  • Sunday 05/05/19

Today I spent the day doing the washing.  I managed to get a load of white clothes done ready for the summer as well as my usual clothes washing.  I worked on some graphics for my blog using Canva and worked on some upcoming blog posts too.  In the evening my friend came round and we watched the first episode of The Blue Planet on Netflix and Pacific Rim (amazing film!!!).  I also managed to close all the rings on my Apple Watch Activity wooo!!!!

  • Monday 06/05/19

Today is a Bank Holiday, commonly known as Early Spring Bank Holiday though I like to see it as a free day off from work!  I woke early and spent some time just lazing in bed snuggling with Roxy before getting up and making coffee.  I worked on some things for the blog then one of my friends called in so we could finish off filling in forms for his van.  I then spent the rest of the day reading blogs, my book and my Blogosphere magazine.  I had planned on going out into the garden and doing some more digging but it felt a bit too cold to be outside for long.

  • Tuesday 07/05/19

I worked today but finished early as I had some flexi-time built up which meant I could leave at 4pm instead of 5pm!  I had to go and pick up my meds from the chemist, they keep my prescription there and order my repeats from the doctor for me which is really handy.  Once I had collected my meds I headed home and got changed.  The weather has been really nice today so I headed out into the garden to plant out my hydrangea and do some more digging.  I had an early night as I was feeling pretty tired after all that fresh air!

  • Wednesday 08/05/19

Today I was supposed to be going to the cinema with my neighbour to watch Avengers Endgame but we couldn’t book seats as there were none left so we have decided to try again next week.  I’ve not been feeling too good today, a bit dizzy and light headed so not going to the cinema was probably a good thing.  I came home from work and literally crawled into bed and stayed there snuggled up with Roxy and slept.

  • Thursday 09/05/19

Another day in work!  It has been really quiet in work this week as we have finished payment for the month and are just working on finishing up payment.  We can’t start working on the next payment until all the figures are checked and everything is finalised.  My friend came over after work and we watched F.R.E.D.I on Netflix, its a film about a robot!  I quite enjoyed it!  After my friend had gone home I sat and watched an episode of Gossip Girl then Roxy and I decided it was bedtime!

  • Friday 10/05/19

I quite like Fridays at work because it is dress down day and I can wear jeans and comfy clothes!  I don’t really have to think much about what I am going to wear and just throw on jeans, a t-shirt and hoodie and I’m pretty much ready for my day!  I also like that it is really quiet in the office as there are not many people in.  My day seemed to go fairly quickly as I was working on something I don’t normally do so learned a lot today!  I then came home and decided that it was a nice evening to spend time in the garden.  I have decided to extend the veg patch and am currently working my way along and getting rid of grass, weeds and brambles before turning the soil.  I was in bed by 11:45pm!

  • Saturday 11/05/19

Today I woke up around 8:30am, came downstairs and made a coffee before letting Roxy out to investigate the garden.  I still wasn’t feeling too good from Wednesday, a bit dizzy and light headed and had a bit of a headache so Roxy and I went back to bed with my book and coffee.  We fell back asleep and woke around 3:30pm.  We got up, I had a coffee and have been sat reading blogs and catching up with some things that I have needed to do on my blog!

What has your week been like?  Let me know what you have been up to in the comments!!!

Weekly Roundup 28/04/19 – 04/05/19

Weekly Roundup(1)

I am going to be adding a “Weekly Roundup” post to my blog which will go live on a Sunday.  I have been wanting to do something like this for a while now as I always do things that I’d like to share but don’t really warrant a full blog post so, what better way to share than with a weekly roundup post?  These posts will share things that I do in the week from a Sunday to Saturday and I’m hoping to share with you the little things I do on a day to day basis!  I hope you will enjoy this new addition to the blog!

Weekly Round Up 28/04/19 – 04/05/19

  • Sunday 28th April

I had a decorating day and spent the day cleaning my bedroom and painting it purple!  You can see more from my painting day here which I blogged about as part of the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

  • Monday 29th April

I worked in the day then came home and watched Pirates of the Caribbean – Salazar’s Revenge on Netflix with my friend.  It was a lovely evening after a long day in work.  I even managed to have an earlyish night!

  • Tuesday 30th April

Worked again today and I learned how to process some different types of payment which was good.  I left work early (around 4.45pm) and came home.  I worked on some bits for my blog – blog posts and a few ideas.

