The Sunday Edit #8 | Appointments, Shopping and Catch Ups!

I didn't have much planned for this week so I was sort of taking every day as it came, I did have a few lazy days but I thought i'd share my week with you anyway!


Monday, not a lot was done as the weather wasn't too great and it looks like Autumn is coming- hence why I wore a chunky scarf and not a lot of colour. I woke up early and booked my doctors appointment. My sisters text me to say that they were coming around my house so I was quite excited as I hadn't seen them both much in a little while. We spent the afternoon nattering away about anything and everything- it was so nice to have a good catch up! My mum then decided to drag me to B&Q with her, yawn! We also popped into Asda to buy some fruit so that I could make some smoothies and juices in the week. I then persuaded my mum to take me to McDonalds which was super naughty! As if we didn't have enough takeaway while we were away.

Tuesday was the day I had been dreading for a little while, I had to go to the doctors to have a Meningitis vaccine. I've had quite a few needles in the past few years but for some reason I was really nervous, it didn't help that the person before me was screaming the place down while having theirs done. The nurse was lovely though and it was over within two minutes. Again I went shopping with my mum and we got a free packet of Disney Princess cards for spending over a certain amount- woo! 
I spent the evening watching Educating Cardiff and if you weren't aware I'm actually from Cardiff myself. It was cringe worthy but it made me miss high school a lot!


On Wednesday, I woke up early well at least it was earlier than I have woke up in a while. I love the summer holidays! To start the day I had a pineapple, apple and carrot juice and got ready for the dentist. I was scared that i'd have to have another filling but no, all went well thankfully! I then popped into the agency I've started working for, for a meeting then went to visit my friend in work. Although I am trying not to spend at the moment, I couldn't resist a browse in town as I had two vouchers for Topshop (and other stores within the same group) and Boots. I was a left a little disappointed when I didn't manage to spend my Boots one, shock horror! I just wasn't really feeling anything. I did however pick up a pair of new pointed boots for Autumn/Winter from Dorothy Perkins and I love them!

MMM!
Not much was done on Thursday, except blogging! Me and my sister decided to pop to IKEA on Friday though, she is a teacher so was in need of a few bits for the classroom but I couldn't resist a trip to IKEA as i'm a lover of all things home ware! I didn't need anything so I didn't get anything, apart from Pick N Mix which I never have so I allowed myself. Last minute me and my friends decided to go out for food, we went to Las Iguanas again which was lovely! It was really nice to have a good catch up too!

I've not got much planned this weekend so i'm going to leave it there, however if something drastic happens i'm sure I will update you! I'm not sure if you'll see a Sunday Edit from me next week as it's Back To School week and i'll be busy sorting out things for work for when I start, however you shall see other things from me! 
Happy Bank Holiday Weekend!

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO THIS WEEK?

The Sunday Edit #3

Hello!
I'm back with my third Sunday Edit, like I said I would like to continue doing this weekly, although it may depend on the week I've had and whether I've actually got up to much. This week I was slightly reluctant to do this one as I haven't got up to a whole lot, but I am going to try to do these weekly so here I am documenting my week.

Monday was the day I organised to meet up with my old school friends who I hadn't seen since March, so long! We were slightly unsure what we were going to do but it was happening, without a doubt- once I could be bothered to shower(disgusting- I know). Then my mum decided to make a spontaneous trip to IKEA and I was not letting it go, I love IKEA! So off I went looking pretty terrible with my sunglasses to hide my face, haha! We went to buy things for my younger brothers new room that we will be decorating shortly that I'm super excited about as I love decorating, I did my room last summer which you can see here. Also I'm hoping to get a little room updates post up soon so keep an eye out for that!

The faux flowers- £1 (I forgot to take a photo of the vase)
Anyway, I didn't buy a lot as I'm trying to save. There was a sale on and I saw a vase and flowers that I couldn't resit, the vase was 30p(what!?) and the faux flowers that were only £1, I haven't found a position in my room that I definitely want to put them but they look pretty! I've also been craving Pick 'n' Mix for a while now and IKEA had some, of course I got some although I didn't pick out a lot. Ok before I forget to mention I'm falling a little in love with SMART cars, so I had a picture with one and apparently I suit it! Haha!

Me looking rather rough next to the SMART car, want!
Anyway, I got home and got ready. We decided to go and see The Fault in Our Stars, I was a bit apprehensive as I hadn't read the book and I didn't know what I was letting myself into, both my friends had read the book and they said I would probably cry as I hadn't, I was not looking forward to it! Anyway I met my friends and off to the cinema we went, I was slightly nervous as the film was just over 2 hours but I made through it without shedding a tear, what!? The film was good, although I must say I don't think it was 'amazing' as everyone said it was, maybe because I haven't read the book but i'd still recommend it!
It was so lovely to catch up with my friends after not seeing them for so long, I really enjoyed it and hope to organise more with them soon!

Seeing as Monday was a tad long, I've decided to chunk Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday together as I did not get up to hell of a lot. It seems these days in the week consist of nothing, just me getting into comfy clothes and spending the day watching TV and having laptop time, oops! To be quite honest the only time I went out was Tuesday and that was to do a food shop with my sister and to get dinner, we had ready meals which is pretty minging but we couldn't be bothered to cook! I had tomato and basil pasta, yum!

Friday I had to be up early to go and collect my GCSE certificates from my high school, I've been trying to contact the school for weeks to see if they were available to collect but I had no luck, they said they had lost them- not cool as it meant I would of had to pay for each one individually even though it was not my fault! I spoke to the one in charge of them straight away and he got them for me straight away, so annoying as I was panicking that they were actually lost!
It was so strange to be back at my old school, it actually made me realise that I miss it so much. It was so nice to step back inside, haha I never thought i'd say that!

My Friday and Saturday nights are usually spent the same, working! I also didn't get up to a lot this weekend so I'm going to end this here! I hope I haven't bored you too much haha, hoping to get up to a lot more next week and make it more interesting! That's all for now..
