Bank hols

Sunday I literally slobbed for the entire day! I know it seems like a waste and obviously being hungover sucks. But I do quite enjoy a ridiculously lazy day. 

I binge watched the whole of 13 Reasons Why, which is a very sad and deep show about a girl who commits suicide. She leaves 13 tapes for people explaining how they contributed to her death. Horrible right?! So yeah, I watched the whole thing. 

I cried a fair few times and Antony ended up going to Mattys.. I cant understand why! 

I literally got up only to pee and eat more food, it was fabulous. 

Then Monday was a bank holiday and I felt better! I love waking up feeling human again, it's always good. 

Ant and I woke up quite late, which we really needed. And then we cleared up the house.. okay, I wrote that then remembered actually I cleared up the house. Antony has this tactic where as soon as I say lets sort the house out he needs a fag.. or a poop.. AGG!

So once the house was tidy anyway, we had some food and then I got ready. Our friend Emma was having a bbq for her boyfriend's birthday. We headed there, picking up some drinks on the way.

It was really nice! Me and Emma used to be really really close but now we only really see each other at social events. So it's nice when we do! It was an awesome day, sitting around chatting, eating and drinking. We talked a lot about Rupaul and Love Island and so Ant had to 'grin and bear it' as he later told me!

Here’s me and Ant... both loving life... 

That night was a bitch to try and sleep as I was so full of food and it was so hot!! The thought of work the next day as well just.. ugh!

Me and Ant woke up Tuesday feeling so rubbish. Neither had had enough sleep at all.

It was raining and really gloomy.. back to work after a long weekend and no sleep.. really sucked. But we ploughed through! I need to take Ant to work and back now after Friday'sincident.. actually I say that, he drives as I hate his dodgy parking at his work. So yeah, it's quite annoying as I start later and finish earlier than him! So I ended up walking from my work to his in the pouring rain and waiting for him. 

We got home, made lunches and then I got in a nice long bath. Finally. 

We ended up going to Burger King as we have vouchers. So its nice and cheap.. and we just cant seem to be healthy these days! It's doing my head in. 

I want to gym, and eat healthy and get enough sleep but it's not going to plan at all. 

It's now Wednesday morning and I'm determined to eat well and gym after work.. I can do this! 

Crashing the party

Well Friday night was actually a little more eventful than planned! Ant called me to say he had been in a car accident! He told me he was fine.. PHEW.. that someone had gone into the back of him. 

Ant and I can be very different in these kinds of situations, I tend to worry and panic and act like a child! And Antony is like.. oh well.. shit happens. Which is really good as it calms me down and it makes a whole lot more sense that my stupid reaction! 

So anyway, after him sending me lots of pics and telling me he was fine over and over again (he hates being fussed over!) he was actually allowed to drive the car home!

Ants is the black car. 

Clearly, it's not okay to drive anymore but was good he could drive home and not have to wait around to be towed etc. 

So after Ant called his insurance company, we ordered pizza and decided to enjoy our evening still.

Saturday morning, we got up and decided to go for a walk as we were both up early, the sun was shining and we could do with getting a few bits whilst we were out. Oh and we skipped gym so this was easy exercise. 

WELL I say easy exercise, the way there was great! Well apart from Ant is just constantly a mean pie (mp) to me and wont hold my hand and be cute.. until I punch him that it muaha.

We got into Egham and ended up in a pub. It was 5 somewhere or whatever that saying is.. had a drink and then went into Tesco and get a few bits for home. Mainly booze. 

So the way back was so hard!! It was so hot and we had to carry so much.. we were dying when we got home. 

Anyway, we got back, got showered and started getting ready for the day. I ended up giving Ant a lift to Matty's which was stresssssssssful as it was super hot and I was rushing to get back and get ready for RUPAUL EVENT.

Anyway, the girls arrived (Hannah and Abby) we listened to Rupaul, drank and got ready.. sweating! It was literally too hot to function. 

We were pretty drunk before we left as we tend to try and get really drunk before we leave.. stupid idea but great at the time! 

We got an uber and then a train and faffed over the journey for ages! BUT we eventually made it and the queue looked massive! I ended up leaving the queue to go to a corner shop and get a bottle of wine for us to share.. we sooo did not need this at all. Especially as we had to down it as the queue moved faster than expected. 

We got in.. and went to the bar! Can you see where this is going??

We got to a good spot so that we could see and not be to squished.. we waited around for quite a while for the drag queens to come on. We expected Michelle Visage which we were suuuper excited about but instead we just got a video of her at the beginning.. still cool I guess. And then Lady Bunny was the host.. who we didnt know much about other than the queens talking about her in the show.

Anyway they finally came on and it was AMAZING! To see them all in the flesh we were all fangirling big time! Properly screaming as they all walked round the stage. 

They then all took it in turns to perform, which is them lip syncing. The first was someone I dont hugely like.. which is annoying as I remember her the most clearly. 

Next was Kim Chi! She was bloody awesome! Then I don't actually rememeber who was next as we drank lots and just got messy. Shame on us. Really do regret this as I was so looking forward to seeing them all! 

I do remember a few performances and really really enjoying myself! I also (kind of) remember going up to the bar and I must have lent over it or done something stupid because the whole thing fell on me!

