Now I know that i didn't actually do a years worth of these last year, but it would have bugged me otherwise and so I decided to start again because why the hell not.
December was a super awesome month for me; I had my work Christmas party, loads of meals out, the BBC music awards, Christmas, New years and just loads of nice fun things to do.

I bought the new Essie Christmas nail polish to wear for my works Christmas party and I had to snap a photo of it, but it's so stunning and really is Christmas in a bottle. The only thing I hate about it though is that like every other glitter polish, it is the hardest thing to get off of my nails and I've now had to give my nails a little rest from products for a while. Myself and Adam also went to the first ever BBC music awards which were incredible! I hope I get to go back another year because it was absolutely amazing. The creme brulee was the dessert I had when we went out for a birthday meal and it was absolutely MASSIVE, no one could finish it.
I was very very spoilt this Christmas and got so many beautiful and thoughtful gifts which I appreciated so much, two were from my absolute favourite jewellery retailers 'astrid and miyu' all the jewellery they do is stunning and I was lucky enough to get a ring and bracelet from Adam.
Lastly, myself and Adam spent new years in Liverpool. It's my favourite place in the UK and so I was over the moon to be there with my favourite person, it really was the perfect way to end the year!

I hope you had a brilliant December and that your January is even better.

• In the earlier part of the year, me and some of my best pals went to Norwich for our baby boy Zachy’s 19^th birthday and although I ruined the night because of my crippling stomach aches (sorry again guys) it was definitely one of the best nights of the year. We all played drinking games and took photos and had chats and danced so much and it was just a bloody beautiful night with some of the greatest people ever.
  
•   In July Adam and I went to Spain together for a week and it was just everything I had hoped it would be a more, spending a week together sun bathing, exploring, eating and drinking the week away was definitely what I had needed. It was such a chill out holiday and was just wonderful and reinforced all the reasons that I love Spain, because who doesn't love Spain!?
  
• I don’t like birthdays, don’t get me wrong if it’s somebody else’s birthday then I love it because I like to make people happy and get them what they want. If it’s my own birthday I just struggle to feel upbeat about it and don’t really want to do anything, this year was completely different. I spent the day with my family and Adam and it was just completely chilled and great because I got such wonderful and thoughtful presents from everyone; my family, Adam and Adam’s family all put such effort into what they got me and I was so thankful.
  
•  Now this joins to the last point I made about my birthday.  A week after my birthday, me and all my closest friends in the world (excluding frasmine) and Adam went out for my second ‘birthday’. This was hands down my favourite night of the year, I had one of the best nights out I have ever had which is hilarious because it was in our home town which is NOT good for a night out at all. It was absolutely amazing though, and at the end of the night I just remember lying on a hill and being so happy and thankful for all my friends. It was an emosh moment and I still get stupidly happy if I think about it now.
  
•  Going to Liverpool and seeing my family after such a long amount of time was so special for me, especially being able to take Adam with me. I've always gotten on so well with that side of my family and so just being able to spend as much time with them as I could and just doing really casual things like going shopping and watching TV and stuff, it meant a lot to me.
  
• Going to the Bury Christmas Market with my parents and Adam was great, we've never really done anything like that and so being able to mooch round and just look at all the great things that the market stalls had to offer was great and I think we all enjoyed it.
  
• Adam decided that for a Christmas present he would buy us tickets to go to the first ever BBC music awards and it was wonderful! We went shopping, went to Winter Wonderland and just did all cute London things and spent time together. I loved cute little days like that, they make my life.

What were your favourite memories?

It's the last music to my ears post of 2014, how sad. Although I love doing these posts so it's definitely going to be back in 2015 don't you worry your pretty little heads (not that you're probably worried at all). Here are some songs that I've been constantly playing on repeat this month and will probably carry on playing. I hope you have all had a wonderful 2014 filled with music and I hope that 2015 is exactly the same for you! xoxo

So I didn't do blogmas AGAIN yesterday, but I had nothing to write about yesterday because it was just a normal work day and I was super tired.I'M SORRY OKAY. Anyway my day got off to a less than great start this morning as there were signal problems with every single bloody train and no buses, so I ended up getting into work at about 9:45 which is over an hour later than I start work. I was very very angry and had to send a few passive aggressive tweets to the rail line (don't judge, I'm only human).
 I thought I'd include a passive aggressive snapchat I sent, please don't judge. Public transport makes me want to rip my face off and today made me never want to look at a train again, but tomorrow is a new day so hopefully they will be better again. Including tomorrow I only had 4 days left until we break up for Christmas, which is insane because December has gone so so quick! Does anyone else feel like 2014 has been freakishly quick? I'm not sure how I feel about how quickly it's gone... I'm seeing some of my friends this weekend and I'm so excited, I'm going to squish all their faces because I've missed them so much! But I still have a day of work left until I get to see them, but I've decided to start wearing my Christmas jumper tomorrow (and probably until I break up from work). This is actually the first time I've ever bought myself a Christmas jumper and it is so warm and cute and I love it and just want to wear it for the next 3 months because its just super sweet.

It's from ASDA  and I haven't taken the price sticker off yet because I'm lazy, but look how sweet it is! It's got a 3D scarf and bobble hat and it's absolutely fabulous and I plan on wearing it to work in pure style.

