Glasgow Accent Tag

 Today I thought that I would do the Accent Tag this tag has been around for a while but I saw the lovely Stephanie do it on her youtube channel (link) she also has an awesome blog (link) & thought it would be a fun tag to do. I've lived in Glasgow most of my life and have quite a strong accent (I'm sure we all adapt our 'choice' of words depending on who we talk to). In my videos I do try to speak more slow than what I usually would as I find that I can speak a thousand miles an hour, also my boyfriend is from Manchester so when I visit the in laws they sometimes struggle to understand what I say especially if |I've had a few drinks! haha.

 Say these words

Aunt, Roof, Route, Wash, Oil, Theatre, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pyjamas, Caught, Naturally, Aluminium, Envelope

The Questions:

1. What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
2. What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
3. What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
4. What do you call gym shoes?
5. What do you say to address a group of people?
6. What do you call the kind of spider (or spider-like creature) that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
7. What do you call your grandparents?
8. What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
9. What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
10. What is the thing you change the TV channel with?

Bonous Glaswegin slang

Aye, naw, wee, lassie, whitey, gonnae, ehhh, boak, boggin, fiver, clatty, cats died or budgied.

Hope you enjoy the video & let me know if you have done/do this tag!

Blogmas/Vlogmas? Day 1

Hello so winter is finally upon us & I've been debating whether to do blogmas/vlogmas this year? I've been watching other peoples through the years & love to see what other people get up to in different parts of the world & maybe you would like to see what the Christmas season is like for me in Glasgow? I will probably vlog/blog with a few days of content then upload as I don't want to be too boring but I'll let you be the judge of that:P I'm not going to have a mad Christmas this year as I'm going on holiday in January that we booked way back in the Summer. This is going to be our first holiday funnily enough even though we've been together for so long but my boyfriend suffers from anxiety and panic attacks so its took a lot for him to even think about booking a holiday abroad but we'll see if he even steps on the plane. Also more importantly due to the tragedy that's happened in the Philippines recently I'd rather have a more reformed Christmas and focus on whats really important & that you don't need a lot of money to have a lovely Christmas:)

December :1st

Well today was pretty chilled out I had my driving lesson this morning this is about my 5th lesson to date and tried to master the act of reverse parking which I didn't do to well at but there's always next time. I'm usually the annoying giggly driver waving sorry to everyone for stalling or driving a little bit too slow/fast but today I was filled with a little bit of road rage. I was on a pretty steep hill at the traffic lights & slowly trying to get through the system of finding the biting point-releasing the hand brake-acceleration when the daft women behind me started revving her engine, calling me all sorts from what I could lip read & beeping her horn. However I managed to chug through the amber light & leave her behind. When I waved to say sorry I sneakily gave her the finger- yes that was my revenge. I also wore a beanie today for the first time ever (how exciting) it may be glued to my head for the rest of winter.

I went into the city center with my sister & sadly walked past a scene of another recent tragedy that happened in Glasgow on Friday night when a police helicopter dropped from the sky & crashed through the roof of a busy pub. So far 9 people have been confirmed dead, as the services battle through the wreckage. A memorial service was held today in Glasgow Cathedral for those who had lost their lives but there's fears there may be more bodies under the rubble. My thoughts go to the families and friends of the people who sadly passed.

This is a little summary of my day stay tuned for more (hopefully) happier vlog/blogmas:)

Let me know if your doing it this year.

Sweater Weather Tag

Ross Hall Park Glasgow

Rouken Glen Park Glasgow

Whats your favorite candle scent?

 Would you be surprised if I said I've never owned a Yankee candle? I might ask Santa for one this year....:P but my favorite candle scent is coffee galore by Lily Flame or anything with a berry scent.

Coffee, Tea or Hot Chocolate?

Definitely coffee without a doubt all year round, I'll have tea if theirs nothing else & although I'm a chocolate fiend I'm not really a big fan of hot chocolate.

Whats your best Autumn memory?

I've always said that Autumn is the most beautiful time of the year and last year my boyfriend proposed to me at the waterfall in Rouken Glen park.

Favorite thanksgiving food (changed to favorite A/W food)

It has to be soup the chunkier the better anything goes except carrot & coriander or tomato.

Whats Autumn weather like where you live?

Unpredictable is probably the best word to describe Scottish weather but when the sun does eventually come out through the chilly weather everyone is happy.

Whats your most worn sweater?

Probably the same cardi/jumper that everyone has been rocking this year the fuzzy one from Primark (you know the one:P)

Must have nail polish for Autumn

This season I've been turning to a brand called Technic in the colour South Pacific which is a beautiful teal colour.

Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

I will never understand football so leaf piles- always.

Skinny jeans or leggings?

I live in leggings or dresses with thick tights.

Combat boots or Uggs?

I used to wear Uggs all the time back in the day but they would get completely wrecked with the all the rain that we Scots have so its been my trusty Dr. martens.

Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

 I haven't actually tried it yet........

Whats your favourite Autumn TV show?

 I don't really watch Autumn shows like X- factor or I'm a celeb I'm more into watching a series like the Walking Dead or American Horror Story the Coven that's on right now.

What song gets you really into the Autumn spirit?

Hmm I can't really think of a particular song I just like listening to whatever s on I'm easily pleased.

Let me know if you've done this tag:)
