and although it doesn't look quite as good as the picture we were modelling it on, i am still proud of it!
