Five Things – Week 99
January 22, 2018
Five Things I Did Last Week
- On Monday evening I went back to the gym and managed a good half an hour work out before my aqua aerobics class. I need to make more of an effort to do my weight workouts at home as well.
- On Thursday evening I headed to Westfield to have a lovely meal at the Original Smokehouse and it was a really good meal, definitely one for the carnivores as we ate so much meat.
- On Friday after a trip to Tesco we had an evening of cooking some new recipes followed by watching Tenacious D’s ‘The Pick of Destiny’.
- Saturday was very much a chill day as we firstly had our brand new bed delivered which I am very happy about but I also got to be super productive with things I needed to alongside cooking some more.
- On Sunday I headed to Leciester Square with my best friend to have a meal at Maison’s Du Mezze after I won a competition for a meal for two. The meal was so nice that I’ll definitely be heading back there again.
Five Great Things To Happen
- I have been meaning to have a freshen up with my blog layout for a while now and so I bought a new Pipdig layout and I am so happy with the initial look. There are still some tweaks I want to make but for the moment I am very happy.
- I’ve been really brutal with my wardrobe and I seem to have so much more room now which makes me happy. I need to make sure when I’m buying new items or getting printed T-shirts in London done that I am really picky and not just buying everything.
- I braved the Boots 70% off sale first thing on Friday morning and managed to grab a whole bunch of bargains as treats for me or gifts to keep for my family. It’s always hectic but for me it’s worth it.
- I managed to book tickets for the Creme Egg Cafe which is something I’ve been meaning to do for years, and thankfully 2018 is that year.
- I had a nice clear out of all of my kitchen cupboards and managed to stream line quite a few areas which makes me feel so much better.
Five Things Which Sucked
- I put on a pound this week at Slimming World. I totally expected it because it was my birthday and I went out a bit but of course, I was a bit disappointed.
- Although our bed arrived we haven’t heard anything about our mattress which we are still waiting on, it’s a shame it didn’t arrive as we could have put everything up last week.
- As the bed isn’t sorted the flat is a mess as I cleared out under my bed and my bedside tables ready for the new stuff but it’s currently just taking up room.
- One of the guitars within the new Guitar Hero that we bought doesn’t work so we have to send it all back and re-order which is a pain as we wanted to play together.
- As I woke up super early on Saturday when my boyfriend went to work it meant I was pretty tired on Sunday and I think it caught up on me a bit.
Five Things To Do Next Week
- Plan some fun things to do in London next Saturday when I meet my friend
- Try and book flights for my Romania trip in August if they’re still the same price I saw them at a few weeks ago
- Upload more items to eBay and stagger my uploads to a dozen or so each week so I don’t have too many ending at once
- Take photos of all the items I have ready for my Valentines Day gift guides and get ahead of my social media scheduling
- Wake up early at least three mornings to be productive and get stuff done.
What have you been up to this week?

Sounds like it’s been a good week, I’m intrigued as to how you find the Creme Egg cafe as I would love to visit. Enjoy the new bed, when it’s all together!
I keep thinking about getting a new theme, but I’m not sure where to start or look for something I would really fall in love with. How awesome does the creme egg cafe sound! Have an amazing time.
This is such a good way of writing about your week- i might do this in my journal! Thanks for the inspo! x
I love your positivity instead of looking at all the wrongs that happened. Definitly something I should start doing.
Reading this has reminded me I got a new theme a few weeks ago but haven’t uploaded it yet! Really must make some time to do that. It sounds like you’ve had a really productive week. I can’t wait to hear about the Creme Egg Cafe, it sounds like heaven.
Ooh I have never heard of a ‘creme egg cafe’ before but that sounds like fun and congratulations on winning a meal for too.The food looks delicious and is making me hungry haha!
Love reading about what your 5 things are each week, I have had a good few days out with Lucas which has been great
I do love the new layout of your blog- it looks great!
Ooh, I love having a good sort out at this time of year too! Tidying the kitchen cupboards and having a more streamlined wardrobe is so satisfying, isn’t it! I hope your new mattress arrives soon! xx
I need to do something like this. Listing down my accomplishments, my setbacks and future plans for the week. Making this a habit will help me be more efficient in my work.
Ooh lovely new theme! I bet your meal with your friend tasted even nicer knowing you had won it!
I purchased a new Pipdig layout too!
I also need to stagger my eBay uploads – completely overwhelmed with parcels to post right now!

oh, I wish I could be more brutal when it comes to clearing out my wardrobe it’s ridiculous the number of clothes I have and I just keep adding to my ever-growing collection. It sounds like you have had a busy week and glad to see a chill day there too.
I really need to clean out my kitchen cupboards now that you mention it! I hope you enjoyed the gym and find classes that keep you motivated.
You have me intrigued by the Creme Egg Cafe – I hope you write about it! Well done on all your decluttering of your kitchen and clothes
Oh this has just reminded me that I need to have a clear out of my wardrobe to make room for all the new clothes I want to buy haha.
Glad to hear you’ve been able to sneak to the gym. This is something that I really need to make time for.
Sounds like a busy and productive week. I totally missed the Boots sale, I bet there were some amazing bargains!
We love Tenacious D’s ‘The Pick of Destiny’ too -its one of my mummy favourite films. We missed the Boots sale, good thing too as we have no money left this month x
Wait a second, theres a Creme Egg Cafe? HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?! I definitely need to visit! And I love this post, I think I need to do something like this going forward as a kind of summary each week xo
I know I have said it again, but I do love your 5 things posts! You live such an active, fun and different life and I would love to do half the things you do!
One thing I was really pleased with this week was I was asked to go back and do some more recording for the Talking Newspaper for the Blind!!! So chuffed
oooh i’m so jealous you’ve booked to go to the creame egg cafe, can’t wait to hear all about it! xo
creme egg cafe? thats a thing or have I totally got the wrong idea of it? I need to start being brutal with my wardrobe
Yep a creme egg cafe where there are loads of things like cookies/ waffles/ toasties made with creme eggs! I can’t wait
I wish I’d knew about the Boots sale before it happened. The shop in my town is not busy at all, I remember a few years ago that I went in the evening after work and managed to buy loads of perfume sets for 2-3 quid that I used all year as birthday gifts.
Wow good to hear about these great things for you this week. Love to check that Original Smokehouse too.
