Pay day treats....

So we went to The Bulls Head in Repton for tea last night and had a beautiful pizza (below):

This was called the Geneva which consisted of pepperoni, red onion, ham, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms. Very tasty!

Before we went out I had a little pamper session. I dyed my hair and painted my nails. The products I used are these (below)

The hair dye was from the staff shop for £1 from what I can remember, The little no7 varnish is from a mini set I bought reduced in the Christmas sales. The base coat is a rimmel brand so my nails don't stain and then the seche vite that everyone has gone mad on is the top coat. I can see why everyone has gone mad its quick drying and your nails don't chip for days! I did an extra coat when I got out the shower so lets see how long it lasts!

Today I met with some friends in town, I went in with the attitude I would not be buying any clothes because I want to drop a dress size at least! I was defeated there were too many nice clothes to not get a couple of things. I have been after a pinafore dress for ages for work and also for casual. I managed to get a denim one but wanted a material black one for work. That hunt will have to continue for a black one! I also bought a black dress and some long sleeved tops to go under the denim dress. I also picked up some cheap my little pony slippers reduced to £2 from £5! Here are the clothes I purchased:

I then nipped in to Lush and took my 5 used pots back to get a free pot of face mask. I will be using that later and having a relaxing bath. I know their products are expensive but they last for ages and when you get free goodies why not! Their products are vegan friendly and no bad chemicals . I popped in to Boots to get some more cotton pads and found a health food section they are promoting at the moment. They had my favourite meridian almond butter. They also had cashew butter and crunchy peanut butter so thought what the hell. I decided to try a few new things now I'm trying to find a healthy balance. I also had a lot of points on my advantage card so didn't actually pay for these products with cash:

I am back home and tired as normal. Off food shopping tomorrow night so I will be making mostly healthy choices for the week. Monday is only a few hours away...so lets smash this week.

See ya

Lazy Ass Saturday

My Saturday morning hadn't started off well. I woke up with stomach cramps...probably had something to do with eating half a large domino's pizza with a side of wedges and 2 cookies last night! It was much needed as I felt deflated due to Sam not getting the job he went for and the fact it was dragged out for over a week. I believe everything happens for a reason and I believe he will find a better job! Yes I am an emotional eater, anything can trigger it really... any excuse!

So after sitting on the toilet a few times this morning I had a hifi bar (slimming world cereal bar) and cuppa tea and started making the food shopping list for the week. Yes I plan what meals we are going to have for the week so we don't over spend and buy lots of rubbish, we don't like wasting food! We both want to be healthier (some days) so the list is pretty healthy this week! 

We decided to go to Chilwell Retail Park and see if we could find a cat toy tray thing I saw someone post on instagram. We couldn't find it so I ended up coming out with two sets of new PJ's. I don't want to buy any more clothes as I want to obviously lose weight so I thought id treat myself to some bed wear as they can be baggy! I took a photo of them (below)

The set with birds on is a brand called Fairy Dust which is a brand made for TKMAXX I believe? they cost me £15. The long bed shirt is a DKNY one reduced to £10. The shirt is more for warmer nights but I can swear some skinny PJ bottoms with it while it is colder. I saw a lovely Fioreli hand bag but Sam would kill me as I have loads of bags and the fact I don't want to blow my wages. 

We are saving as much as we can right now so we can buy a house and also have a nice holiday away in October. We are currently living in a flat/ apartment above an unused shop. It was nice when we moved in Dec 2014 but since then we have had mould issues and fallen out of love with it and its killing me not having a garden. We viewed a lovely house to rent last weekend and had an update to say they are still waiting for one person to view it and then they will decide as its private rental. We are keeping our fingers crossed as we want to live somewhere lovely while we save! 

My husband Sam and I are currently in bed again for a lazy Saturday afternoon. We are off to the Bulls Head in Repton tonight with my sister and partner. We will be having home made pizza which will not be healthy. I am slowly learning to balance the good food with the bad. Tomorrow I will be mainly on the healthy food as I have consumed too much bad over the last few days and I am feeling pretty rubbish. I will post another blog/review of the Bulls Head in Repton in the next few days as we haven't had pizza there before!

Final thing of the day.., I am going back to red. I bought a red hair dye from the staff shop a few weeks ago and I am ready for a hair colour change as I cant do a lot else with it while I am trying to grow it again. I will get out bed shortly and put the dye on and paint my nails as I have let myself go lately with the beauty things. 

Have a fabulous Saturday night
