Sunday Summary #35

After a glorious work free week, I am certainly wishing I wasn't returning tomorrow. Another week please. I've had a perfect mix of rest and play, with my birthday on Thursday. Went to see Lawless on Monday with my boyfriend, so good! The trailer had intrigued me but the film was just much more than I had expected. Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf were outstanding and the rest of the cast were perfect for their roles. Monday night Mum trailed me round Asda and Tescos, I love shopping but it was so much in one evening! I found the sweetest pink coat in George at Asda with black bows. I got some mermaid green court shoes which I instantly fell in love with. They have a short enough heel that I could wear them all day, probably. I currently only have stiletto height heels in my wardrobe which are great but sometimes not that practical. My Mum got me two more pairs of courts today in red and pink, they'd be perfect for an interview too as they aren't too high but flats can look too casual sometimes.
I used to love Florence + Fred at Tesco but I haven't found anything in there for ages. When I looked it was all very mumsy and casual, which is fine if that's your style. On Tuesday I saw my best friend and her little girl. We had fun watching kids tv and her little girl going through all the bracelets my Mum has been making. After lunch we went to my local park and I had my workout pushing the swing two million times. Then one of the slides had two platforms to get up to it so I stood on the middle one to assist reaching the slide. Much more arm muscle workout ensued as I pulled and then pushed up. Wednesday I visited my Mum's best friends with her and we stopped at Matalan on the way home. I got some great bits and everything I'd seen on their website I found in store, yay to that! I went to see Dredd 3D with my boyfriend and two of our friends on Wednesday evening. I felt it was pointless in 3D as barely any of it was 3D, but it was a good film and the boys enjoyed it. Thursday morning I was woken by my Mum bringing a HUGE box into my room. My boyfriend had sent me a massive crown balloon! He was at work so wouldn't be with me until the afternoon. I had breakfast and lunch in bed watching my Hills boxset and then went to meet my boyfriend from work. One of my brothers should have worked til 9pm but got off at 8pm so I waited til he got home with his girlfriend to open my presents. It practically goes without saying we always have chinese takeaway on my birthday, I love it! I was feeling quite rough though as I felt I had a cold coming. By the time we'd eaten and I'd opened my presents it was time for bed. Didn't do my cake til last night as Friday I spent relatively bare faced and feeling sorry for myself. I haven't had a cold come out and have now decided its hayfever. At the end of September. Yup, sucks to be me. Piriton has stopped my sneezing and constantly running nose thankfully. I spent yesterday shopping and got some bargains in New Look. In other random news I got Sims 3 quite a few months ago now. My boyfriend got it and it seemed worth a buy. I struggled so much to play it I ended up forgetting about it. I've loved Sims since I was younger and thought both Sims and Sims 2 were excellent and I spent hours tending to my neighbourhoods and families. I'd asked for some Sims 3 expansions for my birthday as I didn't have anything else to ask for. Since installing them I have totally turned into a Sims 3 lover. There are certain aspects of the game I don't like but for now I'm enjoying it. Sims Vacation, Makin' Magic and Sims 2 Seasons are my all time favourite expansions so I am super excited to get Sims 3 Supernatural and Seasons. I love the fact on Sims 3 Pets you can have a horse, childhood dream!

So that should be everything, don't think I have forgotten anything. Very excited for more autumn/winter wardrobe additions. Wanted a quilted jacket for years and finally got one! Never thought I would be a chelsea boot owner or wearer but I think its the plain ones I dislike not the boots themselves. Couldn't believe the Primark leopard print boots. I found a pair in Internationale last year but the last pair was too small. How I wanted those boots and now I have a pair for £12 cheaper. An evening of X Factor is ahead of me and the thought of work tomorrow. My boyfriend spoilt me on my birthday and got us tickets to Grease the Musical on Friday. I'm very excited. I love musicals and Grease is so iconic and the songs are beyond catchy.
Hope you've all had good weeks :)

Sunday Summary #34

I'm sat writing this after cooking my first ever roast for my boyfriend. Absolutely stuffed! I've the worst habit of making/cooking too much food haha. My boyfriend watched the film 2012 while I cooked, I really don't (want to) believe the world will end on the 21st December 2012...just a few months away! I've missed most of the film preparing the roast so no idea what's going on except the world is ending. I'm amazed at myself this week...no clothes shopping! I am majorly lusting after the H! by Henry Holland grey Owl jumper link, but at £38 I couldn't bring myself to spend that much. I said to my boyfriend I'll miss it when its reduced, and it went down to £30.40 online and is sold out! I love anything with an Owl on and heard Marks and Spencers are doing an Owl jumper so will go and look. Then I saw the cutest Owl bag in Accessorize today. Owl obsession!
The only shopping I've done this week was today. Quick trip round town with my boyfriend but most things I saw I'll go back with my birthday money for. Found some bargains in TK Maxx. Ever since I got my lipstick holder in there I've really come around to the shop and often go and look for stuff as I always see on Twitter and blogs about items in there but I never find them in mine. Couldn't believe my luck when I found Models Own triple boxsets!  The Beatrix Potter tins were such a find too. Words can't express how in love with them I am. They've got tea in which my boyfriend can't wait to drink and once they're empty I'll use them for something. Too cute to leave. Mum got me the sweetest panda gloves in Primark Oxford Street as she went to see the Olympians Parade with my brother on Monday. I've done a few Christmas shopping bits this week too. Two of them are things I need to work on so I had to buy them in enough time to get sorted.

This week its my birthday on Thursday, 24! I've got this week off work so should have more photos next week and more adventures. Lots of plans and a trip to Matalan so hoping for some new bits :)

 Panda Primark gloves

 Beatrix Potter tins

 Different pictures on all sides :) 

 Superdrug bargains: Nivea lip care 99p, Cherry Batiste £1.45

Models Own Triple Boxset

 l-r Black Smash-Up, Jade Stone, Purple Poppy

 This little lot cost me just £3.96, 99p store!

 Can't find to use this :) 

Birthday presents so far :) 

I'd been told about white Lion bars in a 99p store in my town but when we got there I discovered they also did normal Lion bars and Peanut ones so got one of each. Love using pretty cases for my baking and the shower gel smells lovely, I love Jasmine! I already have a black Models Own Smash-Up but I've wanted Jade Stone for ages and although I have a big list for the Models Own sale I couldn't resist a bargain like this. I'm getting through quite a bit of Batiste as I grow my hair and wash it once a week. This stuff is a life saver and the cherry one is my favourite. I rarely pay full price for Batiste as you can always pick it up on offer and Superdrug regularly do their better than half price on it so I got another can. I'm keeping my birthday presents in my living room to avoid peeking/feeling/looking/shaking temptations. 

That's it for this week! Off to the cinema tomorrow to see Lawless, heard so many good things about it and can't wait to see the Sweeney asap. 

Hope you've all had good weeks
