Five Things – Week 98
January 15, 2018
Five Things I Did Last Week
- On Monday and Tuesday, me and my boyfriend had chilled nights in which involved home cooked meals, plenty of Friends re-watching and my first experience of Grosse Pointe Blank.
- Wednesday and Thursday evening’s mainly consisted of doing a lot of clearing out and tidying in my flat and I am finally starting to get happy with the way that everything is looking.
- Ahead of my birthday, I had a few friends over on Friday night for a catch-up and some drinks and it was lovely seeing some of them again.
- Saturday started with running some errands in town, then me and my boyfriend went to see Coco at the cinema which was so good, and then it ended with a lovely family meal at my parents for my birthday.
- Sunday was my actual birthday and my boyfriend took me out in London for the day where we had a lovely breakfast, finally visited the British Museum, explored the streets of London, stopped for cupcakes and had a lovely dinner. My day was absolutely perfect and he spoilt me rotten.
Five Great Things To Happen
- I bought a new set of small shelves which sits perfectly in my living room and houses all of my blogging items ready to take photos of or find a home for. Before they were just littered all over the dining table and I am so happy with just this small area.
- I applied for mine and my boyfriend’s ESTA’s for New York and they’ve all been approved which is awesome. It’s one more thing I can tick off my list.
- The new 400 thread count bedding which I ordered is amazing and just really snuggly and soft. and I am so happy with it especially as it was such a good price.
- I am getting far more confident pitching myself and my brand to companies and I had another collaboration be accepted this week.
- Somehow I managed to lose another half a pound at Slimming World this week despite not really sticking to it properly. I know that I need to work hard over the next week as I would like a bigger loss if possible.
Five Things Which Sucked
- Me and some friends had planned to go away over Easter either to Cuba or somewhere similar but unfortunately we left it a bit late to book and now it’s starting to get pricey so my friends have dropped out. Now I’m not sure whether to keep my booked holiday or not. Decisions Decisions
- I regret not buying a set of reeds in the Ted Baker shop on Regent Street as I now can’t find them online. I’m going to need to make another visit sometime soon.
- I wasn’t able to catch up with all of my friends on Friday as some were ill or busy and it’s a shame as I haven’t seen some of them since before Christmas.
- I definitely ate too much naughty food over the past week so I am a little worried about how next week’s Slimming World is going to go, but I guess it’s only your birthday once.
- A really pretty dress that I ordered online just didn’t suit me and it was a shame as I loved it.
Five Things To Do Next Week
- Try and convince my boyfriend to move his turntable to my flat so I can listen to my Nightmare Before Christmas vinyl, either that or pop to HMV and buy one
- Price up how much it’s going to be to buy a new bed when we upgrade from a double to a king size
- Clear out all the cupboards in my kitchen and be brutal with my items
- Start uploading some clothing to sell onto eBay in a bit to clear out and make money
- Clear out my main wardrobe and again be pretty brutal when it comes to the items I own
What have you been up to this week?

Its nice to have plans for next week, keeps you active and stops you from being bored, good job, and great plan.
Happy birthday! Sounds like it was a good week on the whole. Glad you enjoyed Coco, we’re going to see it this week.
This is a very interesting post, I love the idea of listing out 5 different things, you’ve given me an idea for my own 🙂
I am so glad to read you had a lovely birthday and yay for applying for your ESTAs! New York here you come!
Well done on losing half a pound last week, I know you were worried. Don’t worry too much about this weeks weigh in, it was your birthday! I’m worrying as I’ve now got to lose a good few pounds before my birthday haha – I just know I will put on the weigh in after
Your plans for next week sound good, especially getting a new bed. King size is a good size and big enough to be comfy and still stay warm.
We have just bought a new bed and it has made such a difference to my sleep (although I do keep stubbing my toe when I walk past). Hope you manage to sort out Cuba
I love getting a new bed or bedding, happy belated birthday
Happy Birthday! It sounds like you had a nice relaxing day in London! I was actually thinking about the Easter holiday as well today and I did some flight searches. Not the cheapest but not very high either. I just need to decide where to go.
Glad to hear that Coco was good. We’re off to see it at the weekend! This week has been about holidays too, hope you made some great plans x
I really struggled with Slimming World because there seemed to be so much cooking involved. I am tempted to look into the new Weight Watchers Flex thing but I rarely stick to these plans. Hope you had a good birthday.
Wow it seems like you have been very productive and had some nice chilled out nights and declutter is always good. Shame about the easter holiday plans but see it as a new journey – plan something else fun and exciting

I hope you can find a good alternative for the Easter trip with your friends.
I have missed reading your series on your life. Such a shame that Cuba has fallen through hopefully something equally as wonderful will come along 🙂 x
Well done on loosing half a pound without trying that’s always a great thing. I hate weighing myself to find out if I’ve lost when I am actively trying.
its a nightmare when things don’t go as planned but i love your goals
Your birthday sounds perfect. I love a day in London that includes a museum and anything with cupcakes is good.
Exciting stuff that you have your ESTAs sorted. You should head over to Canada from New York, as it is well worth a visit since your near that way x
Happy Birthday for last Sunday. It’s mine on Saturday so I have been mainly working this week and I have been researching how to pitch brands too so well done on getting another collboration. It seems like the only way to get noticed is to actually put yourself in front of a brand with a good idea.
Your five things posts always put a smile on My face. The British Museum is somewhere I need to walk around a bit more and take my camera too!
I would still go to Cuba and have a massive adventure on your own lol xx
Those blogging shelves sound like such a great idea! My mum bought some boxes for me to store stuff in because, like you, they were just all over the floor previously xD
I definitely need to take a leaf out of your book and try to organise my blogging stash! At the moment it’s just, well … everywhere! Eek

I love that so many people are rewatching Friends -I’m hoping to introduce it to my daughters soon! Belated Happy birthday wishes too!
