    What happens in Night Circus? That sounds interesting!

    Does anyone have any recommendations for quirky books with a strong female lead? I think those are my fave, so I can live precariously.

    My favourite books are The Bell Jar, Go Ask Alice and Memoirs Of A Geisha - so anything similar you've read, loved and could recommend would be amazing! Love

    Feel free to tell me off if you think I'm being a little OCD but I love seeing how everyone organizes their homes differently, so let's start lots of How do you organize your... topics and each share a photo of how we do it. It'll be awesome inspiration and we might all learn some new ideas to get tidy and save space. I'm starting with spices:

    I keep my sices in little square jars (the type they come in for Tesco's own brand), wash off the labels, paint them with chalkboard paint and then relabel them with chalk. Every time I use up a spice, I save my jar and put something else from my spice stash in it. They all sit neatly in a little row behind my kitchen and stack really well because they're square.

    Urgh, as you may tell from the timing of this post, I really struggle to sleep sometimes.

    It's been that way since I was little but at the moment, I'm waking up after just a few hours sleep and that's all I'm getting a night. I feel a bit like a zombie Fail

    Does anyone have any awesome tips I can try to get a better night sleep? I'm desperate, so I'll try anything! Sleepy

    Bobbin wakes up just before sunrise (4am-ish at the moment), tries to burrow under the blanket and forgets that my feet aren't mice that she needs to catch. Owe Sad

    She also likes to jump on my head if I'm not waking up but she's so cute that she could get away with murder in my books Love

    Aww we love you to Cheryl and all of your amazing makes Love

    Can I be nosy and ask how long it takes to put together your videos? I've always been tempted to make a craft video but I'm a little hesitant to start, in case it takes ages.... but mainly because I'm camera shy! Embarrassed

    It's a gypsy caravan style park near the Borders that Tom took me to for my birthday. The Roulette's were so pretty and cosy inside. Also lots of stars and you can have a picnic on your patio (see how happy Tom was Love ):
