Red post box

I really do love the red post box ! The one in the photo is not too far from where I live. There are a fair few in my home town. However I am yet to see on in Manchester .. and I have been here for a few years now. Maybe I have just missed them or maybe there is not as many in the city!?!

As I walked past this post box a few times the other day it got me thinking !

Imagine how many letters, cards, parcels and who knows what else has gone into one post box.

How many years worth of secrets and love letters have
fallen through the mouth of the box.

How many different post men/women have collected letters to take them away to their destinations !

I expect this little post box has seen a lot in its time on this road. I think it holds a lot of history !

I would like nothing more than to have a sneaky peak at what this post box has seen!

My My Monday

It feels so strange not to have to think about which exam I need to revise for next, what time I need to get to the library and not having to have group meetings to revise for !
Its only been a few days but I am already feeling the lack of post it notes, spider diagrams and flash cards in my life !

I have finally come home and picked up my camera, It seems full of battery for his trip back to Manchester in the morning, which is VERY good as I cant remember where I have put half of the charger ! See this is why I should never try to be neat and tidy !

Oh it has been so sunny today, I hope it lasts.. Is this the start of summer?!

Not long now..

I just have one more exam to go… On thursday, and then I can get back to some serious blogging, as well as catching up with all your blogs !

My finance exam was not very fun, but this last one is ‘critical consumption studies’ it should hopefully be ok.. if i continue to read !

Here is Lindsay Lohan, I got the image from Lindsay style. I think she looks lovely here, infact I really like how this dress looks on her!


I really love the dress, im not crazy about the shoes, and i think it lets the outfit down.
However i do think they would be nice teamed with shorts and jeans.

If you know where this dress is from i would be delighted if you could let me know ! :)

Regular Lovers




I have had a few emails asking me where my display photo is from, its a black and white, french film called “Regular Lovers”. It takes place during the students revolt in Paris back in 1968.

This film is beautiful and reminds me of a film called “The Dreamers”, however, ill save that for another day and get back to revising.

I really think you should try to watch this film, however it wont be everyone’s cup of tea. If you follow this link then you can see a short clip of the film.

Revision tips / photos



I always finds that a cup of tea helps to aid revision, even just getting up to go and make a drink gives you a little change from looking at your books ! My tea of the month is super fruit tea by Teapigs.The teabags smells so wondrous and the tea taste so perfect, I also am very keen on the lemon grass tea.


As we now use computers for the majority of writing we do, such as essays and coursework, I find it good to try to a lot of revision notes by hand to get my hand in the swing of writing for 3 hours straight ! What type of pens do you use in exams or in general?


I find that using post-its and flash cards are such a useful way of learning , once I have got my head round a topic i put key words onto the flash cards and get my mum, or a friend to test me !

I stick post it notes around my room and through my books, it helps me to remember key points. A useful way of doing this is to write a definition or a word onto the post it and every time you see it try to remember what it is describing or describe the word which is on it !


A very important tip: which i only realized worked last year, when a friend forced me to do it, was to put pictures of diagrams on my wall, you look at them without subconsciously knowing it and it really does help to remember diagrams, equations and such in an exam !


Colour co ordinating post its, folders, highlighters and pens can be useful, I always try to do this with either post it’s or highlighters ! Oh and it makes your work a lot prettier too!


Dont forget to eat ! and dont forget to eat healthy too, fruit and fish are fantastic food for the brain! Peanut butter on crackers also helps to fill you up, and is a small snack !

Having tasty food obviously helps a lot, a friend of mine always has a pick and mix bowl on her desk ! Its colourful, pretty and easy to pick at whilst reading !

I have another friend who puts grapes in the freezer and then eats once they are crunchy, strange but I think I may give it a go again, its been a long time since I tried it !


Try to make time to read something special. My breaks have been consumed with over thinking silly things but when I have had the chance I have been reading old magazines, like the one above from 2006, i think!


If it is sunny, why not sit outside and read, or make notes ! It makes a lovely change of view !

I will try and add more to this but I have been very busy ! I hope it helps some what !

good luck to those of you with exams !

xx
