So it is Thursday and I am officially back at work. I did
come back Tuesday but then I had Wednesday off and the day flew by so it was
rather pleasant day at work!
But now I am SUFFERING with the come down of a good time.
The first time I really felt this was in June/July 2012 when I had my
Graduation then I had London Film and Comic Con and then Laura’s hen do and
then when it was all over, not only did I get sick but returning to normality sucked
asses. Actually to be fair I get it every year throughout January as I pine for
Christmas not to be over!
So last week I was counting down the days till Thursday. Actually
I would really wish I could turn back the clocks by exactly 1 week. I finished
up at 5:30 RAN to the car and speed off to Cineworld in Crawley where we
grabbed a maccy d’s and then went to watch War Horse live in the cinemas. It
was AMAZING. I was lost for words, the puppets are just mind blowing I feel
calling them puppets not doing them justice! You forget they aren’t real and
they move just like real horses. I was in floods of tears by the end of first
half convinced it was going to end horribly *spoiler alert * but it ended
happily and the horse did not die thank god as I think I would of exploded.
I then woke up at 7:20AM!!!! On Friday, I had planned on
getting up at 8ish but I was too excited and I made pancakes and bacon because
my bacon pancake failed. Looked more like a omelette, although Matt really
enjoyed it. I also had some and it was very tasty and then he unwrapped his
gifts and was really really pleased with them. Then he had a lovely birthday
treat and I took him to the dentist. The dentist was good and bad news. Bad
news its going to cost upwards of £800 over the next few months to get his
teeth fixed up. Good news is they can save his tooth AND we are going to get
everything fixed up before they get really bad. I’m really angry his previous
dentist didn’t pick up on any of this.
After that we went home and I got ready and Matt played
Titan which came out that morning and then we went and had buffalo for lunch which
was lovely. Full rack of ribs, whole chicken, 4 portions of fries and 2
bottomless drinks for £24.95 and then we went around Croydon where I picked up
a HEDIOUS cardigan I had mail ordered (that went straight back did not look
like it did online) and then tried to find Matt a jacket no luck though.
I had planned on napping but by the time we got home and the
fact I hadn’t packed or anything I got a 10-20 nap in and we were meant to
leave at 6pm but it was almost 7:30pm by the time we left and headed up to
Nottingham. The journey was pleasant and we got to Laura’s around 10:30-11pm.
Laura had put up a few birthday banners and a balloon and got matt and cake and
some presents and he was really chuffed with them :) I wanted him to realise
people do care about his birthday!!
On Saturday we went into town, me and Matt grabbed some pub
breakfast and I had to washed my hair in cold water as the hot water had gone
off which actually felt like it was burning my head hahah!
We did lots of shopping and I found this gorgeous dress.
I was planning on getting anything but you know when you see
it and you JUST KNOW! It was £40 which is the steeper end of what I usually pay
for dresses but it was worth every penny and it fit so well too!
I wore it to Annie’s on Sunday and asked Matt to get a nice
photo and he got this instead! BAH he is great and getting me when I pull
horrible faces!
So then we got home and went to Tesco! We ended up having a
late lunch and that filled us up so we bought pizza and garlic bread on the way
home and had dinner when Sammi got back. Alas she was working almost all
weekend which sucked!
Sunday we woke up and went to a coffee shop for lunch. I won’t
lie I paid a lot for a pretty nasty panni and Matt didn’t seem to enjoy his BLT
either. Then we enjoyed some sunshine and had a good chat all afternoon and
headed off to Annie’s Burger Shack!
I was very excited to see the pancake one was still on there
so Matt had that and I went for the mushroom swiss! It was surprisingly quiet
in there and we were in and out within an hour. The food was GORGEOUS my only
complaint is they had sold out of almost all desserts except one we didn't
like. So instead we went to the orange tree and had a cocktail each instead. I've
been there 3 times now and I am addicted to the toblerone martini.
We then headed home and cut the cake had some and just
chilled out in front of the tv and was nattering for hours again. I planned on
leaving at 10-11pm but by the time we packed and kept chatting it was 11:50pm
before we left and I really didn’t want to go! I had such a nice weekend I was
GUTTED it was over and also I always forget how much I miss Laura.
The drive home was just horrendous. I bought energy drinks
but I had to pull over twice it was too much and I was WAY TOO TIRED. We made
it back home around 3:30am and I was SO SO happy to see my bed!
Monday Matt wasn’t in a very good mood and we just kinda
bummed around. We went out for lunch and I just caught up on food shopping and
what not.
Tuesday was back at work, I have to say it flew by I was
quite busy with things to catch up on and then when I got home Matt had been
very naughty and bought me the bag I had been pinning over for weeks. It’s a BEAUTIFUL
Disaster Designs bag and is a little gingerbread house! We actually saw it in a
shop in Nottingham. I didn’t know he had ordered it and I was all like OOOH
NOOO it’s way too small blah blah blah. However it does fit what I need in it
and will be great for days out when I only need my phone and purse, Its
actually fairly surprising what you can actually fit in there! But I am very spoilt
and its FREAKING ADORABLE and I really really like it!
Wednesday I then had off to have a ‘farewell lunch’ with
Matt’s brother as he is off to live in Singapore. We went up to Covent Garden
and had a burger then we and Matt made the most of the day and went around
London. I found the VOODOO Vixen dress I had been eyeing up in a shop there and
was very disappointed when the fit was terrible. I don’t know if it was the
dress in general or just the dress on me, but unless I lift my boobs close to
my chin it’s all saggy at the top. Most likely for the best as I am SOOO SKINT
till Tuesday heheh!
We are then going for a Chinese this evening with Matt’s Dad
which should be lovely and then that’s it! As you can see if you actually read
the above post I have had a rather hectic week and weekend. I’m gutted it’s all
coming to an end and I really have post weekend blues! I need a pick me up to
cheer me up!
Hopefully this weekend will be a relaxing one though!!
