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!

Weekly Roundup 03/03/13: Birthdays, Brighton, & Bruises


So this week was far more eventful than last.
It kicked off with a series of all nighters to get an ethics essay done which nearly killed me.
But then the week got a whole lot more fun since it was my former housemate's 21st.
Only done went to Brighton didn't we!
The Girls and I were there from Thursday to Saturday and got up to all sorts of mischief.
On Thursday night alone I successfully managed to:

  • Make friends with a fabulous guy who told me I smell nice in the cloakroom queue
  • Slip over at least 20 times and bust up my knee hilariously (it's got such an ugly purpley/yellowish bruise right now)
  • Dance to the Harlem Shake and Thrift Shop like a crazy person
And best of all:
  • LEAVE WITH £40 STILL LEFT IN MA PURSE 
The next day consisted of more drinking, partying, and takeaway food, leading to a very hungover 2 and a half hour train ride home on Saturday.

Now as far today goes, I slept in till 11 which was sooo needed and then went to town to go grab some bits for the care package I'm making my lovely mummy for Mother's Day.
And about 3 hours ago I enjoyed an amazing roast dinner.
I bought the £3.50 Roast Chicken Joint from Iceland and oh my lord is was so buttery and delicious.
Plus now I've got loads of leftover chicken for tomorrow. Bargain!

Hope everybody else has had lovely weeks and I'll see y'all real soon.
It's so good to be blogging again!

Weekly Roundup 24/02/13: Sunday Sickness


So I am ill...
I'm sure it's just a cold/sore throat, and while I'm not one for theatrics I'm fairly certain I'm dying.
How can a nose be bunged up AND runny at the same time body???

But anyway It's been reading week at uni this week so no lectures!

A brief summary of what I got up to:


  • Went out for lunch/shopping with the Powells on Saturday & then spent the weekend at home.
  • HOLIDAY PLANNING!!
  • Ate every single packet of crisps/chocolate/sweet things I could find while enjoying the free heating at home
  • Went back to my uni house where it is cold, sad & where all the assignments I have to do live
  • Night out in LDN with my girl Wyona, although it was really crap and dead in the club we went to so stayed for a few complimentary cocktails then got 20 McNuggets & the last train back
  • 7am train back to Gillingham on Friday mildly hungover, intended to do a bunch of work, but instead made pasta bake and sat in bed watching Suits

Friday night was also when I realised I might be getting ill so I poured a lot of tea, lemsip and ovaltine down my throat in an attempt to cure myself.
On Saturday I woke up and couldn't breathe out of either of my nostrils, and had to become the oh so sexy mouth breather I am at this current moment...mehhhhh

Thanks for stopping by now :)
