It's been quite nice having a bit of time away from the old blog but I have missed it, so now I'm back! (You can all stop cheering now! :-P)

Hope y'all had a good weekend? We went to a Eurovision Party & got very merry following the Eurovision Bingo Drinking Game! Yoink! We even voted for Greece - that's how into it we got! They really should have won! Roll on next year!

#BEDM Block

When I started the Blog Every Day challenge I was all excited at the fact I'd have little topics to write about everyday. But instead of inspiring me to blog more, it did the complete opposite & made me not want to blog at all. Who knew I didn't like being told what to do? (Don't answer that ma&pa!)!
So instead of blogging every day I'm having a little break. I've got lots of lovely things to blog about but instead of writing for the hell of it I'm going to sit back, relax & blog when I want!

#BEDM - Day 10 - Travel Dreams

This post would go on & on if I started to list everywhere I dreamed of visiting (it would even include the moon - no joke!). Instead I'll focus on one dream that I've had for quite a while that by the end of this year will have finally come true. I'm talking about visiting JAPAN! Whoop!

We finally figured out money & now that Adam & I both have new jobs, it'll make the trip more fun & we won't have to budget all our meals by taking packs of Monster Munch with us! We're both really excited & can't wait for our 8night stay in a country we've both always wanted to visit. Yay!

Now the next challenge after Japan is to get Adam to India.....I'm still working on that one!

BEDM - Day 9 - Fave Social Network

Not really got much to say on this one (partly cos I'm suffering from man-flu *groan*) but I'd say my favourite form of social media is Blogging.
~ Facebook's a bit dull now
~ Twitter's just there for when I'm bored
~ Pinterest I've never really got the hang of or the point of.

So there you go. Thrilling! :P

#BEDM - Day 8 - First Job

My first job was a bit different to say the least. I was a Grave Stone designer!

It was part of my work experience at school & while everyone else was stacking shelves or working at a desk I was designing images to go on real grave stones. I was a bit scared at first cos its a big responsibility & you don't want to get it wrong! I soon got into the swing of things though & I had a great time. 

By the end of my week I had designed 3 different headstones - one with chess pieces, another with a helicopter (both that had to be gold leafed by yours truly also) & the last one was a painting of an angel that was sand-blasted first then I had to hand paint all the details.

It was a great experience & the guys I worked with were lovely. Even though I only spent a week there I always think of it & smile when people talk about their first jobs!

#BEDM - Day 7 - Pets

Anyone who knows me will know what this post will be about....PUGS!

I love their so ugly they're cute faces & we (yes we, I've managed to convert Adam too!) can't wait to welcome on into our little home eventually, closely followed by a French Bulldog & maybe even a Sausage Dog one day!
In the past I've had 2 gerbil's called Filli & Killi (after the Hobbit!) & grew up around an epileptic dog called Smee! Pet's are brill & there' nothing better than coming home to a little creature that looks up to you! Me, insecure?! Nah! :P

#BEDM - Day 6 - Bank Holiday

Long weekend! Woop! & for once we've got good weather! Win win!

We're planning on popping into London, grabbing a packed lunch from somewhere & sitting in a park enjoying a day away from computers & relaxing in the sunshine (hence I'm writing this the night before). In reality though we (well I) will probably end up waking up late, we'll faff for ages, think about going out then end up staying in our PJs all day! Either way it'll be a day off with Adam & whatever we end up doing will be perfick! :)

#BEDM - Day 4 - Five Fave Blogs

Although I follow quite a lot of blogs through Bloglovin there are definitely 5 that I look forward to reading & they are:

*drum roll please*

~ THIN ICE - Slink's been a really good friend sine Freshers Week at uni. She helped me to see that there is a whole wide world of music outside of Steps & Blue(!) & she (as well as Art & Niall) helped me to grow up quite a lot. She also introduced me to blogging when I was in India (so you've got her to thank for all these posts now :P) & made our fab cake topper for the wedding. Miss Slink, you rawk!

~ SUZY KRAUSE + THE SKYSCRAPERS - I managed to find Suzy through another blog & I love her updates & quirky views on life. I also love the fact that whenever I read her blog I say her name wrong in my head & I've only just noticed! I've always call her Suzy Karoozy cos it rhymes!

~ LITTLE BLOG OF HORRORS - not only is her blog name inspired by one of my favourite films/shows of all time but Ayden is a pretty cool cucumber too! She has great style, lovely tattoos & an interesting job, what's not to like?!

~ DISTRACT ME NOW PLEASE - I first discovered Liz's blog on Christmas morning when I opened my fab Blogger Secret Santa pressie & we've been stalking *ahem* reading each others blogs ever since!

~ THE DAINTY SQUID - What's more to say than look at her hair!! AWESOME! Kaylah has a fab look & her collections are brill!

So that's me & my top 5 people I like to stalk on a daily basis!

#BEDM - Day 5 - Fit & Healthy



This probably isn't the best heading for me! I always have the best intentions but they never seem to happen. I'm hoping in the next month or so I'll be able to join a gym down the road from work. I really enjoy going once I've joined but the problem was always finding the pennies to go.

I've also missed dancing so I'm hoping to get back to that soon. Fingers crossed!

So all in all this is my fitness routine! I have great ideas but they never happen, hopefully in the next few months this'll change & I'll be fit as a fiddle in no time!

#BEDM - Day 3 (belated!) - Day In The Life

Here was my Friday (bit delayed I know but the pub lasted longer than expected - nothing new there then!):
*getting ready for work  *my tidy-ish desk  *desk getting messier  *drive home from work - why is there always traffic when you need to get somewhere (I was stationary at this time & not just taking photos while driving!)  *from now on there should have been photos of me getting more & more excited seeing Blue but I decided to sell both tickets seeing as no one would go with me! :S So I had to pass over my tickets at the venue to a really sweet German girl who really appreciated them & had a great time (according to a lovely tweet this morning!)  *drinks in a pub garden/carpark  *the setting sun, I'd almost forgotten what it looked like!  *heading home ready for a long weekend! Woop!

Enjoy your long weekends folks!
