This Weeks Happiness List


Happy Easter Sunday everyone. I hope your day is filled with chocolate, family time and happiness. With it being the Easter holidays, I am home for a few weeks, and looking forward to spending time with my family and KG friends, as well as earning some money working. 
After a celebration packed weekend, I returned to Liverpool on Sunday night for a week of training (more on that later!), before making the trip back down South again for Easter!

1. Dining out with Anna and Becky on Monday night at Bistro Jacques. With us all staying in Liverpool to train for our competition at the end of the week, we decided to treat ourselves to a meal out. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, with friendly staff and delicious dishes. Unfortunately, we skipped with 2 courses and a bottle of wine for £16.95 due to aforementioned training, but will definitely be taking up this offer soon!

2.  Enjoying a cocktail at Revolutions on the Albert dock, looking across the dock and sipping on a raspberry & basil mojito, what more could you wish for.

3. Celebrating 4 years with James. Although we couldn't be together on the day, it made me really happy to wake up to a phone call from James on Wednesday to wish me a happy anniversary, and thankfully we have been able to spend this weekend together! Here is to four more years!

4. BCA Nationals Cheer and Dance competition on Thursday, which saw my team and I win our category (Jazz dance), making us National Champions. The day was wonderful, and obviously coming away with the top prize and a HUGE trophy topped it all off.

5. M&S Easter eggs. As I am back working at the M&S Nottingham store for Easter, I have been enjoying looking at all the amazing Easter treats. The eggs are really phenomenal this year, some of them are like works of art! I hope to get one for a bargain next week to try!

April Wish List


I love April. As well as being a month full of flowers, lambs and blossom, it also includes Easter! Easter is like a mini, less stressful Christmas. It is a time to see family and friends and enjoy the little things in life, including some chocolate, of course! April is set to be a busy month for me, which makes it even more exciting!

A Weekend at Home

After celebrating Emma and Ellen's birthdays on Friday night, I hopped on the train back home for the night. My flying visit home was in honour of celebrating my Grandparents golden wedding anniversary on Sunday. I admire them both for making it to 50 years of marriage, it really is a feat!

Before the celebrations began on Sunday, my Mum organised a 'safari supper' at home. The concept is simple, each couple prepares a course, but it must be kept top secret until the food is served. You then score each other and the winner is crowned at the end!

Naturally, we started with champagne and olives.

This Weeks Happiness List


It is officially spring time. The clocks have gone forwards and this evening at 7pm it was still light outside! University has ended for the Easter break and I have officially booked my graduation in July which is a very scary thought. Here are the things which have made me happy this week-

This Weeks Happiness List


The past week has mainly consisted of me sitting in the library trying desperately to get my thoughts to form a decent enough argument for my Philosophy essay. After handing it in Thursday evening, I felt that oh so brilliant sense of relief. I now only have 2 more coursework assessments to go before the revision starts for finals, scary stuff! I am spending the weekend at home, which always makes for a good time. In fact, I am currently sat watching the rugby with James by my side getting frustrated with England's performance so far!
