On Monday I headed to a local pub quiz with my boyfriend and three of my friends and sadly unlike last time we went we did pretty badly and ended up coming last. Although I do still think pub quizzes are very fun.
Tuesday evening saw me and my boyfriend head to the O2 Arena to see Queens of the Stone Age. The show was absolutely amazing and it reminded me how great a band they are.
On Wednesday evening I went back to Slimming World Group and am starting afresh. I began at a new group with my mum where we didn’t know anyone and I have a good feeling about this time.
On Saturday I went to see Enter Shikari at Alexandra Palace and it was such a good show. I might not have known some of the more recent music but they always put on a great show.
Christmas officially started on Sunday when I had my first Christmas meal of the year with my group of friends from school. We had a lovely catch up, great pub food and plenty of giggles.
Five Great Things To Happen
I am finally dipping my toe in the water properly with Pinterest and after having some help creating boards and making some pins for old posts I seem to be just about at the point where I get what I’m doing.
I have managed to do a decent chunk of my Christmas present wrapping which I am very happy about.
So far my Slimming World eating has been pretty positive and I have good feelings for this weeks weigh in.
Taylor Swift announced a show and I am so excited although I’m a bit nervous about whether I’ll get a ticket on Friday. I’ve been wanting to see her for ages so I need to make sure I’m there.
I now have my dress for New Year thanks to a Quiz order I made and I am so happy with my choice.
Five Four Things Which Sucked
I had some issues with an order which DX claimed they left out for me but it wasn’t there. It was a high-value item and I can’t believe they left it without a signature, but thankfully the store sorted it out but it would take longer.
I didn’t see my boyfriend as much as usual last week with it being busy so we didn’t get any lazy evenings in or much time to watch more of The Punisher which I am itching to finish.
I seem to have yet more issues with my toilet and the water levels so it’s something else we need to get looked into.
I didn’t manage to work out as much as I’d have liked as I just haven’t had the time too. It’s something I really need to get back into focus with.
Five Things To Do Next Week
Be as confident as I can at my blogging event on Tuesday. I can be pretty shy in front of new people and it’s the first time I won’t know anyone so I need to push myself.
Do at least two home workout’s with my new weights
Have a good first weigh in at Slimming World on Wednesday
Pack everything for my weekend away on the Good Charlotte tour next weekend
Finish scheduling my final few gift guides for December
Lots of lovely positive things to be happy about, good luck for getting tickets for the concert too! I am a bit of a pinterest addict, I use it for nearly everything. Someone once told me a good way to think of it is as a big search engine, which I suppose it is really! 🙂
I had an issue with Amazon couriers this weekend as well. They didn’t even ring my door bell, just left my parcel with a neighbor that happened to be outside. My £1000 new camera. I was furious, it could have been anyone outside pretending to be a neighbor! Luckily it was my landlord so I recovered the parcel quite fast.
I hope you have a better week with the work out. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Enjoy Good Charlotte I was supposed to see them tonight but can no longer make it so I’m gutted!
So jealous that you saw Queen’s other stone age and are going to see good Charlotte. This year I’ve seen Blink 182 (hands down beat band ever) and I saw Royal Blood the other week. Hope your weigh in goes well for you and your mum x
These 5 things posts always cheer me up as you have such a busy and fun filled life. Also glad to hear there were only 4 things that sucked instead of the usual five. Good luck with the slimming world too x
Glad to hear that you’re back working out. That’s one thing that a lot of women are struggling with, being consistent with it. It take a lot of discipline.
Ahh I’m still making my way through Punisher too! I’m only 4 eps in. Avoiding spoilers everywhere I go. Glad to know I’m not the only one stuck behind for the same reasons!
Soooo jealous that you’re off to see Good Charlotte! I absolutely love them. I’ve seen them live a few times and they’re always amazing live. Have a great time 😀
I went to the O2 but I went to see Steps and Vengaboys. Good luck with your slimming world journey, and good luck for tomorrow with the Taylor tickets. I’ve seen her and it was a really good show
Two awesome gigs in a week? Lucky you! I’m starting to get to grips with Pinterest too but would love some tips if you write a blog! And well done on Slimming World! Excited to follow your journey!
When I was little, my mum used to sit my brother and I down at the table for “candle night” where we would turn all the lights off and leave some candles lit and tell eachother what was good that week and what was bad that week. It really made us stop and think and I feel like this post has captured that memory so well for me!

Good luck for the event – just try to talk to lots of people – make small talk! They’ll be just as nervous as you!

Goodluck on the future stuff you’ll do. I’d love to have time and catch up with my past friends from school too.

It sounds like you had a great week. Great start with wrapping presents. Good luck with your event! I am sure it will be perfect!
Wow well done on doing some Christmas wrapping. I’ve got some gifts but haven’t managed to get as far as wrapping just yet.
Lots of really great things , sorry to hear that you nearly lost your parcel at least DX found it.
Soooo jealous that you’re off to see Good Charlotte! I absolutely love them. I’ve seen them live a few times and they’re always amazing live. Have a great time 😀

I have lost count of the amount of times we have lost the pub quiz. It’s still so much fun taking part though.

I love this style of post, and I’d be lying if I wasn’t a little jealous that you were going to see Good Charlotte! That will be an amazing gig!
