This Halloween, this is Halloween....

I must admit this year my husband and I have not done anything exciting for Halloween...AT ALL. Usually we dress up and get right in to the spirit but this year we have been to busy to do anything. Andy ran the great south run yesterday (Very proud of him) and on Saturday we both worked and then got inked. Andy had his first tattoo and I took great pleasure in sitting there and watching him wince!

Tonight we will be plonking ourselves infront of the TV and eating gingerbread ghosts and munching on toffee apples <3

 

So proud of him running 10 miles, I bought him a Halloween cookie bouquet hehe.

Happy Friday!

It's nearly Halloween, not that we are doing anything interesting, I am happy to stay & watch scary movies and eat toffee apples & sweets!

This week I got my new glasses!!! I obviously have expensive taste and went with one of the most expensive in the opticians, but I can't turn down Dior :(

I don't have much going on this weekend but my husband is running the great south run on Sunday which is 10 miles, i don't know how he does it...I can't even make it to a mile and a half!

Thought instead of posting about my weekend in iphone pics, I'd do it about my week instead.  Oh and I also lost a pound at Weight Watchers, could of done better but seeing as I ate out 3 times that week I am happy with that!

Stew my work colleague trying on my glasses on his pea head!

TIME TO LOOSE WEIGHT

One of my goals on my list of 50 was to loose some weight, I am such a yo yo dieter it's unreal! My friend and I have decided to join Weight Watchers to do something about staying at a healthy weight. Dieting is seriously the bane of my life, i'm always thinking...I shouldn't be eating that or I shouldn't of eaten that! So stressful! But yes back to Weight Watchers, I managed to loose a pound in my first week...not exactly brilliant but at least it was something. Fingers crossed for more next week :)

On a happy note, I got a new iphone case <3

my friends shoot at the weekend

I love these guys <3

my weekend in iphone pics!

I had a really busy weekend... On Saturday I got my eyes tested, visited some charity shops, bought a bright yellow shirt that hurts my eyes. Bought new Dior glasses which I get on Tuesday :) I went out on our speedboat and froze my butt off, sea water in your mouth does not taste good. We relaxed in the evening with a mcdonalds NOM. On Sunday I had two photo shoots - really loving my clients at the moment and then we collected an early xmas present for our niece and nephews, a 12 ft trampoline, they are loving it!

I really need to take more pictures of other people, they just seem to be of me!

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO LATELY....IN PICS warning picture heavy!

I've been feeling a little under the weather over this weekend, with a cold! I know, it's just a cold but I am such a baby when it comes to them, my eyes swell and itch and I mope around like it's the end of the world. I'm back at work now with a cracked sore nose and a cough...wish I was still in bed. - anyway that's enough of my moaning.

Over the weekend we saw family, mainly the sister in law and her new babba! He's so adorable <3 We took our niece bowling as it was her birthday...I would just like to add that I won a game! Woo Hooo!
We went to a country park, we pigged out just a little and I slept quite a bit as well!

I also took a lot of photos of myself....I apologize, i've become a little obsessed with Instagram!

Just because.....

this is my new favourite photo of my tattoo :)

WEEKEND CATCH UP ....

I got my fifth tattoo done on Saturday, a peony on my inner upper arm, it was so painful it felt like I was having my arm pit tattoo'd at one point. The photo's don't really show it that well but it's a pinky, orange colour. 

I also relaxed and went out for dinner with my husband on the Sunday :) ♥ perfect weekend. 

A night with...

my friend. We always have the best times, we may not see each other often but when we do we giggle and eat lots! It's so much fun! Before I was married we were inseparable, we were diet buddies, dancing buddies, exercise buddies and more! She's always there to do my hair and make up for me. She did my wedding hair for me :) She is just an all around great friend! Love you! :)

 we managed to get my hair in to a bow

 she has the best nails ever!

My niece and nephew are the sweetest

So i have a really big family now what with being married. But today I am just mentioned my niece and nephew, All together I think i have 3 nieces - Olivia, Lauren and the new member of the gang Maya Lee and I have7 nephews (oh gawd I hope I haven't forgotten any one), Emerson, Max, Bradley, Alfie, Tylor, Kai and Presley.

Lauren and Bradley went to Egypt with their dad and were the sweetest and bought me back a couple of pressies! I can't believe they even think about me or their uncle whilst away on holiday! Makes me smile real big!

 Lauren bought me the green and yellow bracelet

collector of...errr tattoo's?

I love tattoo's, i have since i was young. Someone at school had one and I remember constantly asking her to show it to me. No one in my immediate family have any, my grandparents hate them!... well i have 4. Soon to be 5 :) although one i had covered...but you can still kinda see it so i will keep it at 4.

I recently read on one of my favourite blogs about how she feels about being a tattoo'd mum and how people judge her without even knowing her. I will have two tattoo's on the inside of my arm (from Saturday), now these will be my only visible ones...what annoys me is that people feel they can tell me that they don't like my art work without me even asking their opinion.  If I like something pretty and want it on me forever that's my choice surely...?

 

 

 

i will update with new pictures once i've had my other done :)
