Little April Showers

This post was inspired by Deer Little Fawn's post - here-. Please take a look at Beth's blog if you don't already follow her. She's one of my favourites.
Today, was just not my day. I've been being kinda naughty, and in an attempt to avoid having to pay parking charges six days a week when I go to work, I've been leaving my car in a Supermarket carpark. But, shhh - don't tell them.

However, when it chucks it down with rain, like it so charmingly did today the walk across town is not so fun. Especially seeing as I wear canvas shoes. So, yeah, bad day weather wise. It made for a very grumpy and soggy Amber.

Hence, I'm fully advocating staying indoors in protest until I get some damn sunshine out of that Welsh sky. You too? Well good, here's some ideas for things to get up whilst we wait out the storm. Thumbs_fotos-fail-12_large
We Heart ItHave a Movie MarathonPerfect opportunity here to watch all the Harry Potter films back-to-back, or even Lord of the Rings! I however spent my rainy days this week with my favorite television series - Gossip Girl, Big Bang Theory and Doctor Who. The ultimate nostalgic rainy days films are of course Disney! Which is your favorite Disney film?
Have a Pamper Day
Deep condition your hair, conduct all your grooming maintenance, give yourself a manicure and bring out the LUSH Body Butter. Take your time and enjoy it.
Bake Something Scrumptious
Biscuits, carrot cake, chocolate cake, cheese scones - whatever takes your fancy. Try out this amazing recipe for Chocolate & Raspberry brownies from Sofia's Journal
Play Hide&Seek
Now now, don't turn your nose up at this one! Remember, when hide and seek was played in C.S.Lewis, they found Narnia in a wardrobe. It's worth a try, right?
Brave it
Put on your Hunters and an overcoat and enjoy a stroll in the rain. Jump in puddles, have a run in with Mr Darcy a la Keira and kiss in the rain. That's something on everybody's to-do list.

We Heart It
Get OrganisedHave a file overflowing with bank statements, online shopping receipts, bills and payslips? Well now would be the time to have a proper spring clean! Alphabeticalize the lot, and set aside anything you definitely wont be needing again into a pile for shredding. Get yourself some rainbow coloured file dividers and get it sorted!Do The Same With Your WardrobeMake sure everything is ironed, cleaned and mended. Sort out what you do and don't want to keep so it's all perfectly up to date. Now comes the fun bit! Play dress-up! Try on all your clothes, and have fun discovering more outfit combinations!
