Sundays!

It's ages since I blogged (again)

I'm just sitting on the sofa watching Aladdin (CLASSIC!!!!). It's been a busy weekend really, Friday went out for a drink or three with some work colleagues, then yesterday worked all day at the IELTS exam. Last night, just passed out on the sofa and watched Britney Spears Glee from last week! My housemate made a curry, and then I pretty much went to bed!

This morning I had a chilled read of the news then went to the gym for an hour and a half!!! Longest gym session in history, I think! Pretty good but waiting for the burn tomorrow... Then spent a small fortune in Tesco but bought a lot of freezer and cupboard stuff, so hopefully that'll keep me going for a while.

Gotta start keeping massive tabs on finances though because I'm hoping to book flights this week... to Malaysia!! Hoping for two weeks off at the end of April, and so we've been planning a fantastic trip. We've been wanting to go there for about a year (since we planned a whole trip, I quit my job and came back to the UK!! Hehe oops.

All is good in general, back to choir last week, and we've got a concert coming up in about 3 weeks in the St. Mary Redcliffe church here in Bristol, super exciting. It's a great venue so I'll post all about tickets etc as and when I know!

Right so I'm gonna go and put the heating on for an hour and chillax to a brilliant childhood favourite film ;)

Chau!!

So tired!!

It's Wednesday. I'm SOOOOO tired!!! I need to sleep, think I'd better have an early night tonight except I also have lots of marking to do!!

I haven't managed to make it to the gym the last few days either, I had a hair appointment yesterday and today I was on late at work so I couldn't get out until after 6pm. So I came home and ate dinner and now watching TV (instead of marking).

Tomorrow's back to choir and test writing. And so I'm gonna try to go on Friday after work. Phew.

Still, all's going pretty well, flat's good, and work is fine although it's still just getting towards being back in the routine of work. Effort!!!!

2011!

So we're already one week into the New Year and this is my first blog of 2011!

The holiday was really great, so good to have some time off and hang out with my family. Unfortunately Adam couldn't make it for Christmas, but Granny came up and we had a lovely few days eating lots of delicious food, watching rubbish films and all the traditional stuff that goes with Christmas! On Christmas Eve it was really good to catch up with the usual suspects in the usual location! Also managed to meet the newest people in my friends' lives - not-so-little Cormac and placid wee William.

Unbelievably, Pete managed to get home without a single delay or problem, and we spent a few fab, relaxing, touristy days in London and Bath, ahhh. New Year was at my friends' house and it was good for him to meet a few of my oldest chums! We arrived back in Bristol on the 3rd to my lovely new flat!!!!! It was annoying having to go back to work while he was still around but we had a delicious dinner at the Cowshed, and then he headed over to London on Wednesday to get his flight back to the Middle East. So the countdown's back on! The end is in sight!!!!

Back to work, and good to be getting back into my routine. Settling into the new flat which is a great location, much more in the heart of things, about 10 mins from work, my friends' houses, the gym.... YES, the GYM!!! Today I joined the local gym, and I'm determined to make the most of it. The membership includes access to all the branches across Bristol, all classes, all facilities (so the one nearest me doesn't have yoga or a swimming pool, but I could go over to another site to do that if I wanted) - it's pretty small and it's a council gym so it's not pretentious like other gyms I've been to!! haha. So we'll see how it goes...!!
