The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

Another week over and the sunshine has arrived. Please stay Mr Sunshine! Hope everyone is well. How was your week?

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

Happy Easter all I hope you have all had a lovely long break, if you have been unfortunate enough to have been working I hope you are on at least double pay. I used to work in retail and now love my weekends even more than I ever thought possible!

It seems funny to be sitting writing this as I gaze out of the window and I can see the sea. Spurs boy and I have taken Little man and my brother to Cornwall for the Easter break and we have had a lovely time. What have you all done? Too many easter eggs?

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

A good week with some very big highs and some lows courtesy of a broken boiler :-(. How are you all?

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

Apologies for being a tad late at getting this done, seems the time is just passing me by recently. So how was your week?

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

So this week seems to have been a bit busy, how has it been for you? Got everything done that you wanted to?

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

Here's how my week has been this week, how was yours? Hope you've all been enjoying the sunshine

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

Getting more followers to my blog :-) You can also become a fan of this blog on facebook

Manchester United winning the Carling Cup Final

Although I'm missing Spurs boy I like seeing more of Bestie again in his absence. More ice cream scoffing :-)

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

I'm loving all the goodie bag action you get from going to events! Party bags definitely are not just for kids :-))

Loved my Valentines getaway weekend with Spurs boy, making cocktails was a lot of fun although learning the tricks and juggling was a little messy!

We saw Invictus and it was awesome

Booked tickets to see Legally Blonde with Bestie and Future Bride

Manchester United beating AC Milan 3-2 at the San Siro :-) Good times.

I loved iRock4Haiti although not sure I was happy at being called Z-list...

My favourite Brits performances were Kasabian and Dizzee and Florence :-) Also Peter Kay was genius!

BBC's Just Dance for Sport Relief is also pure genius and I would love Rufus Hound to win for his version of Cheryl Cole's Fight for this love. This was only the first week though and Katy Brand was also fantastic (which I will blog about later on). I think the final could be tight this year

Loved coming home to find these Reebok trainers waiting for me :-)

Winning prizes on twitter is like a hobby for me...pure escapism and I did well again this week

Apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't didn't like coffee. You see what's happened? I like coffee. I really didn't though

Had lots of fun at the National Wedding Show and today's London Fashion Week event (will blog about them both later this week)

Damages Season 3 comes to BBC this week :-) and True Blood Season 2 on FX

Weird find this week - A footballer with an IQ of 150? Surely not...and definitely not him. Oh really? Frank Lampard!!!

The Bad

Spurs boy is away from the end of the week and won't be back for A WHOLE WEEK! :-(

Realising the reason that the Sky+ isn't recording is that it's full!

My leg is sore after physio but need to keep going.

Manchester United losing 3-1 away at Everton. Not impressed!

The Ugly

Being short 5 "3 actually if I want to wear a dress it can be difficult to find a long one to fit me that doesn't drown me. And yes I said dress! This is proving to be a problem for my bridesmaid dress as was evident this weekend but I did manage to find ONE dress that didn't drown me for the iRock4Haiti event from Jane Norman here

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

Spurs boy surprising me with tickets to see Arsenal v Manchester United, although it's his birthday weekend! Was fantastic especially as United won 3-1 and I do like to be proved wrong as for months I have been absolutely shouting and hurling general abuse in the direction of Nani and now it seems he's turned a corner. Fantastic! Also Rooney scored his 100th premiership goal and I screamed when he scored so much that I lost my voice. A great week for my boys at United :-))

Watched Bride Wars the other day and was pleasantly surprised to see Bryan Greenburg was in it :-)

I won a fantastic bag from Funky Diva Designs this week and will be featuring more of the bags in my 'Sarah Loves...' post this week

Did everyone watch Celebrity Big Brother? To be honest I didn't really watch a lot but I had to watch it when Davina went in, how excited was she? Haha bless her although they were pretty mean to her. I thought her little chick noises were so cute! 

