A fairly brief survey about reading habits. THANKS!
(Reblogging of this would also be much appreciated)
i have no outlets any more.
REBLOG this by January 20 for a chance to win a full set of Lime Crime Carousel Glosses! Winner will be chosen randomly & announced on January 21. International participants welcome!
having a no-make up day because i can and will. that and i really can’t be bothered. how cute is my shirt and necklace please? they’re part of my topshop winnings. i’ve teamed them with a burgundy skirt. the skirt was from primmy and was three pounds but i can’t walk across my room without it riding up past my female sex organs. grimmer.
anyway.. i just want to say that all i want is to be in a mega adorable girl band.
about to head off in to town to return a parcel and voyage out with my boots points. braving purple lipstick, model’s own blackcurrant. i’m hoping it looks alright and i’m not just warping myself with convincing lines such as ‘hey, who can deny the prowess of a girl in purple lippy and topknot?’
p.s. my momma got me a ravenclaw scarf from hp world. best momma.
i got my hair cut the other day and it’s the best sort of cut - the one where nobody makes comment on it because they can’t tell the difference. it feels much nicer and is a good two inches shorter, can’t wait to continue growing my locks.
a couple of months ago i won £250 of topshop vouchers thanks to a blogging competition i took part in. yesterday was the day where i finally spent them - i took one of my best ladies with me and between us we managed to pick items totalling to £248 so i have a few new ‘classic’ items in my wardrobe that will go with pretty much everything i own. i got her a new lippy to say thank you and we had a wonderful day. we ended it with pub lunch and shared a cocktail pitcher, alongside our friends nathan and lorah. it was nice to have a good spree, guilt free!
life feels nice, when you have a bit of time to relax and regroup your thoughts.
PLEASE HELP FIND MISSING MAN FROM #SHEFFIELD
Chris Elliott from Sheffield, South Yorkshire has been missing since 16.30 (4.30pm) on 14th January 2012.
He stands 6ft tall and has a Geordie accent. He was last seen wearing dark blue jeans, grey hoodie and black beany hat. He is of a medium to heavy build with medium length hair and usually keeps it messy looking. He is 25 years old.
His partner is heartbroken and worried sick about Chris. She’s been able to track him on and off, and was last seen/spotted yesterday (16 January, 2012) on Angel Street at the Co-Operative Cash Point (Castle House).
He may also be at risk, as the last people he contacted were the Mental Health Crisis Team on 16, January 2012. When the Mental Health Crisis Team called him back, he did not answer their call.
South Yorkshire Police do not believe he is of importance and not prioritizing his case.
Please re-tweet, repost or re-blog to let people know he is a priority to quite a few people.
If you know ANYTHING please contact South Yorkshire Police. Thank you.

when making my bed this morning, i looked under it to push my suitcase further back. i found this wig, left by someone after my birthday party. i teamed it with a crown that william (my friend is not prince william) left and am being a morning princess. good day already.
i’m off to submit my last piece of week for first semester soon (wigless) and then i plan to have a jade day. i.e. treats, shopping, long shower, naps and reading. yesss.
i don’t suit blonde.
going to bed, because it’s nearing half past three and i’ve got to be up to hand in my essay. that and i’ve been staring over this lovely collection of model’s own nail varnishes in my ideal nail shades and there’s just no way i can justify spending twenty smackaroonies on nail varnish in one go. hng. good night!
hola, world. yesterdayis family meal was lovely - the food in particular was excellent and i even managed to squeeze a bit of dessert in too, which is an extreme rarity. felt like i had to be rolled out of my seat and in to the car but it was all worth it. great send off for when i shall be making my return to liverpool tomorrow.
i’m looking forward to the start of my final semester, though am a little in disbelief as to how quickly the past couple of years have flown by. i know it’s ridiculously cliché to say that, but it’s true. i remember thinking that third year felt like a life time away a little in to my first (horrid) year so to look back at that now feels bizarre. i plan to spend the next few weeks finishing essays, reading semester two novels and preparing to start my dissertation.
life. where have you been going?
hi tumblr. i’m wearing my new dress, bright pink lippy and my dry shampoo’d hair in a top knot as i’m trying to write another essay so decided to skip washing my bonce. quick shower instead, SO DEDICATED.
i have some pepsi max by my side and hocus pocus is on and i’m off to a great restaurant later called borge. it’s for my belated birthday dinner as this is pretty much the first opportunity that we had to all get together as a family due to christmas/work/uni/new baby in the family. excited to reward my hard work with a good meal and chats.
love.
hi tumblr!
yes, i still exist. i’ve been aloof lately - so much to do yet so little to talk about, really. tumblr hasn’t really been a main focal point because i’ve lost heart with looking at nice pictures when i could be spending that time doing something more productive, like finishing the mountain of work that’s by my side constantly. i prefer using my blogspot (http://jadestobbs.blogspot.com if you do happen to be interested) so only really use this to see how my tumblr faves are getting along (hi jak, clare,kirstie and lauren) as my other faves are real life people who i can harass in real life/over facebook.
life has been odd. last month i had the BEST twenty first birthday possible and spent the days following it suffering from some form of illness which was gross. beyond that all i’ve done is watch things, do some uni work and pop off to scotland for new year. i got rejected from all but one of my postgraduate study places in that time and am waiting back on the final uni’s response. my hopes aren’t high. that started the year off pretty badly but i’m going to work out what life is going to be like come graduation in july. maybe life wants me to get a job for a bit, learn to drive, take sign language classes and try again. i’m going to muster up the energy to try and finish 7,000 words of essays for five day’s time and try not to let the disappointment take over my work ethic any more.
i’m back to liverpool on monday, my last return-to-uni-after-christmas journey. my last semester plans include: work hard, get a hair cut, buy a new uni bag, start my dissertation, purchase a graduation dress, find a job, maybe replace my six years old as of the other day phone, treat myself to new underwear, make smoothies more often and not give up.
this has been a post. i’m a bit of a tired, sad mess at the minute but am going to improve and kick myself in to shape. i’m not going to let things overshadow the fact that i’m doing well at uni and am close to reaping the benefits in the form of a cap and gown ceremony - the first ‘child’ in my entire family to do so. all whilst struggling with changing my diet (wheat intolerance), dealing with depression and lacking in sleep (my own fault for choosing to live above a night club.) heck. life is weird right now.
bye. xx
p.s. have a picture of me because posts feel weird without a photo now i use blogspot lots. here’s me pretending that i’m not ill over christmas, with no eyeliner on (what a rarity, i like avril lavigne make up okay?) and a pretty dress.
p.p.s. trickett you are also a fave, i forgot. :( SORRY. XX
my momma got me this festive hat, her friend makes them and donates a lot of the profits to charity.
i met my nephew yesterday, he’s super small and cried a lot. tiny cries with hiccups, i laughed my head off at how funny his face looked as he did it, thinking that my brother and his girlfriend wouldn’t think it so funny if that’s all they’re hearing. we had good cuddles and eskimo kisses though, and i wanted to keep hold of him forever.
my twenty first birthday was the most magnificent day. i shall gush about it when i’m not curled up in bed horrendously ill. just wanted to express my extreme love for everyone in my life and everyone who made it perfect.