 Apparently Hannah and Abby turned round and I was on the floor with the bar, straws and mats all on top of me! (sorry mum! but the bar musnt have been in the ground in my defence?) 

So we ended up leaving anyway, and then stuck in the pouring rain and a massive thunderstorm whilst we waited for a cab! Kinda fun.. kinda not! Then yeah, the journey home was really long as we missed one train, had to wait for another.. then another cab.. etc etc. 

I went straight to bed when we got home! Which sucks cos we should have taken it slowly! We should have enjoyed every second of the show.. then gone back to mine and played Rupaul songs and carried on.. one day we'll learn.. one day.. 

The next morning it turned out Abby had slept downstairs and I don't think was too happy with me and Hannah.. I get the impression it was me and Hannah being really messy and not all of us like I thought!

Frumpy friday

It's Friyay! 

The weather is rubbish though and so I'm not happy about that.. I also feeling bit meh about today. I just don't have a huge amount on at work which I don't like. I'd much rather be busy.

I'm also going to the gym at lunch time with Antony and we're doing arms, which I need to do as I don't do it a lot. But MEH. I like doing squats, legs/glutes stuff and cardio so you feel good afterwards. I just feel like I'm gonna hate it and then be annoyed. 

I'm just being a hormonal to be completely honest! I need to cheer up though as it's Friday and it's a 3 day weekend and I've got some awesome plans lined up!

So the plans today are work, gym, work, get home and chill! I woke up this morning and sorted the housey stuff out before I left so that I could get home and do nothing straight away - great planning ey!

New Rupaul tonight and Rupaul event tomorrow, so excited! I don't know what to wear as I want to glam it up and be glittery OTT drag hunny but it is supposed to be hot and so I don't wanna be boiling and my sequence (whey) top is quite heavy. 

Then Sunday I am bound to be hanging and tired as we'll get back late and Ant will probably come home late as well and it may turn into a drinking games sesh. Unless we've all crashed early as I think we're all starting early.

Monday I'm dragging Ant and Matty to a gym class! Can't wait. And then one of my friend's Emma is having a bbq. Let hope the weather improves or I'm going to sulk!

Okay so update on this - I went to the gym with Antony and just seeing him cheered me up!

The arm session was good actually, we did a few different sets and really got into it.. then realised we had to leave as we needed to get ready to go back to work. Booo!

But yeah, it was good and I went back to work in a happier mood. I'm just feeling sluggish and really bloated. Being a girl really sucks sometimes.. I've no appetite and have hardly eaten yet I need to undo my jeans at my desk. Ugh

I cannot wait to leave and get into floppies, have some wine and chill! 

I’m currently stuck at work at the phones keep ringing and there’s no-one really here to take them so I am just sort of waiting until I think everyone’s sorted... 

Hometime feels so close but so far!

Boring blog

Wednesday was a normal Wednesday to be honest.. Work, gym, home. BOSH there's my day. 

Genuinely can't say anything else happened, it was pretty boring! I got home and Ant went off to the gym so I spent most of it just chilling and then when Ant got back, chilled some more. 

Thursday was the same to be honest! So this post is hella boring. I woke up, went to work and then met Ginette and Alber for lunch (An't mum and her husband) and we chatted about the mancave. 

The plan is to sort the garden out first, which we have started.. we need to give Ant's uncle a call as he is a gardener (well I assume so anyway?) and get him to quote us on getting the path we currently have, dug out. At the moment it's a diagonal path which we don't like as it's just wonky and weird. 

So we want to dig it out and make a straight path, pull out the decking as we want all new decking at the back, again in a straight line as it's a corner thingy at the moment. 

So yeah, that's the plan at the moment! Ginette and Albert are so helpful and know what they're talking about which is great as I haven't a clue! I just wish we were rich and could hire people to do the whole thing for us. 

So tonight my plan is to get home, do some housey stuff, have dinner and head to a circuits class at 8:15.. Hannah still hasn't come with me. This time I don't blame her as she's been hanging all day.. know I'd just want to get home and sleep.

To be honest, I do just want to go home and slob! I am feeling tired today. Yawn.

Almost.. the.. weekend..

Carvery catch up

Tuesday, I woke up and headed to the gym to do a leg session. 

It was fun and I lifted heavy.. I was surprised to not be aching the next day! I love aching and I hate when I wake up fine.. not like Antony who hates it and complains loads about his sore baby muscles haha!

I then headed to work to start the day. Same old really.. nothing to report. 

I met Ant for lunch and we went straight to the river so we could sit and eat our lunch in the sunshine. 

Ant lay down on the grass and I lay my head on top of his back so we could have a top 10/10 chill sesh before going back to work. It was b e a utfiul! Until we had to go back of course.. work that afternoon was fine, again nothing to report! Just life-ing.. 

After work though, I headed into Shepperton to meet Lois and Sarah, two of me besties. We met up at the Goat which is a pub that serves carvery! I bloody love me a carvery. Even though it was a real struggle to eat as it was absolutely boiling in there! We were sweating but it was still yummy!

