Surprise Parcels :)

I got TWO lovely parcels this week, which was such a nice surprise. One was from my moma, and one from my friend Jess who's just got back from America. I'm also gona tag on a present that my friend Rosi got me from her travels around the UK and some of Europ

(I got too excited and ripped it open as soon as I saw it)

It was such a comprehensive package! I am a lucky girl.

Strawberry hand wash, taffy and my first Essie nail varnish!! So spoiled!! 

and from Rosi I got some kind of chocolates (shaped like flowers) from Italy

and Whisky from Ireland! 

Weekly Roundup #32

I have had a busy week returning to uni; a quiet evening on duty, Canadian friends for dinner, meal with Theana and Harriet, a cheeky niece, sending Michael packages, hand washing clothes, tea and lunch with Eley and Harriet, drinks with Bex from undergrad and an eventful Friday night with Kate in A&E. Saturday I went on a day trip that I shall probably save to share tomorrow :)

dinner with the Canadian (we had beef au jus - so so so good)

This was one of the game we played during lunch with a couple of friends

Haz and I bossed this game (Michael Palin's around the world - who even knows.)

Michael's latest package, it had some good activities!

Had a bit of an accident and needed to hand wash a couple of items 

(my first experience of this, went quite well I reckon!)

Kate, the trooper, in A&E

our treat for an awful afternoon 

(she exited a job interview, fell down the stairs, and got taken to A&E, I rushed out of a lecture/work, met her at A&E and single handedly carried her home. Okay that didn't happen, but I did call her taxi)

Eventful week! and then a bit later on I am off to Theana's to watch Harry Potter. Also, fingers crossed, Michael might be able to call, yippeeee! xx

Weekly Roundup #25

As I'm sat here, eating peanut butter (for breakfast even though it's now 12..), watching Sunday brunch and dreading more reading for my literature review, I've thought back over my week and considered it to be quite the good'un. Most days were used for reading and writing, but I've also been to a taster pole-dancing session which was a work out and a half, helped a friend with their dissertation study, met Leo for a cuppa, had two lovely meals cooked for me by two different friends, Kate and Rosi, caught up with Theana over tea, almost perfected how to do my liquid eyeliner, started preparing Michael's care packages for Afghan (best fun!), got some more raffle prizes from Lush and ended last night at a shisha bar trying to blow o's. I officially suck at that last bit.

 

the most annoying part of living with people to the left - JUST CHANGE IT.

and doesn't that mouthwash look like it'd taste like bubblegum? I want to drink it.

I love instagram's dreamy blur effect. so good.

 

the last of my Yogi green tea's was a good'un - we always can start again.

and right is the matching-ness of my eyeliner for once! Odd photo though aha. 

how does poundland always do that? I realllllllllly wanted to buy one of these, but they're tiny. 

and wouldn't fit anything in. But I sure did/do want one.

 

a burger in the union, how I want to try and eat that bad boy!

right is the prize lush donated to our raffle - worth £25!

a spaghetti dinner and a whole packet of pistachios

Michael's boxes!

mm last nights lasagne, made by a boy from Germany, best lasagne ever!

How was your week? did you get up to much? I'd love to know :) 

Oh also, it's my friend Tom's birthday today and he's just discovered my blog so I think he'd appreciate a little shout out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM YOU OLD MAN.