My first Tesco online food order arrived, not quite on time but enough to make me worry that I hadn't ordered it!

Not sure why I have only just realised but I bought Rock Band for the iPhone which is my new favourite game to play! Beatles Rock Band for the Wii also going well, now on medium.

I now have got my top score up to 254 on Airline Conquerer USA, still not as high as before the updates. But ho hum!

Had my first proper wage for a while and it felt oh so good! Haven't had time to do any shopping yet but I will be :-). Obviously have bought presents for Spurs boy's birthday all sorted and gotta stay quiet about what he's got (his birthday is February 1st). Also having money again meant I could treat Spurs boy to a meal out and he hates surprises and to be honest I did wind him up about it, but it's nice to have a bit of power every now and again right?

The Bad

I want an iPad but would like them to change the name so that it doesn't sound like a make of sanitary towels. Mega fail! :-((

Not bad for me but a certain Chelsea and England defender John Terry  has taken over the headlines over the weekend. Naughty boy it seems and what a great big hot mess he seems to be in! (This would probably be in the ugly section but it didn't happen to me so felt it was just the bad)

The Ugly

I went to the Spurs match at White Hart Lane against Fulham with Spurs boy (this is not the ugly part) but on the way to the stadium my iPhone died, I had at least half a battery left! Then I had to call Spurs boy from a public telephone (haven't used one in ages - lol) so I knew where to meet him. I felt lost without my phone and if I'm honest I felt a bit vulnerable to be in London without a working phone! 

Good thing is I now have a brand new replacement iPhone and it's all shiny and new. Remember to back up your iPhone peeps, I always try to every couple of days but will start to try to get into a better routine.

Saturday was a terrible day - we had a phonecall to say that Spurs boy's Mum had a car accident, nothing serious but at the time we were both concerned until we had seen her. Then when we came back home we were in the middle of a powercut and our washing machine was stopped mid cycle and has now broken :-( Spurs boy has said he should be able to fix it though :-)

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!

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

Seeing family that I haven't seen for years over the holiday season.

Will be starting to look for a new place this year - very exciting stuff.

New job seems to be working well, although not really overly sure of what I'm doing just yet.

How gorgeous are these Alice in Wonderland brooches and whilst on the site check out the other Alice in Wonderland items and the Wizard of Oz ones too

Practising Beatles Rock Band :-))

The Bad

I've fallen behind with scheduled posts and will put up a 'Sarah Loves...' post next week (I have slapped my wrists)

I like snow but I had enough of it when I was back home and now I'm visiting family up north it has snowed more. Probably had a full month of snow now - sick of it really. Keeps me indoors and that means I eat more :(

Need to get myself self motivated to do sit ups starting next week!

The Ugly

Have not done any revision yet for exams coming up, although I seem to actually know a lot of the stuff so hopefully I should be okay.

The Good The Bad and The Ugly of my week

 

The Good

Obviously Spurs Boy is a major good point of the week! :-)

I have never felt so full of food and drink since...well probably last Christmas! Another bit of cake anyone?

I got another follower on my blog this week :) Again thank you all!

I thought the BBC did a fantastic job on Christmas Day for the Royle Family, Gavin & Stacey and then the Catherine Tate show; shown one after the other. Fantastic! I laughed so much!

I'm still however unprepared to see David Tennant leave Doctor Who but thought Hamlet was superb and recommend you all catch it on the BBC iplayer (not sure about his appearance on Catherine Tate though, was funny but a bit weird)

I have been sorting out new work opportunities and the New Year seems exciting and yet busy but this doesn't mean my blogging will stop - Oh no! I'll still be here!

My best friend and I did a silly girlie best friends quiz from an old magazine (old as in 2006'ish) and at the end it had a description of what kind of person you were. Both descriptions were very accurate; mine described me as; Quick witted,Wacky sense of humour, Impatient, Friend for Life, Secretly romantic. At first I did not think mine was accurate (as we all tend to do when someone says what we are like) but my friend quickly told me that it was indeed true and I was the same with her description given. I think they are good qualities, well maybe except the impatient part - but that's what make me, me!