We are really close friends as a 3 and we all worked together at one point which was so so good as we chatted loads and went out after work etc but then I left and now I hardly see Sarah. Which is really sad because I absolutely love her! We just always plan stuff, then one of us has to move it then the other moves the date and before you know it, it's been 2 months!

Anyway, food was yummy and we sat chatting for ages. Sarah is now seeing someone which is amazing as in the 4/5 years I've known her she's not been this excited about a genuinely nice guy! So I'm super excited for her and really hope it works out. 

Lois and Sarah still work in the nursery which I left about 3 years ago and they always tell me of the drama and antics that they get up to and it's fun to hear as I can imagine it and know of the workings there.. and love the goss of course!

They were in the kitchen and the toaster just randomly set on fire! Lois with the super powers unplugged it and took it outside! She doesn't even remember how she did it, adrenaline must have been pumping through her! My hero!  

What else.. we just talked about old times and the fun we've had camping, at the caravan.. clubbing.. arguing etc! Good times, I do love them. We really need to organise more plans! Lois is you're reading this COME ON! Plan us up woman. 

(Old pic but here’s ya 3!) 

I dropped Lois home and headed home myself, when I got back Ant was there with Matty.

They be chilling and gaming and I sorted lunches out for the next day and went up to chill myself. I sat with my little kitties and watch stuff on my phone.. I couldn't be bothered to turn the tv on as I wanted an early night. I regret that as Ant had more friends come over and kept me up late anyways! I say late.... late for me.

This week is going soooooooooooo slowly. Roll on the weekend please 

Simple Sunday

So the plan WAS to gym, Nando’s and cinema but it definitely ended up lay in the sun drinking cider, Nostrano Lounge and then cinema.

Much better! It as so nice, me Ant and Matty sat in our garden listening to music and topping up the sunburn. 

We then headed into Staines for some grub, we decided on nostrano as we could get something light and sit outside. 

Well we were supposed to get something light but ended up eating loads! It was yummy though, I had chicken and bacon panini with haloumi sticks on the side. Banging. 

Ant had a halloumi burger with extra burger and sweet potato fries and Matty actually had a salad. So one of us stuck to eating light... 

We then went off the to cinema to see Deadpool 2, it was really funny and I love me a bit of Ryan Reynolds, even if he does look like a Rice Krispie. 

We headed home and chill and sleeps. 

Monday was a good day, nice and sunny. Work was fine, met Ant for lunch, we went for a walk and sat down to eat our bagels. 

After work I headed home, sorted some housey stuff out then headed back to Ants work where he was still busy. I gave him his dinner and we went off to the gym! 

Then home to chill before bed as usual really! 

Sunburn Saturday

Starting with Friday night.. it was so bloody nice!

Me and Ant got home from work and straight into our comfies! How amazing does that sound. We had loads of vouchers for burger king as well so we popped out and bought loads of unhealthy food for cheap cheap.

We got back, got a beer and a glass of wine and bosh. On the sofa to chill for the night.

The new episode of Rupaul was sickening!! I frigging LOVE this show so bloody much. Me and the girls are going to a drag event next week in London and I am gagging hunny.

Living. For. It,

Okay I'll stop, I'll stop...

I woke up on Saturday, went off to the gym and did a circuits class. My butt and legs were killlling from my leg session on Friday!

Luckily it was actually lots of cardio and upper body in this circuits class, I was so relieved!

After the class,I struggled round Staines getting even more stuff for the garden, Ann Summers had a massive sale on as well so I got myself some sexy bras and underwear. Yaaas hunny.

It was so hot and Antony kept calling me to pick up more and more stuff so by the time I got in my car to go I had to have a break, I was knackered! So I sat in my car and ate some prawns I'd bought in M&S, sorry it's weird but I don't care. They literally taste amazing.

I got home and mentally prepared myself for this gardening.

I really didn't want to start.. I wanted to sit in a bikini in the garden and get drunk, to be honest!

But we set up the tools and got cracking.. after a sausage sandwich, mm.

We power washed the patio bit, mowed, strimmed, pulled out weeds, you know the usual gardeny stuff. It was so sunny the whole time so it was quite hard!

I am stupidly sunburnt across my back and I was wearing a strappy bikini top...


Looks good right?

So we finally called it a day, which I was super happy about! Cleared up and came in for a shower as we were both a mess!

We got into our comfies and I made us a red thai curry. It was so yummy and so nice to sit at the table and relax. All ready for it again tomorrow..

We finished dinner and watched a film.. it was alright.. I fell asleep as per usual!

I've just woken up, about 8am on Sunday. I could have slept more but I could hear hungry kitties. So I've got up and bloody hell! Not only does my butt still hurt but my back and shoulders also ache now.

Plus I'm sunburnt! I think last night the red wine was making it feel fine, kept saying it didn't even hurt. Well I think I need more wine because it's definitely a bit sore.

I am going to write a shopping list and go to Aldi when it opens as Ant is asleep. He woke up yesterday in the worst mood ever as his arms hurt so much.

Ant and Matty (our bestie) went to the gym on Thurs and did arms.. Ant has been in agony ever since! So I'm gonna let him sleep as much as possible and hope he wakes up happy/less sore.

The plan today is garden, gym, nandos and then cinema. Can't wait!

