The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.


The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Ok, I've finally got around to jumping on this bandwagon. This has been floating around blogland for a few days now, so I'm gonna hop on board. (Erin, you're a genius for starting this -- and you didn't even realize what you started!) 


The Good
1. I am a great listener.  Although I do like to Listen. I don't always give good advice back though. 
2. I am very Tech Savvy. My parents aren't and are always asking me to help them out! 
3. I stick to something once I put my mind to it. Like blogging. 
4. I am determined to lose another stone before my holiday in July. Currently going to slimming world and have almost got my stone award. Just need to push a little harder and It will come.
5. I have never taken drugs - Like Hard drugs. 
The Bad
1. I get paranoid easily. Of Kevin's ex-workmate.  I'm sure she fancies him. 
2. I'm crap with saving money. Seriously I need to save some.
3. I have smoked since meeting Kevin. I did smoke before meeting him but not as much. I was more of a social smoker. I know its a bad nasty habit, I really need to kick this bad habit. 
4. I drink far too much Diet Soda. If it didn't taste so damn good. Coca Cola/Pepsi Cola I blame you for getting me hooked . 
5. I am cheating on SlimmingWorld. I know I shouldn't but I am. At the moment I am taking Raspberry Ketones and they seem to be working. I've got 2.5Lbs to lose this week. 
The Ugly
1. I can go days without showering. It's gross, I know. But I seriously hate being wet and having wet hair.
(For the record, I'm generally an every-other-day showerer, but I hate it and it feels like work.)
2. I am extremely messy at home. There is a pile of clothes, bags etc at the foot of my bed. I have too much stuff. 
3. I can go a day without brushing my teeth. I know i should brush twice daily but seriously it's too much like hard work.
4. I have dry skin in between my toes. It's seriously bugging me. Nothing seems to get rid of it.
5. I argue with Kevin about my work situation. He knows I can't pay him in full every month, yet he still wants paying.

A Prayer for the People of Boston



I never know what to say when things like this happen. My thoughts and Prayers are with everyone affected by this terrible and callous tragedy. Stay strong people. May God be with you at this sad time.

Weekly What - My First Link Up

button

I think it's about time I started doing this link up. I love reading what you guys have been up to....

So thanks to Allie @ Tales of a TwentySomething here's what I got up to last week.

Monday

Last Monday was my birthday. It was a lovely sunny day. Of course I had to work but I didn't let that spoil my day. First of all, here's some of the gorgeous pressies I got. 

Cute Little Owl Organiser

Tatty Teddy

New Owl Mug

Elemis Beauty bag

Cute


Then Kevin got me these cute little charms
Cross and Heart charms. Kevin bought the whole bracelet a few years ago.
 
for my charm bracelet and took me out to lunch. Oh and then I went to my brother's to watch the soccer. Unfortunately my team (Manchester United) got beat by local rivals Manchester City. 

Tuesday

Tuesday was just another normal day for me and I didn't get up to very much. I did think I was starting with a cold.

Wednesday

Wednesday mom and I went over to Skipton to take one of her outfits back that she had bought for my brother's wedding. I didn't see anything that I liked to be honest. I did however see a cute little dress and a jacket to match it. But darn I forgot to take a photo! I wanted to see the church in Embsay (where my brother's fiancee is from) where my brother gets married in two weeks. We didn't expect to see them but as we were waiting to come out of the lane that leads up to the church we bumped into Jonathan's future in-laws who were on their way back from an afternoon stroll.

Thursday

Thursday I had to work and when mom picked me up we went to do the weekly food shop, as we couldn't go on Friday like we usually do.

Friday 

Friday I took my nan shopping and then came home to get ready to visit the Trafford Centre with my mom, she had an appointment to get her hair chut and coloured. Then Friday night I went out for a couple of drinks with Kevin. 

Saturday

Kevin had some friends (whom I do not know and don't really want to know now that he doesn't work with them anymore) over on Saturday afternoon. My mom and dad went to Liverpool on Saturday with some friends so I spent the day working on my Business Admin course, shredding a few papers and watching films and catching up on a few blogs. 

Sunday

Yesterday was another chilled day. As I didn't stay over at Kevin's I was up early and there for 10.30am. We watched Fernando Alonso win the Chinese F1. Next it was down to Asda for a few things and back home to watch Manchester United beat Stoke 2-0, then we saw Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA cup semi-final. I cooked stir-fry for tea and then we chilled out with the television for the rest of the night. 

Hopefully next week's Weekly What will have a lot more Photos and much better contents. What was your weekend like?


Five For 5





Well its day again and that means linkup time with Jess and Jenn. Last weeks goals were kept quite small and simple. Completed tasks are in Green, non completed in Red  and semi-completed in purple.

1) Use my e-cig everyday again.  This one is going to  to be a purple. I did use it but not everyday.
2) Buy some new jeans for everyday wear. I couldnt  do this one because I didnt actually see any that I liked.
3) Update my iPhone as it's becoming a bit slow. Got around to doing this on Saturday as I knew I wouldnt be seeing Kevin and  all day to back it up.
4) Eat plenty of salmon and fish. Yes I did manage to do this about 5/7 days so I am reasonably pleased with myself this week.
5) Find a Job.  This one proved a challenge again but I will keep at it.

This weeks are as follows:

1) Use e E-cig everyday.
2) Walk/Workout at least 3 times this week.
3) Pay £20 off O2 bill on friday.
4) Eat fish or chicken with  all week. Delete all the apps I dont need or use everyday.

Looking forward to seeing what yours are and how y`all did.
