It's my five year anniversary with my boyfriend on Saturday night. Five whole years! I can't believe how long it's been, and how perfect it is that our anniversary falls on a Saturday! I've managed to book a half day on Friday so I can go and tidy up the flat and make everything perfect, then I'm going to try and make sure we have a perfect weekend. Hopefully he's planned something for us to do on Saturday night, dinner or something, I've dropped enough hints! I'm going shopping to make sure we have plenty of breakfast-in-bed food, and he adored the chocolate covered strawberries I made last year so I'm definitely making those again! I've been working on a filling up a R4i for his DSi XL, full of our favourite movies, some important songs and albums, photos and videos of us over the years! I can't wait!

I've found this really cool Christmassy wintery holiday I want to go on with my lovely fiance, so now I need to find a way to make it happen! These cute little things are winter cottages in Kilpisjarvi, Finnish Lapland, and look amazing! It looks like a great place to visit for winter fun. Apparently it's perfect for untouched nature and wilderness experiences. There's hiking and skiing, we haven't skied in years! It's supposed to be really peaceful so it could be the perfect getaway from all the hustle and bustle of British life, a nice clean break from work - no internet allowed! - just rest, relaxation and romance. It's a cold break which I'm usually against - why go on holiday if it's not warm, right? - but this looks so good, so we'll be packing the puffa jackets and thermal long johns and underwear I think!

Isn't it funny how kids spent the majority of their years wishing they were grown up, and when we finally grow up we wish we could just be kids again? I remember being in primary school and always wishing I was a year or two older than I was, and that carried on pretty much until I was 18, now I'd love to be 18! I remember me and my sister dressing up in my mum's women party dresses and shoes, raiding her jewellery box and pretending we were grown up ladies going out to a party. Now my kids are the same, always concerned with being older and more 'grown up', wanting some sort of responsibility, I wish they'd listen when I tell them to enjoy being young!

How nice is this: I bought them this weekend for £800 ready for the summer. It is my new rattan patio furniture! I have wanted this set for ages and been saving hard for it. I hope the sun and the good weather stays and I will be having lots of BBQ’s with this! Picture: rattan-outdoor-furniture.co.uk

Education is a must for one and all. Not only the primary education but even the higher education is very much essential to make a stand for you or say a secure position for yourself in this competitive world. But the higher education is quite expensive and it is going higher each. And on the other, not everyone is as rich to afford higher and the best education. But if you are willing to go for an expensive higher education, you can get help from student loans, a special niche in the loans section to provide a support to those who want to achieve high knowledge. If one has been an excellent student, he or she may get grants from the college but these may not be enough. One of the easy ways to get information about student loans is to search for them through internet. There are numerous sites that can guide you in the right direction and you can get the best of deals in loans for student. The repayment plan should be thought about and considered very carefully. It may happen that if you are paying low rate on interest even then you may end up getting an expensive deal at the end. It is always good to take advice from the person who is in charge of finance in college and deals with the loans student. Or you may also seek advice from any other financial advisor you have taking advice from so far. If you can get grants then it is best and then you will not have to worry about paying back the loans student amount that you have borrowed.