For the nandos and cinema that is..

Thursday & Friday, caught up!

Thursday, the unnecessary day before Friday.. 

I woke up at 730am to start preparing dinner. I chopped up all the ingredients for a sweet potato cottage pie, mm!

It was so weird to be cooking that early with coffee and not wanted to eat it all? I'm pretty sure I eat 30% of the dinners I make in the evenings, so this was a good way to avoid that! Although I did try a bit of potato but it was just weird. Not a normal breakfast.

So then I plonked it all into the slow cooker and hoped that the plug timer than my director gave me would work. I've never used one of these but when he heard I was going to go home at lunch to prep the food and turn the slow cooker on.. he made a brand new plug timer appear and gave it to me as a present. Result!

Antony set it up to come on at 1pm and then stop at 7pm even though I'd be home before then.. I was a bit excited which is really sad haha!

Work was work.. ermm I can't really think what happened to be honest! Don't think a lot. 

Had a late lunch with Ant where we bought the cats some treaties and some last minute garden tools for the weekend. 

I finished work and headed home, wondering if the plug timer/slow cooker had worked. 

As soon as I walked through the door, I knew it'd worked as it smelt amaaazing! I went straight over to it and it looked so good. I couldn't help but try some of the sweet potato off the top with some of the juices around the side. Yummy.

Hannah was supposed to be coming to the gym with me tonight as she's joined and wants to get back on it! Although she hasn't come with me yet.. at all. I normally do mornings/lunches or straight from work but I wanted to make an effort to go with her so we were going in the evenings. Well supposed to be but she's not coming tonight so I'm gonna go to circuits class at 8 tonight. 

Antony got home and we munched the cottage pie, it was so hot but so good and we just can't be patient so burnt our tongues oops!

We then chilled on the sofa and set an alarm for us to get up and ready for the gym. 

Antony and Matty have had a break from the gym recently and are now getting back on it.. they're doing arms and I can already hear Antony whinging in my ear about his ache.

So gym was good and we went home to shower and chill!

It's now Friday and I got up and went to the gym to do some legs, I love leg sessions but they are hard! But for me, easier than arms and upper body. I showered after the leg session and went for a little shop around staines, I grabbed couple bits from superdrug for my friend Sarah's bday (which was a month and a half ago but we are so awful and sticking to plans!) and headed to work.

Work was really good today, it's always so much better when people are lively and sociable which is usually on a Friday! Everyone at my work is really nice and love a good laugh so it's a fun place to be mostly!

I met Ant at lunch and went to my favourite lunch place ever!! Momos. Best sushi restaurant ever. We go there a lot and I don't think i'll ever get bored of it. The woman there recognises us and calls us both Antony as I've never said my name to her. I just don't offer my name out when people ask when reserving a table, it's just hassle! I get too many variations. 

Anyway, it was delicious! We ate so much food so that I was full breathing all afternoon but so worth it.

Tonight we are having a proper chill night of pjs, sofa and slob! Oh and of course, unhealthy food and wine.. perfect! 

Tuesday bluesday

Tuesday means back to work! Booo

I felt quite down in the morning as me and Ant had had such a nice time together and it always sucks when you have to go back to reality! 

But work was fine and as I mention a lot, the sunshine really helps.

I can't say I did much on this day to be honest. I went to my friend's house to sort his cats and his house out a bit as he's back Wednesday, so I swept and tidied and just made sure it was all okay. 

I haven't had much hassle feeding them but it will be nice to not have to! They're sweet though, even if one did run out the door!!

Anyway, work was fine, normal.. 

I left work at 5 and went to a market research about cheese! It's such easy money, I spent 2 hours talking about something I love, got to try new cheeses and then got £75! Beautiful. 

I headed home, made mine and Ants lunches for the next day, had my dinner, showered and went to bed. How bloody exciting! 

Wednesday was again, another normal work day. It was a a bit shit if I'm honest! I like my job but one thing I don't like is the phones.. I am responsible for taking the calls in the office and it just fills me with anxiety to be honest. Knowing everyone is listening.. not knowing who it's going be or if I'm going to be able to deal with their query.. I'm just rubbish at it and have very little confidence when it comes to this. 

So anyway,  the phone rang loads in a a short amount of time, which I hate! And I got all flustered, one of the calls I didn't take the name and the other I assumed it was a certain company and it wasn't (they sounded very similar) and yeah it all went very wrong. 

My director told me off a bit and I just felt like such a twat. My manager told me not to take it to heart but it wasn't him saying something it was ME being rubbish and messing it up. 

It annoys me so much that I'm so useless at it. I want to get better but for some reason as soon as the stupid phone rings I just lose all logic! Grrr. It's something that really gets to me. 

So yeah, I was in a bit of a crappy mood after this. 

But I went to the gym and it definitely made me feel better.  I went off home and me and Ant got showered and made steak for dinner. Beautiful.

Ant's so good, always making me feel better and lifting me up. What would I do without him! 

This post wasn't a great one but such is life ey

Sunny Monday

Ahh Monday off!

So I woke up feeling good about the fact that the sun was shining and me and Ant had the day off together whilst everyone else was at work muaha!

I up got up, walked to the gym and did another weights class.

