It is a nice and sunny Saturday here, and as it is yet another Bank Holiday Weekend I have reduced all of my stock by 20%. I am glad to say that I have been nice and busy with people coming in and getting themselves a bargain while adding to their summer wardrobes!

It is such a nice day that I have just called my bf to ask him to get the BBQ out and we will BBQ some steaks that are for dinner! Around here we have to take every chance we get to use the BBQ. Since we bought our house and have had our garden the summers have been very wet. I am determined that this year we are going to get use of our outdoor space!

We do not have much planned for Sunday, but I do have to stock up the cupboards after being away, so a big food shop is required! I am hopeful that it is dry so that I can get my tomato and courgette plants out and start on getting some of my patio planter filled!
I hope everyone has a great weekend whatever your plans are!

Today I am wearing another new style from the delivery that came when I was on holiday. This tunic top is very comfy and lightweight and the differing textures make it nice and interesting!

Today's outfit is:

Black and grey crepe tunic - Vila
Black leggings - Primark
Black patent t-bar wedges - Barratts
Bangle - Primark
Shell ring - Street seller - Bahamas

Easter Weekend.

What a lovely weekend I have had - even though I was only off on Sunday! I thought I would share what I got up to!

On Saturday I was in work as usual, but it was a lovely bright spring day so it did not feel like a chore.
Before work on Saturday morning I was cleaning the shower after using and I slipped while getting into the cubicle and gave myself a nasty bang to the leg! I then stupidly wore wedge shoes and then stood for 7 hours - so Saturday evening was quiet. I made us some yummy chicken fajitas for dinner and we then lay along the sofa (me reading my book and my bf watching the football highlights). We then had a nice early night and a very restful sleep!

Sunday was a fantastic day! We woke early and walked (1.5miles each way) to the supermarket for the groceries for the week ahead, we then had breakfast together before I cleaned up the kitchen and my bf mowed the grass. It was then time for a quick shower and change for us both before we headed out to my bf's mum's house for Easter lunch with all of his family.
It was such a beautiful afternoon that we all sat outside eating.

The rest of the afternoon was spent spending time with my bf's family and playing in the sum with his young nephews.
After lunch we headed home to make the most of the beautiful day and get some jobs done in the garden. We managed to get some carrots and leeks planted in our veg patch - fingers crossed we get to eat what we grow! we moved a blackberry bush to a new position and we put the tomato and courgette plants (that I have grown from seed) into the greenhouse. We are also having a go at growing lettuce, rocket & marigolds!

The weekend was topped off my 2 of our very good friends coming to stay. We had a glass of wine the garden before heading out for a light dinner and a few drinks.
It was a lovely (very busy) day!

I hope that everyone had a lovely weekend!

Some pictures of what I have managed to grow so far!

Forgive me for this super casual outfit! I am not feeling the best (I have not been for a few days now) and I am only in work for the morning. I lots of errands to do when I finish and really if I am honest I just could not be bothered to think about what I was going to wear today.

I aim to have my errands done as quickly as possible so that I can get home get some cleaning out of the way and them cook up some meals for the coming week. I do hope at some point during the weekend to relax with my book and one of the muffins that I baked yesterday!

Yesterday was a beautiful day here - it was SPRING!! We got up early got the food shopping done quickly, had breakfast together, went and met family for coffee and catch up. The bf and I then went to feed the ducks (with our stale bread) and this was all before 1pm! After lunch we spent a fantastic few hours out getting out garden ready for all of the things that we have planned! I love days like that!

Today's outfit is:

Black skinny jeans - Primark
Grey bow detail knit - Vila
Black patent ballet flats - Old Navy

Aahh, in one hours time I will be finished work for the day and heading home (well after a few errands). My bf is away working all of this week, but this afternoon is the only real "free time" that I have. We are having a bonfire BBQ over the weekend, so I have lots to do and prepare between now and then!

This afternoon I am taking my sister to the garage where her car is to be fixed after an accident, I am then heading to a friends home to catch up over coffee (well tea in my case) I also have to post eBay items and do my food shopping. My aim is to have all of the above done before 3.30pm so that I can have a few nice hours to myself before heading out this evening to visit another friend! I get the feeling that I may have a more relaxing day if I stayed here?!

Saturday afternoon we headed to a Halloween party, we ended up being there for about 12 hours - it was such a lot of fun. I did not get a picture of me in my full costume (witch - original I know, I was working and had to go straight to the party so I went for the easy option) but this one was taken towards the end of the night!


Sunday was a lovely quiet day at home enjoying the lovely bright sunny (but cold) winters day. Other than doing some laundry (and getting out on the washing line to dry for the first time in weeks) we went a walk along the beach and really did nothing else!

Today's outfit is:

Skinny Jeans - Vila
White t-shirt - unknown brand
Cable knit hooded jumper - Hollister
Suede jacket - River Island
Leopard print beret - Oasis
Brown flat boots - Faith
