Hello lovelies,

As you're reading this, I'm hopefully sunning myself on the Greek island of Kefalonia! I am so ready for a holiday it's unreal. 

Anyway, flash back to last weekend, when I met up with my best girl Ricka for brunch. We hadn't seen each other for so long, it was so nice to have a catch up. We tried a new place for breakfast in town (I say new, they moved location, so it felt like a new place!) & we had the most delicious meal, overlooking the old part of town, from the top floor, with the window wide open. The weather last weekend was absolutely glorious down south & despite the recent week of rain, it still has been really warm. 

In the afternoon, I watched James play cricket. The season has recently started up again & it was lovely to bask in the sunshine while he was playing!

I went to visit mum that evening & saw the doggies. We went on a walk around the field by my parent's house & the sun was still glorious. It was so hot - unlike most bank holidays in the UK!

On Sunday, James & I went back to Shere. We visited the village a few months ago (it was a lot colder then!) & we decided to go again for another roast as it was so delicious last time. I wrote a full post on our day out which you can read here if you like. We went for another walk around the village before heading to the pub & found this adorable little library in the middle of the woods. How cute is that! We're going to take a book to trade next time we go!

It was Boop's birthday at the beginning of March so we organised a girl's day last Thursday to Brighton. It was a surprise for Boop, she had no idea where we were going or what we were doing. We started with lunch at Giggling Squid, one of our absolutely favourite place to eat, before heading to an escape room at 3pm. I'd never done one before but it was so much fun! We actually managed to solve the puzzles & escape in 47 minutes, which we were chuffed with. We're looking to go back again in the Summer, as they've just opened up another room there that looks good fun!

& finally I spent the end of the week packing! I can't tell you how excited I am for this holiday! I'm going to completely sign off social media, so will see you all when I get back next week! : )

Hello lovelies,

I know you're probably all incredibly bored of me talking about my new house by now (especially if you read last week's post!) but I'm still absolutely loving it! I can't believe we've been moved in over a month now & the weather has been so beautiful, we've been out in the garden eating breakfast & dinners most evenings. We've also had family & the doggies over for BBQ's, which has been lovely! Honey & Harvey adore the garden & spent the first day exploring every nook & cranny they could stick their noses in. Once our grass seed has improved the lawn, I can see them sitting out there for hours! 

We have also been doing some work on the actual garden. Like I say, we've laid some weed killer & grass seed, as well as planted some flowers & seeds for onions & lettuces. I've started weeding the patio as well, but had to stop as I got so hot last weekend! I'm currently writing up another post all about falling in love with our garden, which I can't wait to share with you.

At the end of April, it was Gem's birthday. We celebrated by having the most delicious roast at a local pub. Baby Alice also said my name & made me cry, much to Boop's amusement!

At the beginning of May, James & a few of the girls & I went to watch Bo, Chris, Cathy & Ben perform in a play at our local theatre. It was such a good production! They performed Night Must Fall, a play I have to admit I hadn't heard of, which actually made it alot more interesting to watch the story unfold. 

The Sunday after, James & I went to Hever Castle. It was the most stunning day & we explored the castle & gardens before heading home to a BBQ with Allan & Maria. I've written a full post about our day here if you'd like to see what we got up to.

James & I went to Prezzo for a date night on last Wednesday. I know we live together but with our work schedules being so different, there's nothing quite like getting dressed up & spending quality time together. I have to mention my dish, it was absolutely delicious. I had the penne gorgonzola, which I'd highly recommend!

Last Saturday, the girls came round to mine for a housewarming / Eurovision night as James was in London on a stag do. We all dressed up in connection with our countries, either colours from the flag or something related to the country. We also had a prize for the highest placed country, which Char won! Congrats again Israel!

Last Sunday I went to Ikea with Cathy. We had such a good time! I managed to pick up a few extra bits for the house, including some more tea lights, which I buy on every single trip! But I did manage to resist bringing another plant home.. amazing for me as I seem to pick up a new baby every time we go..

Oh & I've been feeling like complete death this past week. I've been off sick from work & am just starting to feel human again. It always feels so wrong to me being ill at this time of year, it's Summer! I should be out in the garden with my plant babies, not wrapped up in 10 blankets sweating my face off! Nice image for you there.. haha!

