Five Things – Week 87
October 16, 2017
Five Things I Did This Week
- On Tuesday evening I headed to Scala to catch Big Spring and The Xcerts and it was such a good night. I am a huge fan of Xcerts and it was great to see them play a venue of this size.
- On Wednesday I headed back to Aqua Aerobics and then had dinner at my nan’s. I get all of my deliveries sent to my nan’s as well as there’s always someone in so it was like Christmas had come early.
- On Thursday we had a nice lazy night in and cooked some steak and watched Father of the Bride two.
- Saturday was when my other halves parents came home from holiday so we did a bit of cleaning and baking then relaxed catching up with them.
- On Sunday I went sofa shopping to look for something new for my flat and I placed an order for a stunning charcoal pillow back corner sofa and I am so excited to get it delivered. I feel like such an adult making a purchase like this.
Five Great Things To Happen
- Despite putting off watching the latest trailer I have my tickets booked for the Star Wars premiere in December and I am excited, especially as there’s a group of 9 of us heading to the Imax cinema to see it
- I started properly prepping my Christmas gift guides ready for the first one to go live next week. I definitely feel prepared blog-wise for Christmas this year, not so much present wise though.
- We booked our flights out to New York next March which means both of our flights are all booked and it’s becoming even more of a reality, woop. It’s only cost us £300 each return including baggage which I think is a steal.
- I found a Nightmare Before Christmas sing-a-long showing in London the night before Christmas eve so I booked to go and I am so excited to see my favourite movie with like-minded people.
- I’ve planned an evening for my parents to finally meet my other halves parents, only a year after being together *oops*. I really hope it goes well, although I’m sure it will.
Five Four Things Which Sucked
- On Monday I really wasn’t feeling myself and had a little bit of a breakdown. I don’t tend to get emotional all that much but something just switched, but after some tears and long chats, I felt much better about everything.
- An order of mine was returned to Marks and Spencer and I couldn’t re-order it because it was out of stock online, and apparently, the sales are online and not in store so I couldn’t even buy the item instore. Sadly the store staff were pretty rude and left me a bit annoyed.
- We tried to make a mirror glaze cake over the weekend but it just didn’t seem to go to plan and it came out all wrong.
- I’ve got a bit behind with trying out my comic con costume so I really hope it still comes out okay as I have less than 2 weeks to go now.
Five Things To Do Next Week
- Book our Ragnarok tickets once my Meerkat movie code comes through
- Buy a few bits for holiday in Westfield on Friday but try not to go too crazy with money
- Find a nice restaurant to eat in when I’m in Brighton on Saturday
- Start making lists for my packing for Italy as it will only be two weeks away by the weekend
- Be confident when I go to a marketing event on Thursday and make sure I do communicate
What have you been up to this week?

Eekk to booking your tickets how exciting! but what a shame about Marks and Spencers, you would think they would have good customer service.
That’s an innovative way to look at life for sure. When I was younger I had a list of ten eventful things in a day adn wrote them down in the diary. It was fun doing it as it was memorabl!
I love this way of sharing what you’ve been up to! Aqua Aerobics sounds fun, and i’d love to go to that Nightmare Before Christmas sing-a-long!
Oh I’m sorry you had a bit of a break down, sometimes I think we need a good cry so we can get it all out ready to start again. xx
I have commented on a few of these posts but I think it’s a really nice idea and a good way to keep track of what you’ve been doing! Maybe I should start as well. I should also be inspired and go to aqua aerobics! It’s so much fun but I haven’t been in years!
The Charcoal sofa sounds nice I do like that colour. The mirror glaze cake sounds like fun, shame it didn’t work.
Oh no 🙁 I do hope that you are feeling better now! Can’t wait to see your Christmas guides next week, I definitely need some inspiration that is for sure!
I hope things are much better now. I can relate about having moments … I actually had a major break down recently because I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I couldn’t stop crying and getting depressed. I wish all goes well from here on out and all the positive vibes your way. xx
I hope you’re ok now, despite few hiccups this week! I’m so jealous of your trip to New York I hope you’re going to have so much fun!
Good luck for when you meet your OH parents 🙂 I’m sure it will be great!
For mirror glaze cake I could help – I have a simple recipe on my blog if you ever want to give it a go again!
What a long week! Looking forward to see your costume. Good luck on your marketing event!
Sharing what you’ve been up to is refreshing to me.. Sometimes, we need some outlet and be ready to start all over again.
Oooh I am liking the sound of your new sofa, I need to get a new bed but meh, I don’t want to adult right now x
Wow, you had lots on! This flights really were a steal – I’ve never flown into NY but I assumed they would way pricier – good job!
Ooh exciting about the flights to New York – and what a bargain too! I am hoping to go for my 30th in 2019 🙂 We booked our tickets for Star Wars this week too!
You got a really good deal with your flight to NYC! I need to start to a list like you every week to see more positive stuff!!
Sounds like you have a social and fun life… New York will be super fun and I’m sure you’ll love it! Oh, and I’ll be sure to check out your Xmas guides when they’re complete, I could use some inspiration ; )
An inspiring blog Rhian, it motivates you to try out different things and inspires others who may think, ‘that’s an idea, must try that!’ And New York sounds amazing.
I used to keep lists myself! Love this post, congrats on all the things you’ve achieved hun here’s to more fun and adventure planning!
What a fun way of sharing what you’ve been doing! I am sure it makes you wanna do even more so you can write about it! I should probably try that. I’ve been working a lot lately and haven’t done much but I have a few fun things planned for the weekend!
New York is going to be exciting….make sure you save enough for a Aaron Judge uniform!! All Rise!!!
Dinner at nan’s sounds perfect. Also they do Aqua Aerobics at my health club…I must get involved in this as not tried it yet :)x
I have avoided watching the latest Star Wars trailer too! I feel like it would ruin it for me as I have some big theories about Rae. I’ve booked the day off work for it haha.
I like your lists. They show you accomplished a lot more than you realise. Well done! It shows that you are focused on accomplishing your tasks. And whilst the week wasn’t perfect (that’s life) you had a glorious week!
You have so many positives and so many great things coming up to look forward to. Not least that amazing trip!! I wish I was so organised, in my real life and blog life!!
Oh wow! You must be SO excited for New York – and what a great price on the tickets! 🙂 The Nightmare Before Christmas sing-a-long sounds so much fun too! Have an amazing time! xx
Oh your trip to New York sounds just fantastic! Sorry you had a bit of a breakdown but sometimes a good cry works wonders! Kaz
The nightmare before Christmas sing a long sounds amazing! We love that movie!
Amazing that you managed to book returns to new york at £300 each where and how!? I so want to visit!!
Great ways that you spend your time. Exciting that you booked your tickets for the Star Wars movie. The Nightmare before Christmas sounds fab! The company I work for do memorabilia, so we have Star War Clock, Yoda lamp and Nightmare before Christmas stuff. LOL.
Glad you’re feeling prepared for Christmas with your blog this year – I am definitely not haha! So jealous of your trip to New York. x
Yeah for buying tickets to New York. That’s a great price
I really love these posts – may have to do my own – good to find some positive stuff to remember too!
You are getting ready for Christmas early! That is awesome! I started finding some nick knacks to use as stocking stuffers already. Glad I am not the only one.
