Oh how silly things amuse me so

On television at the moment adverts seem to be almost 3 times longer than they used to be. This does bug the hell out of me but on the other hand I do have favourite adverts which amuse me a lot.

Compare the Market- This is my all time favourite advert at the moment. It's amazing. I don't have anything that I need to insure and even if there wasn't a cute toy being given away I'd still probably go to the website to purchase insurance. :) Genius.

Underdog- This is another brilliant advert just because of Joe Pasquale's voice as the dog. The opening line gets me "I've had a accident" It's probably only me that thinks it sounds like a small child has just wet themselves. :)

Skittles- I love skittles so most adverts including them, I enjoy. I love this one because of the end scene with the desk. Makes me chuckle.

M&Ms- The bit that makes me laugh is just after the guy says "Get in the bowl" and that single slice of bread hits him in the face. No idea why but I was in hysterics when I first saw it :)

A pointless blog but I think it's amazing how adverts are constructed to aim to get you to buy things. They have target audiences which play on the weaknesses of that target. I would never buy car insurance from go compare because I hate those adverts. I'd buy the products being sold in these adverts because the adverts are genius and clever. I love to laugh so these are perfect for me :D My friends and family think I'm an idiot for laughing so much at these adverts but so what. Laughter does you good :D 

What adverts amuse you?

My 21st!

OK it's been a while since I last posted anything so I thought I would post a blog about my coming of age year. Woop! Traditionally at the age of 21 you get the key to the door. This tradition isn't really used any more, but the keys to signify coming of age are still used. Now they are used for a lot of ages like 16 and 18 as well.
To be perfectly honest once 12am came about on the clock I almost cried. I never wanted to be 18 never mind 21. As it goes however, I can't stop the ageing process. There's something about being 21 that makes you think that you need to grow up now. In current times however, this isn't the case. My mum told me that she was married at this age which to think about now is strange. I'm still a student and even after that I don't know if I'll be thinking about settling down. 
Back to the actual reason for this blog. On the 22nd August I turned 21 :) 
I had an amazing day where I went to York with my boyfriend and walked around a bit in the sun and had coffee and bought a £4 block of fudge. It was niceeee :D Then on the evening I went out for a meal with my family. I love them all and they make me laugh. It was quiet in the restaurant when we first turned up. Didn't stay quiet once we were there. The steaks they do are amazing and so nice I ate so much. My weight loss process has reverted back to what it was. Oh well. Start again tomorrow. 
My mum had bought me balloons and a cake which were both lovely. I almost cried when the cake came out. I'm very emotional at these types of things. :)
When Mike turned up on the Saturday he had brought me a home made cake and some roses. Isn't he just lovely :). 
So my birthday was amazing :D I have also planned a BBQ and a trip out round York with my friends to let them have some celebration time as well :p However, as English weather and pure bad luck go, it's raining :(. However, I won't let that get me down. If we can't go to York then so be it. I'm sure we'll have fun either way and we'll just have to go another time. 


Here's a few pictures of my 21st :D

 The cake that Mike made for me and the roses he bought :D That cake was lovely :D 

 The family except my mum :D can't see my grandad either. :/ 

 Balloooooons :D 

The cake that I didn't know my mum had gotten for me. Little annoyed that they didn't bother to cover the straws with something but other than that it's amazing :D 

A video of me trying to blow out the candles on the cake. They keep relighting. It got very frustrating after a while :p. Fun to watch though :D 


After this week I seriously need to stop eating. I'm avoiding the scales at the minute as I'm scared at what I'll see. :p I'll update once I'm back on track. I did get to a 3 pound loss, I doubt it's that any more :P
