Week in Photos #40

This week has been...

FRIENDLY

 Before making my Herman friendship cake I had to split it into four, add other ingredients to one and bake it and then give the other three out with a set of instructions so that other people can start their own Herman.

CWTCHY

A trip up my parents always involves cwtches with Alfie, bless him. They've had him for years, Smudge, who sadly passed away earlier this year, gave birth to him so we had him from birth. He is a massive cat. I call him the BFG (big friendly giant).

NOM

 Steak and Ale Pie, Sprouts & Chestnuts and Red Cabbage & Apple - veg courtesy of Iceland, they have some gorgeous frozen veg in over the festive period.

 Drunken midnight feast. Garlic & herb chicken, ash brown and philladelphia in a ciabatta roll.

I made turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce rolls for lunch today - my fave.

FIT

JLS and One Direction on stage, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven!

HUNGOVER

Today I've been mostly hungover! These Weight Watchers ice creams are amazing for the hangover thirst, and low in calories too! I've had a PJ day today :)

FESTIVE

Flick is always hitting these off to get on her box. I keep putting them back.

Spencer finally got around to putting the lights on our arch.

SWAPPED

I made my first Beauty Box Swap this week. I received my two Dainty Doll eyeliners and Lucy kindly added some eye cream sachets too. I swapped with Lucy who is the page creator, it all went very smoothly and we both received our goods on the same day.

CHILLED

I used the bath bomb that I bought at a local craft fair. It smelt lovely and my skin felt soft afterwards. I wasn't keen on all the bits of plant though. I was too scared to turn the jacuzzi on in my bath as I thought it may clog it up.

Other non-photographed goings on...

I can't believe that there have been 40 of these posts! I've impressed myself with how well I'm managing to stick to posting these. They seem to be quite popular posts and I enjoy doing them which is why its been easy to stick with.

I went out for a meal with two friends on Friday. We went to Frankie & Bennys which I always enjoy. I had the Pesto Salmon and it was amazing! No photos though I'm afraid. It was full in there with Christmas parties so the atmosphere was really good and the music was pumping. 

I went out with the girls last night. Only a few local drinks but I ended up quite drunk. I had a lovely time though and I think that is probably my last night out with the girls before Christmas. Busy, busy!
I loved the X Factor final, I was expecting the duets with the judges to be lame, but I actually loved everyone of them! I really hope that Little Mix win tonight.

I'm getting super excited for the Bristol meet next Friday, I watched the video earlier and am very impressed with the venue - it looks amazing! There are still tickets available if you want to come along.

Week in Post #21

Hi all, how are you today? I've been up bright and early fussing with my Christmas decs while the other half is in bed hungover after his works Xmas do last night! 

I've received quite a few bits of post this week so decided to show you my week in post :)

This week I've received...

My Lush order, there was a bit more than this but the rest were Christmas presents, I couldn't resist adding a few things for myself into the basket! I ordered this Wednesday evening and received it yesterday (Friday), very impressive.

 My dresses from Gemma's blog sale, she very kindly added a few chocolates which were delicious! 

 Klorane samples.

 L'Oreal shampoo sample.

 Pantene samples.

50 Luggage tags from eBay, ordered the evening of Friday 25 November, received Friday 02 December.

Have you received any exciting goodies this week?

Week in Photos #34 / Week in Post #19

Sorry for putting this up late, I was pretty hungover and good for nothing yesterday to be honest! I went out drinking all day Saturday, the only food I ate was breakfast. That is my excuse for being so drunk!

This week has been...

CUTE

Flick has been sleeping in some cute positions this week, I've had to move the DVDs from on top of the TV box now as she loves it under there! She also loves my fleecy blanket!

FUN

I went out for my cousin's 30th birthday on Saturday, we went out all day so I was a state! I got into the Halloween spirit with my outfit, I annoyingly forgot to take any decent photos for the blog! I had cobweb tights & black and orange socks on. I used black and green eyeshadow on my eyes.

I saw Mark when I was out who informed me that he occasionally reads my blog, Hi if you're reading Mark - your mug is now on my blog haha!

SIMPLE

Crumpets and a cuppa! Can't beat it, so simple yet so enjoyable!

SPOOKY

 Today is Halloween. I'm also quite scared on Halloween, its not of the ghosts or anything, just the chavs on the streets with eggs. Thankfully I haven't seen anything like that. I've had two lots of trick or treaters so far, the last lot were young girls with their parents, I opened the door to 'Happy Halloween!' so cute!

I'm hoping I don't get many more because I want all this chocolate, I know, selfish.

NAILED

 I'm not going to do an NOTD for my Halloween nails because they are so lame compared to some that I have seen, here they are though.

YUM

The new double pizza for Iceland. Amazing. One layer of cheese and garlic then another layer of chicken and bacon. Diet and went to heaven.

Cobweb tights from eBay

The lovely headband that Lisa kindly donated for my giveaway

Week in Post #18

I haven't received a huge amount of post this week, but what I've received I've loved! Its been beauty box week which always excites me!

My first BzzAgent trial, three bags of Nutricat, a voucher for a free bag for me and money off vouchers for friends. They are redeemable in Tesco and give you £1 off Nutricat, if you want one let me know.

The wall art to go above our bed. I bought it off this eBay seller. Zero communication and very slow delivery, but it was cheap and I love it! 

October Boudoir Prive box, you can read my post about that here.

October GlossyBox which you can read about here.

Before I start this post I want to say a massive thank you! I logged on to blogger earlier today after being absent the majority of the weekend to find that I now have 301 followers!

Week in Post #16

I'm going to start this post by saying a HUGE well done to the Welsh Rugby team, I can't believe that we have made the world cup semi finals, surreal! It made getting up at 6am this morning worth it! Well done boys!

Now I'm going to show you the lovely things that I have received in the post this week, as I'm sure a lot of you don't actually care about the rugby!

 A free sample sized bottle of the new Baileys Biscotti flavour

 A free sample of Dove body wash

 My fab RAK that I blogged about here

I've done well with the freebies this week! I requested all of these ages ago and they've all suddenly turned up!  

Have you received anything exciting?

Are any of my readers planning on attending the London Christmas blogger meet that Emma is organising? Its on the 19th November. I'm considering it but I'm not sure if I'm capable of finding my way to the venue haha! Is anyone going from Wales? If so fancy getting the Mega Bus / National Express together? We could go down and come back the same day. If you're interested either comment on this post, tweet or email me!
