Hello Everyone! This is going up rather late for me but never mind! Here is what I've been up to this week! 

On Monday, I got to decorate my desk! I think I must be the most excited person in the office for christmas. That might have something to do with me being the youngest though! haha! 

This makes me very happy. From now until the 12th January, I am only working 4 full days and 2 half days! For someone who has spent the last 5 years working in retail, this is very strange, but a very welcome change! I'm planning to use this week to do my health law essay, and finish wrapping presents! There are also a few christmas nights out planned for this week!

Thursday saw the first of the snow arrive in Edinburgh! This was taken right outside my work which is right in the City Centre. It is very unusual for snow to lie on the ground in the city centre but it did! And it was blooming freezing!

I have spent a lot of this week eating chocolate! We keep getting tins handed in to work and it is impossible to say no!

This is my all time favourite pizza! Chicken and Mushroom obviously! This was a treat for the X Factor final night on Saturday!

Today I headed into town to try and get a christmas jumper for my uni christmas lunch tomorrow! I was boogie-ing away on the tram to this song! It is my favourite song right now, despite not being christmas-y at all! 

And finally, tonight after doing my food shop, I treated myself to this! Banana ice cream is my favourite so how could I say no?! It was very yummy, in case you were wondering! 

So that is about it for this week! I'm so looking forward to my week off this week! And my christmas lunch with all my Uni pals tomorrow! Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Hello everyone!
Hope you've all had a lovely week!
I've not really been up to much this week except work, work, work! I'm off for 3 days now so hopefully I will find some exciting things to do!

1- Early rises! I've been up super early all week but really struggling to sleep at night! I will be so thankful for a lie in tomorrow morning! 

2- Magpie Rhyme. Does anyone remember that rhyme "one for sorrow, 2 for joy etc." Well on Monday I saw six magpie in my garden! I immediately googled what this would mean for me and apparently six means gold! I didn't find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow but on the same day I got an email confirming my redundancy pay would be paid by the end of the week and also won £5 on a scratch card! 

3- Ice cream sandwich! Took me back to my childhood! 

4&5- It's bath bomb galore in my house just now! The starry one was to help me sleep (which it did) and the flowery one was just to relax after a busy day at work! 

6- Oops I bought another candle! This smells delicious! 

So there we go. My very dull week summed up in a few pictures! What have you all been up to this week? xx

The Sunday Post#1- Valentine's Weekend

Hello Everyone! :)
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend! Welcome to my new feature as well, The Sunday Post!
Now it is not very often I get a weekend off, but this weekend I managed it! Here's what I've been up to on my weekend off!

Friday
Of course, Friday was valentine's day! I was a very lucky girl, indeed! My wonderful partner bought me the 'think pink' lush gift set and a black cherry yankee candle!

This is an amazing gift set! Everything smells soooo good and I can't wait to use them all! Expect many a lush related blog post in the next few weeks! My yankee candle will be a great accompaniment at bath time! 

After receiving these lovely gifts, my partner took me out to a gorgeous french restaurant for dinner! The food was amazing! I wasn't brave enough to try the frog's legs or snails though! 

This was my outfit for dinner. My dress is from New Look and my cardigan is from Primark. I put my hair extensions in for the first time in ages just for a bit of added volume (not that I need it!) P.s excuse the mess on the bed! I changed outfits about 20 times! 

Saturday

It was my cousin and my great auntie's birthday's over the weekend. They both live in Darlington so we don't get to see them often but since they were both celebrating big birthdays we headed down for a little party! It was so lovely to see all my family down south for the first time in years! 

This was the only photo I took from the party! We dressed my cousin up in a bubble wrap suit which everyone wanted to pop! My mum has loads of good photos from the evening so I'll just have to steal hers! Anyway, lots of drinks were consumed and good food had, so overall a great evening! 

Sunday

And finally, on to today! 

This was our view from our hotel room window this morning! What a beautiful morning it was! We headed to my aunt's for breakfast (which was amazing!) and then we headed on our way up the road after saying our goodbye's to everyone. 

So that pretty much sums up my weekend! I've really enjoyed being able to chill and spend time with my family, shame it can't happen more often!

Hope you've all had a great weekend too! What have you all been up to?