Oh & I can't not mention the Royal Wedding in this post. What an amazing day, Meghan looked absolutely stunning & I honestly couldn't have been more proud of our country. I actually wish I'd booked the day off work & had the girls round because it would have been so much fun as I heard there were so many wonderful events in our area!

& finally yesterday James & I went to Brighton as we had some vouchers to use at Café Rouge. Never, ever again will be go to Brighton on the same day as the "mini marathon". The journey was supposed to take us 45 minutes max, but we ended up on the road for 2 hours. The traffic was at a complete standstill in some places & we had to call the restaurant twice to say we were going to be late! They were very understanding & weren't fully booked thankfully, so we managed to get a table & sit down to eat at 2.15pm, instead of our initial reservation at 12.45pm. We had planned to go shopping for last minute holiday bits as well, but we couldn't face the shops after the ordeal of getting there, so we headed home! We had a lovely lunch regardless, it was just so frustrating!

How has your week been lovelies? Did you watch the Royal Wedding?

Hi lovelies,

Why did someone forget to remind me how busy December is!? Literally, I have no time to breathe at the moment. My diary is fit to burst & with one day off in the lead up to Christmas, it's all a bit manic.

I managed to meet up with my girlies at Nandos the week before last for a catch up over some chicken. I also got to see Boop for a Christmas drink at Costa which was so lovely. We went after work about 6pm & it was so quiet. Perfect time to have a drink & catch up over a hot chocolate. We also went & bought her perfume with the voucher I gifted her for her birthday earlier this year.

I mentioned in my previous post that James & I celebrated our 5 year anniversary a week early, so last Friday, we had a cosy night in with a takeaway. You can read about what we got up to here for our actual anniversary if you like.

Like I mentioned, December has started! This year I was kindly gifted the M&S advent calendar by my mum, which I adore. All the products I've opened so far have been beautiful & I get so excited opening it each night! I'm filming each day over on my Instagram stories, so make sure you're following me over there to see what I get!

On 3rd December, James & I put up our Christmas tree! This is the first one we've ever bought together, so it felt really special putting it up & decorating it. It looks so pretty in our little flat, I can't wait to stuff a million & 1 pressies underneath!

We also put on our Christmas bedding last week. I don't know what it is about Christmas duvets, but they just make everything so much better!

Oh look at Harv. He's been feeling extremely Christmassy this week. I popped round to see mum & wrap a few pressies & write some cards & he was so adorable. He even posed for a picture with his christmas hat on.. keep an eye out for that in the next few weeks! 

& finally, panto has started at work! Friends & family are invited with staff to the dress rehearsal each year, so my parents joined James & I for the annual event. We are currently wearing bright green t-shirts & feeling extremely festive at work! If any of you work in retail / entertainment. I feel your pain. NOT LONG TILL CHRISTMAS THOUGH!

Hello lovelies,

In my last post I mentioned that panto prep was well under way. We officially opened last Friday night so we are now a week into the shows. It's absolutely manic at work, especially as Star Wars started Thursday & we also have Moana showing too (which I'm seeing today & am so excited about!) Have you seen either film yet?

My parents went to see the panto last week, so I stayed at home & watched Christmas films with Honey & Harv - they looked so cute by the tree.

Oh & just look at my friend's fur babies! When we got out all the Christmas decorations & put up our tree, we found these two little jackets of Honey's. After a good 10 minutes of trying to cram her fluffy slightly tubby body into them, we decided it would be best if they went to a new home.. : ' D

Last Sunday, it was my "tea lady" Christmas meal. We went to a curry house this year for something a bit different & it was so nice to catch up with all of them. I hardly get to see them over the course of the year as we are all so busy, so it was lovely to spend some time with them & stuff myself with curry before work! We also did a secret santa, thankyou Sarah for my present!

On Monday, Mum & I went to my Grandparents' to decorate their house for them. They are in their late 80's, so not too fussed about Christmas now, but we made the house look extra festive! Just look at Harv, stretched out on the sofa. He really does know how to make himself at home!

On Thursday I met up with my friend Ricka & we went for lunch at a local pub. It was so lovely to have a catch up before Christmas & swap pressies!

& finally yesterday was Christmas Jumper Day at work, so I wore my new addition to my jumper family this year, my grey festive Dachshund jumper! Just look at it! I'm seriously obsessed with it : )

How is your December going lovelies? Have you done all your shopping?

