I ❤ Sundays #3

Whilst you read this I'll be in London with Allan taking in the sights and no doubt doing a bit of cheeky shopping! Way back at Christmas I got Allan a meal at Marco Pieere Whites Steakhouse but we've not yet found the time to book it with all of Allan's uni work! We finally managed to get a free weekend and booked it in for this evening, along with a stay at Qubic! It looks like a really funky hotel, so its safe to say we are both looking forward to a little break! 

Other than that this week has been pretty uneventful, apart from a few late nights at work *sadface* but a three day weekend will make it all worth it! In the evenings I've been burning my new wax tarts like they are going out of fashion! They really pick me up after a long day, you can see my Yankee Candle haul here.

Next week promises to be a lot more exciting as I have a few dinners booked in as well as a wedding reception on Friday evening which will really lovely. Keep a look out for a post on our little trip to London and also a challenge that includes my two favourite things, make-up and shopping!   

Dont forget to come say hi on Instagram! 

I ❤ Sundays #2

Tea is always the answer - New book - Friday - Left over pizza - I won!
- Saturday breakfast - Costa & Bloglovin session - Bills is coming to my town! - Made it to the gym

This week it feels like all I have done it eat! Although you probably cant tell that from my pictures, I'm pretty crappy at taking food pics, I'm far too greedy and get stuck in before I even cast a thought to getting a snap! On Tuesday I went out for dinner with my mum, sister and nan to celebrate my mum bagging herself a new job! I know she has been very apprehensive trying to find a new job after being in her current one for 14 years so I'm so proud! On Thursday Allan treated my to a trip to Zizzi's after he managed to get a tax rebate - why doesn't that happen to me! I got a bit dough happy, we had garlic bread and I opted for massive pizza which of course I couldn't manage so took the rest home for lunch on Friday. 

At the end of the week we had our quarterly awards at work, as I've mentioned before our awards are work are a pretty big deal. We all attend the local golf club and there's an award ceremony, I wasn't expecting it at all, but I won an award! I was very shocked as this quarter (well this year really) has been testing me a lot, but it does make me feel that the blood sweat and tears are all worth it. The prize is Luxury Power Boat Day or you can opt for vouchers. I think I'm going to take the vouchers so I can stock up on holiday clothes ready for our holiday at the end of August. 

As its was my dads birthday on Friday we went out again to Bella Italia which was really nice, I love spending time with my family and Allan, it makes me smile as they get on so well. Although me and my sister was getting quite bored with all the football talk - thank god that's over after tonight! 

If you read last weeks first I ❤ Sundays post you will know that I made it my aim to make it to the gym. Well after lots of different excuses stopping me going during the week I finally donned my trainers and headed to the gym this morning! It was so hot that I don't think I've ever sweat that much, but damn it felt good! Leaving the gym I stuck on the radio and blared Kisstory singing along to Destiny's Child, I definitely felt better after that work out! Maybe next week I'll be able to make a few more trips, as I love the after gym feeling - its just finding the motivation to go in the first place! 

Sorry about the ramble guys, I just love nattering away - I'm kind of a chatter box and it always translates into my posts, which I say is a good thing :) 

What have you been up to this week?

I ❤ Sundays #1

IMATS goodies - Relaxing in the bath - Late night bun & cuppa -
Getting into holiday mode - Small things - Disney makes everyone better

I've yet to do a weekly update post which is kinda strange as I love reading what people have got up during the week, what they have been loving and having a peek at their pictures. These Sunday posts of mine will most likely vary week to week, but they will have the same idea running throughout. 

This week I have mostly being getting over the flu. After an amazing day at IMATs last Saturday I came down with the flu and spend the next few days resting up in bed. My plan for Sunday and Monday evening was to get back into the swing of blogging, take lots of pictures and getting drafting but I couldnt muster up the energy to get out of bed let along pick up my camera. I did however manage to watch Anastasia and Sleeping Beauty! I forgot how amazing Disney Films are. I've made it my aim to watch a few more, I just need to get my hands on Sword in the Stone. 

Whilst the rest of the week was pretty mundane a trip to Nandos with my sister did put a smile on my face, even if she was distracting me from blog duties! I'm so easily distracted...

Getting away for the weekend is my favourite thing to do and more often than not you'll find me hiding away in Brighton. My boyfriend lives down here so coming down is quite a regular occurrence but its always like  a little holiday. This weekend we've spent the weekend relaxing, watching football much to my dismay and also a trip to Nando's for Allan's friends birthday. Today we have friends over for Sunday lunch so Allan is rolling his sleeves up in the kitchen and making a monster roast! No doubt there will be a picture on Instagram as evidence (you can follow me here). I've even made my first Banoffee pie for desert, my mum makes the best so I've got a lot to live up to! 

Next week I'm hoping to finally make it the gym, find out if I managed it next Sunday! Dont hold your breath though ;) 

I hope you liked reading my first I ❤ Sunday post. Is there anything else you would like to see me write?
