I FINISHED UNI!

Today marks the day that I finish university forever! I can't believe how quickly my time at university has gone. It seems like 5-minutes ago that I moved to Lincoln as a fresher.  I am kind of glad it's over though as I have lived in the library for the past three weeks and I … Continue reading I FINISHED UNI!

Life Update

For those that don’t know, Netflix is an online streaming service where you can watch hundreds of television shows and films.

University Update

February 13, 2017February 13, 2017 ~ Ellie Plummer ~ 4 Comments

I am less than three months away from finishing my degree and that absolutely terrifies me.

Sherlock – The Final Problem

January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 ~ Ellie Plummer ~ 8 Comments

This review contains major spoilers I think we all need to take a minute to breathe because The Final Problem was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster and we are all a mess. The Lying Detective left us all worried as John Watson (Martin Freeman) was shot by Eurus – the third Holmes sibling that … Continue reading Sherlock – The Final Problem

Mary strictly instructed Sherlock to save John Watson yet what we see in The Lying Detective is quite the opposite.