I'm finding it so difficult to juggle work, blogging, socialising & staying healthy at this time of year, it all gets a bit much sometimes, but Christmas Day is a week tomorrow which is so exciting! I can't wait : )

Hello lovelies,

Let me introduce to you some of the best people you will ever meet. At the beginning of the month, myself & the ladies from work, met up with our old boss Nigel at ASK. It was such a lovely meal & we had an awesome time catching up with him.

As the Summer is coming to an end now, I've been enjoying taking in the last of the sunshine with the doggies. We've been going on some exciting walks near my house & just enjoying the outside world. I literally take my phone just in case of emergency & love being dis-connected from social media, even if it's just for half an hour at the end of the day.

When I was in ASK with my work colleagues, we discovered a menu for breakfast there. Please tell me I wasn't the only one that didn't know they did breakfasts? Cathy, Gem & I decided to try it out & went there for brunch last weekend. I had pouched eggs on toast & it was seriously delicious!

Last Monday, the girls & I went to see the new Bridget Jones film, Bridget Jones' Baby. I seriously can't rate this film enough. We literally laughed the whole way through & I would even go as far as saying it was my favourite one of the three films. I actually want to go & see it again it was so good! Have you seen it?

On Wednesday I met Shez for lunch at a local farm house. It was so lovely to have a catch up with her & put the world to rights ; D

& these past few days, my parents' have been on holiday to Exmoor, which means I've been in charge of all the animals, including the chickens. I love going to see them & just watching them. There's something about chickens that I find so calming.

& finally on Friday I had my hair re-dyed & cut. I always feel so happy after a hair cut, there's something so uplifting about it! (when they do it how you want it of course!) I had a darker balayage than I'd normally go for, as we're getting into the winter months, I thought it would be nicer than the blonde tone I tend to go for.

How has your weekend been lovelies?

Hello lovelies! How are you all?

Being typically British, I couldn't start this post without mentioning the weather.. I'm currently sat here on Bank Holiday Monday (today) writing this & looking out the window at all the rain. How frustrating, just when you think Summer has arrived (we had a beautifully sunny day yesterday) the rain returns. Only good thing is it means cosy days snuggled up inside with your duvet & a movie & you get to see epic sunsets like this!

You might have seen this mug in a previous post, as it featured in my Monthly Favourites. I actually can't wait for the end of this week as I'm off to Gloucester to see James. We're currently doing a 3 week gap so I can't wait to see him!

Last Friday we started off the weekend with Elisa's hen do! This was part 1, a meal at Smith & Western, then we went on to our local cocktail bar for drinks & finally to a small club / bar. We had such a good night!

Saturday afternoon was the hen part 2. We started off pottery painting, which makes you realise how un-artistic you really are, then we went onto afternoon tea. The place we went was called Pretty Things, it the most stunning place with a very unique interior. We had a quiz & then headed to Cathy's for a girl's night in the evening.

Ok, so last Thursday morning, myself & my friend Ricka went for an induction at our local gym. I've never been to the gym before. I kid you not. This was a whole new experience for me & actually, I rather enjoyed it. We had a go on all the machines after being shown how to use them & we're currently on a 7 day free trial, so we get to use the gym as much as we like until this coming Thursday. I found out my friend Boop also has a membership at the same gym, so we were planning to go together yesterday, but she was busy, which meant.. I had to go on my own. The thought of this terrified me (as I'm sure people wo know me would probably guess) but despite that, I drove to the car park, sat in the car for 10 minutes & eventually went in. I only stayed for 20 minutes & did some work on the treadmill & on the leg machines, but I felt so pleased with myself when I came out! I seriously couldn't believe I'd done it! Hopefully I'm going again (on my own) tomorrow morning.. so we'll see how that goes.. wish me luck!

& finally after my massive gym achievement yesterday, I headed straight out the door again with the dogs for a walk. It was the most beautiful day & after 10 minutes of walking with my headphones in, I took them out & just listened to the birds chatting, the wind in the trees & felt the sunshine on my face. It was so nice to be outside, away from technology & the distractions of every day life. I need more days like that.

How was April for you lovelies?

Hope you're enjoying the Bank Holiday Weekend!

Hello lovelies!

I last caught up with you when I'd just got back from Crufts. I still had a few days off so spent them catching up on everything, doing some blog work & even chilling with some sheep! We have a local farmer who uses our fields to keep them in & most years we get the excitement of them having lambs. This particular sheep is called Tobi, she's such a cutie.

