Valentines Day Sorted - ft Pretty Little Thing

With Valentines Day coming up... I thought I would put together a quick little collage of my favourite items from Pretty Little Thing. I love this site at the mo - I am finding it hard to find clothes I like, that I can justify the price of as well so Pretty Little Thing is my go to!

-----------

KATALEA EMERALD GREEN TWIST FRONT SILKY SHIRT DRESS

- £28.00

Comes in 13 different colours - I like this colour the best as it is unusual and can be worn throughout the year as well. Also it goes the best teamed with gold necklace underneath 

FEVIAH GOLD DROP CHAIN CHOKER

£5.00!!

In love with this - a very delicate necklace with a snakey like effect on the long pendant - contouring to all the different shapes a chest may have. Meaning it doesn't lie flat and off your skin!

HANNY BURGUNDY CROCHET LACE BACKLESS MIDI DRESS

£40.00

How gorgeous is this?! 

The placement of crochet is so effective here - contouring the shape of your body to give it the most flattering look it can.

Such pretty colour too - perfect teamed with a tan and gold accessories.

KEKE BLACK CHIFFON TEDDY

£15.00

For the night time.. I love this teddy. So pretty and delicate without being over-the-top-sexy. Great for warm weather in the summer too!

Comes in 3 different colours but in my opinion this is the only one I would go for!

Is It Social to Talk About Social Anxiety?

I've been wanting to make this post for a good few months now but as i knew it would be quite a deep and long one I've put it off and off - then October came around and as it is Mental Health Awareness Month I thought, god I have no excuse!!

So basically, yea - i have social anxiety. According to the doctor its quite a severe case too. I have had it from as long as I can remember though strangely enough I have, well since December 2015,  never even linked it to Anxiety! I have watched 'Youtubers' and a popular Youtuber called Zoella (you MUST have heard of her) has also talked openly about her anxiety - again even watching that I never thought myself of having it either. I thought anxiety was panic attack related and all that malarky and I couldn't even imagine what a panic attack was as I've never had one so instantly thought nope thats not me then. 

All my life I have felt very isolated with this and very alone and just thought I was a 'weirdo'. 

The earliest case of this I can remember is being in year 10 maybe so about 14 and going to town with my best friend and for some reason asking her to pay (with my money) for my clothes in River Island whilst I stood right next to her and pretended they were hers. I think I remember just saying I was scared. I have always been a shy quite quiet person so it probably didn't seem too weird. However as I grow up I have more independent encounters. If my mum is there with me I am absolutely fine but on my own... or with new people = awful.

I am very funny about drinking - unknown why. I don't drink much maybe it's because I am out of control of myself. I drink occasionally at home here and there but I am 21 now and still have never ever brought an alcoholic drink at a bar. There are a few reasons for this; if I drink when I go out it means I will have to get a taxi home (which equals more social contact I am not used to, I usually am the driver) and also I am nervous for ordering at a bar incase I get the wrong name or drink or something and people laugh at me haha it sounds pathetic now I write it all down but I am terrified of people laughing at me. I have never been able to go out for drinks on a first date or anything like that just incase there are some socially awkward situations with staff etc. I have only ever been to one nightclub on my 18th birthday in my local town. It was okay but I have never been again - I get funny with places I don't know and there were so many rooms and floors and it the pitch black with loads of people I wouldn't know how to leave and I would get scared I would be lost if I was on my own. It's all those 'what ifs' that truly destroy me really.

I have never gotten public transport on my own. Say if I ask the bus driver for the wrong place... The awkward chats with the taxi driver and say if he is a bit of a weirdo... Getting on the wrong train with loads of crowds... It makes me nervous just writing about it.

I am SO jealous of people who can just nip to uni on the train or shopping or a weekend away, it takes me weeks of building myself up to it and intense planning. I need to know exactly what time, and where we will be going. I am uneasy in places I haven't been before - I like to know the layout etc before I go. This translates to lots of things; new restaurants I will try and google the place to see the pictures of inside, new jobs - I will try and Facebook and try and find some photos. More recently I have been referred to therapy which is a small building in the middle of my town above a shop. But as it is above a shop you can't see in, and it is blocked by two huge wooden doors. Which absolutely terrifies me - do I walk in and suddenly presented by a reception desk and loads of people looking at me? Do I have to go up some stairs? Its actually quite exhausting on my brain all these questions and making my own answers.

