Oscars 2013: My very important opinions

So I started a post reviewing the fashion at the Oscars, but it was so long I had to stop halfway through and have a nap. I was just rambling on about nonsense and I think I cracked a joke about how me and Daniel Day Lewis's wife were practically the same person because we have a similar dress. Yeah it wasn't pretty or interesting so I am going to review the fashion of the Oscars and each review is going to be three sentences or less. I clearly have a very short attention span so just indulge me.

Anne Hathway

This material looks hideous, like a bridesmaids dress from the 80's. Also her boobs look pointy. I do like her face though and at least she didn't gurn her way through her Oscar speech like she has through all her other speeches.

Charlize Theron

I love Charlize Theron so much, I want her to be my sassy older sister. But I hate this dress. The only time it is acceptable to wear a full length white dress is on your wedding day. Fact.

Daniel Day Lewis

Well done Daniel on winning your third Oscar and making history. Your wife deserves it seeing as she had to put up with you being convinced you were Abe Lincoln for months. I also like your snazzy navy tux, well done for spicing it up a bit.

Jennifer Lawrence

I love J Law as well, I think we could be great drinking buddies. I, however, do not like this dress. It makes her look like she has no boobs and it made her fall on the way up to the stage to get her award. Bad dress, go to the naughty step!

Jessica Chastain

Oh my God Jessica, you've forgotten to put on your dress. Quick go home before anyone notices you're naked, oh no wait you've just decided to wear a flesh coloured dress. Clearly you knew you weren't gonna be winning an Oscar this year so decided to dress like on instead.

Reese Witherspoon

My favourite dress this year. Even though the material is odd and the train is weird but at least it's not pale pink or white or grey or some other wishy washy colour! So you get the Sho Award for best dressed, it should make up the fact you weren't nominated for an Oscar for This Is War- travesty!

Amanda Seyfried

Hello ghost of Amanda Seyfried, come to haunt the Oscars. Actually I quite like this dress but come on girl, add some colour!

So that's my review of the Oscar fashions. It was all too pale, why was there hardly any colour? I felt like everyone looked really washed out and boring. I expected better to be honest. Next year when I'm there to win an Oscar for best Actress in the role of my life I shall wear a beautiful jade colour dress and I shall be faboo!

Head like a sieve

So last night after my horrifying realisation that I was living like a tramp I was making good progress tidying my room. I had effectively put three empty drink cans in the bin and organised my bookshelf when I got a call from work saying I was 15 minutes late. Yep I completely forgot I was suppose to be working night duty last night. So off I whizzed and it was alright in the end but it meant the mess was still here in the morning for my return.
So tonight I have been very motivated and the room is scrubbing up well. I've even filed away all my bank statements and important documents. This must be what being a grown up feels like. I unfortunately decided to watch Perks of Being a Wallflower and spent the last 10 minutes curled up in the foetal position on a pile of dirty clothes crying my eyes out.

This movie is both happy and sad. Wait! Is that where the word sappy comes from?!

 

Gonna watch season one of Community now, need something light hearted. But fear not, I shall have this room tidied by the time I next post. This is my Everest and I shall conquer it!

Oh and PS I haven't heard anything from all those competitions I entered, it's a con I tell ya!

I am living in squallor

So had a nice chill out Sunday today. Spent most of the day watching a show about hoarders who's houses were an absolute tip. I thought to myself  'How horrid, how could anyone live that way?'
When it was over I popped up to my bedroom to get my laptop and suddenly saw my bedroom properly for the first time in months.
Piles of dirty clothes that threaten to tip over at any point an crush some unsuspecting person, empty Diet Coke cans seem to be on every surface as if forming a tin army. My desk covered in revision notes some of which I'm sure are from when I was doing my GCSE's and let me tell you that wasn't exactly a month or two ago, more like six years.  I appear to collecting empty make up bottles on my dressing table and there are so many glasses, cups and dishes I probably have enough to serve a four course meal to 12 people. But most of this you can't even see as all but two of the bulbs in my spotlights have blown giving the whole room a general atmosphere of a seedy strip club.Not pretty!

Not my actual bedroom, this actually seems orderly in comparison

Now I have to say this did not just happen overnight. The past few months I have been so, so busy. I was in the middle of my final nursing placement so had a lot of work to do for that. I was working 38 hours a week on placement then a further twenty in my own work. Most nights I wasn't getting to bed until after 12 and my days off were taken up with revision, catching up with friends or sleeping. At the time laundry did not seem to be a high priority! 

But now that I have seen just how far I have fallen into chaos I have resolved to completely clear, clean and declutter my bedroom! I am no longer a lowly student but a young, professional woman and my surroundings should reflect this. Obviously before start I must go buy some new bulbs, bed clothes, laundry basket and possibly some fairy lights! Once my room is looking fabulous I may even treat you all to some pictures. I know you're dying to see where the magic happens i.e where I blog and waste my days on the internet.

Hmm I wonder if there's a competition anywhere to win a maid.

I think I have a problem...

It started off with just the one. Only takes a couple of minutes, what harm is there?

Then another one catches my eye, 'OK last one then I am definitely going to bed'

Four hour later it's 4am, my eyes are sore from starting at the screen, my fingers are numb from typing and I have to get up for work in three hours.

Hello my name is Shona...and I am addicted to entering competitions online

It all started off innocently enough, I was reading a blog when the blogger mentioned they won an iPad. 'How delightful,' I thought. 'It nice for someone to win a little something once in a while'

The blogger then went on to describe how she has won over £5000 worth of prizes in competitions over the past two years.

'Now hold on a minute there missy that's clearly lunacy! How can anyone win so much? More importantly how do I get in on this gig?!'

So she basically said she spends an hour an day entering online competitions. Well by now I was ready to have a bite of that apple. Signed myself up to a competition forum, starting entering some competitions and have not stopped!! Expect for a couple of hours sleep I have been entering competitions since 1am last night to now. I'd say I've entered about 40 competitions from the chance to win a safari in Africa to trying to win some herbal tea bags. I am a competition hussy, I have no preference or type. If I can win it, I'll enter it! 

I'm sure this is just passing phase, I'm currently only working a couple of shifts a week so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I shall let you all know if I win anything

Oh and welcome, to my shiny new blog. I'm not sure what I'll be blogging about but stick around sure we'll find out together

Peace out loveys!
