Insane in the Membrane


Yesterday me and my mum went to Bath. We were meant to go to Bristol, but mum missed the turning on the motorway, so decided on Bath instead. 
Now if anyone knows my mum (Good ol’ Mandy) they know she spends many, many hours entering online competitions. Although widely rumoured to be a complete waste of time and a con, they’re not. Some of the stuff she’s won: 
-A few holidays to Spain/Turkey
-A weekend, all-inclusive trip to Champney's spa

-A DS Lite
-£100 worth of ASOS vouchers
-Take That gig tickets
-Girls Aloud gig tickets
-One of those big bouncy balls that you sit on (I’ve completely forgotten what they’re called)
-A years supply of muesli
-Books
And so much more. Anyway, the reason we were going to Bristol/Bath is because mum won £500 worth of Jigsaw vouchers. An over priced, retailer that sells pretty average clothes in my opinion. A lot of it is timeless in it’s design, but me, being the tightwad I am, find it expensive. I had £250 in vouchers to spend after my brother had the other half.
I bought this navy front knot top (RRP: £39)










This spotty silk top: (RRP: £119)










And these jeans: (
RRP: £79)









-Excuse the awful photos, I haven't got a camera at the moment so webcam had to do-



I’d definitely never spend anywhere near the amount that should have been paid for these, but it’s alright for free.
On the way home, we had some delightful food in a little pub called ‘The Globe.’ Probably the best chicken I’ve ever had while eating out (I normally find it dry and disappointing). After that I slept during the treacherous cross-over on the bridge - It’s been blowing a gale outside!
Afterwards, I went for some drinks at my friend Caitlin’s house. We haven’t had a night, just us drinking wine, in far too long. Then caught a taxi (which probably took longer than if we were to have walked) to the pub. Watched some lovely live music (which happens rarely these days, unfortunately.) Before coming home to sleep. I’m going to my first hen party at about 1pm, so that should be a blast! There’ll be musings later, but I highly doubt they’ll be tipsy!

In other news, I found this jazz band yesterday and they've brought much happiness to my ears. 
They're called The Hackney Colliery Band. Check them out - they've got some great covers like Africa (Originally by Toto) and No Diggity by Blackstreet. This is a jazz medley of Prodigy songs and it's bloody brilliant!