People who don't have these problems are SO lucky and I am so intensely jealous of people being able to go on a night out with their boyfriend and just little things like that that people take for granted and don't even give it a second thought.

Before I realised what I had, I had a few boyfriends over the years that I have struggled to do things with that ultimately, eventually probably led to the very hard break ups.
When I was 16, I had a boyfriend for 8 months and in that whole 8 months we went out for dinner once in Pizza Hut which I was SO nervous about I remember. Then lunch once in a local farm style cafe - which again I was so nervous I remember pushing him to go up and order/pay at the bar so I could avoid any social chats with the staff - however when the time comes to it, and suddenly the waitress is there I am absolutely fine - its just the thought of it.
The second boyfriend I had when I was 18. We both could drive at this time and I never drove him ANYWHERE. I was SO nervous for him to be in the car, saying thank you to people and all that just made me nervous. He would always bring it up in was very obvious I would do anything to avoid taking him at all costs. We would go to the same restaurant every time, sit in the same place and even order the same food ( to the point where the staff would know our order before we sat down - which was actually bit embarrassing)

In December my friend from Uni, also had anxiety but a slightly different version and was on medication and I remember loosely getting into a conversation with her and she mentioned something unusual that made her nervous as well as me. This was the first and only time I thought oh my god why I am so weird is that I have anxiety!
Shortly after I went to a doctor to talk about it and fully broke down. I filled out a little survey and he prescribed me Anti-Depressants. The first dose was quite high - I have never taken them before and  I was put on a 35mg dose when the usual is about 5/10mg so it really had an effect on me. Almost straight after taking them I was incredibly poorly. Chucking up everything I ate and drank. I slept so much and lost so much weight. A week later I went back and he said they had most likely poisoned me. So I was put on another type. I increased and increased and now I am on the highest dose 40mg. I have been on them ever since so about 10 months now and whether its my mind set and now I know i'm not a weirdo - whenever I feel nervous I can override the thoughts by saying 'its just my anxiety'. I can breakdown the situation and think to myself what is actually making me nervous that I haven't done before? and when I do that I think - god theres actually nothing to be nervous and worried about. If there is a problem - I will just sort it out and ask someone.

I do have a boyfriend now - but someone I have known for years. Maybe its a different kind of 'love' but I have been able to be so much more comfortable with him than anyone beforehand. We go to new places for dinner and try new things, he doesn't drive so I drive him around nearly every day - we live together at my parents. We are in the process of buying a house so we have regular meetings with mortgage people (eeek) and regular appointments with estate agents/families selling their houses and viewing around them. My confidence has grown so much - maybe it is because I am at that age where I HAVE to be independent - having my own house and sorting all out etc.
We went to Torquay with his family but had to get the train back as we both had work that we couldn't book off. I was incredibly nervous as it was a 4 hour train ride back to where we live. I managed to find a train that had no changes (a nightmare of mine - running to the next train and missing it and being stuck somewhere) and as soon as we got on the train I was absolutely fine. It's just always the thoughts of these things.

I still get nervous answering the phone/answering the door. But once I have made that decision and pulled the door handle/picked up the phone; I am absolutely fine with dealing with any problem. I am still nervous about getting a train and meeting new important people etc. But its lessened so much that I can override and actually do those things with slight nerves rather than avoiding those situations completely and becoming isolated.

I don't really know where I am going with this post but it is something I have always wanted to post and write about.
Maybe it is because when I was struggling before my diagnose I couldn't find anyone with the same problems as me. I want people who think they are 'weirdos' to know they aren't and they do a have a problem that needs some help.

Interior Inspo

I have been very quiet this year... to be honest I lost a lot of my motivation to write about anything.

Also, I do have my excuses... It has been my last year at University until May which obviously inevitably took complete control of my life. After that it was the stress of finding a job (I wrote a piece on that its self) and then it was having a job and saving for buying a house - looking at houses and mortgage meetings and all that grown up stuff. Without trying to excuse it I just haven't really had the time. But I have found a new love for writing again, I just love the sound of the tapping on my keyboard haha is that sad or what?!

Anyway.. since I am moving out, I have been looking at interiors and ways to decorate. I want to keep everything quite muted and fresh looking. 

