The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week


The Good

I throughly enjoyed my first Jukari session, and I hope to go again in February :-)

I love Glee! Definite new TV obsession

Absolutely love the Pussycat London collection at New Look that I blogged already about here

Spurs boy bought us a breadmaker, I had mentioned on twitter about wanting one and I seemed to get very mixed views on whether getting one was a good idea. But Spurs boy likes gadgets and so he bought one. I love it! I made banana bread today and it really helped with getting rid of my hangover :-) I have been asked to make chocolate banana bread, anyone tried it?

I completed my first Tesco online food shop and it will arrive this week :-)

Driving is no longer a scary thing, I have now driven on the M25 in rush hour. I think I can now say driving fear over! :-)

Went to an engagement party of people Spurs boy and I used to work with and they asked me to be Chief Bridesmaid and Spurs boy to be Best Man. We both feel very honoured and I am incredibly excited. I won tickets to The National Wedding Show this week from This Little Lady Went To London and these will be put to good use now.

Good news on the football front that Owen Hargreaves should be back playing again really soon, Oh how we have missed you! It was his birthday this week too Happy Birthday Owen!

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before but I love this idea of pubs having board games available to play. Spurs boy and I went to the pub for food today and we ended up staying and playing scrabble with our friends. I love it and we plan to do it again soon!

The Bad

I still haven't got used to it being 2010, I keep writing 2009!

Both myself and Spurs boy had football sulks regarding our teams and even though we had them we seemed to cope really well with them. I think the main rule is to avoid the one having the football sulk until it's over!

After finding my filofax I need to get a bigger one, I have too much to write down and can't get my handwriting much smaller! Not really a bad thing as I need to do some shopping :-)

My next weekend free is March 13th! Busy times but again this isn't necessarily bad as I guess it keeps me out of trouble!

The Ugly

I dropped my iPhone this week and for a scary 30 minutes or so I couldn't get it to work. I am now pleased to say that it does now work, I think it just wanted to make me feel guilty for dropping it! And I did :-(

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week



The Good

I have been doing a lot more driving this week and confidence is up! Even better now that the snow has gone :-)

Also good news that the snow has gone as can now wear 'normal' shoes and was pleased to be back in my heels at the end of the week.

This week I started reviewing products for DynaGirl and this week it was Laidbare Sunflower Handcream which was absolutely gorgeous! DynaGirl is the first person I've ever met off twitter (so far) and she is fab! Check out her store for more reasons to spend spend spend or better still, get the hints out ready for your man for Valentine's Day gifts!

Spurs Boy has been out of the country this weekend and isn't back till Tuesday :-( but have been able to have uber catch up time with my best mate which has been amazing! We went yesterday to see Up In The Air with George Clooney (swoon!) Vera Farminga, Anna Kendrick and Jason Bateman. It is such an amazing film with such a great quote that I now probably will use a lot "Everyone needs a co-pilot" and I still can't find anything I didn't like about the film (and that's quite impressive for me). Check out the trailer here

I saw the trailer for The Good Wife soon to be on Channel 4 and I'm already hooked. I loved Julianna Marguiles in ER and of course Chris Noth in Sex and the City and Law and Order so this programme already had me intrigued. Check out this behind the scenes footage trailer here

Flat update - moving stuff over into Spurs Boy's place for now until we work out what we're going to do. He said I can bring in "girlie" touches, I'm not into that kind of thing so we'll see. Will be looking for some furniture help though so will probably post up choices on here

This week me and my best mate have been asked to attend a Jukari course in London (JUKARI = REEBOK + CIRQUE DU SOLEIL = JUKARI Fit to Fly). I am really excited as we have the session in the morning, then lunch and then an afternoon of spa pampering treatments. 

Loving playing Words With Friends on the iPhone, had it ages but recently more people seem to have it. It's a free app that is like scrabble, if you want a game my username is - blissbubbley on there too.  

The Bad

I'd got addicted to Airline Conquerer USA on my iPhone and there was a new update and now it's just too complicated and my highest score was over 800 and now I'm lucky to get to 100. Frustrated me loads this week!

I don't like invoicing - but I need to do it to get paid!

The Ugly

Weather reports say heavy snow may return this week - Nooooooooo! I don't mind the snow but this country comes to a standstill when it snows. Although it does sure look pretty to look at and play in!

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week



The Good

Spending time with family

Finished reading Eternal

It was weird to be away from Spurs Boy for nearly two weeks but neither of us are that needy and whingy (I've always seemed to get with men who were needy and I don't like it). It's nice to finally be in a grown up relationship!

Also was nice though to see how much he had missed me; we made dinner together and then we went out and saw Avatar - recommend you all see it!

I finally drove all by myself! I passed my test last year and then didn't drive for well months and then when I did get in a car I had completely lost my confidence. Got it back though now and it was on snowy roads so even more proud of myself! And I even went out for errands too! Going to do a lot more driving this week :-)

I've never said "Well Done" to one of my friends for getting his dream job, he truly deserves it and I'm really proud of him!

Starting to look for a place to live with Spurs Boy, he's a property developer and the new idea is to design the perfect place. Sounds a bit adventurous to me but secretly I'm really excited about the idea...shh!

I know it's wrong but this is my favourite advert at the moment. I know it's dead cheesy and makes you want to run for your sick bucket but it makes me smile every time I see it. It could just be that you see Jamie's naked chest (Swoon!), yes you know the one The Thomas Cook advert featuring the Redknapp's.

The Bad

I haven't blogged as much as I wanted to! Will make amends again this week (Or will try)

Manchester United (again) playing like utter s***! Sick of it!

The Ugly

My tickly cough has now gone back into a full blown cold - sneeze-a-rama!
