I have red hair.
that's what most people notice.
these things make me happy:
clothes, sewing, charity shops, shoes, holidays, ribbons and lace, necklaces, nail polish, mac make-up, my beautiful friends, polka dots, books, ellie, my family, parties, vodka, smiling, red hair dye, photos, clean bedding, scarves, big sun-glasses, fruit, vintage, laughing so hard you can't breath, hugs, knitting, printing, doing good, people watching, london, dancing, seeing old friends, touching the static on tvs, big hair, french films, black and white films, blogging, writing, white hot chocolate, posh voices, sweet onion chutney, bacon and scrambled egg toast sandwiches on a sunday morning, crazy dreams, pomegranates, worm wine, fresh flowers, letters, random love texts, topgear, daschunds, dirtydirtydancing.com, fancy dress, getting dressed up to go out, shiny shiny magazines, shopping, honesty, carrot cake, disney films, country walks, www.shouldbepenelope.bigcartel.com, drunk dancing.
these things make me sad:
bad hairdressers, fighting, snow, driving, bad manners, being made to feel small, when your fingers go wrinkerly from getting wet, whisterling, the noise dogs make when they lick people, loudness, knowing you've done wrong, confusion, shouting, sleeples nights, pointless questions, lateness, being ignored, when people make promises and don't keep them, fibbers, tummy ache, being poor, wanting things you can't have.

i like anything trashy which is on channel four, it's so easy to get sucked into things like 10 years younger and it's me or the dog. I also like the crazy documenteries channel four do they make me smile. geeky animal programs are good too- anything with david attenborough rules, he's wonderful!
i've only just got back into reading. recently i've read:
