I can't believe its the 1st of June tomorrow! How crazy is that!
I am currently sat chilled, feet up in a hotel in North Bristol watching the Britains got Talent Final which is a bit random but honestly theres an explanation! I mentioned in my last post about my course I am doing, you have to do some leadership workshops. The first one for my group was scheduled to be in Birmingham on Thursday but I had other more exciting plans for that day - thought I would pop over to Orlando :P
Anyway the workshops are mandatory and the only other date I could do was tomorrow and when working it out, it was actually cheaper for me to come down the day before and stay over so I did. I am actually glad I chose to do that as the journey was a little crazy and would have been incredibly rushed on a Monday morning.
I had a right palaver getting here. First I couldn't find platform 12 at Birmingham New Street because I had booked a train which meant I had to change. Basically I got off at Platform 1 on the complete opposite side of the station and the platforms don't run in order - there are 2 sides to them and platform 12 is round with 1-11a and b.
Then when I did find the train Virgin Cross Country decided in their ultimate wisdom to mix up the carriages which when your frantically looking on a busy platform is not good. I was looking for coach D which you would expect to be between C and E but apparently they felt it would be a good idea to go C, E then D...
Anyway I arrived. I have a lovely hotel room. Its weird though I've never stayed been anywhere like this on my own. I can defiantly recommend the Holiday Inn Express though.. Just look how fab this room is!
The workshop is actually at the Holiday Inn a mile down the road from here but they wanted £112 a room which didn't include breakfast or wifi!
This room cost me £60 and included free wifi (which actually is pretty amazing and not your usual hotel crappy wifi) and breakfast which for the sake of walking a mile up the road you can not fault!
I am looking forward to the workshop tomorrow, I am a little nervous because it is going to be all people who have all met each other in their previous tutorial but I am going to use this as a good opportunity for networking and meeting new people - I think sometimes it does us a bit of good to step outside of our comfort zone!
On another note, only 3 more days until our holiday begins!!! I am sooooo excited!

Oh hey!
Where on earth have April and now nearly May gone??? I can't believe that it is nearly June. But on a more positive note - 9 days until we go to Orlandoooooo!!!!
So what have the last 2 months been filled with??
We have been getting the house well and truly sorted. I can not believe that we have only been in this house for 2 months. I can't even begin to tell you how much happier we are! We have got the garden sorted and brought a BBQ (and it has practically rained every day since).
I've also officially started my uni course - if you havent seen on Twitter or Instagram - I'm studying a Post Graduate Certificate in Healthcare leadership through the NHS Leadership Acadamy. I have literally spent the whole of my bank holiday writing my first assignment which is due to the week I get back from Florida. I am glad it is finally out of the way! I did have visions of sitting doing it on the plane! Phewwww
We had a lovely weekend in Centre Parc's back at the end of April. It feels like a lifetime ago now but we had a fab few days and a very relaying spa day on the Monday which was just what I needed.
At the start of this month I finally booked an appointment to get my hair sorted!!! I have been thinking about it for agggges as my hair has been feeling tired and drab for a while and I had been looking for a new hairdresser because my other one is closing down. I plucked up the courage and booked an appointment and OMG i am Sooooooo happy with it! It has really perked my hair up for the summer and I am already booked in to go back and get it cut before I go away.
A few weeks ago I spent a very lovely but very wet weekend camping with my wonderful Guides. Despite the fact we got soaked and one of the other leaders wanted me to sleep in the bunks inside I did rough it in the mud with the girls in my very own little tent!
The next couple of weeks may get a bit sporadic. The good thing is that we are staying in a villa and we have free wifi so I should be able to keep you updated on my travels! However if anyone wants to do any guest posts while I am away let me know!
One thing I am sure you will be able to look forward to is American Beauty Haul when I get back! If you have anything to add to my wish list let me know! I defiantly want to get my hands on some Its a 10! again if I can as I LOVED that when I used it before!
See you soon lovelies.
