(As usual, I'll update every few days. Feel free to leave your links in the comments!)

1. I bought this!: Share a photo of something you purchased, whether it be today, recent or something long ago.

I went for coffee today with my sister and bought a skinny vanilla steamer.

Not very exciting, I'm afraid!

2. Morning ritual: What’s something you do most morning. Shoot and share it.

Breakfast... a banana and whatever fruit/green tea I fancy that morning. Today it was green tea with hibiscus. <3
I always check my email, check the news and if I've got some time, I often have a cheeky little morning browse on Pinterest ;)
Like my Banksy mug?

3. This is really good!: Find something good in your life and take a photo.
Today I got a fulltime job offer!

4. In my cup: What are you drinking today?
Today I'm drinking an iced grapefruit lemonade from Costa
on my way to work. :)

5. Paper: Is it a bill? Newspaper? A letter or a heartfelt card you received? Find paper around you.

I own barely any fiction books.

This is what happens when you do 2 degrees.

Probably a whole tree right here :'( whoops!

6. Broken: Is there something broken around you? Shoot and share it.
Where I work, everything is falling apart.
All the broken things are pretty much fixed with gaffa tape ;)

7. Something beginning with F: Find something beginning with the letter F and take a photo.
#fingerprints of course! 1. My tattoo. 2. Forensic analysis of my fingerprint. 3. Latent prints I lifted from a glass tumbler. 4. My iPhone skin.

8. Shape: Shapes are all around us. Which will you choose for today’s prompt?
Peace.

9. A snack: Healthy, or not-so-healthy, share a snack with us.
For the popcorn addict within <3

10. Stars: Whether in the sky or elsewhere, find some stars and take a photo.
My little swallow/bluebird is surrounded by stars :) Theyre all different colours.
I especially love the pink and turquoise ones.

11. A smile: A smile can change the world. I hope you find many to choose from today.
I had to have a passport photo taken and boy, is it hard not to smile!
You can see me just about to laugh.

12. Mother: It’s Mother’s Day. Take a photo of a mother figure, or if you’re a mum – perhaps yourself. Or what the word mother means to you.
It's not Mother's Day here (March 10th, bit late!). Everyday should
be Mothers day in that every day your Mum should know what she means to you. Mine is the best.

13. Sunrise/Sunset: Choose one or both, and take some time to see the sun wake or go to sleep.

We are having rubbish weather recently...
cross your fingers for some sun please!!!!

14. Need: What’s a need in your life?

My boys <3 they're the best.

Einstein, Freud, and my boo.

15. 7 o’clock: Whatever you’re doing at 7am or 7pm – share it!

Home from my exam and pigging out. Ohhhh yes <3

16. Mailbox: Take a photo of yours, or someone elses.
*photo to come*

17. Season: What season is it where you are? How can you share it in a photo?

Apparently, it's spring, but you'd never think it with it being so cold.

Still, my Gran's gorgeous azaleia has flowered for the 3 weeks

it's out every year, and it's gorgeous :)

18. Want: What do you want in your life?
Too many things to write. Good health, a family, a house, etc.
But right this second? I just want to be able to hold a scorpion without having to use a pilates band to reach my bloody foot! Stretch, back, stretch!!!!

19. My favourite view: What’s your favourite view? Your kids sleeping? Your loved one? Do share.
You can easily judge the character of a man by the way he treats those can can do nothing for him. I love watching my little men and hubs play. They love him so much.

20. Light: Light makes a photo beautiful, so how can you play with it in your photo. Could you find a little sunflare, play with light inside or something else. Lets make magic!

Celebratory muffin (and candle) for the end of exams! :)

The light at the end of the tunnel!

21. I care about this…: What do you truly care about?
Today, I care about the one hobby I've had since I can remember, and
that always makes me feel better. The ice is one place I feel like nothing and no one can touch me, and gliding across the surface, I feel like a feather.
(Until I don't look where I'm going and fall over...)
I care about having a hobby you love, and I care about keeping fit and healthy.

22. Change: This can be a hard one, so put your thinking cap on. How can you show change in a photo?
Me, aged 16. The eyebrows! I think I've changed loads in the last 9 years,
but physically, I don't really feel much different. I wish I'd left my hair like that though!

23. PJs: Pyjamas, we all wear them? {Except you nudists!} so share them. Please.
I don't wear PJ's (I have such a high body temp, I get too hot)
so I don't wear any, but I do lounge around in comfy clothes. Usually a huge hoody and leggings. This is from our first date 3 years ago.

24. Go: A green light means go, but what else symbolises this energetic word?
If you haven't already, GO to the Dr Who experience in Cardiff!!!!

Lucy & Me

25. Us: Us could mean your workmates, family, friends or otherwise. How will you show everyone your ‘us’?
Although puppy is living at a new home, I wanted to use a photo of us before
he went. 'Its the people we love that make us who we are', and this little man certainly made me who I am.

26. Fave thing to do on Sunday: What’s your favourite thing to do on Sundays? Sleep-in? Eat out? Party? Share.
Now it's getting warmer, Sundays are spent laying in the sun :)
(from the comfort of our own living room)

27. Can’t live without: What would you rather not live without?
The one hobby I've had for years, the one thing that keeps me fit and healthy, and the one place I feel like I can escape.
Ice skating.

28. What you’re doing now: Choose a moment in your day and take a photo of it.
Feeding the boys this evening was hilarious. Einstein was just ignoring the food and wanting cuddles, and Freud went nuts for camomile tea. Look at that tongue!

29. Kiss: This is our charity prompt. We’re going to kiss MS goodbye. So wear red, or pop on some red lipstick and show us a ‘kiss’!
Omg, look what I found!
I was 13 when I made this for my MySpace profile photo...
(!!!!!!)
HOW EMBARASSING!

30. Tool: A tool in the garage or something useful that helps you get through life. Perhaps in a cooking tool. Find one and share it.
The tools of a scientist. ;)