I don't know what a normal Sunday is like anymore, as I usually work them! However, as I was off, I managed to meet up with the girls & go for a walk, followed by a drink at the pub. Lily came too of course & we found a play park (which excited Elisa & Gail more than her!)

Last Wednesday, I met up with Elisa, Lily & Shez at Bills for lunch. We had a lovely catch up & finished the meal with a cup of tea. Shez has just finished putting on a show, so it was lovely to hear all about that & I know she reads my blog, so here's a shout out to you babe!

Char came back for the Easter holidays last Friday, so I got to experience my first takeaway Nandos which was delicious when we finally got it & we spent the evening playing games & having a catch up.

Finally, last Saturday it was Harv's birthday! We aren't sure on his age as he's a rescue but he spent most of the day curled up sleeping except for his long walk around the fields. He's such a cutie.

Hello lovelies,

 

A few weeks back I had my hair cut & highlighted. I had one of those nightmare trips to the hairdresser, where I came out & really didn't like the way the stylist had dyed my hair. I asked for balayage but I actually came out with a dip-dye with a few pieces of hair which were blonde towards my roots. My own fault I know for not saying at the time, but I came home & styled it myself & after a few tears & comforting from the girls, I realised it wasn't too bad, but still not what I'd asked for. Have you ever had a disappointing hair cut? It's the most gutting thing ever!

 

Shortly after Honey's birthday, I decided to have her spayed. She'd recently turned 6 & I never wanted to dismiss the idea of her having puppies, but it was the right time to get it done as she's 'middle-aged' now in doggy years. It was heart-breaking leaving her at the vets in the morning as she doesn't like strangers & gets very nervous about new surroundings, but all went well & she was back home later that day, wearing the cone of shame. (Up reference there!) After lots of cuddles & a good snooze, she was back to her normal happy self.

 

It was my mum's birthday on 22nd October & we had planned an afternoon tea at our local garden centre, but as Honey had had her operation the day before, neither of us wanted to leave her, so we stayed in & had breakfast together, which was equally as nice.

 

On the following Saturday, myself & James attended Rosie & Gareth's wedding in Gloucester. The ceremony was held at the local church, followed by the reception in the village hall, which was decorated with bunting & adorable glass jars with candles on the tables. It was such a lovely day & we can't thank Rosie & Gareth enough for letting us share their special day with them.

 

My girl Char was back from uni at the end of October, so we celebrated in the best way we could, with lots of food! I've mentioned the Giggling Squid many times on my blog, but it really is one of my favourite restaurants in our local town.

 

Ah Halloween! One of my favourite times of year! James was back for the week of half term, so we both traditionally carved our pumpkins on 30th. Can you guess which one is mine?

 

Also we were allowed to dress up for work the following day. I did James' & my own makeup & we found it great fun chatting (& scaring) all the customers. Of course, we had to have an opera & a ballet on that day so it was extremely busy!

 

That evening we went to see the local fireworks with Bo & Kieran. I absolutely love firework displays & although they are so expensive, it is tradition to go every year for us. This year, the display was to music which we thoroughly enjoyed. When we left the cricket grounds, it was so foggy, it seemed to happen while the display was going on. Perfect for Halloween night, as we had to walk back through a grave yard to get to the car park!

 

& I wanted to include these two new purchases that we bought for our dogs recently. Harvey got a new collar which was woodland themed & Honey has a new jumper for Christmas with Little Pudding written on it. She looks so cute wearing it round the house!

 

& finally yesterday I met up with my girl Ricka for pancakes at Bills restaurant. We had a lovely catch up & I was able to give her her birthday presents from the weekend.

 

How was October for you? Did you celebrate Halloween this year? : )

Morning my lovelies,

 

How are you all? I've been loving this warm weather lately. I mentioned in my last post that I've been getting back into my health & fitness, but I hate running & walking on my own.. so I've been dragging my dogs with me! I say dragging, Harvey is only too happy to accompany me & Honey, well, depends on her mood! You can see from the second photo along that she's more into chocolate eggs than an exercise routine!

 

I managed to have a catch up with Gemma last Thursday. We went to one of the unhealthiest places to eat in our local town.. just look at that crepe! It was filled with chocolate & praline oh & a helping of cream on the side. Delicious. And is it just me, or does everything taste better when it's in a glass with a straw?