I then called Antony on my walk home and we discussed our day plans.. he was getting up and getting a bath. He was rushing as he really wanted to get out in the sunshine asap.

I got to my friend's house to feed his cats and make sure the house was looking nice and they were coming home in a couple days.

He has a hot tub and I needed to add a tablet to it to make sure it was clean for his return, this was fine.. until I realised I couldn't put the lid back on the hot tub by myself!

I had a proper little stress because I just wanted to go and enjoy my day off! So I stropped home, annoyed I couldn't do it by myself, even though it was really light! It was the size, if I pushed one side up the other would then fall off.. grr..

I popped to a shop and bought stuff for breakfast, got home and had a quick shower.

Me and Ant went back and sorted the hot tub as I kept worrying about it.. as per. Such a worrier!

We got home, had a ham and spring onion omelette and rushed out. We popped into Waitrose and got some picnic supplies.

We then headed to Virgina Water. After Ant took the wrong turn 2 or 3 times (even though it's right by our house and we've been there many times!) we finally parked up and walked through.

We walked around for a little while feeling happy and relaxed.

We sat down on a blanket by the water and fed the duckies. We had our lunch and chilled out for a bit, it was so nice!

Apart from the bugs and insects I kept finding on the blanket or me!! I hate them so so much.

Ant absolutely loves to wind me up so found it hilarious every time I got up screaming like a little girl. We always end up having a little jokey argument and play fighting, does make me laugh loads.

After laying around being lazy and taking selfies, we decided to go for a walk.





We ended up walking around the whole of Virgina Water.. it was probably around 2 hours walk which was really nice. We chatted about loads, mainly about future plans and how much we enjoyed Arcadia/Fabric but also wanted to have a healthy life too!

So we're planning to start housey stuff and Ant's coming back to the gym. Adult life..

So after our long walk, we were feeling tired. We'd had such a nice day in the sunshine together, but it was around 5pm now and so we headed home for some chill time before work tomorrow.

I made us a bacon, sweet potato and squash stew and it was really yummy! To be fair, I say I made it, Ant helped a lot! Sometimes I don't give him enough credit! Sorry Ant.. not that you'll ever read this.

So, we had dinner, had a slob and a cuddle on the sofa before going to bed.

Work tomorrow, booo!

Slobbing Sat and Sun

Me and Ant were sleeping when Hannah rushes in, still pissed shouting 'guys, guys, it's half 11. Shit boys, I was supposed to be at work at 9'

Bit fat oops.

I was so tired, I just couldn't even move or speak yet. 5am- 11:30am is not enough sleep for me.

But she was still drunk and hyper so started blowing raspberries on my foot and dragging me out of bed. Little shit!

I eventually got up as I needed to feed my friend's cats. Antony drove us there and I was so grateful for it as I was definitely not functioning properly yet.

I was so happy to come home and into the duvet on the sofa! I was in a major need of a slob sesh.

And that's exactly what I had! I honestly didn't get up for the entire day other than for a wee and even that I waited until the last second.

We ordered pizza and watched some weird space film, First Dates, The Revenant, Blue Planet, Black Mirror.. all sorts! With naps during them all of course.

What a lovely day.

I then took myself off to bed around 11, I needed to get a proper sleep and wake up tomorrow feeling human please!

Sunday I woke up feeling loads better and then I wanted to sort my life out! I was determined to feel normal again.

I went downstairs and started clearing up. So many beer and wine bottles and just mess and I hate mess!!

So anyway I sorted that all out and then me and Lois went to Sainsburys. Lois is an absolute babe for going with me, I still felt a bit empty headed and need her support even if it was just for a Sainsburys shop!

£65 later and I was home with a kitchen full of healthy food to try and make myself feel better about my life!

Ginette and Albert (Ant's mum and her husband) came round as they are helping us to sort a plan out for the mancave as we really want to get started on our house now.

We made a cuppa and started to talk about what we wanted to do. We decided that we needed to do the garden first as then we could use the back garage access for things we wanted to bring in, like new decking for example. We are planning to brick up the garage door so obviously no access.

We're then going to sort the roof out on the mancave, insulate, add a wall.. all things I half listened to because I just want it magically done!

I'm joking, I want to help. I just want it to be easy and I know it won't be!

So next weekend we are actually going to do some gardening. I've not really any real gardening before, so this is going to bed fun!

It's also meant to be 20 something degrees so I may just end up sunbathing.

Okay okay, I won't I will do stuff.. I am quite looking forward to it actually. I want a healthy, active and productive weekend after the couple we've had.

Anyway, so I then went off to a gym class. I must say it was hard! I'd had a week off and lots of drinking.. so it was tough.

But it felt really good afterwards. I then walked home in the sunshine.

When I got home me and Antony swept, mopped and cleaned the house. Antony actually helped me! But only because his friend was coming round in about an hour and I said I wanted to get the downstairs done before hand.

Seriously though, he was so helpful and I am very grateful! It felt so good to have been shopping, gym and now have a clean house!

I then had a nice relaxing bath, went to feed my friend's cats, got some petrol and then home to chill out.

See how much I am sorting my life out here.. proud!

Me and Ant have Monday off as well so properly nice to chill and know we don't have work the next day!