I'll try and blog at some point tomorrow, but it won't be very interesting I'm afraid. If not then I will post on Saturday for you lovely bunch. I hope you've had a good Thursday and have and even better Friday x

November was a super good, but super hectic month. It is also a month that I didn't instagram a lot apparently, but hey ho what can you do! The first photo is from a night out that I had with all the people I work with, I was absolutely fine sticking to my wine but then I saw everyone else with nice cocktails and decided to try one. They had run out of vodka and they only spirit they had was gin? It was also a cocktail of gin, some sort of fruit liqueur, ice and fruits. So no mixers and gin, WHAT MADE ME DECIDE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. It absolutely wasn't and I spent the next day paying for it (drinking is bad). I decided that as I had a bit of money left over I wanted to take myself and Adam out for dinner and I'm so glad that I did because look at that little face so happy and full of olives. I also had a super cute catch-up with my little frasmine in November, she's become an adult and gone off to uni and I miss her a lot so when she comes back we do cute things like drink costa and talk for 12 hours. Lastly, I obviously went to the Christmas market in Bury St Edmunds with my parents and Adam which was lovely and that is also the photo I use for blogmas (sneaky sneak).

I hope you had a good November and have an even better December. I'm not sure whether to start this from #1 in January because I'll feel weird if I don't even though I'm not at 12.You'll all find out by January!

I can feel myself gradually getting more and more tired because I know that I break up from work next week and my body is just going "nah don't worry about it Ashleigh, you can go to sleep for days now it's nearly Christmas anyway". No, my body is wrong and needs to be stopped now. My parents have added the finishing touches to our Christmas decorations now; a few fluffy clouds are hanging about as well as some glittery/glass stars and it looks so cute I just cannot handle the sweetness of it all. I never want these decorations to go; they can stay for Easter, bonfire night even Halloween.

Me and all my pals have arranged to go to the cinema this weekend and it's going to be so good, I miss them and it's probably one of the main times that I'm really going to have a chance to see them over the Christmas period. Hopefully we'll be able to see each other a bit more, if not then atleast I will be able to see all of their beautiful faces this Saturday night. In all honesty I've not really got much else to say today because I've just been doing the normal stuff of work and just coming home, blogmas is very boring if you don't do something fun everyday. With vlogmas atleast it's slightly easier to make moderately interesting videos, when you write it's either interesting or it isn't and unfortunately tonight I am super boring. HOWEVER, I have put up a wishlist post tonight as well. So if you get bored of this (I will completely understand if you do) you could go and check that one out instead like the lovely readers you are.

I hope you all had more interesting days than I did!

I have so many posts planned that I'm finding it hard to actually figure out when to post them, which is an absolute first for me! It's growing closer and closer to Christmas and although I will over the moon with any gifts I am lucky enough to get, I thought I would do a wishlist of stuff I'd like to be able to buy myself for Christmas!

Tomorrow I'll be on blogmas day 15, so I've technically caught up in my own messed up crazy way. I hope it's not been too confusing for any of you! So after the amazing night at the BBC music awards we were unsure of what we wanted to do for the last few hours we had in London and eventually we settled on going to winter wonderland which I've been super excited to do for a while.

I know what you're all probably thinking and yes I know that 13 doesn't come after 11. I'm not quite that bad at maths! I was obviously in London for Thursday and Friday and so I've not really had any access to a laptop, and as I knew I wouldn't be doing much this weekend I thought I'd combine Thursday with today and then I'll do tomorrow and Friday together. I'm sorry if it's a bit confusing, but it does make sense in my head I promise!

So Adam and I woke up early Thursday morning and got in the car to drive to London, yes you heard me right; we drove into London. Why we decided this would be a good idea I have absolutely no idea, but it was an experience to say the least. We were obviously in London to go to the first ever BBC music awards, so we still had a few hours to kill before we needed to get ready and so had a bit of a mooch around London. I've been obsessed with trying five guys ever since I had heard there was one in Covent Garden, it just needed to happen. So when we saw it wasn't that busy we ran straight in and thank god we did because it was so so worth it! You definitely get what you pay for and I cannot wait to go back. We then went to have a look around Convent Garden and I fell in love with the Christmas tree because who couldn't?! It's bloody beautiful



 After a few hours of shopping we hurried back to our hotel to get ready for the music awards. I'll say now, this was the first ever BBC music awards and if they decided to do it again next year and you can get tickets; then go. It was one of the best experiences of my life so far, the music was amazing, the atmosphere was fabulous and the crowd was just full of really polite nice people apart from a couple of inconsiderate douche-bags. We were stood up and we were actually really close to the front of the stage which was insane, although we are both really short it was quite hard to see but there were big screens so the little people could see which was great. In all honesty though it was just an absolutely amazing experience that I'm so glad I was able to see for the first time.

The highlight for me was Coldplay, Clean Bandit, George Ezra, Catfish and the bottlemen and Will.I.am & Cody Wise. Coldplay started off and were so so stunning, they put the crowd in such a mental and up-beat mood and I genuinely want to see them again. Clean Bandit have been one of my favourite bands this year and so I was super stoked to see them and they were worth the wait, they are such an interesting mix of genre's and they were just as good live as they are in the music videos. George Ezra was just an absolute darling, which I thought he would be and I just love him so much! Catfish and the bottleman won an award (WOO BEST NEWCOMER) and me and Adam were cheering so loud for them because they deserved it 110% and Will.I.am and Codywise were fabulous; I've always been a huge fan of Will.I.am so when he was announced as an act I did a massive fistpump.
My phone died, but here are a few photos that I managed to get.