Here are some inspiration I have found... All from Pinterest of course! Where else?!

Giving back this Christmas

Ok.. it has just hit October.. surely it's time to talk about Christmas?!

Well the deadline for this years Shoe Box Appeal is nearly a month away so I'm sorry but I have to talk about the big C word!!

This year I have partnered up with my local church to collect Shoe Boxes for elderly people living in poverty abroad. However I am sure there are local homeless charities around else where doing the same thing in this popular time!!

If not.. Samaritans also do a Shoe Box Appeal for Children in poverty abroad. They even tell you where you parcel has been sent to which is a nice touch!

Here is the link to the Samaritans appeal, you can choose what age and what gender you are making your box suitable for. https://www.samaritans-purse.org.uk

I have chosen to do mine for a male. For some reason I think males in poverty just don't get the same amount of compassion and in this case will have a lot less shoe boxes. Plus how much easier are women to buy for then men?! Gift ideas come up so much more naturally with women than men! Maybe cause I am a women.. I know what I would like but anyway, I have included in mine. 

Pens

Notebook - which I think I am going to write a message in on the first page as a nice touch

Tuna

Pasta

Sucky sweets

Flannel

Soap

A Chocolate bar

A Christmas Decoration

Tooth Brush

Toothpaste 

Plasters

And a reusable shopping bag

All these things may seem a bit boring but I am trying to think of basics people will need and maybe can't et hold of or can't get out much to get. The fact these people think someone cares for them in the world is so lovely and imagine watching their reaction opening a box full of gifts just for them. 

We seem to quickly forget other peoples misfortunes when it comes to Christmas time. Sometimes even a elderly widow down your street has no-one to have Christmas dinner with and spends all day on their own - what a sad thought that is?!

Between my Grandad dying and my Grandma going into a home, she had about 8/9 years on her own and though she would come to ours at about 1pm for dinner and stay till night time I would always feel sorry for her waking up on her own. From being a little girl, to being married and then sharing Christmas joy with her young boys - she's ended up waking up completely alone on Christmas morning. What a sad thought. 

Im blabbering a lot now but I just feel so sad for people at Christmas!

Anyway, get involved if you can.. all that cost me about £6/7 from places like home&bargains and B&M etc - which isn't a lot for someone to be feel appreciated and special on Christmas Day.

Unemployed. Unhappy.

Forgive me as this is sort of a gloomy post but I need somewhere to air out my problems.

As you are aware if you read my blog, I graduated this year - so since May I have been in between the gap of student/unemployed in the big, bad world. 

I completed my degree in Fashion and honestly I am starting to regret it - granted that most graduates in my position also probably feel the same I am started to feel incredibly low. 

I live in a small(ish) town where no fashion jobs will come available - except sales assistants and to be quite honest, I didn't complete 3 years of my life and be 18,000 pound in debt to work on the shop floor that I could have worked BEFORE the degree. Call me snobby/stubborn whatever and before you say 'everyone starts somewhere' the town/shops are too small to have any other jobs than sales assistants or managers and I don't want to be either of them. 

I also specialised in bridal wear - which, with this one I wouldn't mind working in a bridal shop - BUT the town is too small to have more than 2 bridal shops and they are struggling themselves so havent been looking for any additional help for years - they didnt even want me for placement! or they are family run which is an absolute nightmare for people like me. 

The original dream was to own my own business, starting from home eventually building up the funds to have my own studio. This went well for the first year that I was in uni but now Ive finished its decided to take a back seat and only now counts as occasional pocket money for me so i'm considering scrapping that in. I have lost all determination with that and literally just want any job that I can come home from and not have any stress or have to think about it till the next day when Im back in. I am becoming SO bored as well. Ugh its awful. I don't know how people enjoy being unemployed.

I have started applying for ANY jobs now - must be hitting on 15/16 jobs, from all aspects, sales assistants - support workers and not one has got back to me to even give me an interview?! Ive always thought as soon as you get a degree people will want to at least interview you but it seems to be opposite the case here?! My friend even told me that as soon as she took off her degree from her CV she was inundated with job offers and interviews! How awful is that. 

I am in a really sticky situation in my life where I have never felt so lost - and I ALWAYS have a plan for EVERYTHING. 

I suppose everything happens for a reason and I know that but hindsight is a wonderful thing and right now its not that wonderful. 

