Q&A

Hi,
Today I'm going to be doing a Q&A so you guys can get to know me a little bit better. I will be doing some tags in the future so if you have any requests, let me know in the comments below. All of the questions in this post is from random places on the inter-web so I can't take credit for any of the questions.
Lets get started!
 
 
Are you a good swimmer?
No I'm really bad so never take me swimming! I've had hours and hours of lessons but I just can't swim. I do want to swim but my body doesn't let me do anything physical; I was made to watch YouTube and stay in bed all day!
 
If you ruled your own country, who would you like to write the national anthem?
I wouldn't go for a traditional one like 'God Save The Queen' so I would get someone like Jess Glynne (my favourite singer) or even Little Mix or Fifth Harmony for a upbeat fun song!
 
What makes you angry?
What makes me angry? That's a whole new blog post in itself! There's a lots of things that makes me angry such as messy handbags, people who don't walk in a straight line, people in Aldi, people who like to gossip and take the whole street up... This list could go on for hours and hours!
 
If you were stinking rich, would you only go to places that rich people go?
No as I would miss Primark and high-street stores as I don't really like designer clothing most of the time. I know you can't go here but if I had to only eat food that rich people eat, I would miss chocolate M&Ms as I miss them too much.
 
Did your school have a teatowel that everyone submitted to?
Yes in like reception we each had to draw ourselves on a small piece of paper and then they got transferred onto a teatowel. I have no idea where mine is but it has to be somewhere in the house.
 
Have you ever brought a present for someone that they hated/disliked?
Probably yes but I've never been told or got the impression so I can't really say.
 
If you was a famous singer, what would you debut album be called?
I would like something quite original but I'm really bad of thinking of original names so it would probably end up as something like 'Louise Carter' or a name of a song on the album. However, I would never have an album as I can't sing at ALL.
 
What's your favourite children's story?
I can't remember like really young children books but I used to love the Jacqueline Wilson books (my favourite was Lola Rose) and the David Walliams books. Thinking of it, I can't remember what books I used to read.
 
Have you ever helped out an injured animal?
No sadly as I've never had the chance to. Or I might have and ignored it, which probably was the case and now I feel bad...
 
What do you do to keep fit?
Nothing, only PE at school. I know that's really bad but I hate fitness and my body hates it to as I wasn't born to be sporty.
 
Have you ever had a surprise party?
I've never but I wouldn't want one as I would want to plan it all. I've only ever had 2 parties in my life and they weren't surprise ones, they were TimBuk2 (a soft play centre) and bowling.
 
Do you love or hate rollercoasters?
I hate them when I'm in the queue and actually on the ride but I love them after I've come off. I recently when on Rage at Adventure Island at Southend and I hated it in the queue and on it but I loved it afterwards. So basically I have a love/hate relationship with them.
 
What's your favourite flower?
Peonies as they're beautiful flowers and have a beautiful name!
 
Are you a smart spender?
No- I'm the worst spender in the world. When I have money I feel the urge to go and spend it and it's really bad and I usually waste it on unnecessary things so I really need to be more careful.
 
What is your shoe size and height?
I'm not sure on my height but I pretty sure I'm over 5ft. My shoe size is super awkward as I'm a 6 1/2 which is a pain as size 6 is too small but size 7 is big most of the time so I mainly wear lace-ups, which I don't mind as they're comfy!
 
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Spend it straight away! I probably wouldn't win loads and loads but lets say I won £1,000,000. I would treat all of my family and friends, I would talk myself, my sister and Dad on holiday, I would give some to my Dad and I would spend the rest (probably on clothes, bags, shoes and makeup).
 
Do you like the heat?
No I don't as I always complain, I can't sleep, I have to show my legs, it's just a big problem.
 
Do you like the cold?
No as I always complain, you can get ill easier, I complain. I just have to have the temperature the perfect temperature which is warm but you can still wear jeans
 
Which form of public transport do you prefer?
None of them really but I will go on them. If I had to choose I would choose buses as they're easier and cheaper. I hate trains (although I will go on them) as I'm scared of going the wrong way and I'm also scared of getting stuck on one.
 
What's your favourite milkshake flavour?
Chocolate- I have chocolate anywhere, especially McDonalds which do the best milkshakes ever! Although I did recently have a KitKat chunky milkshake and that was amazing and to die for.
 
What's your favourite TV advert?
I don't watch TV much so I don't see the adverts but I do love the MoneySupermarket advert with the builder dancing as it's hilarious!
 
Do you like reality TV programs?
No as I always hate the people on them and that's a big part of those shows so I don't watch them.
 
Do you like TV talent shows?
Some like I'm a fan of Strictly Come Dancing and The Voice but I hate The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent- anything Simon Cowell does I pretty much hate.
 
What was the last book you read?
I Hate MySelfie by Shane Dawson and that was at the beginning of the summer holidays....
 
If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
Either London or Surrey as they both have some gorgeous houses and it's kinda near where I live now, which is important. I wouldn't live abroad as I would miss my home comforts and friends and family.
 
