Added Extras #5

best uk bloggers

These weekly posts are all about the positive things that have made up my week. The happy added extras didn't come to me as easily this time as I had a truly stressful week at work and had little time for anything but going home and passing out from exhaustion. But there were some, and bloody good they were too. Positive mental attitude, people!


1) I went to the annual Musical Bingo Halloween Ball which is now a tradition amongst my friends. Me and my lovely Bangarang blogger BFFs all dressed as dead Mean Girls and won Best Team Effort! That's three years in a row of winning trophies for fancy dress!

2) I had hangover burritos with AJ and co for her birthday from Freebird in Shoreditch. Oh and a beer. That helped.

3) Me and Erica went to the lovely Laura's baby shower and it was so good to see her after many months. She's had a rough time with her pregnancy and I can't recommend her blog on her illness enough to understand what she's going through. As a woman who wants kids eventually, it has been totally eye opening and she is a total superhero. Erica even provided PROSECCO flavoured crisps for the occasion. I mean, M&S are clearly on crack this Christmas.

4) Halloween Pt II involved me and the boyfriend dressing up as the Wet Bandits from Home Alone. People were actually asking if they could take photos of us which was hilarious!

5) I went back to Body Attack for the first time since quitting smoking and it wasn't any easier BUT I actually didn't feel too bad. So that's a plus.

Like I said, not that much this week, but there's lots of exciting things in the pipeline hopefully, so watch this space - life should be getting interesting pretty soon.

    Bravo on finding happy little nuggets amidst the stress. And extra bravo on dressing as the Wet flipping Bandits. Inspired.

  5. I spotted those today actually, what is wrong with the world. Give me a pack of salt and vinegar any day. The Wet Bandits got a lot of attention that night, I was pretty damn pleased!

  8. Your Halloween costume is amazing! Not sure how I feel about alcohol flavoured crisps - I prefer mine as a complement to the alcohol itself! x
