...can't think of a good title that involves Mother's Day and Marmite.

Post number 2 of 2013!  Go me!  And I've done some creative stuff too.  Mother if you're reading this and haven't opened your Mother's Day present yet, turn off the ipad and open it.
Every year I make my Mum a card for Mother's Day and its always a challenge coming up with new ideas.  This time I was inspired by one of my Mum's favourite things, Marmite.  On a recent trip to Selfridges Food Hall I discovered this...

No Noise Marmite. Follow the link to read the blurb but basically Selfridges have taken some well known brands and removed all the writing to celebrate "the power of quiet in a world bombarded with information and stimulation."  As Mum keeps all the limited edition Marmite jars it seemed like the perfect gift, and to go with it a specially designed card made by me!
I just have to explain first of all that my siblings and I call my Mum, Dearest Mama, in a Enid Blyton sort of way hence Marmite becomes Mamamite (because I'm clever like that)

Check those skills! (I used pencil crayons like a child)

In other news, Mr. D and I saw Argo at the Ritzy in Brixton on Wednesday which I highly recommend, followed by some yummy mexican food at Casa Morita.  We also took a trip to Shoreditch where we found this amazing creature...

And a billboard that should be on the side of my house...

We also went to Ikea on friday where there were no horse meat balls or poo cake.  Not a bad week really

P.S. Thank you to Jamie for being the second person EVER to leave a comment on my blog. It made me feel special :)

...is apologising again for a rather large gap between blog posts as I really have no excuse other than I'm a bit lazy and disorganised. Sorry.

So I think the title just about covers it.  Yes, I am rubbish at blogging.  I was feeling fairly proud of myself this time last year for having started this blog, but clearly as with most new bloggers my life has got in the way.  My aims when starting this blog were to encourage myself to write more and to do at least one post a month.  To be fair I did 13 posts last year but given the 6 month gap it doesn't seem that much of an achievement.  

So without making any promises I am going to try to do better.  Starting now-ish.  Might have a cup of tea first... and reorganise my jewellery box... and do some washing.

Anyway you get the idea. Here's what has be happening for the past six months...

I've moved again! As of 11 days ago I am now a London resident.  Although Brighton was wonderful it just wasn't near enough to my lovely Mr. D, and as my tenancy was nearly up it seemed like the right time to make the move.  Here's my new house...

Its in south London and along with Mr.D I have two new housemates called Natalie and Nanette.

Here is my room...

It seemed like a good idea to have my own room just because I have quite a lot of stuff.

Here is Mr.D concentrating in our front room.

I'm currently a lady of leisure, or at least until I find a job but lets not talk about that.  So apart from moving house I've basically spent the last 6 months working, or at least it feels like I did.  It had its ups and downs but I made some lovely friends who I'm sure I'll stay in touch with.  Here's a picture of us all at my leaving dinner...

From left to right: Kerry, Kate, Chloe, Becca, Me and Katie at Bill's cafe. 

I made lots of other friends but I don't seem to have pictures of any of them! But I will miss them all, especially you Laura B!

Anyway that's all for now.  Hopefully there will be a new interesting blog post soon.  Who knows?
