sick and tired


I am so sick of being sick and tired. After having only 2 hours sleep last night, I booked the afternoon off work so I could come home and do nothing at all. I bought some of my favourite foods (Kettle Chips, raspberries, strawberry milkshake and Milky Bar) and actually made the time to sit down and read a book! I haven't read a book in so long and I've really missed it.

I've heard good things about Bill Bryson from my mum so I'm looking forward to reading the book Down Under. I'll be sure to do a cheeky review once it's done. I have so many books that I have bought but not had the time to read. I need to make the time.

In other news, today I got a call from my doctors to arrange a date for a minor surgery. As you may have seen in some of my outfit posts, I have a birth mark on my left arm. I am really self conscious about it so I'm pleased I can finally get it removed.

say yes more



You may of seen Yes Man the film? It was based on this book written by Danny Wallace. I am a huge fan of Danny Wallace, his books are so funny and inspirational.
Just like the film, Danny says Yes to everything! I prefer the book because what is written in the pages, actually happened to Danny and it is amazing to see how one small word changed his life. I won't give the story line away but I urge you to read it!
I think this is one of the only books that has had me laughing out loud. Not a little chuckle, but a full blown laughing-uncontrollable-until-your-stomach-hurts laugh! Reading it in public will get you some weird looks. I read it on a train once and I literally had to put it away because I was laughing so much. Then I would think about the book and just sit there laughing to myself! So embarrassing! As well as laughing my head off, this book makes me cry! It's brilliantly written and will make you look at your own life, and hopefully Say Yes More.

I have a small collection of Danny Wallace books, and I need to get more. He is out to do good in the world, especially in his book Join Me, and it is a great read along the way!

If you have read any of his books or buy any after this post, please let me know what you think!
