You may have noticed I took a bit of an unexpected blogging break this week. It was totally unintentional but I have had such a hectic week. I have been off work this week so I have been off enjoying myself so I thought I would take a break and just enjoy my week.
So last weekend me and my bestie went off to Birmingham for a much needed girly weekend! This of course involved lots and lots of shopping and a bit of the old vino :)
Me and my bestie (who is also called Laura) on the right ready for a night out and on the right having a much needed Starbucks on the Sunday morning.
I picked up quite a bit while I was there, including quite a few of the bits on the wishlist I posted here. I am going to do a post while some of the things I picked up which may include a cheeky purchase from Mac.
On Wednesday I got back on to the train, this time with mum and headed up north to Manchester!
Here we are at the train station :)
I had booked me and mum tickets to see Wicked which is currently in Manchester on the first leg of its UK tour. I have seen the show in the west end on more than 1 occasion but mum has never seen before and I really wanted her to see it!
We did a spot of shopping prior to the show, I didnt pick up a lot, just a new filofax from Paperchase which I will probably do a post on how I organise it etc. I am also going to do a proper review of Wicked but it was absolutely AMAZING!!!!
Thursday I went to Slimming World and lost 3 and a half pounds which I was OVER the MOON about!!! This now takes me up to 3 stone 5 and a half!
Yesterday I hotfooted down the motorway on a coach with 16 of our own excited guides as well as 2 other coaches full of guides from our district and off to Wembley Arena we went!
Here is me at the crack of dawn yesterday morning with a couple of the other leaders and one of the older guides waiting for the coach to arrive.
Basically for those of you out there who not all up on girl guide info, every year twice a year there is a girl guide only concert organised for the guides across the UK. This is my second time going to the Big Gig - you may remember I went to Sheffield last year and did this post here
There were some good people on again this year, Little Mix were on again this year which I enjoyed because they certainly know how to get the arena rocking. We also saw Union J, Katy B, Dionne Bromfield, Charlie Owen, 5 Angels, Overload, Conor Maynard and Jahmane Douglas (who initially I wasnt that excited about seeing because I didnt like him on X Factor but I have to say I really changed my opinion of him yesterday!!!
Overall I have had an awesome week off! I has been nice to have a week to just relax, I dont feel like I have had a week off work for aggggggess (the last time I was off was for Florida and that wasnt exactly a relaxing holiday!)
Although a hectic week I have definiately enjoyed it and have had some fab days! :)
