Top Movies of 2015

So this has become a regular thing for me to do every year now, so I thought why not let this be my first post of the year.

There have been some incredible films out in 2015 which I have managed to watch at the cinema but last year I didn't manage to go to see as many films as I usually did due to being busy and money costs.

But luckily some of these films are slowly making they're way on to Netflix, Amazon and Now TV. I have a list of about 30 I still want to see at some point so when they're out I shall make my way through the list.

1. Star Wars: The Force Awakens:

OK so I am a newbie to Star Wars I am one of these people that have never watched it and only watched it a few months ago because my boyfriend wanted me to. I am going to be honest they're good but I wouldn't rush to watch them again.

But as for The Force Awakens ... oh my! It was incredible and moving forwards I could be a massive fan of the films!

2. The Peanuts Movie

3. The Good Dinosaur
Talk about emotional? I could have easily cried in this movie at least 3 times and seemed really emotional and complex for a children's movie but at the same time the story was incredible and very powerful.

4. Ant Man

5. Ex Machina

6. Inside Out
This has to be one of my favourite movies from 2015! Bing Bong Bing Bong!!!!

7. Jurassic World

8. Avengers Age of Ultron

9. Cinderella

The Disney live actions movies have always been very good but there is that bit of you that worries with how many they are releasing at the moment whether they will be that good.

Cinderella was exceptional and Lily James makes the best Cinderella and I think that is what makes the whole movie.

10. Insurgent

I am gutted that I haven't managed to see the new Hunger Games yet with Christmas and going on Holiday I have been a bit short of money. If its still in the cinema maybe ill go in the new few weeks if its still on.

What I Got For Christmas!

Back at work now for 2 days so glad its only 2 days, I had such a lovely Christmas break from work which was great but getting up this morning was definitely a struggle I was looking forward to.

On Christmas Eve I went to my mums for our Christmas eve tradition of watching Scrogged and having a yummy hot chocolate.

Christmas was slightly different this year as me and my boyfriend cooked just for us both this year and for the 1st time ever cooking a giant Turkey but I have to say we did really well getting it cooked to perfection and getting everything cooked on time. We then went over to my mums to see the rest of the family and to do Secret Santa once the kids had open they're presents from me.

I was very spoilt this year got lots of amazing presents from my boyfriend and his family and then my Secret Santa and best friend.

I have been so lucky to receive such amazing presents everyone knows me so well, my dad just buys us a voucher so we can buy what ever we would like. With mine this year I spent it mostly on Box Sets I needed to catch up on,

I brought Downton Abbey season 5 and the Christmas Special, Our Girl, New Girl Season 4, an anime series called Clannad and Inside Out on DVD. I also got myself the new Sims 4 expansion pack Get Together and some Tsum Tsum.

I really enjoyed spending time with my family on Christmas Day and Boxing Day and next year it will be even more different with me going to Northern Ireland to stay at my Partners.

I hope you all had the most amazing Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year! Immy xoxox

20 Christmas Questions

Oh my oh my its only 4 sleeps till Santa comes!

Who's excited? I am not going to lie but I have been excited for Christmas but not as much as I am this afternoon I woke up in the most amazing mood and feeling a lot more festive.

I came back from holiday (still working on those posts) and thought that's fine there is still 3 weeks to go but then the Friday just gone I couldn't remember where the time has gone its flew by and Christmas has kind of just come out of nowhere!

I haven't done a Christmas Tag or Questions post so here is one I got of "The Perks of Being Me"

1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?

It has to be hot chocolate all the way, marshmallows and whipped cream! Yum Yum! I have actually just stocked up on pods for my Tassimo for Christmas Eve :)

2. Coloured Lights or White Lights?

Coloured although I don't mind either

3. Stockings or Presents?

When I was little I always used to love both waking up to see my stocking on my door was so exciting and then later on rushing down to see what presents where in my pile.

4. Give or Receive gifts?

I like to give presents as I love making the effort to find different things that people might not have seen and yet I know they will love them. I get all excited watching them open them but worried at the same time that they might not like them!

5. Angel or Star?

Growing up we always used to have the same Angel on the tree every year but now I would prefer to have a nice sparkly star of Disney tree topper

6. Open presents Quick or Slow?

I love to open presents slow, it means that you have time to appreciate each one and also if your opening them in a group it means you can see what everyone gets.