How many pillows do you sleep with?
Only 1! I'm very picky when it comes to pillows as I hate the really fat ones so my pillow looks dead but it's what I find most comfortable.
 
I hope you enjoyed this Q&A and if you do have any un-answered questions, ask me them in the comments and I'll answer them!
See you soon,
Louise

Stationery Haul

Hello everyone,
I think I have a problem, an obession to stationery; I just can't stop buying it! It's all super cute and anything cute draws my attention. I also think I have a problem to pens as I have way too many colourful pens so someone restrict me!
Most of the stationery is from Tesco because it's near, affordable and they actually have some cute pieces in there so make sure you check it out.
If you like this type of post let me know so I know to do more in the future! Also I'm doing a mid-week post so I hope you don't mind!
Lets get started!

A running theme in this haul will be notebooks and pens I warn you! I don't really know why I got this notebook other than it's cute pattern and that's is very thin and practical. I've been planning blog posts in here even though I have a different notebook for that so I obviously didn't need this.

Another notebook! This was actually in my Tesco Haul (link here if you haven't read it) but as this is a stationery haul I thought I would include it again. This is for my school bag and I write wishlists, goals or any other random notes in here. I really like this one because it has a nice inspirational message so when you get it out, you are greeted with a nice message.

THIS IS NOT A NOTEBOOK! It's a planner! I decided to get myself a planner to organise my life. I like to write when blog posts are going live, to do lists and when homework is due. It's really helpful so I would recommend you get one, even if you do get one from school so you can organise your school work and your social life. This one was half price so it was super cheap!

Yes this is another notebook! I love this one as there's so many pages and I think it's super cute! This is my blogging notebook so I write ideas and plan blog posts in here. I always have to plan a blog post before I write it so I know what pictures I need to take and some important points so I don't miss anything out.

This is my new homework folder as I want to keep my homework safe and not get it ruined. I also got this from Tesco and it was only £1.50. I usually go for them popper folders but I didn't this year as mine in the past have got all dirty and bent and this one looks more professional.

I love Sharpies, like a lot. I don't know what it is about them but I bloody love them. This is the 80's glam pack of 24 and I would highly recommend them. There's some beautiful colours like the bubblegum pink, mint green, light blue and lilac. I use these to make titles and revise with as they're amazing for mind maps and posters.

Now we're going onto the sticky notes section of this haul. I've recently become a bit obessed with sticky notes. It's like with the Sharpies, I don't know why I love them but I do. I got some heart sticky notes for no particular reason but they have come in handy as I write notes on them (obviously) and stick on all of my notebooks.

These are aloud to be in this haul as I have a purpose for them. I got these to use a bookmarks, which is what I have been doing. There's 5 colours as you can see: Coral, pink, green, yellow and orange. I also use these to mark of blog posts in my blogging notebook to separate the blog posts and so I can get to them easily.

Now for the last pack of sticky notes yay! I also don't know why I got this pack of 350, square post-its (but they're Tesco's own). There is green, a coral colour, yellow and orange. I have been using this in my blogging notebook (that notebook is FILLED with sticky notes) to write mini to-do lists and notes.

I'm not sure what I'm going to use this for as at the moment it's just standing on my desk as a pretty background. At the moment Tesco have a beautiful range of stationery with this beautiful floral pattern. I have no clue what this is going to be used for as I didn't need it but I'll probably place random papers in here.

More colourful pens! These pens are actually very useful and get used quite a lot because I write with these in my planner. There's 20 colours which range from yellow, blues, greens to autumnal/dark colours. It also comes in this case which you can stand up open on your desk but I don't use it as I keep these pens in a DIY pot.

These were something I needed! I really like highlighters so I got some. I got the most expensive ones they had in Tesco (not on purpose though) as it's the Sharpie brand and as we've seen today, I love the Sharpie brand. I use these in my school books to highlight the most important notes so when it comes to studying, I know what things to focus on.

I really didn't need this pack of Sharpies but because I love Sharpies I decided to get another pack of the essential colours. I have this pack in my pencil case (which you will see in a minute) so I have some easy to get to and if I need more colours I can go to the ones in my bag. 

I also didn't need this pack of felt tips as I have loads of Sharpies but knowing me I put them in my basket. I do use these as I use these to make titles of blog posts in my blogging notebook. The colours are really beautiful, especially the pink, light green and light blue but all of the colours are amazing.

This is my pencil case the one that I was talking about above. I had been debating whether to get this or not as I loved them but I thought/think that they're too pricey for what they are. I decided to take the plunge and get one because I had wanted one for ages. There's loads of colour options so something for everyone but my favourite was the pink and purple one.

When my friend Ting Ting went to China, she brought us all back some presents! She got me these really cute pens that look adorable as they're bubblegum/pastel pink! I love using these pens but I use the pink one (the one on the right) for special things as it writes really nice.

I really hope you enjoyed this haul and let me know if you did so I know to do more! If you would like more of me follow me on Twitter and my username is @_LouiseCarter_ and bascially I tweet complaints and let you know when a blog post goes live so follow me on there!
Thanks for reading and I'll see you Sunday,
Louise
