Catch up.

Last Tuesday I started to feel a bit poorly. I felt sick and off my food (I couldn't even face lunch which is not like me at all!) On Tuesday evening swollen tonsils kicked in and I thought "here we go", tonsillitis is heading my way. Luckily it wasn't tonsillitis but it was a horrible sore throat and cold which has only just started to subside today. I usually manage to avoid colds. I haven't had a proper one since April 2010 which is up there with my finest achievements. Even when enclosed in a room full of people with the flu last Christmas I escaped scott free and feeling fine.

I am completely run down at the moment. I'm stressed and cranky and I think my immune system is suffering.

A few days of comfort eating and downing cups of tea (and at one point just eating a whole bag of marshmallow just coz I fancied some) has taken its toll on my waistline. Alas! Tomorrow is a new day and the start of a new week (no Bank Holiday hangover and emergency McDonalds to deal with like last week!) so I am going to start like I mean to go on. Stress reduction, healthy eating and daily exercise is back on and I'm ready to take whatever the week has to throw at me.

In other news, this weekend has been lovely. We went to Meadowhall on Saturday morning and, although I didn't see any clothes worth buying, I did get the most amazing pair of pyjama bottoms from Primark which are the comfiest things I've ever worn. I have worn them non stop since purchasing. If only I could wear them to work!

I packaged up some orders which is now becoming a Saturday morning ritual, ready to head to the Post Office before it closes. I'm loving the red cotton at the moment, especially with the evil eye beads and the silver crosses.

Pugs are cute but not so much first thing on a morning when they require gunge removal from their eyes. Yuck! :) Still cute as a button though.

Today I picked up The Perks of Being a Wallflower, a book I started a few weeks ago but haven't managed to finish. It's a good read, but peace and quiet to read a book is scarce. I must try and finish it this week. (Told you I love my new pjs!)

How has your weekend been? Been struck down with the lurgy like me? Hope not!

New in & free shipping code - Lily loves Lola bracelets.

I added a few new bracelets to my shop this week which I thought I would share with you. I also have a discount code for free shipping on bracelets when you spend over £7.00 so keep reading for that. It's only valid for today so you must get an order in before midnight tonight!

My bracelets can be tied to suit the size of your wrist and the excess cotton can easily be snipped off. There's nothing worse than a bracelet that is too big and falls off (I have quite small wrists and find it hard to wear most bracelets). Or if you'd like to be able to remove them for the shower, etc, there is enough cotton to tie a bow.

The newest charms are tiny silver crosses, tiny silver stars, silver handbags, and blue evil eye beads.

As always you can choose from red, black or turquoise cotton (and pink will be available very soon).

Just enter PUGSNOTDRUGS in the checkout and then click on 'update total' to receive free shipping on bracelets when you spend over £7.00. Happy shopping!

LEAKY WINDOW

We're getting a lot of rain here in Terrebonne Parish and it's going to get worse tomorrow with high winds and flooding.  I began to gather things in my yard that might fly away and went into the coach to check it out.  Sure enough, my worst fear was confirmed when I saw that half of the sofa was soaked. 

All the bedding and pillows were wet and I couldn't see why until I took a closer look.  The leak was coming in on the left side of the large window in the slide. 

When looking from the outside it is on the right.  See the red arrow on this photo.

I'm wondering... will the whole window seal have to be replaced???  Or perhaps just recaulked.  I have no idea where to begin to fix this problem.  I guess I will have to take it in to Camping World for repairs.  I sure can't do it myself.  Has anyone got any suggestions?

Road trip part 4 - Boscastle.

For the final afternoon of our road trip we visited Boscastle. You know the drill - if you'd like to see more photos go and have a browse over on my Facebook page. You're more than welcome to have a nosy. And if you'd like to catch up on parts 1, 2 and 3 click here, here and here.

Boscastle was lovely. We had a great afternoon here. We had a nosy in some of the shops and then headed up to some rocks where we got an amazing view out out over the water, and saw some lunatics jumping in. Brrr!

How adorable are those houses?! I wanted to move right in.

The views were stunning so we had a sit down for a while and took in the scenery. It was great forgetting about life for a little while and just feeling peaceful and relaxed. Jonathan did his good deed for the day and helped an old lady in a spot of bother on some rocks, which made me love him a little bit more.

I reeeally wanted to go in The Museum of Witchcraft but Jonathan didn't seem so keen. The artifacts on display in the window were certainly interesting to say the least! If you've been you must tell me if it's any good.

Boscastle is just a lovely place, well worth a visit. One piece of advice though; make sure you've got a map to back up your sat nav as you can't get signal for love nor money!

Wedding.

I met up with my Mum and Sister for tea a couple of weeks ago and received the official invite to my Sister's wedding. If you missed this post, you won't know that my Sister got engaged last year and has been planning a Las Vegas wedding ever since.

The wedding will be next April at the Bellagio Hotel. The hunt is now on to find a nice bridesmaid dress and decide on a hair-do! So exciting :)

Have you/anyone you know had a Las Vegas wedding? Can you share any good bridesmaid supply websites?