I am trying so so hard to become successful and dipping my toes into so many different career fields. Ugh. I just want a full time job. 

Sorry for the rant but I am sure many of you graduates also feel the same. I feel so low and so worthless at the moment. 

Anyway I am going to watch Love Island to make myself feel better haha and probably apply to another MILLION jobs!

Lavish Alice Wishlist Summer '16

When searching for some new summer clothes I wanted to discover a new brand that I hadn't shopped at before. I spend so much time on ASOS, Missguided, Boohoo etc that all the clothes began to merge into the same things! Don't get me wrong, I love those brands but theres only so much of the same thing you can look at!

So I took to Google and did a quick search for clothing boutiques. Lavish Alice was one of the first results on the first page - and everyone knows if the result isn't on the first page of Google then there is no point looking any further! 

Upon opening up their homepage I was a bit apprehensive as its a very minimalistic so appears extremely expensive - although its more expensive than your average high street brand - you get what you pay for, quality and long lasting.

Ive put together a wishlist of the most gorgeous items I've found on their website. 

If you've not heard of them either - think of a Zara based style, clean cuts and minimalistic. 

1.

Cold Shoulder Top - 50.00

2.

Nude Cross-Over - 42.00

3.

White Wrap Around Dress - 58.00

4.

Black Tie Front Midi Dress - 60.00

5.

Olive Side Spilt Shorts - 48.00

6.

Lace Strap Detail Thong - 5.00

The olive shorts and off the shoulder top being my ultimate faves!! How gorgeous are they all?!

Happy Shopping!

Update... Things have changed...

I have been pretty absent recently.. noticing that my last blog post was christmas time/related!! 

The reasoning for this, is that it has been my last semester (ever) at University! I have now officially left.. not officially graduated as I don't know my grades yet.. and knowing my tutors I won't know them for a good few months.
Since you have last heard from me, a few things have changed in my life;

- I have been to get help for my Social Anxiety which means I am now on Anti-Depressants
- I have met someone very special.. I say met - we have known each other for 5 years now and I have probably been in love with him that whole time!
- Me and my boyfriend have decided to move in together so we have started the new chapter of our lives and are looking for places/starting to collect for new home together!
- As stated above, I have finished University.
- I have started to expand my own business (dressmaking) and jump into the deep end of reaching into the bridal market.
- As a new branch of my business I have been creating 'Ready To Wear' collections, un-bridal related.

However, what I am getting at is that I now have a lot more time to dedicate to my blog! 

It has never been a blog that has been updated weekly and I don't intend for it to be like that as I want to write about things I do/am passionate in, I don't want to end up writing anything just because I promise an 'every Sunday post' etc.

Moaning aside.. I am excited to get back on track with it and discuss what I have been up to and share my creative side with you all.

SPEAK SOON!

LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS SWEET CANAPE IDEA

As I was preparing for Christmas I was trying to find nice sweet treat ideas that were effective but still simple to make as I have so much more to do regarding the actual dinner let alone the night time buffet!!

I love these marshmallows. They are simple, cheap, effective and taste good (if you have a sweet tooth!) 

You don't exactly need a recipe for these - or even a method haha as they are effectively just marshmallows dipped in chocolate. I just fancied taking photos as I was creating them!! 

I have made them for two sets of parties now and everyone has come up to me to tell me how lovely they were and how I made them (not sure if that's a joke though... haha)

I added some Christmas themed decorations on them to get them all party-like.

I would buy a full bar of chocolate but only melt 4/5 squares at a time as it is surprising how much chocolate it makes once its melted! 

Twist the marshmallows into the chocolate to get a good covering and then place them on your tray!
Stick the decorations on (if wanted) whilst the chocolate is still wet so it sticks well!

Once all done - place the trays in the fridge. Once dry, the trays/marshmallows can be stacked on top of each other to save space!

I got all my ingredients from Home Bargains. The trays - 79p each, the marshmallows - £1, the chocolate - £1 and the decorations -79p each!!

Serve these up along side your pudding platters or dot them round the room like canape trays!

'Christmas Party' Season Pretty Little Thing Wish List

As Christmas is slowly (but quickly) creeping upon us I thought I would do a quick Christmas Party wishlist from Pretty Little Thing as you all seemed to love the last wish list I did from them! I still cant believe how many views it got in the first few hours! but thankyou!

