A Day In The Life - January 1st 2011

This 'A Day In The Life' was inspired by a project at sh1ft.org - we were asked to record our New Year's Eve, and/or New Year's Day, in 24 photos or less.

This is my January 1st 2011.

My day began just after 9am when I naturally woke up. I dragged myself downstairs to the kitchen and started my day with a photo of our IKEA kitchen clock!



After a little TV flicking and catch up with the news, it was breakfast time. My all time favourite cereal? Squares! They're a little like Weetabix, but bad for you with a chocolate filling. Yum.



More TV, then it was time to get out of my PJs and into some more normal clothes. A day spent at home can only mean comfy clothes, so t-shirt, leggings and cute slippers!



Seems like I've only just had breakfast, but I'm hungry - so nibbles for lunch. We bought these to snack on for New Year's Eve but after too many chocolates and ice cream we couldn't manage anything else.



It's almost time to go back to work, which means we have to think about boring stuff like washing our clothes! No tumble dryer (yet) and cold weather means they have to dry naturally on clothes airers. Tedious! My parents are buying us a tumble dryer, I cannot wait!



Online fun time with chocolate coins. I was expecting the silver ones to have white chocolate in them.....



My new printer arrived last week, but we were waiting on the shelves first! We set up the wireless for the printer and tested it out - very impressed!



With the shelves assembled and the printer set up in it's new home, my desk was looking a state - it needed some TLC! Tidy time.



Tidying the desk meant moving stuff around and giving things new places to live, if only temporary. My shelves are starting to look good with my cute stuff!



After dinner it was shopping/browsing for homewares and other cute things to put in my nice and tidy office. I especially love all the amazing things on Not On The High Street.



My mind moves on to buying curtains instead of coasters, so I measure the window - what a struggle! I am far too short and the tape measure hates me.



I get distracted away from curtains to pretty shoes! Ooooh, new season for clothes - but I have no money!



Getting back on track and moving away from my fantasy wardrobe, I meant to print off an application form for a PO Box while still at work, but now I have my new printer I can do it at home! I'm setting up a PO Box for my 101 WDW postcard project as well as to take part in Postcrossing.



I've taken a lot of photos, so I start to sort through them on the computer - a lot of them are trash!



It's been a while since dinner and at 11pm, I'm not really ready for bed. So, it's snack time and my choice is mince pies with cream - yes, having two is necessary!



To finish off the day, at midnight I'm playing The Sims 3. We bought a new laptop on Boxing Day, since then I've been hooked on playing this game, the expansion packs I've got have made it so great and so addictive. I ended up playing this until 2am, while James plays Modern Warfare 2 - it's too loud and violent, I prefer my game!



This ends my day, at 2am we head off to bed and vow to get back to a more reasonable bedtime for the next few days, it's back to work on Tuesday.