  • Wednesday 1st May

I have been thinking about painting the coving in my bedroom an antique gold colour…it has been painted purple at the moment as I painted it when I decorated, but think it would look so much better gold.  I worked and then came home and cooked a Quorn fillet thing which had tomatoes, peppers and mushrooms in it.  My friend came round and we had it for tea with pasta!  It was really tasty!  We started watching the Blue Planet on Netflix but didn’t get around to finishing watching it so have saved it for next time.

  • Thursday 2nd May

Woke up feeling super tired but managed to get to work on time (which was a miracle as I’d only woken up 45 mins before I had to be there…)  My day went fairly quickly and I managed to get more done than I had anticipated.  I came home and went to bed with Roxy for a little lie down and slept until 7:30pm.  I got up and felt really groggy so Roxy and I chilled and watched Gossip Girl on Netflix and read a few blog posts before going back to sleep!

  • Friday 3rd May

I had today off on annual leave and helped my friend to fill in some forms about importing a van to the UK.  I thought we would only need one form but it turns out we need a few other forms to be filled in as well.  It’s a lot more complicated than I was hoping.  I went out for lunch – Subway and had some food, then came home and filled in some more info on the forms before looking into what else was needed.  I worked on a few ideas I have for the blog and some graphic work as well.  I also hoovered the house and tidied a few things up as Mum and Dad are visiting (hopefully) tomorrow!  I saw my neighbour, she called round with some recipe books that I let her borrow and we have made plans to go to the cinema next week to see Avengers Endgame which we are both really excited to see after we went to see Captain Marvel last month!

  • Saturday 4th May

I woke up early on Saturday, worked on my blog for much of the morning before cleaning the house.  I ran the hoover around, cleaned the bathroom and did some washing.  I then had a shower.  Mum and Dad came up in the afternoon, Dad had bought a metal detector and I said he could use it in my garden.  Dad and I had a fun hour or so digging up things (mostly rusty old nails!) while Mum pruned back the dead parts of my hydrangea and gooseberry bush ready for planting,  After we had been in the garden for a bit we decided it was getting a bit cold so we all came back indoors.  I then helped Mum and Dad to hang 2 mirrors for me – one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom.  After they had gone I spent the afternoon having a full clean of my bedroom and re-arranging things.  I worked on my blog for a bit longer before deciding to have an early night.

Happy Birthday To Meeeee!!!!!

Yesterday I turned 30 something…I never thought I’d see the day that I forget what age I am and always assumed that it was an old person thing, but I guess once you reach a certain age (over 30 in my case) it stops being something you define by a number, instead you are grateful that you are still here and experiencing life.  Age begins to not define you anymore, and fades into insignificance, instead we are measured on our ability and skills to do things, where we are in life and what we have achieved.  And I think I’ve achieved a lot in my life right up to this point but those achievements can be saved for another post.  Today I want to share with you my actual Birthday and what I got up to!

I woke up later than normal and had snuggles in bed with my dog Roxy, then I got up and had a shower, coffee and breakfast.  I received cards in the post from my brother Ben, his wife and my niece and nephew along with some really lovely drawings that they had done especially for me!  I phoned Ben and had a really lovely chat with him and spoke about my arrangements to go up there over the weekend, I can’t wait to go and visit them!!!!

My friend, Sam, came round at around 1:30pm to take me out to lunch.  He came baring gifts for me including a new candle and candle holder, a drawer unit for my bathroom, sweets, a cake and some other gifts, I felt really spoiled.

We headed to a local pub for lunch where we both had a main course and dessert, I was also treated to a bottle of wine at lunch which was a really nice treat!  After lunch we popped to Asda and bought a cake to share with my family then headed up to my parents house and spent a bit of time with them.  Mum and Dad bought me some car parts so I could get my car fixed – it had broken down the week before so their present was really useful to me!  Dad said he would fix it for me when he was able to!  I got to see my other brother Richard while we were at Mum and Dads house, he called in on his way back from work to wish me a Happy Birthday!

Sam and I came back here after seeing my Mum and Dad and we sat and chatted and watched a bit of tv before Sam left to travel back to his house (around 11:45pm) and I headed off to bed!

I had a really lovely day and am blessed to have friends and family around me that I could share my day with!