Fabric Friday

Ahhh, so I really am going to have to play catch up here! It's now Tuesday night and I've not posted since Thursday. I know when I'm looking back on this in years to come I'm gonna wonder where I went! (which is what happened to you mum!). So I'm gonna just fill in the days.. or any interesting bits anyway.

On Friday, me and Ant woke up and thought.. oh god Fabric tonight! Usually we'd be so excited! But I think with having just gone to Arcadia, we just weren't as up for it. And living in our own little home, we often just like take away and chills on the sofa with a casual drink on a Friday.. god we are getting old!

Anyway, we knew we'd enjoy it later.

Work was work... I remember actually trying to write a post on Friday and being like I've nothing to say!

Anyway.. I finished at 5 and headed to my friend's to feed his cats. In my head I was just thinking I'll pop in really quick cos I was just desperate to get home. I just wanted a glass of wine.. and a cigarette (SHAME ON ME I KNOW)

I got to my friend's and his cat ran out the front door.. he usually comes straight back in but this time (the time I wanted to rush!) he wouldn't come in for ages.

Every time I tried to get him in with treats or calling his name, he hissed at me and hit me with his stupid cat paw!

I was getting so frustrated, one second thinking right fuck him, don't care, whatever... then thinking goddddd, I can't leave him. My friend said not to let him out of the front because of the road.. so I needed to get him back in!

Whilst in the kitchen effing and blinding over this stupid cat, he just swans in looking at me.. you..little..

Anyway, so I finally get to go home!!

I was so tired and frustrated at this point I just wanted wine! And of course, I had lots of it. I felt like I needed to drink lots to get in the mood for tonight.

But I drank too quickly and wanted to leave the house at like 8 and that was way way too early for Fabric.

Anyway, Hannah came round to get ready and pre drink we me and Antony.

We finally left with some drunken singing in the taxi from me and Hannah.. and eventually got in the queue for Fabric, yay! Oh actually, I ended up making us get out of the taxi early as I needed a wee. As always.

Hannah somehow scraped her leg and was now using my cardi to wipe it up, lovely! Not that I actually cared at all at the time.. or now!

We got in, got some drinks and got our rave on. The music was SO GOOD. I bloody love drum and bass. We saw our friend's Ade and Rach there and had a boogie together. It's annoying because this is a long post and not much details about Fabric but I can't say I remember a huge amount from actually being in there! Just that it was a good time.

It was awesome awesome awesomeeeeeeee. We did leave around 2:45 or something because we always said we were leaving early as Hannah had work the next day, but to be completely honest we left because we were messy. Oops!

Ant called Hannah to see where she was as we were leaving and turns out she was already in a cab! So I had to repeat my post code to her about 20 times before just asking her to put on the cab driver. God knows where she was going before hand. She was with some boy she and Ant used to know.

Anyway, we got back eventually.

Me, Ant, Hannah the guy they both knew, Alex sat and chatting and drank more wine for a couple more hours.

It was fun! Alex told us about when he was stabbed 6 times a few years ago which was.. interesting! I just couldn't believe it.

 Again can't remember much more about what we talked about, but again it was a good time!

Off to bed we went at 5am.

Thursday thrills

So today, I woke up to Antony waking me up very gently.. I was so surprised he was waking me up! This means I actually slept past 8am.

I went to bed really early as well.. I think I went to bed around half 9 and woke up at 820. I feel I may have finally caught up from the weekend now. Just in time for Fabric on Friday!

So I got up and ready and headed to my friend's house then to work.. same old really.

I met up with Ant for lunch and we discussed our evening plans. Ginette has asked if we can go to a flat she rents out and clean it a bit as the new tenants are arriving tomorrow and apparently there's mould or something like that.. so that's my plan tonight!

Very exciting stuff. Then to my friends, then home to eat and chill. 

I have eaten really badly and not exercised since Saturday and so feeling like a fat lazy flump. I've decided to get it out of my system and then re-start on Sunday/Monday. Really get back into it! It's summer soon.. I can't put weight on now.

So I wrote out this plan - the Tuesday slimming world recipe is bacon, sweet potato and squash stew. Lois is doing slimming world and so thought I’d make us something this time. Sorry for the swear word mum but it’s now a running joke that on Friday we have fuck knows!

 I always needs a plan to get me back into action and I think that one will do! Wheatley has also joined the gym now and wants to start coming so I'm gonna start doing evenings with her too. 

Friday tomorrow and I'm ready for the weekend.. tomorrow night we're going to Fabric nightclub in Laaandan and Wheatley is gonna drive which is beaut! Also said she's gonna leave about 3 which is also a beaut as I was dreading the 6am finish (I’m getting old, I used to be gutted when it finished at 6!!) and then Saturday being completely written off. Even though it probably will be anway.. 

Sunday I want to gym and cook and get my life together and then Monday me and Ant have taken off to chill together! (we didnt think we'd be recovered from Friday cos we're old now but I reckon we'll be fine!)

And that’s my life basically. I’m now sat chilling on the sofa after loads of food and feeling bad that I shouted at Ant for showing me his bogey... 

But seriously why!?

