Primark - Skirt, knit & Flats.

Hello my friends. 

How’s your weekend been?

Another chaotic one for me!

Friday I was back dancing. I’ve had three weeks off due to the Easter break so it was nice to get back into it. We’d chosen the cha cha cha, which was good fun. I picked up the steps easily and was soon dancing across the floor with a little sass and a lot of flair, even if I do say so myself!

Saturday I had a bit of a later start than the past few weeks - with a nice little lie in! I eventually got up to head down to clean the Airbnb before returning home to get ready to travel to London, bridesmaid dress shopping. My daughter got lots of ideas for colours and styles and all the bridesmaids came along too so we all got a good idea of what worked for their figures. It was a busy day that was quite tiring. We got home at a reasonable hour but still I felt knackered!

After the big ‘try on session’ we wanted food. We headed back to the main station and found a great venue opposite Victoria called the Market Halls. It’s full of individual eateries ranging from burgers, fried chicken, noodles, kebabs to name but a few. There was also live music and couple of bars along with a rooftop terrace - but cold for us but a fantastic atmosphere. I had a chicken burger and later picked up a cocktail can for the train journey home!

Hiya, how are you?

Hope all is well with you.

I've had a super fun weekend.

On Friday we finished off learning the quickstep.  It was a fun dance and I seemed to pick it up easily.  You can view me dancing with the teacher here, chuffed to have been chosen to have the steps video'd for everyone to practice at home. 

Didn't do much on Saturday just saw the grand-kids at various stages in the day.  David and I baby sat on the evening for my daughters four kids, they were all really good for us, although I did have a bit of a time trying to get my 8 month old grand-daughter to sleep.  I tried everything laying on the bed, cuddling her, rocking her and even let her older sister to try to settle her, I gave up in the end & gave her to hubby to try.  Guess what!  He only had her for about 2 minutes and she swiftly fell asleep on him!  Seems I'm losing my touch!

On Sunday I went to my grandson's first birthday party.  I can't believe how quickly the past year has gone, and he's growing up into a really cheeky chappie.  My daughter hired a local hall & some soft place pieces for all the kids to play on.  She also did some tasty party food, I adore little snacks like this and often eat way to much!  I seem to graze my way through the sausage rolls, sandwiches and crisps - not forgetting cakes too!  Max had a wonderful time as did all the other kids, I think the adults rather liked the bar too! 😉

Some items have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments.

At Home With ..... Gail - #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Welcome to you all.

Great to have you here today.

Just in time to find out a few little secrets and tips from another stylish blogger who I'm pleased to call my friend.  Yes there's another installment of my At Home With .... series.

This month I'm happy to welcome Gail who blogs at Is This Mutton to my post, scroll down to read all about her and her fashions. 

First a little about my week.  I took a trip to my local shopping outlet earlier on in the week and although I found a couple of pieces to add to my wardrobe i'm still a bit dismayed at the lack of clothes and shops around.  I am now having to admit defeat and resort to shopping online.  What I've decided to do is buy a few pieces and send back any I don't like/need.  It's just so time consuming isn't it?  Tell me, is it the way forward that would like or do you still yarn for shopping IRL?

Another long over due purchase I made this week is a new mattress.  Ours is years old and not at all comfortable so I've been doing a bit of reconnaissance over the past couple of weeks and managed to find (amid the maze of choices) a suitable replacement.

My #ootd yesterday was this one.  I shopped my wardrobe for this maxi skirt and knitted short sleeved jumper and it was perfect for the cooler day we had - still a sunny day but definitely Autumn has arrived!  I took my jean jacket with me but didn't need it as the tan knitwear keep me just the right temperature.  Catch my daily outfits on Instagram here.
