Day 111 - Ivy Nightmare!

I am really enjoying my porridge and blueberries for breakfast, it is keeping me full for atleast four hours which is amazing!


My lunch was leftover spaghetti bolognese, delish!


After work myself and the partner had to lovely job of tearing down some ivy that had been growing up our house. It has been about 6 foot tall for the amount of time we have lived at this property, however due to the amount of rain we have had over the last few months it has grown so much and got the point where it was getting into the guttering, not good! So we decided to rip it all down, so we don't have to worry about maintaining it.

Also, I have never EVER seen so many spiders in my life! There was no way I wanted to keep that anywhere near my house!!




And this is it after...



It's looking a little bare, but alot better than it did before! The markings on the brickwork will fade, but at the moment it's looking a little rough around the edges!

I then spent an hour in the bath using a deep conditioning hairmask and body scrub, trying to capture a little of the experience I had at the spa the other day! It was lovely and very relaxing, but not a scratch on what I had the other day! Will have to try harder next time!

Day 110 - Getting the Jobs Done

And it's back to the grind!

The day started well...



Lunch was a beetroot salad and two slices of leftover vegetable pizza from the otherhalves tea last night!  It was a very tasty and refreshing lunch.

Dinner was a spaghetti bolognese, what else would it be?! I have tried to decrease my portion size, therefore have the left overs for my lunch the next day. So far it seems to be going well, and I am looking forward to my lunch now!

After work I didn't get up to anything hugely exciting, just catching up with my jobs, and blog posts. It has been such a hectic few days I didn't get chance to update on the go. Back to it today though, and this week is looking like it's going to be a good one!

Day 109 - Walking on Sunshine

We started Sunday going for a lovely walk in the sun, it was a gorgeous day and when the weather is good in the UK there is nothing better than getting outside and seeing the countryside!


We went on a five mile walk from our house, through some local woodland, and then back up to our local supermarket. We then did our weekly shop and carried the shopping home, talk about multi-tasking! And it gave those arms a little extra workout, perfect!



We then went to a friends house warming / birthday BBQ.

Food -

Breakfast - Porridge
Lunch/Dinner - Vegetable kebab, pasta, salad and garlic bread

It was the best weekend I have had in a long time, and I am so happy to have such lovely friends and family!  Here's to many more weekends like this!

Day 108 - Show Time!

IT'S THE WEEKEND PEOPLE - LET'S PAAARRRTAY! :)

So after our spa day break, I got home today and guess what I did?

...

No guesses? Well, it was a pretty eventful morning this morning....

I ORDERED MY WEDDING DRESS!

eeeeek! You can probably guess from all of the exclimations and capitals that I am pretty damn excited!

I ordered a dress that I have now tried on a total of FIVE times. I first came across the dress at the beginning of this year, but didn't want to commit to buying a dress with well over twelve months til the wedding day. So I kept shopping around and what do you know, kept going back to the same dress and having the same feelings. So today I took the big step and ordered it!!! I am so SO excited that it is now ordered, and I cannot wait for it to arrive!

After that pretty eventful morning we then spent the rest of the day at a local village show, where alot of my family were. It was such a nice day weather wise, and was lovely to see my family, as always! Especially this little munch...


I could cuddle her all day!

Breakfast - Porridge
Lunch - 1 x brown toast with peanut butter

Fingers crossed I can get there this week!
