@THEFILMCELL

                                     
Hey everyone!!! 

It's been a little while... Wait no actually I've updated quite a bit recently and am gradually gaining an audience of you lovely individuals!!! 

However I've had a busy few days ( which I will talk about in my next post!!) yet my phone beeped away at me today with a notification from twitter!

The tweet was from this company who I am going to write about today called THE FILM CELL. These guys are a wicked website which specialise in fancy dress, and fan based merchandise with some proper gems hidden away. 
Admittedly, it's a little pricey, however it is all official merch which if you didn't already know has a huge market behind it due to the success of comic con and other fan based conventions. 

I've had.a wander around their website and cannot fault a single item of there so I thought I'd share my favourite geeky finds with you!! 

1. Star Wars lightsabre BBQ tongs £19.99
Do you need explaining how absolutely awesome this is?!?! I want them in my life because I want to pretend I'm Mace Windu whilst cooking myself some shraaaaamp. 

2. The Hobbit : Official One Ring £44.99

okay it's higher up the end of the budget for me, but it want to have the one ring, I want to whisper my precious whilst glaring at strangers and most importantly I want to go all evil Gladriel on people and then whisper at them that I have passed the test. 

3. Doctor Who Tom Baker 4th Doctor Scarf Replica £44.99
 I actually own one of these. Buy it and have it in your life, it's perfect for winter though does sometimes fall in your food. Which is unfortunate. But totally worth it!!! 

So those are my top 3 buys from there HOWEVER there are thousands of things including Harry potter replicas, Star Wars model and some FANTASTIC fancy dress options, because let's be honest we always stop and want to top everyone when it comes to fancy dress.... Well from chewbacca to your average slutty pirate head this way!!

Being back Home

My year at university has come to an end!
For many that would mean mega excitement, a massive holiday and chilling out for summer, sadly for me it means a whole summer of hard work at my childhood pub. Well I say childhood, I started working there when I was sixteen years old! I have three pieces of coursework left to do and voila! I'm finished!

I'm turning the big 2-0 in the next few months which is something to look forward to (or dread,  I haven't quite decided yet) but I've decided to start thinking about things I want to conquer between now and the end of summer, admittedly one big part is working on my savings, so at least when I finish uni I'll be able to get myself sorted, Ive had one of my oldest friends say they'd come and move up to London to live with me, which would be pretty sweet I must admit, but really I need to start considering war my future is going to entail.

I look at some of my third year friends who are leaving university this summer, and they seem to have all elements of their lives sorted out, some are engaged, others have scored internships or their dream jobs. I'm frequently starting to worry that at the ripe old age of 22, I will have no idea what to do!

I've never considered my life plan, my mother always used to tell me to think about marriage and kids etc, my dads always said to work on my career, quite frankly I've never actually considered it for myself and I have a lot of thinking to do!
A lot of it I'll need a lot of forward planning, I'll need a lot of experience so hopefully, when I'm all moved into my new house in July/August it may be time to start thinking about internships or even volunteering at any opportunity I have!

This has really just been a bit of a life report at the moment, my minds a bit of a mess and quite frankly if I forward plan it stops me thinking about at the moment! I get to escape to 'The North' (as it's famously referred to by one of my friends) next week so hopefully I'll get a bit of free time to sit back and consider a few things and hopefully start the summer in a much happier, better mindset.

Till Next Time,