Any Sex & The City fans reading this? Well look what I found this week - the trailer for the new movie  

This week also saw the ending of a few of my favourite TV programmes - Spooks ended and it ended in a way that we still don't know what happened! Was anyone else left screaming to know if they had got out? Argh! One Tree Hill ended and this saw characters Lucas and Peyton driving off into the sunset with their daughter Sawyer so farewell as they are not in the next series. Gossip Girl also ended and cannot wait to see the next Series also. Has anyone read the Gossip Girl books? Any good?

The Hollyoaks flashback episode was as good as I had thought it would be!

I have got addicted AGAIN to The Settlers game on my iPhone.

My local football team has been saved from administration :-)

Manchester United winning again, although I was unimpressed by performance. MUST play better!

Did I mention Spurs Boy? ;-)

How long is my good list this week! Wow 

The Bad

I didn't like it when the snow then melted :-(

Hangovers!?! Had a fuzzy head the past few mornings...

Hate January Sales... the adverts (although I like the Roy Orbison "You Got It" Dreams advert) and I hate messy sale shops...urgh...internet shopping for me until February!

The Ugly

I made a new database project for my work and for some reason it didn't save, had to re-do it all. Thus putting me in a foul mood and cursing everything in sight!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

Still loving having a chocolate each day from my advent calendar! Although realising this soon stops :( WEEK TODAY AND IT'S CHRISTMAS! :)
I like the fact that Rage Against The Machine might make No 1 for Christmas over X-Factor

I have won more prizes this week on twitter and I even won £20 on Magic!

Had another lovely follower of my blog this week - love you all!

I'm loving all the festiveness (is that a word?) and glad I finished all my shopping weeks ago

Feeling proud of myself as I definitely turned a corner this week - I deserve to be happy!

Realising there are a few job opportunities available but now can't decide what to pick?

Finding these new necklaces from Funky Junk Jewellery, Key and Beads Necklace and Cute Tourist Necklace 
Having a snow day! (but also see under the bad below)  

The Bad

Still got bruises! Pretty greens and yellows now

Feeling low in myself (this got sorted in my Good section above)
The snow causing the Christmas party for where I volunteer being cancelled but we're hoping to do a party in the New Year and this will possibly be a Valentine's Disco!   

The Ugly

My local football team heading into administration :-S

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

I'm liking the new John Mayer album - is that bad?  

Glad that Spotify have sorted out their problems and I still love it. Especially when I asked on twitter if they could put some Powderfinger on there and within 3 days they had done so and had even put the new album on!

Winning more prizes on twitter!

I like having a chocolate each day from my advent calendar

I've had 3 more followers to my blog this week (Thank you to all of my lovely followers)

The Bad 

Shovelling gravel for the repair work on the driveway for where I volunteer - my shoulder aches!

My bruises from last week are now still a rainbow of colours and this week I have added more so my legs looks oh so pretty :-(

The hangover from a Christmas party last weekend and the realisation from talking to others that I drunk at least 3 bottles of white wine - oopsie! I had a good time though and I can remember almost everything!

The Ugly

Yesterday where I volunteer it was one of those days where lots of things went wrong from 8-9.30 ish and we all knew it was going to be one of those days and it really was.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of my week

The Good

Powderfinger! Loving the new album and found Odyssey Number Five a great album to be able to write to

It's nearly Christmas - everyone got their advent calendars?

Realising I can do some DIY - I made a table!

Now a contributing writer on Happy Moments

Winning prizes on twitter, facebook and from blogs

The Bad

The cold and dark mornings!

Sliding around the mud/poo outside chicken huts!!! Although I laugh at everybody else doing the same

The Ugly

Falling over and smacking my knees on concrete (I have nice colourful bruises)
