Printing Hipstamatic

Finally getting around to printing some of the many photos that I've taken with Hipstamatic - my fav app!

Rest day

2012-03-07T15:00:00.000Z

This is one of my two days that I've got off from the gym, so I'm making the most of it. I'm going to have a suuuper lazy evening - yeay! And eat some popcorn - double yeay!

Finally also booked some tickets for Crufts & Discover Dogs (held in Birmingham) for this Saturday. We're going with Craig and Prue (who are interested in buying a dog) - so excited! I remember when we went two years ago, before Arnie, and how overwhelmed I was by all of the merchandise on display. Therefore I can't wait to buy some new stuff for the BEST dog in the world!

Dry hands

2012-03-05T20:55:00.001Z

I always have suffered from dry hands during the colder winter months and this has been a savour remedy - badger cuticle cream! Get it folks

Wow what a day I've had. Can't comment on it, but you're just going to have to trust me. It's been major.

Anyhow. Went to the gym, cleaned our house, ate and then I got my nails done! Gemma is the best, I'm going to go more often.

Now I'm watching Kim & Kourney on E! and enjoying a cuppa - chai tea is the best!

Gym routine

2012-03-05T07:05:00.001Z

I'm back in the game. Have started a new regime at the gym and I love it! It focuses on fat burn and is so easy to do. It was after looking at pics from our wedding that I really felt focused to start toning up again. For me it's never been about loosing weight, more about building muscle and toning. Going to the gym straight after work and then as my monthly treat I'll finally get to sort my nails out at Gemma's - she does the best gel nails ever!

On my way home

2012-03-03T15:01:00.001Z

Spent a lovely 5 hours with mum in London. Skipped the Scandi-kitchen, will make an online delivery instead. Mum had bought me some Swedish sweets so I'll survive for the minute. Loving the sunshine, spring is in full force!

Saturday morning

2012-03-03T07:23:00.001Z

Have been up for an hour already. Made myself a lovely breakfast and a big Sanesso - in true weekend spirit! Frazer's playing golf and I'm going to go into the city to meet mum. I'm also going to swing by the Scandi kitchen when I'm in Oxford circus and stock up on Swedish goods. I hope you'll have a lovely one!

Bring back sunshine!

2012-03-02T22:14:00.001Z

I want a holiday!!!!! So badly!!!

All well!

2012-03-02T21:55:00.001Z

Man, it's been a busy week at work so no time for the gym, which sucks! I'm going this weekend though - twice!
We had international visits from Sweden at work, one of which was my mum! Must admit it was so surreal walking around with her and her colleague at work. Tomorrow I'm catching up with her in the city before she jets home. Every hour I get to spend with her is lovely!

Then I was observed at work, which also created extra work - yuk! But the observation went really well :) Super pleased!

Also, thought I'd show what I bought the other day in the shop - anemones. Originally I wanted these in our wedding bouquets, but since it's a spring flower they were not stock. I'm going to keep replacing these all throughout spring, I simply love them!

Observation

2012-03-02T07:27:00.001Z

I'm being observed today, fingers crossed!

Sunshine

2012-02-27T08:23:00.001Z

Some pics from yesterday. The sunshine was simply lovely.

Two pics from my day yesterday. I love this app...and ice cream!

A conversation

2012-02-26T08:38:00.001Z

Frazer's left the house for another wedding fair and Arnie misses him already. I've told him that he needs to let his food rest for a little bit longer before we can go out for a walk.
He's really not happy about that decision. Oh well. Frazer won't be long and the walk, which we eventually will take, will do him some good, so that's that. End of conversation.

Segway!

2012-02-26T08:32:00.001Z

Yesterday I did something that I've never done before, went on an off road Segway rally! I had been dreading it all week but it was so much fun. We all fell over at one point, but luckily for me I only had to step of the segway, so my "fall" was the most graceful ;) After that adventure we then had a stroll in Windsor, looked that the castle and had some lunch, before we had to head back found time for a house viewing - a perfect day!

Back in the game

Walking dead season 2, new episodes!

I'm hooked

2012-02-24T20:41:00.001Z

Two gifts from my lovely sister. A book and a pair of beautiful earrings. She got them for me the earrings for my birthday the boom for xmas. The earrings I've worn nearly everyday, I absolutely love them! With my sis being in NYC until the summer it makes me feel like I'm a bit closer to her :) The book she got me I haven't been able to start until the other night. I read the first chapters and was hooked. It is super scary and I ended up having a lot of nightmares... It's even scarier than the Hypnotist that I read on honeymoon. Might need to put it in the freezer :)

Forgot to show

2012-02-24T20:30:00.001Z

Some pics from Sweden. I had such a lovely time. I renewed my passport - (Mrs D at last), catching up with Sandra (lovely), reading books for Filippa (I'd love to be a mum!), meeting Nicki (she's tiny!), celebrating my grandad (he turned 84, but does not look older than 73!) and then of course spending a lot of time with my mum and dad just being us (amazing!)

The weekend has begun!

2012-02-24T20:23:00.001Z

Been a bit quiet this week, I know. Things are a bit hectic with our house hunt and being back at work in full force has taken its toll on me. I have to admit that the 18 degree spring sunshine this afternoon and a 40min walk with Arnie, before cleaning the house, did the trick. It's such a great feeling, walking. Quickly and with a purpose. Arnie is next to me the whole time, such a gem.

Back at work!

2012-02-20T22:14:00.001Z

Came back from Sweden last night, will do a longer update tomorrow - so check in then. Arnie and I are on the same level, this is how my head feels at the moment.

Off to Sweden

2012-02-16T14:17:00.002Z

Wearing my Boomerang jacket (which normally is tucked away in my closet), my UGGs, gloves, hat and all the rest of it, I'll be boarding a flight tonight to Eskilstuna, Sweden. Really look forward to spending some quality time with my parents, have a good catch up chat with Sandra, renew my passport (I'm finally becoming Mrs Duffy!) and maybe having a 'semla' (yum!).

I wanna be...

2012-02-15T14:56:00.001Z

...Like this lady when I'm her age. Siobhan is 91 and works her iPad better than most. She also view clips from her iPad on her TV, just cause she can. Love her!

Healthy week

2012-02-15T14:18:00.004Z

I must admit, I've been so healthy this week. This week so far has consisted of lots of long walks with Arnie, a gym visit nearly every day and a lot of healthy food. On top of it all I've also started taking some multivitamin tabs. It's doing the trick, I feel great.

Arnie and myself in Non Such

This half-term, for me, was all about getting back into my normal routine again. Eating well, exercising and doing things that I enjoy and that give me energy. I didn't have a great start to the year, had to eat antibiotics (again), had a massive cold etc etc and therefore I felt that it was really important to take care of myself this break.

Today's lunch:

Tuna salad, crisp bread with humous and some papaya.

Forgot to share

2012-02-14T17:37:00.001Z

Before I began my half-term holiday on Friday I received these flowers and lovely 'Thank you' card (and box of chocolates) from a class at work. I've worked my behind off during the past 4 weeks at work. I have felt really proud of myself for keeping it all together, staying happy and working my hardest to keep morale up in all of our groups - but to then receive a lovely written card and some sweets and lovely flowers, well that just simply made me want to weep. I didn't though, however I did feel my cheeks getting really warm, as did my heart! I've got the best students!

Happy V-day!

2012-02-14T17:32:00.001Z

Finally got to buy one of those Valentine's husband cards - Woohoo! Had lunch out together and are cooking up a third course one tonight and dusting off one of the nicer wines - bliss!
