I Need Your Help With A Surprise....

Good afternoon everyone,

So this is going to be a bit of an odd post for me but let’s just roll with it! I am really hoping that Chris (my other half) doesn’t read this! Because this will spoil the whole surprise!

Righto, it is his 27^th birthday on the 27^th of August, and we have been together a year on the 31^st of August, so I am trying to do a bit of stealthy sneaky planning for us to go away for a few days, and I am thinking London! I have only ever been to London once, (being the little country bumpkin I am) and that was when I was 6 and I went to Legoland with my Nan and Granddad. I know that we both love a bit of shopping and food and drink so I thought London would be a good choice, as well as the fact that I really want to go to the natural history museum.

This is where you guys come in seen as I have only been once and that was a bloody long time ago, I am looking for some recommendations on things, such as

·         Places to stay

·         Where to eat

·         Where is good to shop

·         Good places to go for a drink

·         Interesting things to do

With places to stay, I am thinking something nice because we have a reasonable budget to spend, as well as not too bad a distance from everything as we will be getting the train down there (seen as there are direct trains from our nearest train station) I am interested to know from people who have been and/or live in London what good things there are!

I would quite like to do the general tourist things as well, I am very open to people’s ideas and opinion on things.

Thank you for your help in advance

Lots of love

So without further ado, here is day 1!

These are my presents from my brother, he has been away for 2 weeks to San Fran & LA with 2 of his friends and these are what he brought back for me, he can by thoughtful sometimes!

SO I hope that you guys are excited about this, and if any of you decide to do something similar let me know!

What I Have Been Loving This Week

Hi Guys, 

So I have decided to go more lifestyle on here and I hope that you are all going to like this change. I have decided to do each week a ‘what I have been loving this week’ post. Which can be anything that is as random as I like, which is the way that my personality is. So without further a do,

Me & Chris, Yes I know its a little cringe worthy but I do love this boy

1-      Tea, I have been loving Earl Grey tea, it is my favourite kind of tea anyway but I have got back into having ‘a brew’ again and I have been loving it.

2-      My Cat, I have had my cat since I was 4 and she is the little love of my life, she is called Missy and she is a Tabby cat, she has taken to sleeping in my bedroom and on the end of my bed which is lovely when you are snuggling up to go to sleep.

3-      Lunch with the Boyfriend, We normally do this every Sunday afternoon at our golf club after he has finished playing. I do not play on a Sunday but Chris plays most Sundays at silly o clock in the morning (Yes that’s an actual time, normally around 7:30) and we sit and have lunch together and chat with our friends and it is lovely.

4-      Friends, This is more towards the fact that my friends are all coming back from Uni at the moment and this makes me very happy.

5-      Darts, yes this is very very weird, but I play in a ladies darts team for my local pub and have played since I was 14 when I used to live in a pub, and we have a game every Tuesday night, I have started playing for a new team and I am enjoying it so much, anyways, I played in a fun knockout with my boyfriend’s friends on Wednesday and I got to the final out of 8, which I was very happy about.

6-      Music, I have really got back into having my ipod with me and listening to music a lot again, I have been getting some new music together for on my ipod and in my car which I love.

7-      Driving in the sun, kind of self-explanatory, but the last 2 weekends where I live have been nice and sunny and I love driving with my windows down singing to cheesy music :)  yes I know I'm sad!

So anyway guys this is what I have been loving this week, I hope you have enjoyed this post and I will speak to you again in a few days :)

What have you been loving recently?

Lots of Love

Happy 2013!

Well helloo there! Long-time no see! I do apologise for being away for like 2 weeks, but Christmas and New Year just got in the way. I had far too much to do and sort out along with going to see family and that kind of thing you do at Christmas time. I am at the minute just sat on my bed in my newly moved around bedroom, I spent the whole day yesterday sorting, cleaning and moving my whole bedroom around and today my arms are killing me! I decided I wanted to sit down and blog, but I don’t really know what about to be honest with you all so this may get a bit rambly. I Apologise.

So I hope that you all had a great Christmas and New Year and spent it with people that really matter. (As well as Santa bringing you what you want) I had a great Christmas, Christmas Eve I spent the day helping my Mum & Auntie prepare everything for the party that we have at our house that night with all my Step-Dad’s side of the family, which I really enjoyed. Then I went and got my Christmas Jumper & Santa Hat on and enjoyed the party with my little cousins and aunties and uncles for a few hours. At about 9:30 me and my boyfriend Chris went out into our town for a drink and to see some of our friends (which didn’t last very long because Chris was a little merry *SHHHHH*) so we came home and had some food and then went to bed. Christmas morning, Chris had to go home to see his family so we got up and had some breakfast and then he went home. My brother and his girlfriend came home at about 11, so then we opened some presents and got ready. Me and my mum then walked around to my Nan’s house to help get the dinner ready which we normally eat about 2:30pm. After lunch we had some presents at my nans and then came back to my house where Chris came back to so we could see each other and give each other our presents. I may be strange but I love Boxing Day, me & Chris went up to our town to meet some of our friends and have some lunch. It was a lovely day. 

New Year was pretty standard TBH! Go out, get drunk, watch the count down, and go home. It was a good night, there only ended up being me, Chris and one of our friends originally but then we met up with some of our other friends later on. It was a nice night and nice to spend it with people that mattered and in our local pub. 

So this post has ended up being what I did over Christmas and New Year, I hope that I didn’t bore you too much! 

What did you all get up to over Christmas & New Year?

Well hello there strangers

First off I have to completely apologise for me not being here for the last month! Moving house is soooo hectic, we have been moved in over a week now but have only just got the internet. I have hated not having the internet and not being able to be on here, however over the next few days there will be a lot of posts going up as I have been typing them up even though I didn’t have the internet. *proud of myself*

So I hope that you are all doing really well and are looking forward to more posts now that I am back on the scene and all that jazz! Please leave any requests or ideas for posts in the comments and I will try my best to do as many as possible.

Lots of Love
