Check In Tuesday #8

Alohaaaaaaa

Can we just appreciate this pic ^^^^ I badly wish I was there right now. I have missed my little check in with you guys I hope you are all well. So in case you have missed any of my previous Check Ins this is my weekly post where I just pretty much ramble about things that have been happening in my life

• So I had a little date night few Fridays ago with the bf Gordee and we went to see Need for Speed. Now I didn't think I was going to like it at all, I'm not a fan of car films but I think it having Arron Paul also known as Jesse from Breaking Bad made me actually love it and I'm not gonna lie I now have a bit of a crush on him now.
• I have gotten older and turned 25!!
• Gordee and I moved house and we are all settled in, its starting to feel like home. Winston our black cat is also getting settled in too. We are like a happy little family.
• I'm getting stuck in to my Harry Potter books, so much things in the books that's not in the films although the films are still awesome.
• Gordee and I have started to watch The Walking Dead and OMG! I am very scared by zombies but I am managing to watch it. At the scary parts I just hide under my panda blanket.
• I am due an upgrade for my phone I currently have the iPhone4 but its time to trade her up for something new, I am loving the look of the iPhone 5s and the Camera has much better quality photos. We shall see what I decide.
• I have had 10 days off work with moving house and getting all settled in I also met friends, had a driving lesson, got a facial and just enjoyed some time off. Now I'm back at work and feels so strange, I will get back into a routine soon enough.
• I been trying out a few new make up bits so expect reviews on them in the next few weeks ;)
• Also I'm going on a little trip with some friends and Gordee at the weekend and I'm very excited, I will be taking photos and I do plan on blogging about it so I'm not going to say much about it just 2 words "cute animals"

That's really all from me today my lovelies, I haven't been up to that much but still wanted to put up a little check in seen as how I didn't when we were moving. I hope you enjoyed it none the less and I look forward to next weeks one, hopefully it will be tad more exciting.

Till next time

Im Back!!

Hi Guys

That's right I am back and my gosh have I missed you beautiful bunch!! So on my regular Check In Tuesdays I mentioned how the boyfriend and I had been looking for somewhere new to live as our flat was freeeezing (even with the heating on). We found a lovely house available to rent and over the weekend we moved in. I did put up on my twitter account that I wasn't going to blog until I had moved home and was getting all settled in. Yesterday our internet went live woooo so that's us up and running again. Its so good being able to get back into the blog as I have missed it. I have missed blogging, reading blogs and watching youtubers. I have a lot of catching up to do, luckily I have this week off work so I have plenty of time to catch up.

Winston our cat is starting to feel more at home and settled as the days have gone on. He loves running up and down the stairs and carries his little teddy into rooms that we are in. Having no internet the past few days has actually been really good, I have had a good few pamper days as I had been pretty lazy with my skin routine what with the big move coming up. So I have had face masks, hair masks, scrubbed the skin and painted my nails. Poor nails took a right bashing unpacking and cleaning they were looking so bad, they are looking a lot more healthier now with a splash of colour on them.

I don't know if you remember but in the new year I set myself some new goals and one was reading more, but what I wanted to read in particular was the Harry Potter books. Well for part of my birthday Gordee bought me the first 3 books and said once I finish these he will get me the others. So I have already finished the first book and I'm loving them. I only ever read the first and second one and that was back in school when they first came out which was a very long time ago now so I cant really remember much about them. I'm now onto the second one The Chamber of Secrets. Im trying not to read them too quickly cause I feel I wont take it all in as much if I speed read. I just read the first one pretty quick due to lack of internet.

This post is just a little check in with you guys and see how you all are and if I have missed anything exciting going on. I also took a few snaps of the new home I thought I would show you guys.

