December Review

Good morning my friends. 

How are you on what might be your first proper-back-to-normal-day!

I’m back to the gym this morning and am planning to lose the few lbs I’ve put on over the past weeks, which I’m really looking forward to doing.  I’m not worried at all as I knew 100% I’d put a bit of weight on. I know I’ve been eating lots of things I shouldn’t have - but really enjoyed doing it! lol. 

I’m taking the last of the decorations down today too. The house looks so bare and quite honestly sad, but I’m excited to think next year I’ll hopefully be in the new house so will have to see where I can put everything and more importantly if any of the garlands will have a suitable place!! ( My house has lots of wooden beams that can easily have hooks drilled into it. New house won’t have that!) Do you leave the festive decorations up for as long as possible or do you remove them at the earlier opportunity?

Now you know it’s the first Monday of the new month which makes way for the December Review let’s take a stroll down last month’s lane. 

Way back at the beginning of the month I was sharing a new pair of barrel leg trousers I found on Vinted. Head over to this post to read all about them. 

Arundel, West Sussex.

Good morning my lovelies. 

Hope you’re doing well. 

I’ve had a super weekend as I’ve been away overnight to stay in Arundel with David and our best friends. 

We try to get away before Christmas for a well deserved break, and also we exchange our secret santas! 

So after an early start on Saturday morning, we found ourselves in the little town of Arundel in West Sussex. We’d booked a hotel in the centre, which was surrounded by pubs, restaurants and coffee shops. Arriving earlier than check in, which was 3pm, we parked the car and did some wandering. The weather was awful and rained the whole time we were there bar a few windows when it had cleared, so we purposely timed pit stops in the shops and pubs when the rain fell. It worked out quite alright but I still was annoyed that I’d not take a coat with a hat or an umbrella! My scarf I’d taken helped but to be honest the rain played havoc with my hair as it wasn’t waterproof!
