Looking out across to the original Calypso Hotel before Phases two and three were built, from the Al Fresco Bar.
Pool again
The Pool
The Entrance.
Kevin and I had been deliberating over whether or not to go away this year, money has been a little tight though and Kevin has just bought a new car (of which there's a story behind) and therefore said he might not be able to go away. I naturally come to terms with this as I know how he feels. So imagine my surprise when he rings me Wednesday night to say that there was 11 Days in Salou going cheap at £477 per person. I was over the moon. Ecstatic, over the moon, whatever you want to call it. Finally I can buy a white bikini. But before I get it on I'll have to get a few sessions with Vicky "The Arse" Binns done. Which reminds me...I need to book myself in for a bikini wax at Poppies. I can't wait to lie by that pool and bake in the sun. Salou is calling me.

A Keen Reader = A Keen Blogger
One of My Favourite Childhood Authors
I've just been reading "From the Desk of Bee Drunken" and this latest blog highlights that most bloggers are keen readers. So here are some of my favourite books, that I have read over my 31 years.
Childhood favorites:
The Magic Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton
The Secret Blog
The Secret Seven Books.
The Fantastic Five Books.
Comfort reading:
Going the Distance - Christina Jones
Christina's Blog
Stealing The Show - Christina Jones
It Could Be You - Josie Lloyd
Career Girls - (For some reason I cannot remember the author of this book but it will come to me).
Novels I have read time and time again.
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Not Without My Daughter - Betty Mahmoody -
I have read this several times and just want to read it again and again. Betty's story is so moving and it's actually been educational at the same time as it has taught me a few words of Farsi, some of which are very similar to my mother's native Assyrian.
Angel Uncovered - Katie Price ( I had wanted to read this for ages after reading a snippet of Heather's whilst on holiday last year, so you can imagine my surprise when I got it for Christmas off kev's mum and dad.)
Funland - Richard Laymon
I'm also a fan of Autobiographies and Biographies. Here's just a few to name:
The Sound of Laughter - Peter Kay
Cheryl Cole.
The Kindness of Strangers - Kate Adie
My Side - David Beckham
My Story - Lewis Hamilton
Books I would like to read this year: TBC

Weekend Off
It's been a quiet weekend without Kevin. I did not see him at all on Friday or Saturday. Although it has been nice spending the weekend with my mate Hayley and just doing typical girly things, like watching a movie and all that. I have told Kevin that I want to do this once a month and go out with the girls and he can go out with the lads. I must admit though, I have been somewhat cranky because I have not been with Kevin. I don't quite know what has gotten into him recently, it seems he is becoming distant towards me and If he is then I want to know why. I know he's busy with this course he's doing at work but that's surely no reason to neglect his girlfriend. He never replies to my messages in the week or my calls...it's beginning to make me think...."Is there someone else?" "Is he ignoring me on purpose?" "Does he want to end things?" For the time being I'll just wait to see what happens and then confront him.

My life would suck without Kevin
Only You know how I really Feel about you Kevin....
Guess this means I'm sorry
I'm standing at your door
Guess this means I'll take back all I said before
Like how much I wanted
Anyone but you
Said I'd never come back
but here I am again
Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me,and honestly
My life would suck without you
Maybe I was stupid
For telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out
I'm nothing without you
Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me,and honestly
My life would suck without you
Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go, yeah
Cause we belong together now,yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me,and honestly
My life would suck without you
Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me,and honestly
My life would suck without you!

Wednesday Waffle
It's been a somewhat miserable start to the week. After having nearly 3 lovely days in Mere Brow and our Caravan, it's felt a little unpleasant coming home to rain for the past three days. It's supposed to be summer here in the UK and seeing as April is supposedly the wettest month of the year, we hardly had any rain in April. It's raining again today, all I can see when I look out of the window are droplets on the window. The Trees wafting in the wind. Kevin was saying that this year was supposed to be one of the hottest summers we've had in a long time. I just hope he's right.

Bank Holiday Antics again.
This one is similar to the one we stayed in.
Again so is this one.
So off we went. kevin arrived around 3.15 to pick me up, we headed off to mere brow for our 2 night stay in a caravan. As we were approaching Preston and the Motorway, kevin's phone rings, its his dad. He's only left his sugar and tea bags at home. We were gagging for a brew when we arrived and then after finding a small box of tea bags in the cupboard we were quite releived but then needed sugar so we set off to find the local tesco, we ended up visiting a tesco express as we both needed that brew, so we got a few bits, the essentials, bread, milk, sugar and butter. Then headed back to the caravan for a brew and to freshen up.Afterwards it was off out for something eat and then back to chill out.
Saturday morning we were greeted with tranquil blue skies and a warming sun. So after making some bacon and sausage butties we decided to head out to watch football in nearby Southport, as we drove into the town centre we could see nothing but shops, not a pub in sight on either side of the main street...so Kevin suggested Blackpool. It has been a while since we were there and as it was such a lovely day it seemed an opportunity not to be missed. We found a bar in one the arcades that had football showing and settled down to watch my beloved United win 2-0. Then we decided on a walk around Blackpool. Kevin wanted to buy me a top and I agreed to letting him buy me one from topshop (pics of which will post later on. I knew it would probably fit so didn't try it on. kevin didn't see anything he liked in topman and we made our way to Primark where I bought a little purple clutch bag with a long strap to match my purple top. next it was off to peacocks where Kevin bought a t-shirt and a new shirt. Then we headed back to the caravan to freshen up before going out for some food. We arrived back around half five and kevin said he was going for a shower. Then sometime before 6pm he came up behind me and said "Get your clothes off." I looked at him and asked, "How can you possibly think about sex at this time?" Kevin said nothing and just grabbed my hand and directed me towards the bedroom...enough said.
I didn't feel like going out for dinner after that, I would have stayed in bed all night with Kevin. But we were both hungry.
Sunday we were greeted again with blue sky and sunshine. We had also decided to go home today as it was so quiet and we knew it would be windy in Blackpool so we got ready and decided to head for home. Then seeing as we were both off Monday we went out with some friends sunday night. Here's a few pics that Heva's mum took of us.
We arrived back at Kevin's around quarter to twelve and I sent Kevin a text telling him what I wanted to do to him. He was downstairs in a flash and we were soon at it like rabbits. God he's good. I ended up straddling him on the settee and then he took me from behind. It was amazing. I can't wait for him to make love to me again. I just can't believe how good he is in bed.
Sara's Summer Must Haves
I need a trendy black skirt as I am fed up of wearing jeans when I go out. This one from New Look is nice and comfy to wear.
The perfect Little Summer dress. Corals seem to be big this season and this bares no exception.
Floral tops are also in this season and I thought this was soooo cute and girly.
This to give me a nice healthy glow when I can't sunbathe...I am somewhat slightly olive skinned but not much.
Seeing as big glasses are going to be huge again this summer, I thought these would look good.
And these from River Island are quite eyecatching too.
This is definitely one for my suitcase.
This has an spf 15 so its great for everyday use and it doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or dry. Goes on nice and smooth.
Everyone needs a good lip plump and this is one of my faves. Leaves your lips soft and looking fuller. It can be worn on its own or as a base under your favourite lippy.
