Hey lovelies!! Remember me!!! Finally I have a new house and INTERNET!!! Wooooo!!!
I have so much to catch you all up on! There has been a lot going on since I was last here.
I mentioned in my last post that me and Adam were moving house. Well we are in and have been in 2 weeks now and I can not tell you how happy I am! This house is so much better. Don't get me wrong the other house will always be our first home together but it just got to the point where we were so sick of the land lord messing us around. I suppose that is the trouble when your renting but the new house is so much better. It feels so much like home already! I am looking forward to lots of happy times.
I am also very very excited for the summer! I mean just look at our fab new garden!!! I can not wait for late night BBQ's!

Also as we now have 3 bedrooms, it meant we effectively had 2 spare room. We turned one of the spare rooms into a guest room but we also have a little box room which we decided to turn into my office / craft room. I was going to paint this wall but instead I decided to dress it up with some bunting mum got me from Wilko's at Christmas.
I love the furniture we picked up on a trip to Ikea! The desk was a total bargain at £22 (here) and these cube storage are part of the Kallax range and start at £20 for the white (here). As I add bits too it I will be sure to update you!
Last time I posted me and Adam were off to a fab weekend in London!
We had an absolutely fantastic weekend. We saw 2 shows - Phantom of the Opera on the Friday and Lion King on the Saturday both of which we AMAZING! We went to the film museum and saw the Bond exhibit (which Adam loved) and spent an afternoon browsing Regent and Oxford Street. It was a busy weekend but definitely the break we both needed. We were SO lucky with the weather too!
Next weekend we are off to Centre Parcs for the weekend with Adam's family - we have a day booked in the spa which I can not WAIT for - have a facial scheduled too! Also its only 8 weeks till we go to Florida! I am also starting a uni course in Heathcare Leadership and Management too this month which I am quite excited about! I will keep you updated on everything!
Hope your all well! What have you all been up to???

Hello lovelies! How are we all??
Just thought I would Bob on and do a quick hello while I am munching on my weetabix!
Have we all had a good week?
This week has flown by! I had a lovely weekend last weekend celebrating my birthday which of course you had to drag out for as long as you can! We went for a lovely meal with my mum and dad and Adams mum and dad - and of course Adam then on Sunday we went for a little trip to one of the local garden centres not far from us which is awesome and has a huge hobby craft, Lakeland and lots of other little shops. We had a lovely coffee and piece of cake and coffee and then in the evening we went round to mum and dads for tea where by brother and his fiancé also came round. It was a lovely way to spend my birthday!
This week has been a really busy one especially at work. Me and Adam have also started house hunting again. We have been in our house nearly a year now and the tenancy is due for renewal at the end of March but we have been discussing moving to somewhere perhaps a bit bigger or more homely. As nice as the house we are in is how, we are paying a lot of money for what we have. I am going to have a look at house tomorrow which I love and is perfect so fingers crossed.

Hello lovelies.
First of all I want to throw this out there and say this isn't a sponsored post. Any opinions here on this app have been formulated myself and I have built from using and loving the app myself.
What I want to talk to you about an app called My Supermarket.
You know when you go to the Supermarket and with some you get a voucher or you have to put your receipt number in to say if they have been cheaper. With the my supermarket app you cut that step out altogether. Rather than you finding out your cheapest supermarket after you have been and done your shopping, with the my supermarket app you find out which is the cheapest supermarket before you go.
When you open up the app it gives you the option of creating a new list. You then get the option of choosing a supermarket - I usually chose Asda as that is one of the ones we go to regularly apart from Aldi - which you can also choose.
Once you have selected your list, you then build your shopping list. You can either do this by typing the its you are looking for in the search box or it also breaks items down for you into categories such as fruit and veg, diary.

Once you have your list all together you can browse the list you have and it will give you a price of how much everything will cost at your chosen supermarket. It also gives you the option of comparing here.
Once you have hit the compare button it brings up how much your items would cost at the supermarkets it compares with. I always ignore Boots and Superdrug as I don't see the point in this unless your comparing health and beauty items (great if you want to see if the boys razors are on offer anywhere).
Another good thing about this app is it allows you to see offers - quite often if we need food for the kittens I will get it up on the app and see where the kitten food is on offer - you wouldn't believe the difference - some supermarkets it is £3.50 and others it is on offer for 2 for £5 so obviously we go where the offers are!
Have you ever used this app? Are you loving it?

