Things I Love about the weekends.

1. Having a Lie in. This was actually in Salou in 2009, but I'm on the bed, so technically it still counts.

2. Being with my gorgeous man. 

3. The prospect of being able to wear cute little summer dresses like this one I have soon. (I don't actually have a picture of it yet, but once I do I'll post it up.) But I'd love one of  these.

4. Having a nice soak in the bath(awkwardly in a small bath I might add) with Kevin.

5. Hot Cappucino with not much froth. I normally have my cappucino from Costa.

6. Chilling out with my new book; Gok Wan's Autobiography.

Nails

I am having my nails done on weds, Shelley can't do the foils thing yet but when she can, I'd love this....

Sara's Healthy Menu's - Monday 10 January 2011

It's been a week since 2010 ended and 2011 began, I thought it would be nice to update you on how my new year resolutions have been going.

1 Drink more water. I've been sipping at a 50cl bottle of volvic on a daily basis.
2. I need to get fit. (I know this wasn't included, but it needs to be). As of tonight, I am going to jump on the Orbitrek Cross trainer for at least 20minutes. I want to get rid of my flabby, fat belly, that makes me look like I am 7 Months pregnant. I can't wear tight fitting tops, Well I can but they don't look right with my fat sticking out all over the place. So as of today menus will consist of:

Breakfast for Monday 10 January - 1 Bowl of Kellogs Special K with skimmed milk. 1 Cup of Tea with Skimmed Milk.

Lunch for Monday 10 January - 1 glass of either Fresh Orange Juice or a cup of Green Tea. Soup and a sandwich with Ham and salad.

Dinner for Monday 10 January. 1 Glass of water. 1 Jacket potato with either cottage cheese and baked beans. Scampi and brown rice with lots of vegetables.

Snacks for Monday 10 January. I do not normally snack in between meals. If I do it will be fruit from now on.

16 Days of Blogging - Days 11 - 16

16 Days of Blogging - 16 Day Challenge.

Day 11 – What if you were pregnant or got someone pregnant, what would you do?

If I found out I was pregnant I would of course have to keep it. I'd never dream of aborting a life. Unless I knew that I would never be able to support the child financially.

Day 12 – The reason you believe you’re still alive today.

Because I have always been lucky enough to have a Guardian Angel in the form of My dear Grandad Hawil to watch over me.

Day 13 – A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days.

Any Artist or song that reminds me of Laird Kevin or has the ability to be able to chill me out is good enough for me.

Day 14 – Something you wish you hadn’t done in your life.


I regret leaving such a good job at Marks and Spencers.

Day 15 – A letter to yourself, tell yourself ANYTHING you think you should know about your life.

Dear Sara Pilling

Make the most of your life....You just never know. Go back to school and learn something new about yourself...

Day 16 – What is in your bag?


My handbag at the moment has allsorts in it. Alien perfume by Thierry Mulger, Some cotton gloves for my always cold hands. 2 purses. One for my cards and notes, the other for loose change. A couple of pens, a hairbrush, my 2011 diary. Bits of makeup. My headphones. My spare phone. My iPhone.

16 Days of Blogging - Day 10

Day 10 – Have you ever thought about giving up on life?


Quite a few times, Yes. But I have always found the strength to keep going, because I know that there are a lot of people around me who would miss me and love me too much.

16 Days of Blogging

Day 09 – Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you chose all the songs.


Human -Killers
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Don't Stop Believing - Journey
Because of You - Gabrielle
Out of Reach - Gabrielle
Hungry Eyes - Eric Carmen
Crash & Burn - Savage Garden
Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx

The reasons why I chose ALL these songs are simple. I listen to these a lot when I'm missing my wonderful Laird Kevin.

16 Day Blogging Challenge - Day 8.

Day 08 – Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.


There's a few people I'd like to name and shame...I won't mention their names but if they were reading this, then they'd KNOW who they are.

Firstly is an ex of mine. We had been out with mutual friends to celebrate their engagement. I unfortunately got pulled by the police. I had not been drinking, they thought I had and arrested me. My ex was never the same around me after that night. I have only seen him twice since that night four years ago.

Secondly is an ex supervisor of mine. She was a real cow with me and I was secretly pleased when she ended up having a nervous breakdown a couple of months after she left.

16 Day Blogging Challenge - Day 7

Day 07 – Someone who has made your life worth living for.
My wonderful Kevin ( I love you and always will!) My family. My friends.

Day 06 – Something you hope you never have to do.

I am hoping I will never have to go to hospital for anything.

16 Day Blogging Challenge - Day 5

Day 05 – Something you hope to do in your life.

There's a few things I hope to do in my life. But I'll only list a couple here for now.

Firstly is to have the opportunity to buy myself a DSLR and develop my love of photography further.

Secondly, I'd love to have the opportunity to go to New York and San Francisco.

Simples.

16 Day Blogging Challenge - Day 4

I admit it. I forgot to blog yesterday.

Day 04 – Something you have to forgive someone for.

Errrm I suppose I could say I forgive Kevin for being so cranky and uptight recently, due to the amout of stress he's been under at work. Plus he's just found out that he has a trapped nerve in his neck, which makes it the more worse for my poor baby.

16 Days of Blogging - Day 3

Day 03 – Something you have to forgive yourself for.

For not being honest about things I have done in the past.
