Aloha! Don't you just love Someecards? There's always one that sums up exactly how you are feeling! Anyway, as usual here's my weekly post about what I've been up to this week!

1 - Work. You may know that I work in tax and our busiest time of year is coming up with the tax returns due by 31st January. I've got a week off coming up in 2 weeks time, so I'm trying to get as much done as possible just now, so I don't come back to an overflowing in tray! Of course, that means I have no time for anything fun right now. Sad times!

2 - Wedding planning. I wrote my first post on here this week about planning our wedding! We are still on the venue hunt. It was going okay until others started sticking their noses in and telling me what I can/can't do. So frustrating. On Friday I was so wound up by it all that I was genuinely contemplating booking 2 tickets to Mexico and getting married out there with no one present to tell me what to do! I'm sure it will all fall into place eventually...

3 - Dreaming. I am in desperate need of a holiday! I know, I've got a cheek but when we were students, we were off visiting new places about 3 or 4 times a year. Now it seems like we have no time to do anything. In saying that, we are going to Ireland in a few weeks. Mikey has lots of family there which we are going to visit, but for me it will be all new as I've never been before. Hello Guinness factory!

So that's about it for this week! Hope you all have a great week ahead, whatever you are up to!

A little slice of December

This post is a little later than usual, but here is my roundup of December!

1- The start of the month saw lots of Uni deadlines! This meant I spent the majority of my time in the library! I was so happy when the Christmas Break came around. Unfortunately it is now over, and it's time to get back to it for my last semester ever! 

2- After all my deadlines, I went out to celebrate with a group of my close uni friends! It was a great night! 

3- Before I knew it, it was Christmas day! I was so lucky to receive lots of lovely gifts! You can find my post on what I got for Christmas HERE

4- Of course, the Christmas break meant lots of lazy days spent snuggled up with Smudge! Here he is hogging the covers! 

So that was December. I would say it is my favourite month, once the uni deadlines are out the way! It was such a quick month and before I knew it, we were into 2015! 

What did you get up to in December?

TheSundayPost

Hello Everyone! After a week or so off, I am back with a SundayPost! This week has been a good 'un! 

This week I had a week off work for our trip to Amsterdam! I booked it way back in June as a birthday present for my other half! I won't go into too much detail about the trip as I plan on writing a full post about it and the places we visited! 

This was the first night. We arrived rather late (thanks easyjet) so we grabbed some chips and mayo! These are famous in Holland and they are delicious! 

We also visited a little cocktail bar called Tails & Spirits. I'd go as far as saying it was the best cocktail bar I've visited!

Our final night! There was a light festival on whilst we were there so there were lots of pretty lights to be seen! 

We came home with lots of cheese! These are pesto cheese, old dutch gouda and smoked cheese. Very tasty!

This weekend was the final weekend before the diet starts! We decided to treat ourselves to a very lazy weekend and lots of good food! It was great! 

Now it's back to work tomorrow (not good after 12 days off), and the diet begins! I've got my homemade soup ready to go in the morning! 

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

This Has Been 2014

I thought it would be nice to do a little round-up of everything that has happened in 2014 today, since it is New Year's Eve (or Hogmanay if you are Scottish like me!)

January - This month saw us take the most amazing trip of our lives! It has been a dream of mine to visit New York after my 21st birthday and we finally got to do it! It was simply out of this world! And the shopping was incredible. So good in fact, I had to buy a third suitcase to get all my shopping back! 

May - This month saw us take our first of 2 trips to Portugal! I've been visiting the same part of Portugal since I was 13 and I just love it! It is somewhere I love to visit time and time again! Whilst we were in Portugal, I got the news I was being offered a new job working in the courts!

July - In July I turned 22 and as a present to myself, I bought a new car! The car I chose was the Vauxhall Adam Jam in Red! You can see me in the showroom one above. Mine looks exactly the same as this one! It has been a great wee car so far!  

August - In August I decided to leave my job in Sainsbury's after being offered a contract in the courts until May 2015. 

September - The summer was very busy with working two jobs so I didn't have much time to do anything. At the start of September we travelled up to the Isle of Skye for a friends wedding! 2 weeks later, we took our second trip to Portugal, this time with my parents and gran! We had a wonderful time once again! 

October - This month saw Mikey and I celebrate our 3rd anniversary! We visited Knockderry Country House Hotel to celebrate where we ate excellent food and drank amazing wine all night! 

November to December - These last few months have been extremely busy with Uni work and dissertations! I've really enjoyed the winter break (a bit too much) and soon it will be time to head back to Uni for my final term! But before then it is time to celebrate the new year and then have a mini break in Amsterdam. Starting the year as we mean to go on haha!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my lovely readers for taking the time to read my posts and for all your comments this year! I hope you will all continue to read my long rambling posts in 2015!

Happy New Year to you all when it comes and All the Best for 2015!

A little slice of November

It seems like just yesterday I was writing my October roundup post! But here we are at the 1st of December! So here is my round up of this month! 

1 & 2 - November saw me making a little trip north, to Aberdeen to see my best friend! We had a lovely weekend catching up and doing the things we love. I also got to meet her lovely fella! 

3- I also got most of my Christmas shopping done! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work though! 

4- I got my grades back for the 2 assignments I completed in October! Both were very good marks so I treated myself to my favourite chocolate to celebrate!

5- Coffee was very much needed in November to get me through those dark winter mornings and coursework! This was my first starbucks red cup! 

6- The month wouldn't be complete without a picture of Smudge! 

1- My dissertation proposal was due in near the end of the month! It resulted in a very late night, and me being 2 hours late for work then next morning. Oops

2- I made my first trip to Primark in quite a few months. These cosy slippers were my favourite purchase! You can find my Primark Haul Here 

3- I also made a little trip to IKEA where I bought more candles! 

4- And finally, here is Edinburgh all lit up for Christmas. I've already been to the winter wonderland twice and I'm sure there will be many more visits to come! 

So that was November! I'm sure it will be time to write the next one before I know it! But for now it's time to get excited for Christmas!!
