I had a great time on Saturday. My friend Steve came and picked me up and we drove off. I was a tiny bit worried because Steven is lovely but he can be very quiet at times and it feels a bit awkward, but I needn't have worried! He was great company on Saturday and we talked and laughed all day. We drove to The Fort which is a big kind of outdoor shopping centre/retail park in Edinburgh, and went to a couple of shops there. I was on a mission to get all 4 different shades of Nails Inc polish free with Glamour magazine and I was successful! I got 3 of them in Superdrug & the last one in Boots :) we then nipped to Ikea where we walked round for a while and spent ages smelling all the candles. We both came out with a bag full of them! After that we took a short drive to a lovely little pub called The Stables which was a proper old fashioned pub with a coal fire and we had lunch there. We drove back in to town after that and went round Sainsbury's, before he dropped me off home :)
After I got home me & bf went out to get Christmas decorations! :) we got everything we wanted. We came home to watch X Factor but didn't have a great night because the guy upstairs decided to have a party with a million people at it and blast his music :( hate hate hate hate.
On Sunday I got up early and went to a Spin class. I used to do them all the time when I was younger but gave them up years ago. It was tough but I really enjoyed myself and I'm looking forward to going to my next one. After that I met my friend Sam and we went for lunch, then viewed a couple of gyms in Edinburgh. I think will be joining Factory Gym, but we are trying to get a discount on the joining fee before we do it! xx
Evening :)
Last night I ended up in work until half past 7pm, after starting at half 8am. Shattered. I was waiting on briefing coming in for the next day, today.
This morning I was at the hospital for my heart <3 all seems to be fine! My heart scan was fine, heart is perfect. I do have some irregular beats, which are called ectopic beats, but everyone can occasionally get them, it's just that I seem to be getting loads. They don't do any harm. I'm going back in February for a check up but I'm sure it'll be fine! :)
After the hospital I headed to Stirling for a conference. I sat right up the back. I didn't choose to go, I had to accompany the boss. I was there for about 4 hours! Boredom!!! I played on my phone for a bit, but you can only do that for so long. I tried to listen to the speeches, but they were too boring. I nipped out a couple of times, pretending to go to the toilet, to go n read my magazine! A guy in front of me's mobile rang, REALLY loud, TWICE! It rang, so he ran out the room all embarrassed to take the call, came back in 2 mins later, and before he even sat down it rang again!! You'd think after the first time he'd have learned his lesson and put it on silent! I'm just glad it wasn't me. Although mine did vibrate very loudly a few times before I realised it was mine!
After I got back to Edinburgh, I went in to the office for an hour, then headed home for a quiet night in with bf!
Tomorrow, me & my friend and going a drive to Ikea and some other shops, and for lunch. We also have to go on a mission to find Glamour magazines, as I hear they are giving away Nails Inc and so I will need to get every shade they're doing it in of course. I kinda forgot about it, until bf mentioned it. He said "I didn't know if you were in to that kinda stuff" what, nail polish? Our fridge is full of it. It's going to be so difficult to get them all. I take it he forgot when we were running round London this summer trying to get all the different free Benefit things with Glamour, or running round Manchester last year trying to get all the free Nails Inc stuff they did in November last year. Oh well, fingers crossed we can find them all tomorrow.
Sunday, I am doing my first Spin class in years! Then meeting another friend and going to see a couple of gyms, and for lunch.
Also buying Christmas decorations with bf somewhere in amongst all of the above :) xx
It's cold tonight, eh?! I just made me & boyfriend hot chocolate to heat us up. Orange hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. Mmmmmmmm!
I felt like crap yesterday. I just didn't feel good at all and was miserable. I perked up a bit later on though and I was fine today, but now I am shattered! Can't wait for bed but I think it's a little early yet! Hopefully a good sleep will sort me out.
I was on a management course today. Day 1 of 2 so I'm back tomorrow. We have been put in groups and we all have a project to manage. My group have to make a video about how to deal with "difficult situations". Yes you read that right, a video, not a dvd, because of cut backs! Bit nervous about how that's going to turn out, especially as I'm going to be in the video, eeeeeeeeek! I do like these training courses though, I like a change of scenery and I like meeting new people. And anything's better than sitting at your desk, right? As I said, I'm going to be in the video, so I have to think carefully about what to wear tomorrow....... hmmmmmm.
I really need to start exercise again. I'm either going to start going to Zumba, or Spin. What do you think? I used to do Spin aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the time when I was younger and loved it. Never done Zumba before but I hear such good things about it. I think I'll try a Zumba class first. Could probably do them both :) think I will start with a Zumba class next Monday night.
