Saturday Selections 18.09.15

Watching: Fear the Walking Dead - only watched one episode so far, it's good...but frustrating. I feel like it's happening in current times yet no one seems to know what a zombie is...EVERYONE knows what a zombie is!!!

Listening: Podcasts, a whole buncha different ones, but Grace Helbig is always a good idea!
  
Reading: Emails - clearing out my personal inbox has proved to be a total nightmare. Who needs an email from the GAP from 2012? Apparently I do.

Wishing: For a new phone, mine is donezo. Thought by taking all my pics off it would sort itself out, turns out it hates everything still! Do I get an iPhone? I dunno. I need something that works though.

Loving: My hubs! together for SEVEN YEARS. Which feels like basically forever.

Doing: Going to the Rugby today in Cardiff - GO CANADA!!!

Making: Labels and space we bought clear boxes and we have a mission to start getting the loft organised.

Eating: As many meals together as a fam as much as possible...it's not easy and not as relaxing as having adult dinners - but I valued this time with my family as a child and as I'm home earlier now we have the opportunity to do this which is really lucky!

Saturday Selections 12.09.15

Watching: The Americans - LOVE this show so much. Keri Russell is absolutely perfect in this role.

Listening: Finally have a radio on at work...I love having a soundtrack to the day!
  
Reading: Recipes, we've got about a bajillion apples to do something with.
So reading up on all the options beyond pie, crumble and sauce!

Wishing: For some new black ankle boot things..I need to do some research and a proper wishlist for these.

Loving: My car - but I wish I was a more confident driver here! I can do my commute without totally freaking out now (four days in a row!)

Doing: Learning how to drive on the wrong side of the road - I didn't properly realise how much it would mess with me! And roundabouts! WTF?!?!

Making: My Mom is sending me a recipe for apple butter - going to try to do that on Sunday!

Eating: Roast dinners - had our first one last Sunday and loads of leftovers all week. So there it is prematurely or not, roast season has started!

Saturday Selections 22.08.15

Watching: The Fall – Gillian Anderson OMG total babe. Plus it’s on the edge of your seat and brain engaging mystery stuff – loving it!!!

Listening: Would you judge me if I said the Magic Mike XXLSoundtrack? No? Good!
  
Reading: Martha Stewart Living!!! My perfect sistor brought a mag over for me and I am in HEAVEN.

Wishing: Grey skinnies, motorcycle boots and chunky knits – uhm hello? This weather has got me all AUTUMN IS HAPPENING!!! Even though it is totally still August and I’m not ready….I AM NOT READY.

Loving: I bought this ridiculous candle from Zara home and I’m in love.(*update it's not there anymore...this one is similar but mine is all gold and croc skin textured)

Doing: Hanging with my sis – we’re parking and shopping and day drinking and sun bathing and it’s all sorts of fabulous to have her here.

Making: Getting decorations ready for the baptism party on Sunday.  

Eating: Chia pudding – based off of Deliciously Ella’s version. Sprinkling flax seeds etc. on top and whatever berries are to hand. It’s YUM.

Saturday Selections 15.08.15

Watching: GBBO is BACK! YAY! Love it big time. I think I’m going to be firmly rooting for the Fireman – he’s hilarious!

Listening: The wheels on the bus. Honestly – we sing this song ALL THE TIME. So I’m balancing it with some James Bay as this weather is making me melancholy.  

Reading: All the light we cannot see – literally started it today, so no opinion yet…will update accordingly!  

Wishing: For a suitable dress to wear to a baptism. I cannot find a bloomin thing that fits the bill. White jeans, flats and flowy tops abound but not a single approp dress for a baptism. Lame.

Loving: My new mascara – Bourjois volume glamour push up – it’s been on for seven hours and not a crumb or an itchy eye. Plus it kind of smells like roses…and its totes cheap.

Doing: Prepping for a VIP guest – getting the house sorted for my gorgeous sister who arrives on Thursday! Also trying to make space for our new (to us) tumble dryer. Never in my life did I think this was going to be something I thought was a treat. But HALLELUJAH!

Making: Total GBBO inspo – doing some baking this weekend. Haven’t decided what, but something, feels ages since I baked,

Eating: Not greatly I must admit. With so much going on it’s been a week of ‘what’s in the freezer, what can we make with what’s still in date in the fridge’ and ‘how many take-aways is too many’ NAUGHTY. Must do better.

Watching: Wall-e – HOW, HOW have I not seen this?? Defo not hangover friendly but such a sweet movie with all the feels…

Listening: New Mumford and Sons – different to old Mumford and Sons and I like it!

Reading: Contracts and work stuff – so boring.

Wishing: For summer to come back. Where has it gone? This new weather is craptastic.

Loving: My Ban.do planner – never been as excited for a random day (27 July Holla!) in my life.

Doing: Birthday celebrations kick off for the hubs on Saturday, mixed with leaving do’s and other life stuff…all of the tiny humans activities are done for the summer now though, so we’ve regained a TON of weekend time. YAY! 

Making: Space, clearing up and trying to get organised. IT’S SO HARD.
 
Eating: Made a killer chili with spicy peppers from Sous Chef – delicious.
