Halloween is only a few days away and even though there's no kids in my house, I'm still decorating for the occasion! I do have a big "Trick or Treat" sign on the halldoor, but inside the house things are a bit more creative  :) I was absolutely dying for the pumpkins to come into the shops so I could get started on the Halloween scene I had been planning!  I really only decorated my fire place and it was so quick, easy and cheap....and turned out fabulous! So if you like what you see all you need is a few pumpkins and about 20 minutes free time! First of all I gathered some leaves from my estate which of course are free, I tried to get different types and colours but there's only so much digging through leaves you can do, before you look like a crazy lady! I picked up the pumpkins from different supermarkets, the big one was €3 in Aldi and the smaller ones are 69cent in Tesco. To decorate the big one I bought two bunches of fake black flowers in EuroGiant for €1

My payday purchases are very late this month, but fear not...they're worth the delay! This time round, my main aim was to stock up on warm tops that I could layer easily. Last year's knits were looking a bit shabby so new clothes were in order...not that I ever need an excuse to shop. Luckily for me the River Island sale just started and they always do great discounts. I was like a kid on Christmas day when my order arrived and of course the office got a quick fashion show :) The first thing in my shopping bag was this leopard print bat wing jumper for an amazing price of €14!!!

It's sweatshirt material and loose at the bottom, perfect to wear with skinny jeans or leather look leggings (if I had some). Next newbie is this cute knitwear jumper, the minute I saw it on the River Island website I knew I had t

I'm sitting here on my sofa, with wet hair, in my onesie.... absolutely shattered!! As you can tell from the title of this post, I completed the Run A Muck challenge today! I'm sure you've heard of it before, but if not, it's exactly what it sounds like, running through muck. A 5k obstacle course of muck! And as you'll see by our faces, there was no shortage of muck! This picture was obviously before I started :)  In the weeks leading up to the challenge I had watched videos about it on YouTube and looked at the course map just to see what I was getting myself in for! There's me thinking I'd do a few obstacles and have a nice little run as well! I may have slightly underestimated how much muck was involved! The course was wet, mucky and then wet some more! I was flinging my body over bales of hay, climbing on top of tyre hills, just to slide back down into a wet mucky ditch and even tredging through deep ponds and under dark tunnels.