ANYWAY - 
1 -  This is a great top to dress up and dress down. Especially if your Christmas party is a meal out or something slightly more casual! I also love the recently popular trend of wearing a detailed triangle bra/lace bralet underneath to give a little bit of sexiness away if you dont want to actually get your boobs out/have none to get out even if you wanted too (like me) Buy it here - £15

2 - How gorgeous is this dress?! Perfect for the slightly more extravagant Christmas party. You can wear it again and again - black tie events etc and even a prom?! so elegant and affordable! Buy it here - £25

3 - glitter and sequins... what else best describes Christmas?! I love this for your Christmas night out with your girls etc. It could easily be worn again without looking too Christmassy but screams Christmas when worn in the right season! Buy it here - £30

4 - A slightly more 'demure' version of number 3. Subtler glitz and slightly longer but still gorgeous. Ability to wear again without Christmas - 10/10. Buy it here - £25

5 - I think this is my favourite one! The shape and silhouette is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colour, the neckline - everything! They have got this spot on with the design! Perfect to dress up and dress down depending non what night you have planned and super amazing if you have lumps, bumps and problem areas as it doesn't cling to everything you have! Buy it here - £25


Hope you've enjoyed this just as much as my previous wish list. Happy shopping and have a lovely Christmas Party!!!

Pretty Little Thing Wish List - Autumnal Wear

I have heard of the online retailer 'PrettyLittleThing' for a while - its been around on a lot adverts lately, but I have never really checked it out as I only trust ASOS as my shopping destination when the shop is only online. 

I have had some trouble with Miss Guided so that has put me off. The quality is never ever the same as it looks on the pictures and a lot of my friends have had trouble with their delivery/refund policy. 

So as a quick intro into this brand - if, like me, your not really into investigating new online retailers, I thought I would put together a 'wish list' piece of some of my favourite clothes in their 'New In' section. Keeping it as Autumn as possible as shops have started to slowly filter out their Summer sections.

They also seem to always have good offers on - as I was looking there was 20% off all dresses until that midnight, free delivery (winner) til the following midnight AND 15% student discount!

1. Shirt Dress - £20 I'm not normally a fan of shirt dresses but I like this as its long enough to wear in Summer on holiday with lace up gladiators, and then with white jeans in the Summer but back in the UK. But also with dark jeans/leggings when transitioning into the Autumn!

2. Trousers - £15 - I love these! Again - I'm not really a fan of trousers as I don't really have anywhere to wear them like work etc but these work for me as they are so versatile. They can be worn as shown for a nice dinner date or worn with flat shoes for your office job which isnt quite a boring suit situation. Failing that you can just roll around your house in them pretending as if you have something important to do.. somewhere.. but not sure where. Thats what I will do anyway.

3. Backless Dress - £10 I know this is probably unsuitable for Autumn but its a going out dress, and me and all my friends (and everyone I have ever seen go out) won't let the weather stop us in our outfit choice for the night out! Even in snow we are in small clothes and heels!! And with this colour being a wine-y shade of red I think it kinda fits in with the theme! It's flattering on all skin colours as it is so warming(it does come in 4 different Autumnal colours). And only 10 bloody ££££££'s. 

4.Grey Jumper - £15 I LOVE this jumper. I love how its styled, I love the mix of colours, and I love the chunky knit of it. So much so, that as I was clicking through the collection to find some stuff for this post I quickly ordered it haha!! Not much more to say other than I really love it! And want to get myself some Chelsea boots to match now!

5. Boots - £20 - Last but not least I have chosen some shoes. I went for more winter shoes than heels as they would be worn more than strappy little things. I like these as they come up slightly higher than ankle boots so give you more protection against the cold/snow, and they also have a nice heel on them too as there is nothing worse than completely flat shoes - it makes me back ache terribly! I like the cute little gold detailing too!

GladSkin Review For Adult Acne

Since puberty really I have had spots. And I am not just talking about the odd one here and there i'm talking a full face of angry redness. When I think about Acne I think of really awful scars etc but when I took my 'before' pictures for this trial I realised bloody hell I really do have acne haha. Its pretty depressing, I cant even contemplate having a day where makeup isnt an option. 

