Sunday Summary #37

Another week gone, another week closer to Christmas! My excitement is starting to escalate somewhat. I've finally kicked my cold, still sniffly and tired but getting there. Had a quiet week as my boyfriend was feeling run down and my house finally is half fixed after a flood at New Year. We've had no carpets or running water in the back half of the house so I keep forgetting we can finally use the bathroom out there again now. Shouldn't be long until the new carpets are down which will help as winter sets in as you don't realise how much a carpet helps with warmth until they're not there.

Had an eventful Friday as I accompanied my boyfriend to the Opticians. He made me laugh so much, trying on all types of glasses and some Vintage Where's Wally? round ones. Wish I'd got a photo! His eyes are pretty much perfect and then we did a random shop around Asda, as you do. Walked home with it all (ripped my arms off much!) as we had bussed there but it takes two buses to get back to mine. Was refreshing to have some proper exercise. Then went to get a Chinese for tea, in the biggest downpour we've had in ages. I left my boyfriend and Mum to look in the Co-op next door, got a EuroMillions ticket, which I haven't checked yet. I could have won! (extremely doubtful)

My baby brother turned 18 yesterday, couldn't wait to go out in the evening with the family, my older brothers girlfriend and my boyfriend. It was a surprise for my brother too, after a tough year we really felt we should do something very special for him. We took him to a local pub, which was packed because of football but he liked that. I really love pub food and it didn't disappoint. We then obviously had dessert and then welcomed him into the world of legal drinking with shots, jager bombs and goldschlager (never had it before, AMAZING! Need my own bottle at home). Went home very merry, wasn't the easiest of missions to walk in a bodycon skirt, in huge heels when I wasn't so stable on my feet. Plus with the pavements dipping up and down for drives, my boyfriend walked us in the road so it was flat. Heel fail haha. Luckily my area is pretty quiet so we didn't have to move off the road for cars. My brother got plenty of alcohol related gifts such as a hip flask, cocktail kit, shot glasses, bottles of alcohol and the like. It's very odd he's 18, I remember his first day at school! But its nice that the whole family can go and drink together.

I spent some of my birthday money yesterday too. I went back for some more Models Own and got some other goodies too. Not sure what I'll spend the rest on but not in a mad rush so will save it for when I might need it.
New LC novel :) My boyfriend found me a Sun Beam! :) 
 Poundland finds!!! 
 Mum found me this Flamingo shirt in Primark sale 
 Mum also found me these jumpers in Primark. The Owl one can kind of compensate for the Debenhams one. Both £14, the Owl is an 8 and the Rabbit is a 10 (if they look different). My boyfriend's Mum has also said she might be able to knit me an Owl jumper! Sweetest thing ever. 
 Sims Makin' Magic was one of my favourite expansions and I was sad Sims 2 never had anything similar. I couldn't believe it when Sims 3 Supernatural was announced. I didn't pre-order and I didn't buy when it was first released. I then discovered about a week ago, several websites had sold out/prices gone up. I had to buy it in Asda on Friday. Can't wait to get a chance to play! 
 I ordered off Superdrug online (£7.99) and got all these samples?! Intrigued with the Lady Gaga, being the first black perfume. 
 Can't resist a Claire's Accessories sale. These were 3 for 2 also so absolute bargain for some pretty everyday earrings. 
 I was really interested in the new TRESemme Texture range. Its on offer 2 for £7 at Boots and I was just going to get two, but after being unable to pick I just got all four. I love having some texture in my hair so I will be trying these as soon as I next wash my hair. 
 l-r Freak Out!, Dancing Queen, Blizzard
Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Watermelon, Rimmel BB Cream and Soap and Glory Supercat liner.
All make-up is 3 for 2 in Boots which I love! Will be making more use of the offer. 
 Goldschlager <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">
Birthday shots (I had Rainbow Sherbet and Cola)
So that's my week. I may not blog next Sunday as I'm off up slightly north for my boyfriend's nephews Christening but will post Monday. Can't believe this time next week we'll be half way into October!
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
