A special day...

Today was Mothers Day in the UK and to celebrate myself and Miss Twin took the parents out for Sunday dinner. It was such a nice meal and the place was great. It was about 25 minutes away but you felt like you were in another place completely. The surrounding area was all green, with fields and trees. It was one of those places where you just instantly feel relaxed and happy.

The surrounding area...

Walkway to pub...how pretty!

Today was the first time I have ever had the want to live in a little village when I'm older with kids etc etc. I'm normally like, "Ooo I want to live near a city for the hustle and bustle." Maybe Im just tired of rush at the moment I don't know, or maybe I should take up walking when I'm older then I can go to the places but still live near a city? Hmm that seems unlikely. Wanders yes, walking/hiking no!

Hope you have all had a lovely Sunday!!

Sundays...

I love Sundays. As much as I shouldn't as it's the day before work starts again, I can't help but look upon it with fondness. I love to have my lie in, late breakfast and a laze around. Generally, it's a day of work for me as I have my Saturday off. Today I am catching up on marking, resources etc. While doing all that 'fun' stuff I have on in the background, one of my favourite trashy shows: Jerseylicious. 

If you haven't seen this show then you are missing out. It's based in Jersey in NYC and follows the 'life' of those who work in the salon. It's like Jersey Shore without all the sex and alcohol. Just subsitute the boardwalk for a salon. It's a guilty pleasure of mine but is definitly a great backdrop for my lazy Sunday afternoons :-)

What's you favourite lazy Sunday afternoon guilty pleasure?

DIY...

I can't describe how glad I am for it being Friday night!! I hate that I have wished away this week but I have felt so crappy that I just wanted to have Friday night come soon and now it has! Yey! Since I've had a nasty headache hanging around for 4 days... yes 4 days... I planned in a night all to myself!

On the way home I stopped off at shops for Sprite for my Raspberry Vodka (Oh yea!!) and chocolate. I've indulged in a lovely bubble bath and face mask. Now it's time for nails - I may even paint my toenails which I never do unless it's summer. It's a period break on the hockey so I'm settling down for more live hockey (Thank you HDMI cable xoxo), alcohol and chocolate. Completely DIY pamper but oh so needed! I feel like I'm literally carrying all my work on my back but hopefully after a very selfish and indulgent night of doing nothing I will feel better.

My pamper kit...Can't recommend Molton Brown bubble bath enough.
