Tuesday?

Jumper - Next / Trousers - Miss Selfridge / Shoes - Primark / Bag - New Look

I find myself sitting here, only just being able to blog at nearly 9 at night, and it's TUESDAY tomorrow. The days are just flying by over here. I had a lovely weekend celebrating the wedding of a close friend, and this is what I wore to the rehearsal dinner (maybe leopard print wasn't invented for the church, but I beg to differ) it was one of those weekends where one minute I am on one end of the glamour Richter scale. New outfit, freshly blown hair, fake lashes-the works, and the next I’m scrubbing the bathroom with a facemask on, in my sweats. I can't complain though, was a great weekend.

I had to grab my chance to take these pictures. The sun actually came out, can you believe. Well enough about weather and all, I'm off for a little trip to the other side of the world, and I leave TODAY. So I had best love you and leave you whilst I soak up the rays, cuddle with kangaroos {I'm pretty sure you can't actually do that} put a shrimp on the barbie and other stereotypical ozzie stuff.
I promise to have an amazing time, and to bring back lots of photos and videos to share.

I leave you with a few guest posts over the weeks, and I hope you all have an amazing few weeks.

I'm struggling big time at the moment for something to wear. I have packed away the majority of my winter clothes, and have been purchasing spring and summer clothes ready for summer and my holiday, so I am stuck in the middle with what's left. To have a bigger wardrobe, right? I don't normally wear heels but went a little out of my comfort zone, but I am not going to lie, it's not for me. I would much rather walk normally in a pair of flats. That's what growing up as a tomboy does to you I suppose.

on a side note - please stop raining now. please.

I have to confess, I struggled big time to get out of bed this morning. One extra day off and you are sent into total holiday mode. I must say three day weekends should become law, it makes total sense. And while we are at it, siestas should be obligatory and everyone should finish early on Fridays. ‘Suzi for Prime Minister I say’

So on a non political note how was everyone’s weekend? It rained non-stop down in these ends, and as we are quickly approaching our holiday, we mostly stayed in and played the ‘let’s not spend any money’ game. {It’s a tough game though}

But only 8 days till my holiday, EIGHT DAYS, 8 days. 8888888.

outtakes

The first thing is, how weird is the word 'outtake?' I can't stop looking at it, and it's freaking me out slightly. So I will move on...after having an afternoon session at looking through all my photos I realised I have SO many I have never posted, that never really made the cut. So I thought why not post them all together...

ANYWAY

I have a story to tell. Not a very exciting one, but one none the least. On Friday I decided to get my cards read. Now this isn’t really my thing, but I have always been intrigued. I have heard interesting stories before, so I went for it. My little mind conjured up an image of a middle aged woman, with crazy hair, wearing clashing colours, and even with a suspicious looking mole on her face. My mind even wandered off into the world of Harry Potter...but surprisingly the lady was pretty normal, apart from the stubble on her chin, so I rolled with it.

I was told to pick 3 cards, and she went about her business of making assumptions, with all I answered no. I was giving nothing away; I didn’t want to give her one scrap of information which she could use. She can’t pull a fast one on me. After some jibberish about paperwork and that someone had to be very careful with their work {which I put down to Si being at home working on his Tax return} to later find out he was having a mad moment and pulled out the computer plug in a day dream losing all off his work so far {I did laugh}I also found out that someone near to me is having slight money problems {isn’t everyone}someone close to me is having life problems {again, isn’t everyone} and that I should go with my gut feeling with a decision. WOW. That was worth paying £15 for. So overall I had a bit of a laugh, but my opinion still stands, I don’t really believe in it all.

 Go on then, prove me wrong, who has had a good reading???

(and please excuse the random pencil on the floor, like really?)

So it was my 24th Birthday yesterday, and I was the lucky girl who was taken out on Friday night by Si, to find he had arranged a lovely surprise meal with friends. {this is what I wore ^) we dined at a cute little tapas restaurant in the lanes in Brighton called Casa Don Carlos. I had always wanted to go, and it is perfect when you have a group of friends together to try out lots of dishes. I managed to eat way to much and food and just a tad to much sangria. It was a perfect night out with my close friends and Si. (so thanks to everyone that came)
So yesterday was my actual birthday and I spent the morning opening pressies, indulging in breakfast in bed and dancing to one direction on the bed. Honestly there is no better way to start your day. We then went into town and spent the afternoon mooching around the lanes, and eating far to much Italian. I also have to mention that for some un beknown reason I ended up finishing my birthday watching The Human centipede. My friends, this is a sick, sadistic and, well plain disgusting film. I do not want to go into it, so if you don't know what it is, I suggest you google it. So other than that my birthday was AWESOME. Here's to the next one...

an idea

Dress - H&M / Jumper - New Look / Shoes - New Look

These photos where actually taken last week when we had unseasonably warm weather, however this week we where back to rain, clouds, and well more rain. It makes me laugh how the minute the sun comes out, we raid our wardrobes for last year’s summer dresses and we get out our whiter than white pins. We Brits are suckers for the sun. Any-hoo, I have been on a major thinking spree lately, about the whole, ‘what’s life about?’ ‘what career path shall I take?’ etc, etc and quite frankly my brain is getting all muddled and confused and keeps shouting out WAY to many options that it’s reducing me to a big-crumbling-mess. Urrrgghhh. So I am going to sit down, clear my mind and compile a 24 for 25 list, to complete before I’m 25 {yer, do you get it?} I have seen this done on many blogs, and I love the idea of having my goals and dreams written out. So, my birthday is only 2 weeks away, so I must get scribbling.  

Has anyone else tried this?

now

This weekend our household consisted of cleaning, chilling, watching box sets, eating {kind of} healthy and watching more box sets. Our weekends will be filled with this until we go to Australia, as we have to get our little saving hats on. Not that I’m complaining, long lie ins, eggs for breakfasts, walks along the seafronts, and more 'The OC' than you can lay your hands on. Journal writing, scrap books and reading is already on the cards and for once I am enjoying quality time with Si, my friends and finally putting the finishing decorative pieces to my lovely home.

Happy New Year

Skirt - New Look / Top/dress - Topshop / Shoes - New Look

How did everyone bring in the new year? After much debate we decided to stay in with a few friends. We danced, sang, chatted and played games until the countdown, then watched in delight at the spectacular London fireworks on the TV. Bringing in the new year with Si and my closest friends in my new home was perfect. Same again next year please.

run, jog, walk

Nearly my second week of marathon training done {phew, only 22 to go} is it wrong to say I am slightly enjoying it? Yer, I suppose it is, especially as the runs are only short at the moment. We are only doing a couple of 3 mile runs in the week, and a longer run {currently 6/7 miles} at the weekend. Poor Si, I keep telling him to keep going, but he has to keep waiting for me wheezing away, and complaining about my painful ears {seriously I can’t be the only person on the planet that suffers from terrible earache from the cold and the wind whilst running? Am I?} I fear that for the next 5 months are lives are going to just be taken up by running, running and more running. Our runs will have to be longer, meaning more time out of our precious Sundays. I still haven’t decided if I am running for a charity yet, as we do also hope to cycle the London to Paris bike ride next year, {oh dear, I definatley just put that in print} so we may save donations for that event.

Who knows?

Anyway bring on the weekend, for more tea and scones, birthday gatherings, baby holding, meals out and, yes more running. Peace out.
