About

I'm Alex.


I live in Liverpool, land of the Superlambananas.  No jokes about criminals or curly perms please.  It's a fantastic place and if you haven't been, you should come and visit.


I work for a charity and I absolutely love my job.

I have a cat, Oscar.  He is amazing.


I am a great big fan of books, shoes (especially my beloved Irregular Choice collection), coffee, history, anything green, three-day eventing, cats, LFC, baking, watching boxsets of US drama, exploring around the UK and blethering on Twitter.


I hate pink, bad grammar and spelling, cupcakes, having to get up in the mornings, misery memoirs, shitty customer service, cucumber, beer, spiders and anything generally schmaltzy or hideously girly.


I may appear as if I have a massive wardrobe and shop all the time but I really don't.  Charity shops all the way!  Ok, maybe the odd foray into H&M and Dorothy Perkins but the vast majority of my High St purchases are in the sales.  I am tight: I won't spend £40 on a dress.


I've lost quite a lot of weight over the past couple of years.  Should you wish to read about it, there are posts here and here, with some tips here.

I'm trying to improve my photography. My camera is a Canon 1000D. Outfit photos are usually taken by propping it up on a picnic bench at work or with the aid of a wobbly Lidl tripod (classy eh?) at home. You can see my Scavenger Hunt posts here.