Catch up/ramble

Ah, so after not being able to get to sleep for ages cos I just felt sick after Arcadia, Antony then came up and started snoring so I got into the spare (ish) bed with Hannah next door and slept so much better. I woke up about 7, typically! Fed my kitties, saw Matty asleep on the sofa and then thought right, I need more sleep! 

About and hour and half later, I woke up and said hello to the other dying people in my house. It wasn't pretty.

I had to go feed my friend's cats (yes I definitely neglected them Sunday night, I feel awful! Completely forgot) so Hannah gave me a lift there and we went to Burger King on the way back.

We munched and slobbed for a bit. Matty went home to his bed, I really don't blame him.

I started to feel okay so thought I'd be productive instead of just sitting on the sofa watching something I really wasn't in to. Hannah put something she's currently watching on, think I've seen some of it too. She just likes looking at the long haired men on there ha.

So I stripped the beds, tidied up, sorted the cats out, swept the floor, and yeah basically cleaned and tidied around Hannah and Ant.

Then I had a really long bath and washed away all the sweat and glitter and probably sick off me!

I am definitely getting old because the fact I put on 3 lots of washing AND them all be dry by the end of the day, made me really happy..

I then sunbathed and chilled in the garden until it was time to go and feed my friend's cats again. Me and Ant headed out and Hannah headed home.

We went to the Chinese and the chippy after feeding the cats and then happily munched and slobbed out until it was time for bed. The 3 day weekend was over and we were not happy about it! It was also baking hot, so sleep was going to be uncomfortable. Or was it! Because we had fresh bedding and were both exhausted from the heavy weekend.

Waking up this morning was difficult! Just the thought of normal work life.. I like my job but you know.. it's not Arcadia!

Poor Ant was very sleep and sulky but we persuaded each other to be positive and get on with it.

BUT life hates us and we both ended up stuck in loads and loads of traffic. It was about 20 degrees and so it was not fun! We were on the phone to each other just moaning about it.

I then reversed into a walking man! I went too far forward onto the roundabout before I realised i'd be blocking it and and then looked in the mirror, saw the car behind was far back and so started to reverse. I didn't realised a man was walking behind me! I don't know if the thump was me hitting him or his hand hitting the car like STOP.

I apologised loads and asked if he was okay and he looked annoyed at first - obviously! But I think he saw how sorry and shocked I was and just sort of gave me thumbs up like it's fine, it's fine.

But it wasn't and I burst into tears and couldn't control my stupid sobs. I pulled over and ended up walking to work cos I couldn't hack the heat, traffic and my stupid emotional-ness. Ant ended up pulling over as well and walking with me as the traffic was so bad!

We finally made it to work and we decided to get a coffee and re-start the day. We can do it! 

Then after work Ant had Matty over and I had Lois over, we ate lots of yummy food and slobbed. Perfect.

It's now Wednesday evening and I'm trying my hardest to catch up here so I don't get behind! I keep just having super long blog posts instead - sorry!

But today has been a normal work day.. been quiet and I met Ant for lunch where I had lil moan about how I can be really stupid at work sometimes and then I realise and worry people around me are like.. why she so dim?!

But I'm over it because I cheered myself up by going to TK Maxx and buying a new handbag. Ant also always cheers me up as he's so sweet, even if I do shout at him when he laughs at me. I also ate pizza and now telling Antony that we are going to be fat and get take away tonight because I've lost my motivation to eat well/exercise.. I do this a lot. It will come back soon, hopefully!  

Arcadia!!!!

Where do I start!

It's been a mad couple of days..

Saturday was a loooovely day, me and Antony took out some blankets and chilled in our garden. It was so beautiful to lie there and just think ahh, relaxing in our own lil garden together. 

Until he started to wind me up by pushing me out of his shade and putting his cold cold coke can on me! He just loves to annoy me, honestly! But no, it was really nice. 

I then got ready and he dropped me off and the pub with my 2 besties Hannah and Abby - the pokemon professionals and squirrel friends.

We sat chatting and having a cider in the pub garden and slowly but surely the other girls joined us. It was good! But I did leave around 11 as I wanted to be on top form the next day.. even though I was quite drunk!

I got home and me and Ant ordered pizza and chilled. 

The next morning, I got up excited!! Went and fed my friend's cats and started to get ready asap. It was ARCADIA DAY!! Literally so excited. 

I started pre drinking vodka at about 9am, still feeling a little hungover but so ready for the day! It was another really sunny day and I love that.

Hannah and Katy came round and started getting ready with vodka and glitter. Matty then came round and we headed to the station to meet Baxter and Fraz.

We all managed to get on the same train and get going.. me and the girls were pre drinking and annoying the guys.. as per usual! The train/tubes were hot and we were all desperate to get there. 

After a looooong and sweaty walk, we finally arrived! The queue in was super quick and we headed straight to the bar! We could see Arcadia and hear the tunes already. Ahh just writing it I can feel the excitement I had on Sunday.

After getting a drink we headed to the tent we could hear drum and bass coming from. It was baaaaaaaanging!! We all did the usual OIIIIIII and started skanking out. I got myself up on a little podium of course! It was awesome but SO hot so we ended up going back and forth in and out of the tent. Cooling down, wanting to rave, cooling down, needed to raaaave. We also had lots of trips to the bar and walked around, it wasn't a huge place so couldn't get too lost. 

