Weekly Roundup 24/03/13: All Grown Up



So there was no weekly roundup last week as I had 2 assignments due. Both of which I failed to start until the week before they were due. Yes, I'm a terrible student, I know.

After my sleep deprived self recovered from said assignments, it was time to get packed up & ready to go home to the Powell Cave for my baby sister's birthday and the final stages of holiday prep.

Obviously the biggest event of the week was Sophie's 18th, which took place on the Friday. Still can't believe that she can now legally go out in to pubs and clubs and get herself a drink.
Naturally as the older sibling I was responsible for taking her out to get her first drink, but before that it was off out for the traditional Powell family birthday meal at Simply Blues.
After an amazing meal it was back home for a quick change and touch up and then off the pub!
I think I gave her a good first night out on the town with the help of some of her friends and luckily escaped without too bad of a hangover on Saturday (although the cooked breakfast & Domino's we had probably helped there).

And as for today it has mostly consisted of holiday sorting, aka me pairing down my clothes so as not to pack my entire wardrobe, and the standard Sunday roast.
As I said before, I shall be working on some posts relating to holiday, travel checklists and the like, so stick around and as always thanks for reading.

Ciao for now!

Lots of stuff to talk about today! Been rather busy.

Well we might as well start with what I wore as I went about my business today...


(I apologise for the quality, using my iPod as camera was out of battery)

My first stop of the day, at the ridiculously early time of 7.45am was a trip to see Dr B, my doctor (obviously)
about a persistent sore throat/cough I've had. Got to make sure I'm well for uni and all that.
Now I do love my doctor, and being the lovely man that he is he gave me a full checkup as well since I knew I would be off to uni.
Although he did say something funny about my weight (apparently my bmi was a bit on the fence between normal and underweight or something), about how I should be sure to have plenty of dairy and cheese so I can be a strong mother to my future children. Although totally bizarre, It did make me laugh.

Anyway I got given clean bill of health along with some basic antibiotics to deal with my sore throat/cough.

After that it was off into town to pick up, believe it or not, MORE stuff for uni!
I swear I'll never remember it all.

Along with all my uni bits and pieces I also picked up a new book for myself (just finished One Day by David Nicholls, and I totally recommend it as it's absolutely wonderful) as well as a new 3/4 sleeve navy striped tee.

 New book. Delirium by Lauren Oliver.


And new stripy tee (it's navy even though it looks more like black in this photo)

Now the bit I'm actually the most excited about sharing. While we were in town my dad phoned up to tell my some very important news...


THAT MY UNI ENROLMENT PACK HAD FINALLY ARRIVED!

Such exciting times! What was even more exciting however is that a couple of hours ago I got my email from accommodation confirming that I have somewhere to live!
Apologies for all the exclamation marks but I'm just so excited about everything. It's like it's all real now that I'm enrolled and know I have somewhere to live.

Ohhhhhh less than a month until I go!!!

So today I popped into town with my mother, originally to exchange some bits.
But it turned into shopping for some of my uni stuff.
Since it was a nice warm sunny day, I decided to wear my little black patterned tea dress with a skinny belt round the middle.

Now onto what I (or rather my mum & dad) bought:

 So we've got; an iron, a 12 piece teal dining set, a spotty laundry bag, 2 teal cups...

DSCF0927
...and a clothers airer.

Contain your excitement please!

While being rather boring essentials purchases, they did all come to under £40.
iron - £5
dinner set - £12 (reduced from £20)
laundry bag - £4
2 mugs - £2 (£1 each)
clothes airer - £14

Although there is still lots more to get, picking up these first few bits has really made in sink in that I'm leaving home in a little over a month.
