Five Things – Week 89
October 30, 2017
Five Things I Did This Week
- On Tuesday I headed to see Thor: Ragnarok and it was absolutely everything I wanted it to be and more. Definitely the best Thor movie and probably one of my favourite Marvel movies in general. I urge everyone to go and see it.
- Thursday evening saw me, my other half and two friends head to Milton Keynes to the Snozone to have a beginners ski lesson and although certain elements were a bit tough I had such a fun night.
- On Saturday I headed to my very first Comic-Con and it was such a fun day. I dressed up as Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and the day was full of exploring, watching other Cosplayers and buying loads of stuff.
- To start our Sunday off I took my other half to his first afternoon tea at the Hilton Park Lane as they were having a chocoholics Halloween themed tea. Everything was so yummy and it was just as good as I remembered last time. After that we headed to the Royal Albert Hall to watch the matinee performance of Symphonic Star Wars where the Philharmonic Orchestra played a whole load of Star Wars songs and it was incredible.
- After my boyfriend went home I spent the evening having a catch-up meal with some friends and heading to the Boston Music Rooms to see Bad Omens who were really good.
Five Great Things To Happen
- I have now made great improvements in my Christmas present situation and I am hoping to get some wrapped soon to help save any stress closer to Christmas.
- I got some really good deals on Very with a spend £100 and get £50 back voucher so I managed to grab a few pairs of jeans and some dumbells to use during my home work out for a great price.
- At Comic-Con I bought a mystery Funko Pop box and got both Daredevil and Barb pops and I was so happy. There’s always a worry about these mystery boxes that you’ll get rubbish but I am so happy with mine.
- I have pretty much finished packing for holiday now other than my last minute things like chargers and makeup. It means this week will be a lot more chilled out as I don’t have that much to do.
- I decided on my phone upgrade and sorted it out. I am going to be the proud owner of an iPhone 8 Plus after being an android fan for all these years. I can’t wait to get stuck in with it.
Five Things Which Sucked
- My aqua aerobics class on Wednesday evening got canceled which was a shame. I still went to the gym but it wasn’t quite the same as I do really enjoy the class.
- I had my smear test which in itself wasn’t bad but I can’t believe where the past 3 years since my last one have gone. It’s so scary to think how quickly life is passing by.
- As the weekend was so busy I haven’t had a chance to finish Stranger Things, although up to Monday morning I have watched 5 episodes and I am loving it so far.
- I did really badly with my workout DVD this week and have only done it once. I need to get into a better habit when I am back from holiday, at least by then I’ll have my dumbells.
- There seem’s to be an issue with my shower door where it isn’t closing properly and it’s such a pain as it’s another thing which I need to get sorted.
Five Things To Do Next Week
- Finish setting up my iPhone before I go away. As I’ve never had an iPhone there’s going to be a lot to sort out.
- Check-in for our first flight online on Friday as you can only do it 24 hours before with BA. I think you should have a bit more time as we’re going to have to check in while we’re away for our flight home.
- Make sure I have sorted out all of my blogging stuff for while I am away. I am not going to be posting blogs but I want to keep up to date on social media.
- Have a bit of a relax as I know last weekend was a bit crazy
- Write up more of my gift guides ready for when I come back as I know the 6 weeks ahead of Christmas will disappear in a blur

I love your five things posts. A ski lesson sounds fab and afternoon tea is always lovely! Glad you’ve had a good week!
Oh wow you look fab as Sally! I would love to go to Comic Con one year it always looks like such fun, thought I have to admit I wouldn’t be brave enough to dress up.
Have a lovely time – oh I can’t wait to see Thor – it looks an awesome film. Kaz 🙂
Thor looks to be a total gas and am looking forward to seeing it as well. Congrats on your first comic-con,those are always a hoot. And lastly….good job on getting your medical test done. Uterine health too gets overlooked and it really shouldn’t…
This is such a lovely post. I would love to go to Comic Con one day!
Ooh I am going to afternoon tea on Wednesday it sounds like you had a wonderful time at the Hilton! This will actually be my first time going too!
Oooh, we love Milton Keynes, snozone. I must go back with the kids soon. x
Comic cons are so much fun, you look fab! I need to see Thor it sounds amazing
I love your Sally! I’m really hoping Thor is as good as the trailers were, it looks so good 😀
Love your five things articles. The hilton Halloween themed tea sounds fab and your first Comic-Con sounds fun x
Yay! It sounds like you’ve had such a fun week! 🙂 I have to admit, I bought some dumbells too and I’m totally obsessed with them! I use them with an iPhone app called VT Dumbell – which is kinda cool as you can build your own workouts with it (maybe something to look into for your new phone, if you’re interested) <3 xxx
I’ve just downloaded the app, thanks for the recommendation x
Sounds like you had quite the fun week. I love your cosplay and ComicCon is awesome.
I didn’t know the new Thor film was out! I need to watch this as I’ve not been to the cinema in ages although it’s hard when we don’t have a babysitter!
omg i love Thor although im not impressed he has now cut his hair i loved him with his long manly like look , x
I totally agree, I loved the long hair x
I’m so pleased you shared the picture of you Nightmare B$ Christmas outfit – it looks great!!!! Afternoon tea sounds yummy, i’d love a Halloween themed one.
I love reading your 5 things posts as you seem to do such exciting things! However you’ve also just reminded me I am due a smear and they haven’t got in contact yet so I’ll be chasing that up – wouldn’t have remembered if it wasn’t for you! x
We’d love to go to a Comic-Con – you are so lucky. Maybe when I’m a bit older my folks all take me. We hate the dreaded smear as well x
You seem to be very organised with your Christmas shopping. I need to get started. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Sounds like you had a great time! Love your costume 🙂
You always seem to pack so much into a week. Mine seems to revolve entirely around the kids’ social activities!
I totally need to up my game and have weeks that are as good and busy as yours. I’ve been healing from an injury and that’s been quite the bummer. I can’t wait to see the new Thor film! x
I have done some ski lessons at the Milton Keynes snow dome and they were so much fun. I ached the next day though.
I like your costume from the Comic-Con. Hope next week will be as full of fun as this one.