Although there were a lot a lot of phone calls/texts of where are you?! WHERE!!? Can you see me waving?!

It was such an incredible day! We had such a laugh and a good ole rave. We used to go every other weekend about 7/8 years ago and now we go every few months! If that! So it was awesome to do it again and with some old friends. 

We headed over to Arcadia as it was about to get darker and have some tunes on (it did have some during the day but not skatty enough for us). 

To be honest, it was amazing but did take aaaaaaaaaages to get the actual tunes on and the drops going... felt like we were constantly waiting for the music to start really.. 

Frazer was making me crease, I was getting so much enjoyment out of him shouting 'This is shit!!! Put some drum and bass on!!! House was yesterday! This is shit!!'

But eventually it did get better and we were having itttttttttttt. I spent a lot of time holding Hannah's hand cos I just had no balance as there was a little ledge and everyone was bigger than me.. and maybe alcohol had a lil part to play.

Antony put me on his shoulders and Bax put Hannah on his and WOW! It was bloody amazing. I miss so much being small! Arcadia is just awesome, they had little spidery things crawling out the side of it, jellyfish things coming out and people dancing around. FIREEEEE coming out. Was. Awesome.

We raved and raved until we could take no more.. and I must say I must be getting old because I did get to the point I was done. It was 15 mins before the event ended and I just wanted to sit down.

Hannah felt the same and it was good to have someone on the same page as me throughout the rave I must say! Hannah is the best person to go raving with cos we always wanna do the same thing. Anyway, we waited around for ages and tried to figure out how to get home for aaaaages. 

Finally £200 later, into an uber.

I felt sooo rough and had to get out of the car to throw up on the way back.. luckily we were stopped and I got out casually and yeah... lots and lots of liquid haha. I hadn't eaten all day.

I got home and straight into bed! What. A. Day!!!!!

Sunny Saturday

Last night we had a huge chippy dinner and then just chilled alll night long, it was b e a utiful.

This morning I woke up early which is annoying but felt I slept well apart from being woken up in the middle of the night with a chest pain. I tried to take deep breaths to make it go but it just wouldn’t and I was obviously half asleep so just ended up drifting off again. Couldn’t have been that bad!

So I got up at about 7 and sorted my cats out and got into my gym gear. 

I headed to my friends house, fed his cats and went to the gym. I was early for my class so did a quick set of weighted squats and lunges. (30 kg, 8 pulse squats 8 lunches on each leg 3x just in case anyone cares) 

Then I went off to the circuits class. Oh my, it was so hard! I wanted it to end like twice and it just wouldn’t haha. 

I do love when the classes are hard but not always at the time. 

I burnt 426 calories so it was only right I then came home and had a bacon sandwich (and I wonder why I am putting on weight..!) 

I then did the house work, moaned at Antony for never helping till he helped and then made banana and peacan bread. I’ve made this before and it was really yummy! 

I really don’t enjoy baking, I like cooking but as we had left over bananas, I thought what the hell. 

I’m now in the bath chilling and when I get out will see how the bread is doing & post a pic, if I’ve not burnt it! 

I’m gonna paint my nails and get myself ready to go to top golf and pub later tonight. 

I’m also going to sit in the sunshine as it’s another beaut day again! Need to hurry though in case the sun goes in! 

Friyayaaaaay

Happy Fridyayaaaaaaaaaaaay, 

The sun is shining today and it's almost the 3 day weekend wooo!

Feeling good today, I put together an outfit for Arcadia.. it's really nothing special but it will do. I am so so excited! I don't reaaaally care what I look like. 

I did pop in to some shops on my way to work and looked for gems/glitter but I only found 2 shops that did them, one was ridiculously expensive for what they were and the other you could only get them free if you spent £12 and couldn't buy them on their own.. FINE.

I have some glitter at home I'll just shove on. Let's be honest, we're gonna look at state by the end of it anyway, drinking and dancing all day in the sun! Sweaty mess I reckon.

So today, I'm obviously working.. meeting Ant for lunch and back to work. Then I am going to walk to Sainsburys, get lots of booze and supplies for the weekend. Then Ant's going to pick me up, we feed my friends cats then get chippy! 

I am so looking forward to a nice chilled evening.. calm before the storm.

Tomorrow we are going to Top Golf for one of my besties Hannah's birthday, should be good fun. We've already said we're gonna be rubbish but will just drink and eat and give it a go. Sounds fun to me!

Then we're going to some pubs near Hannah's house, we'd usually go back to mine afterwards as obviously, it's just me and Ant there. But I'm determined to be sensible and not stay up all night drinking cos of Sunday's plans. 

We'll see how it goes.. I just really don't want to wake up hanging out me ass on Sunday. I wanna wake up excited!!

Update - I wrote this this morning but didn’t post. I’ve now finished work and was supposed to walk to Sainsburys then to friends house and then chippy and  home... but after speaking to my bad influence of a mother I ended up going to a pub and sitting with a glass of wine. I’m now waiting for Ant to finish work and take us to Sainsburys. Oops! 

I blame my mother and FriYaY personally...
