Rachel's Next Adventure

I'm really starting to feel super unorganised with this trip now, we go in less than 60 days and we still haven't fully finalised our plans or even bought our JR Rail passes yet! Although, to be fair the JR Passes are only valid for three months so we'll probably buy them in the next week or so now that we'll arrive within the validity period. We've finally booked all* of our hotels - we're staying at the Sakura Hotel in Ikebukuro, Disney's Ambassador Hotel, MyStays Maihama, Granvia Hiroshima, Granvia Osaka, Granvia Kyoto and the Hotel Sunny. * I kind of want to add an extra night at Disney, just so we don't have to force onto a commuter train with luggage early in the morning! Currently looking at Disney Celebration, MyStays Maihama and Oriental Tokyo Bay hotels. We have our pocket wifi all booked, it'll be waiting for us at our hotel when we arrive, as always we've booked ours with Global Advanced Communications . ...

June was a fairly slow month, much like May , as we booked our plasterer back then but he wasn't available until July for such a big job. So, what did we get done in June? Well, not a huge amount to be honest... Electrical: We're actually still waiting on our electrician to get back to us with internal quotes and to give us a quote from his friend that can install our security lights! Because of this delay we've called the plasterer and pushed back the work until September. Fingers crossed we can get the electrical bits done in time! Decluttering: We listed over 50 things on eBay in the first week of June alone. Went through the kitchen cupboards and got rid of some of the stuff we don't need or that went out of date (i'm a cake mix hoarder, can't help it! but our oven doesn't seem to be heating up properly at the minute so it's probably wise to stop buying them for now!). We moved more stuff into the loft that ...

Here it finally is, our Sunday video. Skit videos start going live tomorrow!

Here is our Saturday video! I only lasted until 2pm in that costume, the wig just kept falling off, it was way too heavy on it's own, never mind with the hamu hood pulling it down.

I did intend on posting this on Friday night but I completely forgot to add in the video and publish it! So here it finally is, our Friday video, i'll post the Saturday video tomorrow and the Sunday video on Wednesday but if you can't wait that long they're already uploaded on my YouTube channel. Skit videos start on Thursday so sub so you don't miss them!

A couple of weeks ago I shot a funny little cosplay video ready for Sunnycon. Here is my Umaru-Chan cosplay video. Where did I buy my cosplay? Hood - eBay Shorts - eBay Wig - eBay Long sleeve top - Primark men's section.

Last month my fiancé and I took a day trip over to Lindal-in-Furness to visit the South Lakes Safari Zoo. We've visited the Zoo several times before, my first trip was way back in college - around 9 years ago, back when it was called South Lakes Wild Animal Park and they refused to use the word zoo! The place has changed a lot over the years, and not necessarily for the better. They've had a lot of bad press recently but I hope they'll work out their problems and improve on all of their issues. NGL, I really only go because they have quite a few ring-tailed lemurs and they're the cutest things, there were even several babies out during our trip. They have a cute little red panda too, but it slept the whole day!
