RIP Alan Rickman

Hi all,

I was so heartbroken when I heard the news today that Alan Rickman had passed away at the age of 69. It didn't sink in at first then I cried. 

Harry Potter has been such a big part of my life and although it wasn't his only acting role obviously, it was the one that made me appreciate his acting. I wanted to write this post as soon as I heard but had to go to work just after hearing the news. I can't even think of the words to say how much he meant to me and so many other people and how dearly he will be missed.

He was in so much more then these few I have chosen but it would be a long picture blog if I had all of his roles in. 

"I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties" - Alan Rickman

Thank you Alan Rickman

Mini Christmas Haul

Hi all, 

I don't think I will do a christmas haul, but I got a gift card from my mum for xmas and wanted to show you what I got with it. It was a £50 one4all card which I got and there are so many places to spend it, I couldn't decide what to get. You can swap the gift card for an amazon gift card to use on amazon so I thought that would be the best route as I had loads of things on my amazon wish list :/. 

I got an amazing bargain through amazon! I was going to get the Creature Vault harry potter book for £16.99 which is cheap as it is, as its RRP is £25. I then however found all 3 of the books in the range for £29.99!!! That is an amazing price! (Harry potter Collection - link for item) I was so excited! It arrived pretty quick too and was still in plastic wrap. 

I was so happy to get these for my collection for an amazing price :D

Another thing I got was The Sims 3 Supernatural, I have wanted this for a while but I haven't found it cheap enough. In this expansion, you can be witches, vampires, werewolves, fairies and more. Its a really great expansion, I currently have a house with a vampire and fairy in. I got this for £12.46.

I have one more item on the way which for some reason is taking ages to get here :(. However I have one more thing I got which is here. This Deathly Hallows symbol necklace, I really like these but haven't bought one in the past. This one was £2.99 but is out of stock on amazon now, however there are plenty of different ones to choose from.

Including the item still to arrive I spent a little over my gift card amount at £53.43 so only had to put a little of my own money towards it.

I was really pleased with what I got from amazon, really glad I got what I did. The thing I don't like about money or gift cards that are given to you is that I always feel like I might waste the money. So it takes me ages to pick things and actually order/ buy them. This time however I am chuffed with what I got with my gift card :).

I will do a post with the last item when it arrives :) What do you think of the items I ordered? Do you prefer gift cards to gifts?

LootCrate: December

Hi all,

So, it has been a while :/ so sorry, I have been getting LootCrate every month I just haven't got around to writing up any of the blog posts! 

So I am back with the December crate, the last one of 2015 :) I just received my crate today and loved the whole thing! 

Let's dig in! This month's theme is Galaxy. 
First thing I picked out was the t-shirt,now every crate will have a t-shirt in :D yay. So this one is an ugly sweater design which is so cool. 

Under the t-shirt, was this awesome tin from Halo, an ammo case I think?  I really like this as it has a side hinge (as shown) and will come in so handy to store bits in :). 

Inside the tin box, was the rest of the box :D, every excited having another box to open! 
Next up are these pretty epic socks! BB8 crew socks, these are amazing and so comfy too, I'm wearing them right now.

The next item I pulled out was my favourite! This exclusive Pop! vinyl of Han Solo! Han Solo! in snow gear. I am so glad this was in the crate. I love it! 

Next up is an emblem patch from Galaxy Quest. this is pretty cool, I actually haven't seen the film this is from so may have to check it out :) 

Here is the usual LootCrate badge pin :) I love that these are every crate

So thats it for this month's crate, I loved every item of this box and hope next month's crate will be just as good. Next month is Invasion themed, can't wait to see what will be in there.

Lastly I wanted to share what the box turns into. After turning the crate inside out, it becomes a cryo chamber. Another handy place to keep stuff and my loot :D 

I hope you enjoyed this post, are you glad these posts are back? what else do you want me to blog about in the new year?
