So I thought as I have been absent without leave, I would just give you all a run down on what has been keeping me occupied.
Firstly there has been plenty of car shopping, I have indeed decided I need a car for my own, as hubby is now using my one and uses it weekends it means I am a little stuck for days out, good shopping and general running around. Yes I could get the bus/tube but its a little difficult lugging 50 bags of shopping back from asda on the bus or trying to use the tube on a weekend is normally a no go because of the constant engineering works and we all know the damn rail replacement buses are what u could say a pain in my a*se. So we found 3 cars locally that I decided I liked and before I chose what make and models wanted I would have to actually see them. So we set off to have a peek at a golf convertible, was rather excited to be honest. I liked the pictures was a reasonable price & was pretty much all I wanted. But I didn't actually like it, I sat in it, started it, played with the buttons and put the roof up and down. I just hated the inside, the interior, the whole thing. On to the next one, a 206cc now I've been looking at these for a few weeks decided I really liked them, a little more pricy than the golf, but also a whole lot nicer from the outside. So waited patiently for the man to get the keys, very exciting and felt like forever! So he eventually brings the keys for me..... Wouldn't let me at it, he started it and then I asked him to put the roof down so I can see the boot space left once opened, it didn't work. Ok moving on I'm still stood there like a plank wanting to sit in it and see the chair positions etc! He still wouldn't move out the damn seat so I could have a play...... 25 mins later he eventually moved to allow me in it! I sat there for 20 seconds and got back out. I hated that even more than the golf. It was too compact for me, my head touched the roof and the chair was really uncomfortable! (Strikes the 206cc off the list). After that we went to see an MG ZR. Not overly excited but I thought ok it's within price range & they looks ok from the outside! May as well have a look as its just around the corner. Soon as we pulled up, not only did I not like the look of the people selling it, the car owned previously by a wanna be boy racer,we could tell cause there was a k&n air filter held on by gaffer tape & was showing signs of bad wear and tear! I sat in it to see if I liked and I can say I didn't! The dash board was ugly, the seat was uncomfortable and well it's a Rover under that MG badge, eventually noisy engine, rust and a catalogue of other known problems! So now I don't know what car I want, or even when I will find something I like!?!?
Moving on. Other than the above I've been suffering with really awful migraines, including sickness and really bad optical issues! Meaning time off work :( sick and not being able to do much else!
I have been shopping tho, lots of :) really have spoilt myself the past few days, took a trip to biscester village, the designer outlet :) although I didn't purchase much I had a lovely walk round at my leisure, I did manage to bag me a new Ralph jumper, for those chilly mornings :o)
I also visited Oxford street, me and my friend on Friday (half day from work) the sun was lovely, primark was emptier than normal, was so nice walking round and chatting, laughing the afternoon away. I also visited Victoria Secrets, I have to say I am a little bit addicted to that shop! I confess I actually spent more that I wanted but I managed to treat myself loads.
Was so funny, there was loads of men stood outside looking list whilst their other halves were shopping inside hehe, my purchases for the day were
After such a lovely day, I realised we had a long weekend ahead if us, such a nice feeling. I spent the weekend ruthlessly cleaning, sorting out, washing and ironing! The whole house needed a freshen up! I had loads to do and to be honest took most of the weekend! 6 black bags of old clothes thrown out, decluttering completed and to be honest a massive achievement! Super pleased at how nice it looks!
My finished wardrobe and my entertainment section.
Not all of it is in there, still have lots that needed freshening up and putting away but really love the way it's all tidy and sorted out :) have to give myself a clap :) however me and the other half have made a pact, we are not allowed to buy anything we don't need. We will stop buying the crap on valentines day, Mother's Day and Father's Day, you all know the stuff I'm talking about. The dust collecting stuff u like but never use.
So all in all majorly busy and have missed out on all the sunshine this weekend. But I have managed to do all I wanted and have planned for weeks and weeks.
I'm hoping as I've done all I needed to now, I should have much more time on my hands to blog! :)
