Nat's natter !

Well this post is all about the title,nattering! I was thinking what shall I blog about,I'm stuck? Then it struck me,why don't I blog about what blogging is all about,talking about myself and whats going on in my world! Simple,why didn't I think of it sooner (I say in a sarcastic tone!) So that is what I will start doing now in form of "nattering" posts.Random posts of what I have been doing,plan to do,want to do etc...(You get the picture!) Some may think it is mundane as once I start typing I type and type and type!!!! Anyway I am going to do it,sometimes it may be boring to some of you but if I really do have nothing to say then I won't say it,don't worry.I won't go too in depth into my life here so there won't be any juicy tid bits of information/gossip I'm afraid : )

Here goes: I'm relaxing at the moment after a long day of cleaning.My husband does do his fair share of cleaning too when required but I would rather do the lions share of it as he does do more hours of work than myself.I wouldn't be a very nice wife if I expected him to do cleaning after a 10/11 hour shift! I do like cleaning and hate living untidely but I would admit I could do more,but how much more is more? I can once I start though find jobs to do and will clean for hours and hours and you have to drag me away(That is when you start to think am I becoming abit obsessive!) Putting laundry away and ironing come under the worst jobs I hate.I used to love ironing and would iron everything from socks and boxer shorts to handkerchiefs lol !

If anyone follows me on Twitter or Youtube will know that both of us have been off work (Hubby went back Mon,I'm going back tomorrow) and we went to a trip to Oxford and Bicester village.I was so surprised to receive a tweet from Bicester village! I never thought about them having a twitter page even,it was a really nice surprise.We enjoyed our'e trip on the whole but found Oxford alittle different from what we expected.From pictures and Inspector Morse episodes we expected the whole town to have the "Dreaming Spires" around every corner.There was some lovely architecture that is not standard by any means but just not as much as I thought.Also the whole town centre was full of bicycles! Either along the street locked up or people riding them.I think that is a tradition there that will never die,also very environmentally friendly! One of my purchases I made at Bicester was a Mac eyeshadow suite consisting of two shades.I cannot tell you each name as it didn't say,it only had one name "Counterparts".It has a shimmery green and shimmery sort of peachy/gold colour.I was excited to try them but on doing so I am quite disappointed.The colours seem to look very lifeless and wash me out almost.I have never thought of a shade really doing that but this seems to succeed.I think I will have to work with them and experiment with different bases to do something with them.

I am thinking at the moment of new videos to come up with.I think I will start doing a series on bargain buys.It may be monthly but the trouble with monthly is that you have to keep them up! I will include the best bargains I have brought and those items won't have already been showed in hauls.I am always getting so many comments about my bargain shopping so I thought it would be a good idea.Also more craft tutorials as I have been slipping with those lately.And the one I have been asked about and keep promising is a makeup collection one so that is definitely on the list.I have posted a video asking people to ask me questions but no-one seems to be doing so at the minute and I think I only have about 4 questions! Come on everyone ask away : )

Sorted out home/contents insurance renewal yesterday too.Normally we go with the same company and have done for years but decided this year to shop around.We looked on Go Compare (Love there adverts!) and found one and saved nearly £100 so would highly recommend it and will definitely use it again in the future for all insurances.

Oh before I forget to mention this,I brought Glamour magazine this issue as got a free Nails inc nail polish in the shade "victoria".It is an absolutely gorgeous rich and very dark cherry red.You do need two coats and definitely a base as when I tried it quickly on one finger and wiped it straight off it stained.It can go alittle streaky too but all in all great.They normally retail around £10.50 so get it with Glamour for £2! They are giving a choice of 4 colours too so may get another.

I may leave this post here and see if I get any positive comments about doing these kind as for some of you it may be abit long and not that informative.Anyway let me know either way if possible,I would really appreciate it.
Take care everyone,Natalie x
