In & Out

In

1 more day of work then I head down to London for She & Him, sightseeing and hopefully lots of eating and drinking! I'm actually going to see Zooey Deschanel in real life! I'm so excited.

New house obviously! Having more space is great. I can now escape from the boyfriend when he's driving me nuts! ;)

We're getting all of our bond back from our previous apartment which means we can get a new washing machine and book our flights to Gibraltar! (If you'd told me 10 years ago that getting a new washing machine would make me happy I wouldn't have believed you).

Raising almost £200 for Cancer Research! Go me!

Out 

Feeling a bit pale and pasty. Time to crack open some fake tan me thinks!

Having lots of extra rooms to clean!

Eating out way too much because we don't have anything in the house. Must stop putting off food shopping!

Having a very long wish list of makeup and clothes that I would like. I blame you beauty bloggers!

And some pretty pictures? Why not! Courtesy of www.weheartit.com as always

May giveaway

My April giveaway was a success and lots of you lovely ladies entered so I'm back again with a May giveaway. The lovely Race for Life people sent me a white vest top designed by Mel Slade which is one of their new celeb designed tops that you can buy from the online store. As I type, Mel's vest has sold out so this is a great chance to get your hands on one!

The vest is 100% cotton and has a lovely floral pattern down one side. It's very girly and feminine. The top I have got to giveaway is a size Small.

As always the rules are simple:

- You must be a follower of my blog

- You must be involved or have been involved in a Race for Life event. This could mean you have taken part in a race before or like me you're taking part this year for the first time. It could mean you're jogging with a friend to help them train. It could mean you have sponsored someone taking part in Race for Life, or even as simple as you're going to watch and support someone taking part.

Simply leave a comment before midnight on the last day of May telling me how you're involved in Race for Life or how you have been involved in the past.

Good luck! xx

Monday summary

This Bank Holiday weekend has been so so hectic. This afternoon involves drinking tea, catching up with the blogging world and letting my Mum do my washing - thanks Mum!

We finally moved! The whole shebang started on Saturday morning when my Mum and Dad came over with a big van and helped us to move all of our furniture and belongings into our new house. Several hours and lots of bruises and sore muscles later, Andrew and I began unpacking and making our new place look pretty. We were exhausted but thought instead of making the process last several days we would get as much done on Saturday evening as possible, with just one little break to watch Over the Rainbow.

Yesterday I had chance to see my Sister before she flew back to Gibralter (where she lives at the moment, due to her boyfriend's job relocating) and then we got back into the swing of unpacking a little more.

This morning we were up at 6.30am to go back to our old place to clean and paint ready to hand it back to the landlady. It is fair to say right now I am exhausted!

How has your weekend been? Probably much more relaxed than mine!

My 5 good things:

1) Obviously moving house is top of the list. Not only do we have much more room (an extra 2 bathrooms and an extra bedroom to be precise!) but we also have our own little garden now.

2) This week is a 3 day week at work for me because I have Friday booked off to go to London to see She & Him. The thought of seeing Zooey Deschanel in the flesh is a very exciting one!

3) The bf and I have got our 2 weeks off in June/July sorted. We are going to have a little holiday in the UK and take the dogs with us, then we're having a week in Gibralter/Spain to visit my Sister and see some sights! Oh and a little sunbathing for good measure. This year is a fairly quiet year for holidays as we're saving to go to Florida again next year! Hooray.

4) I kinda felt a little bit like the blogging world was getting me down last week; it felt like a real effort to post things and to get involved and the negativity on Twitter kept rearing its ugly head. But, with the help of a Monday summary (cheaper than therapy!) I feel like I have found my bloggy identity again and all is well with the world.

5) My hair is getting so damn long! Oh and I'm growing my fringe out with the help of twisty french plait type things at the front. Hooray for getting past the awkward stage!

O.P.I - Tropical Punch

I picked this nail polish up from Phoebe's blog sale because I can't resist a bright pink and also I'd like to have more O.P.I shades in my collection.

I love this! First of all I love that I only need one coat - I'm a lazy nail painter and I don't like to sit around forever waiting for coats to dry. I love the bright punchy (geddit?) colour and it will be perfect for the Summer when I'm sipping margharitas (or more realistically, sat at work).
