New Year New Plan

The Great North Run

So like many people, I decide every year I am going to lose a little bit of weight, get fit and generally tone up! Well after many years of coming round to the idea - I've finally decided that this year is the year I actually do it!

Before Christmas I joined my works gym, completed my induction and attended one gym session - and enjoyed it. But I decided that it wasn't enough, I needed a goal to work towards, well a realistic goal.

The Great North Run.

I am going to run to raise money for the college charity (yet to be decided by the students for 2013).

This is a great target for me as I will gain what I want out of it and raise money for charity. 

Even better, I logged on to the www.greatrun.org to register my interest and noticed a training programme, so I registered on the training programme and I LOVE IT!!!

My 'real' training doesn't start until May........brilliant news to me and to slowly get me ready for my training I have to start with a brisk 15 walk on Sunday.

This is the kind of training that I like, plus with one gym session tomorrow, I feel I am actually making a positive change to a plan I've had for years!!!

This activity will also encourage me to blog more about the experience too, so two birds, one stone :)

Because it was Friday and Payday!

So I have bought some fabulous things this weekend!!!

www.debenhams.com  Jasper Conran £39

I love love this brand new bag!!


Which was my reason for my pay day lunch time shopping trip on Friday!!! :) Its the bright colour & the satchel design that attracted my attention. It has two small pockets on the front -great for my keys & lip balm, 3 compartment large compartment sections one with a zip, a phone holder and zipped back pocket. It also conveniently comes with a long detachable strap so you can wear it as a shoulder bag.

I am also considering buying the matching purse!!! Do I dare?





www.debenhams.com Flora by Gucci £44

I was bought Flora by Gucci for Christmas from my lovely boyfriend, I do know he had some help from his sister but still I love that he bought it for me and that I have it!!!

I have wanted the purse spray since I got it  whilst I was at the till buying my bag!!!

So after much umming and should I or shouldn't I went and bought it after work!

It's brilliant, as not only does it come with the holder & a 15ml vile it comes with three spares!

I can guarantee that this spray will not be leaving my handbag for a long time!!!









www.ikea.co.uk Expedit £19.99

Who doesn't love a trip to Ikea?!

This is one of the items that I wanted Chris to look at when he moved in, just something to keep his Xbox in. There are a couple of other things that need to be bought for this item and it might be attached to the wall very soon but I'mpleased with it. HOWEVER I must clearly state that it does not come with the Xbox, Karen Rose books, my 'K' cusion or the mug!!









Blogging difficulty.

So, since I decided to get a blog I've found it difficult to figure out what on earth to actually blog!!!
Random things that I thought I'd blog about don't seem to be working. As much as I would love to be able to comment more time than the odd occasional just on line and blog - so I reckon that I am going to stick to the things that I am doing, well buying!!! So here are some of thing that I've bought over the weekend and Fridays are included in my 'weekends' haha

So the move is now offical and complete! And look what else has moved in! Not sure that I signed up for that moving in! Oh well, first weekend is out of the way and it's actually been really nice and not scary one little bit!!
Though I have refrained from shouting 'honey, I'm home!' when walking though the door :) think it would of been too cliche! And there's boys clothes in my laundry basket! Am sure there are rules!!

Interesting times!

So the bombshell was dropped on me before Christmas! If there's a sentence that will stun you into silence its 'shall we live together' So after an hour of ignoring the text well the official line is 'I was in a meeting' it was pretty much decided but still having the conversation was still a little awkward.

Any how, the big merger is two weeks from Friday and I'm starting to get nervous!!! Having lived alone for 6years! This is going to be a very big learning curve for me. So I decided to use my blog as an outlet for annoying silly little things that he does!

So in preparation of the move I've been making some changes I have actually got rid of ten, yes, 10 bags of clothes!! (amazingly I still have more that I can get rid of as 'my' wardrobe is rammed still!) and I am more than will to make change but seriously the silly things that he has suggested!!! Such as the order of the cutlery draw and the organisation of my food cupboards!!!

I would of been able to have coped with 'too many flower prints' or 'let's decorate' BUT the organisation of my kitchen draws and cupboards is just ridiculous!!!

Well I think I'll get him back with an extra long Ikea trip.....haha

Weird hair

Sat on the bus going home and I catch sight of this hair style!! Do you think i'll catch on!?

Another want!!

Least this one is a bit more affordable!! Might have get this!

One of many!

Here's yet another handbag that i would love but just can't afford :(