7. Warm Fires or Sleigh Rides?

Nice and toasty by a warm fire hot chocolate in hand but with it being Christmas I would rather a magical sleigh ride with the man I love

8. Snow ball fight or Making Snowmen?

Making a snowman any day!

9. Carolling or Christmas Stories?

I love both equally Stories are so magical but Carolling sounds so lovely

10. Red or Green?

Has to be Red due to my hair colour, depends on the green but it doesn't suit me

11. Fake or Real Tree?

I've only ever had fake trees

12. Were you Naughty or Nice this year?

Of course I was nice ;)

13. Whats your favorite Christmas food?

It has to be pigs in blankets and all the Christmas chocolate and sweets

14. Do you shop early or late?

I always shop early, I usually have about 80% of my shopping done by the start of November or half way through, then usually its just all the odds and sods.

15. Whats your favorite Christmas Song?
Sleigh Ride - Spice Girls version

16. Have you ever had a white Christmas?
Only once and that was a few years ago

17. Whats the best gift you have ever gotten?
That's a tough one :/ I've had so many good presents over the year

18. Can you name all of Santa's Reindeer?
I think I can hehe! Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and of course Rudolph

19. What is your Christmas Wish this year?
That next year will be as good as this year and to make so many more amazing memories with people I love!

20. What part of Christmas do you look forward to most?

Waking up early and thinking ITS CHRISTMAS!!!! Then opening Presents!

So this is more thank likely to be my last post before Christmas is over unless I manage to get another Disney post written so if not ... MERRY CHRISTMAS and A Happy New Year!

My 2016 Goals

I'm usually one of these people who make new years resolutions and break them over 30 seconds into the New Year so this year I am going to set myself some goals, goals that I would like to achieve or just improve on by this time in 2016.

Goal Number 1: To Apply for the RSPCA

I am a massive animal lover and a job roll that I have always wanted to peruse, I've grown up around animals maybe not dogs and cats but I have other types.

I always used to walk my neighbors dogs for years and would do this every weekend and some nights during the evening, it is a dream to hopefully own my own dog when the time is right so hopefully in the next few years this will happen.

I know at times that this job will be tough but at the same it will also be so rewarding, they only do so many recruitment drives a year so as soon as the next is available I will apply. There is 3 different stages before you are actually get accepted to go and study for 6 months to a year.

Goal Number 2: Be Accepted to be a dog walker for the RSPCA

As I mentioned above I love walking dogs and this is something I enjoyed doing as child and during my work experience at school and collage. I have been meaning to sign up now for a number of years but its slipped past so this year I must and it will also benefit me in my application for the RSPCA.

Goal Number 3: To become more Healthier 

I wouldn't say that my 3 main meals I have a day are exactly unhealthy its more the stuff I eat in between or in the evenings. I can safely say that 2015 has been a year of lots of chocolate, sweets, cakes and most definitely ice cream and that I have gained a stone this year or at lease 10 pound I'm not to sure.

But in 2016 I want to try and eat more fruit and veg especially veg as this is something I don't eat much of at all I am more of a fruit lover on and off than a veg lover. I also want to cut down my food portions as I eat far too much than I really should along with all the additional sugary items I eat.

So my overall aim is to eat smaller meals, more fruit and veg and to limit myself to one day where I can treat myself.

Goal Number 4: Swimming/Gym

I already exercise quiet a lot as it is cycling or walking to work and then going to the gym 3 mornings a week and once on the weekend but I feel I need to put more effort in to my sessions and maybe add some variety to my routine.

I am thinking about getting a personal trainer but they aren't cheap at all, so maybe one every month even if I can afford that. I am going to start swimming as this is very good exercise for you but also because if I want to join the RSPCA i have to be able to swim 50 meters clothed in 2 and a half minuets so this is something I want to spend time improving.


So these are my goals for 2016 lets see how many of these I can achieve by this time next year! What are your goals?

My Top 10 Christmas Films

I love the month of December as it finally means its acceptable to watch Christmas films and this is one of my favorite things about Christmas.

Every Christmas me and my mum have a tradition on Christmas Eve we will watch a Christmas Carol and have hot chocolate and open the Christmas treats until a few years back when we changed our movie to Scrooged which is still a Christmas Carol but a different adaptation which is one of mine and my mums favorite Christmas movie. 

In no particular order here are my 10 movies that I must watch at Christmas:

Elf

Miracle on 34th Street

Deck The Halls

Jingle All The Way

Home Alone 2

Scrooged

Christmas With The Kranks