Here I put my candles in a bird cage its so pretty lit up at night

Check In Tuesday #7

Hiya beautiful people

It is that time again for another little Check In with you loverly lot :)

 

• From last week I am all healthy again, I defeated the bug that had me bed ridden and now I am back to my bouncing happy self.
• Gordee and I have completed Season 1 and 2 of Game of Thrones I am now searching on Amazon for Season 3 to keep in my little basket till pay day. We love it that much we are willing to buy it!!
• I have about a week and a half to go and I will then be living in my new home, I am super super excited but I am also a little sad I will be leaving this flat. It was my first home by myself being all independent for over 2 years but I am looking forward to having a house this time with so much more storage and things that excite me like a garden.
• On the note of moving I have Officially started to pack!!! The cat Winston hasn't been very helpful by hiding and running round playing in the boxes :/
• Totally failing on the book front just now I'm not feeling it this week I look at it and I'm just like meh!!! Maybe I need a different book to read and leave that one for another time.
• One thing I most certainly need to do is my driving theory, I had a lesson today and my instructor asked when I booked my theory test....yeah I haven't! I suck so bad at numbers and there's a bit you need to learn about stopping distance and I cant seem to get it stuck in my head!!! So that in mind I am now going to make sure I do a bit of Theory every night and go over it again and again so its stuck into my head!!!
• I reached over a 100 peeps over on Bloglovin the past few days!! How awesome is that? Hello new peeeeeeps I'm so excited you have joined me over here to read my ramblings haha hope your not too disappointed. Hello to you lovely lot who have been there from the start too. Love you all!!
• And finally the image I have used for this Check In is a cake!!! That's cause this Saturday the 22nd of March I will be turning 25 years old!!! Feels like just the other day I celebrated my 21st, my plans are lunch with my girlies (hello ladies if your reading) and then I'm going to my mum and stepdads with Gordee to have dinner with them and all my step sisters (there's 3)  one and her husband, the other 2 and their boyfriends and one has a little girl, my beautiful niece!! Sorry if that was confusing ha!!   

 

I hope you are all having an awesome week so far, leave me a comment with anything exciting you been up too!!

Check In Tuesday #6

Hey Guys

How are you all? Hope everyone's good and feeling pretty happy and positive. Spring is well on its way and that has defiantly cheered me up. Its that day again where I ramble on about some things I am loving or disliking at the moment, cant believe this is my 6th Check In Tuesday already! I have no idea where the weeks are going!!

 

 

• So the end of last week I became rather poorly and caught the dreaded flu!! I had quite a few days in my bed and then progressively moved to the sofa which means I haven't done that much.
• Being poorly ment I managed to get a few episodes of Vampire Diaries Season 5 and OMG its sooooo good.
• I also have been reading my book and every evening I make sure I read a bit of it even if it is just a few pages its better than it just sitting collecting dust which was what it done throughout February (I blame VD on Netlix)
• Looks like Gordee and I have a new home guys!!! YAY!!! moving at the end of march wooooo!!
• Also we started watching Game of Thrones, I bought Gordee it as part of his Christmas both seasons 1 and 2 so we started watching that. It needs my full concentration that show cause so much is going on.
• At my job we get the most loveliest customers who at Christmas time gave us tins of sweeties and biscuits, we have a customer who bakes cakes for us and last week I had one that brought in some cardboard boxes she had for me to start with my packing its people that them that make me love my job and know that if your nice to someone they can be nice back :)
• I have been going on the vibration plates at my work they aim to help you tighten and tone, I'm giving them a go as I am rather curious to see what sort of affect it has done to my body at the end of the month.
• At the weekend I hit 900 followers on Instagram this might not seem a lot to some of you but it certainly cheered my poorlyself up, if any of you would also like to follow and you don't already just click here, I post regularly.
• Could Spring finally be on its way? The sun has come out to play quite a few times now and its not nearly so cold ,here's hoping it is as I am missing the lighter nights for walking.

 

That's all from me guys hope you enjoyed this check in with you all, sorry if its not that exciting hopefully my next one will be (blame the flu). Leave a comment if you like, let me know what you have been up too, I love reading them and I reply to all of them.
