A Day in my Life - 05.08.2015

I often think about doing a day in the life post but always think that it won't be interesting and it's not worth writing about, but I thought I'd do one this week as I've had a relatively productive day... although they are not massive tasks, I got done what I needed to and that's always good.

First things first, I went for my run as part of the Couch to 5K programme. I am on week 2 after successfully completing week 1 wahooooooo! So this means the time you run for has slightly increased which makes it more difficult, but I managed it. The overall aim is to work your way up to running 5K comfortably and I'm determined to complete it, it goes on for 9 weeks I believe, providing I keep up with it I should be a little bit fitter for my holiday.

After my run I went into town with my Sister and met my boyfriend too as he was already there, and we all had lunch together at a Wetherspoons. I tried to go for something big as we didn't have much in for dinner, so needed something to fill me up and it's worked, still not that hungry and I last ate about 6 hours ago. The actual reason for going into town was to get my dads birthday present as it's his birthday tomorrow and we'd only got cards so far.. and we still were not very successful - sorry Dad! Hopefully you enjoy your meal and aren't too down about the lack of presents your 'extremely thoughtful' daughters have got you...

Once I got in from town, I sorted through all of my emails- they just mount up so quickly! I feel much better now that they are all cleared and my inbox says 0.

One very important email I received was from GoThinkBig and it was giving me the opportunity to apply for work experience at a well known magazine which is something I've been looking for,for so long, so I was really happy about that and spent ages on my application so am keeping everything crossed than I get accepted for it. Wish me luck!

Just thought I'd try something different today, I hope you don't mind,

ZSL London Zoo & Westfields

On Monday just gone, my boyfriend James and I went to London Zoo with our friends Sarah and Chris.

We have all been wanting to go to London together for a while whether it be just seeing the sights or just going shopping.

We decided to go to the Zoo, three out of the four of us had not been before, so that was nice.

We arrived at about 12,so there was plenty of time to explore. James is quite the Zoo fan and if he hadn't have been with us he would have been in and around in about 2-3 hours, but we dragged it out good and proper and were still there when it was about to close. There was no need to look at the map really or read the signs as James knew exactly where to go and what everything was called (geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek). Although, it was helpful as it meant not just walking around and around and getting bored or lost and missing out on certain areas.

It turns out that Chris is quite the sign reader so quite often we left him to it and went off to look at something else haha.

As Zoo's go,it is a good one and much to my boyfriends delight,I would go back again as a couple of areas we wanted to look at were closed.

I've been trying to think of what my favourite part was but I can't choose.

After we eventually left the Zoo, we travelled to Westfields for some dinner and ironically ate at a place called Giraffe, and was it was very tasty.

It was a long but enjoyable day spent with good company before my boyfriend ditched us all for Australia for a few weeks, alright for some ;)

What I've been up to...

Hello friends,how are we?

It's now June...just stop for a minute and let that sink in...halfway through the year already! Wowzerrrrrrs. Time has absolutely flown by.

My last post was in February,which was pretty much the start of the year so bit by bit I'm going to fill you in with what I've been up to over the last few months.

At the end of 2014, I looked back on the year and I felt that I hadn't really done much or been to many places and had nothing to tell anyone about. So I was out to make 2015 much better and so far it has been just that. I hope to for it to continue and that I have a well fulfilled year.

My trip to Brighton...

At the start of March my boyfriend and I decided to go to Brighton for a few days. After speaking about it a few times we finally decided to book train and hotel tickets. They were very cheap which was great and after arriving I found it was relatively easy to get to, my boyfriend would clarify that I'm rubbish at getting to pretty much anywhere, but even I didn't find it all that confusing.

We were both quite excited as it was our first trip away together :)

It didn't take too long to get there and we'd already booked a restaurant for the evening,so we had a few hours to chill out before we went for dinner. We dumped our bags in the hotel room and went for a walk along the pier and took some typical touristy photos. Haha.

We then went back to room for a bit,which had THE smallest bathroom that we could just about both fit in,which as quite funny. For our meal we went to a place called Smokeys and we really enjoyed it, it was an American barbecue type place. I would like to go there again.

The next day was our full day,so we had more time to have a look around. We took another walk along the pier,just because we could and then when we went off to have a look through The Lanes, which is loads of little lanes and alleyways full of shops and cafes. So went to have a look and do some shopping and being a chocolate lover of course had to stop off at Choccywoccydoodah....mmmmm. Best Hot Chocolate I have ever had. A bold statement, I know.

If I was going to go again I would like to go for a bit longer so we could fit more things in as we weren't there for very long so didn't get to do that much and the weather was quite miserable,but that aside we both had really good time and want to go back at some point.