Hello my lovelies! I am bacccccckkk!!!
Firstly I want to say thank you for sticking with me! I know there is nothing more annoying that a blogger who disappears for months. If you didn't see my last post about everything that was going on then check it out here
So anyway.. Im back from Ibiza which I will go more into in a sec and was absolutely fantastic and me and Adam have officially moved into our house! There are still a few things in boxes and we need a few more homely touches but its home :)
Ibiza was absolutely fantastic. It was such a lovely place. Ive been to Ibiza twice before to a different part of the island. This time we stayed in an area on the south side called Cala Llonga which is a really quiet little village with about 4 hotels, a few shops, a few bars.. its perfect.
I mean just look at that! Who can resist waking up to a view like that??? The fortnight was spent with lots of sunbathing, game playing, book reading... it was just what I needed.
I'll probably share some more photos and things I picked up (duty free anyone) soon but I just thought I would share that with you for now.
Tomorrow I am off to the 2nd Midlands Blogger Meet up - this time it is being held in Birmingham. I am really looking forward to meeting up with a lot of the bloggers that I met at the Nottingham event which I went to in February! I am really looking forward to kick starting blogging again by sharing my adventures with you! :P
Hope that you are all well. Leave me a comment and tell me what you have been up to :)

Hey lovelies!!! Remember me!
How is it even May this week! The last few months have been such a blur! I can't believe it has been nearly 2 months since I sat down, laptop on knee and chatted with you guys! I really have missed you and have so much to catch up with you! My life has taken some serious changes over the past 2 months!
So one of the last posts I posted was about finding unique presents on Etsy. You can read it here. As I said in that post my friend from Sheffield came to visit for the day and we went out. 2 weeks later after he came, he came down again. Now I am not going to lie, me and Adam have alway had quite a flirty relationship - we only actually met up twice since we initially met wayyyyyy back in 1999 - he came up for my 18th Birthday and I went up to Sheffield for the day last year. It had been 6 years then since I had actually seen him but we texted each other practically every day. Anyway when he came up in March, one thing led to another, we kissed and the rest as they say is history!
I can not even begin to tell you how bloody happy this boy has made me. Not to get all soppy on you guys but he really is amazing! The last 2 months I have been completely swept off my feet!
Anyway not only did this happen, around the same time we got together Adam (who lives in Sheffield and works in Barnsley/Meadowhall) was offered the possible chance of moving his job to Derby. We carried on dating, him driving down here most weekends either for the whole weekend or on a Sunday to spend the day, and left Derby at the back of our minds. Then it was all confirmed that it would be happening!!! Adam decided he wanted to move to Stoke if he would be working in Derby as it would be closer to commute from here and he wanted to be here. SO we looked for a house, starting renting a house and we move in officially this weekend!! Honestly everything has just fallen into place so fast but it all just feels so right! I have had a couple of bitchy comments from people - don't you think it is all happening too fast but as I keep saying to them - me and Adam have known each other for 15 years - its not like we just met. I don't think I have stopped smiling for the last 2 months!
One not very nice thing that happened at the end of March was that Dad was quite ill! He had a heart attack while at work (me mum and dad all work at the hospital) and it was pretty scary time! Gladly he is on the mend now and getting back to his old self!
So what else has happened... I got a new job!!! Its within the same department that I work in at the moment but doing something different - well kind of different - I was given the chance to do this job on a secondment basis and when the opportunity came up for me to do it full time and permanently I went for it and got it! :)
Can you believe that my holiday is just over a week away! It doesn't seem like 5 minutes ago since we booked it so in between moving boxes and spending the weekend with my boy, I have been buying new holiday clothes and packing too!
I can't promise that I am going to be able to blog over the next couple of weeks - what with moving this weekend and then i'll be away but once I am back from Ibiza at the end of May, I will have internet at our house and should be in a routine and be able to sit down and spend some time blogging again! I hopefully should be going to another blogger meet up at the end of May so that may be something to kick start my blogging up again. It is being organised by the lovely Emma and Kelly again but this time is in Birmingham.
I hope you are all well! I promise I will try and keep you updated over the next couple of weeks until I get on here properly again! Make sure you are following me on Twitter and Instagram to keep updated with my travels and adventures! Leave me comments with what you have been up to and what gossip I have missed!!!!