 

My mum bought me the cutest mug last week, I've fallen in love with robins even more this year as a family have decided to nest near our house. The come & sit near you if your in the garden & are so beautiful to watch.

 

Last Friday I drove up to Gloucester to visit James at uni. We went shopping, watched movies & ate Chinese. It was such a lovely chilled weekend. I said goodbye to him yesterday & drove back home. I won't see him now for a month because of exams, which is heart wrenching, but least we still have ways of keeping in touch. (That's a lot more than we had when he went to Africa!)

 

Finally, our first two ducklings were born! This little one is just the cutest. If you've ever held a ducking, they're one of the wriggliest animals to hold! I could only keep this one still long enough for a quick photo before it was squirming around again. So cute.

Easter 2015

Hello lovelies,

 

Hope you all had a lovely Easter :)

 

I wanted to post today to show you what I got up to over the weekend. Sadly I was working 2/4 days, so not bad seeing as the theatre I work at is open every day.

 

I managed to spend Easter Sunday daytime with my family & the evening with James' family.

 

We started the day with an Easter egg hunt, which my mum loves doing for us every year! Honey especially loves helping in the garden..

 

 

At the end of each clue, we found an egg & then this little cutie at the end!

 

After the hunt, James went to his family for lunch while myself, mum & dad went to my Grandparents'. We had the most amazing spread of buffet food, followed by the biggest chocolate log you've ever seen.

 

 

We bought my Grandad the cutest hat (which completely clashed with his shirt but we won't worry.. haha)

 

I took a few photos in my Grandparents' garden while we were there, it's so beautiful in the Spring time.

 

 

We currently have a local farmer hiring one of our fields to raise his 18 sheep. After lunch on Sunday, we walked across to see them, but sadly there were no lambs yet.. Harvey loves them & can't resist saying hello : )

 

 

My mum went down to see them again Monday morning & we had our first lambs! They are so adorable & have started playing with the other sheep. (much to their annoyance!)

 

 

How was your Easter weekend my lovelies?

Hello lovelies,

We celebrated Harvey's birthday on 19th March. We're not 100% sure how old he actually is as he's a rescue, but we think he's around 10 now. He still has so much life in him, but does get the occasional ache & pain. (Mainly when he has a mad 5 minutes & goes crazy round the garden..) We went for a lovely walk & just look at those primroses! Definitely a sign Spring is here!

 

I've had a whole week & a half of being ill. Who else has had this stubborn cough & cold that just won't go? I'm mega grumpy when I don't get sleep & from waking up coughing in the night doesn't make for the happiest Cat in the mornings. I've been relaxing with baths & treating myself to a few new purchases.. this fox purse being one of them. Isn't it adorable? I found it in the New Look sale for £4.99 down from £9.99.

 

We said goodbye to one of my oldest friends yesterday as her job is taking her to new places. We went for afternoon tea at Bills which was lovely. They do the most amazing spread of tea, sandwiches, cakes & scones. Just look at that spread!

& finally this morning I met up with the girls for brunch at Cote, a lovely French restaurant in our local town. Their tea & scrambled eggs are to die for. We discussed Gemma's hen night plans & Boop's surprise birthday plans as well, which shall be going ahead in the next few months.. keep your eyes peeled for some exciting posts!

How has your week been lovelies?

Autumn Walk

Hey girls, hope you're all well. : )

Took my camera out with us on a walk on Saturday. I never take it when it's just me & the dogs, mainly because Harvey is such a lively man, he tends to take off at any sign of movement so I'm terrified of dropping it! But I did manage to get a few decent shots.

*If you do want to use any of my images, please include a link to my blog & image credit.

It was such a gorgeous day yesterday. The sun was so bright & not too cold.

Those pink berries I thought were so pretty. We have the 'normal' red ones growing down our road, but I've never seen the bright pink ones before.

Went out last night for sober drinks at the pub, was a good laugh. : ) My boyfriend texted me this morning saying he'd seen The Risk last night, they were at his uni! I was so jealous! He's now seen JLS & The Risk.. that's a little bit rude don't you think? ; D Mmm, I should start going to uni just so I can see these amazing bands live. Plan? I think so. : )

Right, I'm off to work. (Still recovering from the mid-night Twilight) has anyone else seen it yet?