So when a trial came up from GladSkin - I couldnt refuse. They pride themselves on their acne gel which eats all the bad bacteria off your face - which leads to the angry spots. I also have dry skin in places (T section) where I over scrub. No amount of moisturizer heals this so I opted to try their Daily Care cream too!

This is how it came, with instructions too. 

You apply the gel on your face 2-3 times a day ( I do it morning and night and extra in the day if I am having a bad skin day) and once that is dry (2-3 mins) you apply the cream over the top!

You wait for a few mins and then do your daily makeup/skin routine. 

I have used these both for a few days and noticed my skin was actually getting slightly worse - though I dont know if that's because I am coming up to my period and thats when my skin gets the worse no matter what I do. However, I have read my own reviews on this product and a lot of them say that their skin went through a bad phase but then came out good. So I am persevering haha and hoping "it has to get worse before it gets better" rings true as it is my graduation coming up!!! 

I have taken my 'before' pics (and very apprehensive about posting them as I have never noticed how ugly I am haha) and will take my 'after' pics once I have completed the trial.

UPDATED Hair Worx - Hair Growth Review

I think I may not be the only person in the world to have SUPER slow growing hair.. It has taken me approx 20 years to grow it half way down my back (3 inches past my boobs for reference) so I have been thinking about buying some hair/skin/nails style tablets. I brought some from Superdrug a few years ago and they were so huge!! probably the size of my little finger nail (I have long nails) I'm not too bad with swallowing tablets but they were unbearable and would stick down my throat so they would leave a horrible after taste. To be honest I didn't even notice much difference after the course anyway so I gave up hope. I had been thinking about taking some again as its my graduation coming up and wanted to look the best possible (my hair is awfully thin and I have slight adult acne). I was delighted to be kindly gifted these tablets by Hair Worx. I will be doing a 'before and after' post once I have finished the course of tablets as well so you can see the difference yourself :). 

I have been taking them for a week now and I can honestly say I can see a tiny bit of difference. I'm not expecting miracles as my hair isn't great anyway but I am hoping just to finally be happy with what I look like. In addition to this, my skin has also calmed down too. I know the tablets aren't specifically for skin but as the tablets are a mixture of different vitamins etc vital for hair growth which also relates to clear skin and nail growth. 

Here is where you can check them out on their website; http://www.tnhealth.co.uk/

and their Amazon link; Amazon

UPDATE

I have finally finished the course of this product! I have taken before and after photos to see if you can see the difference. I personally can - its not had a rapid growth as my hair isn't like that so it just wouldn't be possible. BUT I have noticed a change in growth as I have noticed I haven't needed a trim so often so therefore it's been getting longer because less has been taken off. Which leads me onto the saying the quality of my hair has changed, its gone from being quite coarse and dry to extremely shiny and manageable! The product is a mix of supplements to help promote healthy hair and as I am a vegetarian I dont get a lot of protein or iron (promoting strong hair) so this has really benefited me!

Between these photos I have had one hair trim (a month ago) and dyed my hair the night before!!

Fun In Blackpool!

Welcome to Blackpool..

Last Saturday, I traveled up to Blackpool with two of my best friends with the intentions of lots of chips, laughs and penny machines! We met our other best friend Abbey up there as she was moving home from Uni (preston) and we decided to help her whilst making a day of it!!

First of all we were starving so we got some chips and fish 'barms' (massive piece of fish between bread) they were so hot and crispy - so delicious!! I love seaside food, so much so that my mouth is watering and i'm going to have to go and get my tea haha... I'm back!!

We decided to go and sit on the beach to eat our food - however, we forgot the trauma of the seagulls which saw the food and went for us all! We just kept running and running - it was horrific as I hate hate hate seagulls haha but obviously absolutely hilarious to look back on!!

After that traumatic experience - we then decided we actually wanted to do something whilst we were there so we got tickets for Madame Tussauds and the Sea Life Center for only £20 which I thought was really good considering a normal ticket for one thing is £16.50! I have a feeling things in Blackpool are infamous for being tacky and rubbish? Not sure if I am right haha but this first place was definitely a mix between the two! Some were crazy good - enough to want to look into their eyes to make sure they werent real as we have all seen those celeb pranks where the people are posing and the celeb suddenly moves! However - some were completely AWFUL! not sure if they havent been updated or just genuinely bad, hence the labels underneath them all... (ps try and spot the horrendous ones!)
