Five Things – Week 128
August 20, 2018
Five Things I Did Last Week
- On Monday evening me, Luke and a few friends headed to a lovely local pub to do the pub quiz. It was nice to have a bit of a catch up and we didn’t do too badly with the quiz itself.
- On Wednesday evening I went to the cinema with my bestie to see Hotel Transylvania 3 and although it was a proper kids movie we really enjoyed it.
- On Thursday evening me and Luke headed into London to the theatre to see Knights of the Rose which is out just for the summer and it was so good. I loved the song choices which included 80’s and 90’s rock tracks.
- On Saturday me and Luke headed to Chelmsford for a day at Rize Festival and I had so much fun. I managed to see Rag’N’Bone man and Sean Paul for the first time alongside a bunch of other acts.
- On Sunday I headed into London for a solo day in the city and I managed to visit so many places which had been on my wish list for a while such as Holland Park and the Japanese Gardens, ice cream at Soft Serve Society, Naked Dough and Columbia Flower Market.
Five Great Things To Happen
- I’ve started looking at a spa weekend in Yorkshire for me and Luke’s anniversary in a few months. We had such a good time in York that we’d love to go back and combine it with a weekend of relaxation.
- I’ve been driving Luke’s car more and getting more comfortable in an automatic. It’s amazing how much difference it has made to my confidence driving as I don’t have to worry about gears.
- The final item I ordered to my US PO Box has arrived so I can finally ship the items out to me which I am so excited for as I have a Bath and Bodyworks order I can’t wait for.
- We booked tickets to a local gin festival happening later in the year which is great after the one we were going to go to was cancelled.
- I made a trip to Wilko and bought a whole load of storage items which are already helping out keep things tidy in the fridge and under our sink.
Five Things Which Sucked
- I was convinced I was due to be paid just before bank holiday weekend but it turns out it’s the following week which is annoying as I’d worked out my budgets for then.
- We had such a busy weekend that I didn’t get to catch up on much sleep so I’m starting the week already tired.
- I know yet again I’ve overindulged in food, although I’ve been a bit better with my dinners so I am hoping that will be enough that I don’t put on weight this week.
- Although I was much better at limiting my spending over the weekend I still spent a bit more than I had planned in my budgets.
- I managed to lose one of my pairs of sunglasses which is annoying as it’s the pair I usually have sitting in my car.
Five Things To Do This Week
- Call my insurance company and get some more information on how much it would be to insure myself on Luke’s car.
- Do some research into house locations and work out a all the possible locations we could look in versus commute, ease of getting into London etc.
- Lose any weight at Slimming World this week as I’ve really been losing focus with it lately.
- Try and book mine and Luke’s anniversary weekend away so we have time to save for it.
- Stick to my pretty strict budgets for this week.
What have you been up to this week?

Have you heard there’s a couple of bath and bodyworks meant to be opening in London? Or at least that’s what a friend told me. That should be interesting if it happens.
Sounds like you had a good week – hands up I love the Hotel Transylvania movies.
I went to see Hotel Transylvania 3 with my kids and thoroughly enjoyed it. Having done a cruise I saw real similarities to actual cruise lines (minus the monsters)
Oh no. I hate when I misplace my car sunglasses – I normally wear them into the house and realise after I’ve locked up and taken off my shoes. Hope they turn up soon.
Take care with your sleep hours. They really a very important!

It seem’s like you did a lot of good things for the past weeks but I am feel sorry for what happened to you in Luke’s car and I agree you better have an insurance for your protection.
Your weeks are always so busy, I don’t know how you fit so much in! It sucks when you think you’ve worked out your budget and then you realise you’re not being paid – happened to me a few months back!
It seems like you did quite a lot of stuff in last week, you all enjoyed well. Wish you same for this week too. I have heard Hotel Transylvania 3 is a good movie for kids, though I would love to watch it too. 😛
It sounds like you’ve had a busy week. Good for you for getting more confident at driving! I just bought insurance for my new car last week and ouch, it did hurt the budget.
Hey! That was really a busy schedule. Please take care of your sleep hours it’s really important to have proper sleep. Not fair
I enjoy these five things posts. It sounds like you had a good week. Do try and get your sleep in though its so important ! 🙂
Overall it seems like you had a lovely week. I can’t wait to hear about your spa weekend once you’ve been. I bet you will have a great time!
I’ve been wanting to go to a pub quiz for ages! Your week sounds lovely, and I’m forever envious of your bath & bodyworks order 🙂
You’re always so busy i wish I had half as much to do ha. Im looking at a spa trip soon as well, i could do with the boost and the relaxation time x
The Spa weekend sounds great. I love Wilko, they have some pretty great stuff.
You’ve just reminded me that I need to sort out car insurance, ours is up for renewal and I need to get some quotes – plus book it in for an MOT.
oh I used to love going to our local pub quiz and as gutted when they stopped doing it sounds like you have had a fab week such a buy lady
Sounds like a great week! I hope you & your hubby enjoy the spa weekend I like the idea of doing a “5 things” post!
I really want to go and see Hotel Transylvania 3. Glad you enjoyed it. I’m sure the kids and I will too!
Ooh the gin festival sounds like it will be fun! I love a trip to Wilko to buy lots of storage stuff too..!! xx
I would love to visit there! Se manifique moments captured. Great views and vibes.
Cinema and theatre are definitely up my street! Never been to a gin festival but it does sound fun! Unfortunately I’m saving as for a house so I’m currently holding onto my pennies! Boo x
I need to work on a budget, too! And so great that you are planning a getaway. Those are always great for celebrating! 🙂
Your week is quite busy I guess. I have nothing to do most of the time
I love how you take the time to reflect on what has happened, but you’re also looking forward to what’s on the horizon, I those are both incredibly important! That local gin festival seems like it’ll be pretty awesome!