OH! & if you haven't seen my post from yesterday, go read it now! #PackagePals!

Cherry Cherry Boom Boom

  Haven't listened to that Gaga song in ages!

  Afternoon girls, how are we all today? Work was really dead last night, but I managed to watch Arthur, the new Russell Brand film, I have quite a serious crush on that man, but have no idea why! It got really bad reviews, but I loved it. So many good lines & I thought Russell Brand & Helen Mirren bounced off each other really well.

  Can't believe how bright the sun is today! When I looked back over the pictures, my skirt looks quite white with spots, but they are actually cherries.

  Once again, my whole outfit is Primark! How sad is that, but I seriously am not the wealthiest of girls & if I find something in a shop for £30 when it's only £10 in Primark, the choice is kinda made for me. : )

  Skirt - £5

  Top - £1.50

  Shoes - £2

  My boy goes back to uni tomorrow, I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to him again. He's staying round tonight, then going tomorrow afternoon. Waaaa. : (

  & these two pictures are just for lolz, because I have no idea why the colour of my legs are so brown & my arms & upper body are white! It seriously made me giggle for ages.

Smile Harv!

The Wonders Of The Countryside

  It's beautiful weather today, the sun is out, birds are singing, it's just gorgeous. (Don't worry, I'm not about to burst into song!) Just taken my dogs out for a walk. They love this weather & hate the rain, so compared to yesterday, where I had to basically drag them outside, they happily bounced along today. We saw 7 buzzards, 4 deer, a fox & (so excited because they've come back again this year) 5 lapwings! They make the cutest noise, it's hard to describe, kind of like that electric noise you here on train tracks when a train passes through a station. I'm probably not explaining it very well, but its very cute! I'm absolutely in love with where I live (if you couldn't tell already!). I moved to the countryside about 6 years ago, with my parents, near to where our farm is. I've grown up with animals my entire life & I don't think I could imagine life without them. Apart from the usual house-hold pets, I've been lucky enough to have the typical farm animals too, such as chickens, cows, pheasants, peacocks, horses, etc. Because we live out in the countryside, we just have the adjoining house next door, but other than that, sheep are our nearest neighbours. No buses, no trains, just fields. It was really annoying getting around as I had to rely on my parents driving me places, but since I've learnt to drive, I've fallen in love with living here all over again. 

  So anyway, I thought I would post some pictures of my pets, so you can see how gorgeous they are.

Rosy & Emma - my first dogs. Both sadly are gone now, but they were lovely.

Harvey

  We got Harvey 2 years ago from a rescue centre, he came over from Ireland & is our family dog. His favourite thing in the world is running & chasing smaller animals (such as foxes, rabbits, squirrels, etc). He's just a huge softy really.

Honey - 8 weeks

Honey - 3/4 months ago

  This is my gorgeous Dachshund, Honey. She's the only dog we haven't rescued, I searched in rescue places & nobody seems to abandon this beautiful breed. You can see why though. I've had her just over a year now & she gets on so well with Harvey & my cat Strawberry. (Yes I know what your thinking, what the hell is your cat called Strawberry for!? I was 5 ok, I'll say no more!)

Strawberry

  & here's some fun ones & some I've taken of my other animals. Enjoy!

Strawberry & Honey - playing!

Max

One of our chicks from last year

Moon (on the left) & Jake (right) Jake is a girl :)

Honey & Harv

Oscar - he is my Auntie's dog, but this picture just makes me laugh. Especially with my nan in the background!

  Do you have any interesting 'out-of-the-ordinary' pets? : D

Meow

  Today is so sunny! Finally feels like Spring is on its way. I've just taken my dogs out for a walk, I've got a lurcher (like a grey hound) called Harvey & a dachshund (sausage dog) called Honey. I live right out in the countryside. To give you a rough idea, when you look out my windows, all you can see are fields dotted with sheep! But I love it & the dogs do too. Anyway, back to what I was originally going to post, this gorgeous dress/top I got on Saturday:

Top/dress: £5

  Sorry for the quality & angle of these photos, I'll try & get some better shots when I can. I wish I could tell you what shop I got it from, but it was one of those ones that's there for about 3/4months, has an on-going sale, then disappears. But I simply love it. I really like how the cats are on both the back & front of it & it is knitted but not as heavy as some jumpers can be.

  What do you think? Good bargain? : )
