I've had the weekend from hell with working Saturday and Sunday and now we're back into another week of work again!  You don't realise how precious those two days off are until you don't have them.  I do realise I'm spoilt having the weekend off when loads of people have to work but I really missed seeing Paul and Aimee. 

Paul took Aimee camping for the night as I was working late on Saturday night and starting early on Sunday morning.  I'm not a fan of camping but Aimee had a ball.  I have tried it but sleeping in a small tent, on the ground just doesn't appeal to me.  What do you think of camping?  Are you a fan?

Below are more pics of my anniversary weekend away.  I got this dress for my birthday last year and my mum is horrified by the ruffles but I love it. Thanks again to Paul for his patience while taking photos for me.  I tried very hard not to be too fussy...I hope it came across that way! lol

A Week in Words

Sorry for the lack of posts this week but I've had the nicest week off work and I can't believe its over already!

Monday - lazy lie on and a play day at home for me and Aimee before a BBQ at Paul's mum and dads.  Paul and Aimee went to the 11th night bonfires but I was too tired so I snuck off to bed.

Tuesday - Paul and Aimee went to watch the bands play while I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. We had all our friends over for the rest of the day for another BBQ and plenty of banter.

Wednesday - me, Vicki and Lyanne hit the outlet for some shopping before lunch at Pizza Hut and then the cinema to see Bridesmaids.  Paul's parents came to ours for tea.

Thursday - spent a lovely day out with Aimee and my sister, Debbie, running errands and having a good rummage round Lakeland.

Friday - Aimee and I had a girly day together painting nails and shopping.  We got her a school bag and she looks so cute with it on as its huge.

Saturday - we had a family day out to Tollymore Forest with a fun walk round the forest in the rain before a picnic in the car.  Aimee had a ball splashing in puddles and getting soaking wet.  We spent the rest of the day in Newcastle before an early night as we were exhausted. 

Sunday - the weather is awful so we are going to have a quiet day in before getting a takeaway with Debbie and Conor.

I haven't even been near my laptop all week so I can't wait to see what you've all been up to.  Here are a couple of pics of some of the goodies I got this week.

The owl necklace and flower hair clip were a bargin £1 each in the New Look sale and the Oasis dress was just £10!  I am saving the picture of Aimee with her school bag until she is all dressed up in her uniform....can't believe it has come around so quick.

I'm finally putting up the pics of the second dress I purchased at the sample sale before my holiday. I kept forgetting to get photos when I was wearing it but here they are.  As you will see I'm wearing my trusty black cardigan again but I thought I'd try a belt over the top of it to change it up a bit.  Mario, Vicki's cat, decided he was very photogenic so there were plenty of laughs taking these photos, and plenty of cuddles too.

Can you spot Mario?

I think this dress is my favourite. I love the layered skirt and although it's short the long sleeves balance it out.  What are your favourite items of clothing?
