Hello September

So my wish was answered (kinda) and we've finally had some decent weather in August.

I've been soaking up the sun in the back garden and am pleased to report that my previous paleness has been replaced by a healthy summer glow :-)

In between sun sessions and work, the last few weeks have been spent catching up with friends, visiting family and making the most of being home before I head back to uni at the end of September.

I'm sure this summer break has been competing in the Olympics because at the speed it's flown by it definitely deserves a gold medal :-/

How was your August? Anything good planned for the month ahead?

Hola August

Well hello there August

Am I the only one who feels like we haven't actually had a proper summer yet?

The few days of sun - aka the mini 'heatwave' - were nice, but is that all? really?

I'm now back home in Northampton until September, and am loving being back in my old bedroom with my nice biiig bed, and of course being around my friends, family and favourite staffy puppy again :-)

I've just started my summer bar job which is pretty cool, even if I'd rather be chilling at home watching tv - that online shopping addiction ain't gonna fund itself :-(

Anyway here's a 'lil summary of July... 

Have a great month!

August

After a wet, washed-out August bank holiday weekend it feels as though summer is officially over. September 1st marks the start of Autumn and I can't help but feel as though we've been robbed of a proper summer.

Weather aside August has been pretty fun and I've been enjoying spending time back home. I decided to go for the chop and had my hair cut into a lob (long bob) which has taken some getting used to - but was definitely a much needed change.

The past month has consisted of lots of catch up with friends and family, doing a carboot sale, looking after Ralph (the little monster) and enjoying the sunshine we have had with plenty of walks, chilling in the garden and a going to a mini local festival.

Its now only a matter of weeks before I'll be heading back to Nottingham to start my second year of uni (seriously where have the holidays gone?!) so I'll definitely be making the most of my free time before the hard work commences.

What did you get up to in August? Any last minute summer holidays planned?

July

Another month over... only 4 months until Christmas!! *eek*

We are bang in the middle of summer and although the weather has been a little hit and miss I have enjoyed the little bit of sunshine we have had.

This month I said goodbye to my old uni flat and moved back home for summer. 

Home cooked food, a double bed and no laundry = heaven!

I have been back for 2 weeks and so far, so good, although knowing me it won't be long until I'm pining for my own space and counting down the days until I'm living alone again!

Last weekend we welcomed a new member to the family... meet Ralph the staffy!

He is an adorably cheeky bundle of joy and truly lives up to the name 'Wreck it Ralph', but we are in love with him and can't picture life without him now he's here.

As well as being licked, bitten and chewed to death, I have been enjoying long walks in the park, spending time with family and relaxing as much as possible before the hard work commences in September.

Over the next few weeks I plan to do more catching up with family and friends as well as taking part in my share of the puppy duty.

What have you been up to this month? Any exciting plans for August?
