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!
