So on Wednesday Green sent me a text at lunch time to see if I fancied going out for dinner, well its Wednesday of course I'm up for dinner. So after a quick phone call we decided it would be rude not to do Orange Wednesdays and as she had a voucher for money off food we decided to break with routine and go to Giraffe for dinner rather than Nandos.
I must say that food was lush and not all that badly priced either. I had chicken wings to start and thought it would be best to try and eat them with a knife and fork but after half of the first one gave up and resorted to eating with my fingers. Sometimes there is just no place for being elegant while you eat. I had a chicken Schnitzel bacon burger for main. Yum Yum!! I will most certainly go back. It was a nice atmosphere and the decoration was nice. Although I love Nandos, it is always nice to have a bit of variety in life.
We decided to go and see the Kings Speech, see if it lived up to all the hype and award nominations. Thankfully we managed to get through the ice cream queue without Emily ripping another £5 note like she did on our last visit. There was however some confusion regarding the screens. We were in screen 1 and there was a huge queue going right out of the door which we believed to be for our screen so we stood in the foyer with our ice cream for 15 mins until we discovered the queue was in fact for a different screen!! Fail!! Whilst standing eating our ice cream, which half way through defeated me, possibly due to too much chocolate I managed to spill some down my purple coat. I really cannot be trusted.
The film was very good. It isn't a comedy but there were some good comedy moments. I am a bit of a history fan so films about things that actually happened do interest me. Colin Firth certainly deserves his awards in my opinion. It can't be easy to learn to stutter the way he does in the film. I think I might purchase it when it comes out on DVD.
The rest of the week was pretty quiet, things are getting better at work and my level of responsibility is getting higher. I had a meeting with the teams on Thursday to launch our new process which I have been working on and I got a lot of praise from my boss regarding how good the work I had done was. More brownie points for me! Good Times.
This weekend has been unbelievably busy. I was at the hairdressers for 10am yesterday, was lovely to see Nathan as haven't seen him since the beginning of December. Its always nice to have a chat. I now have purple hair, was getting rather bored with the red and it as it fades so easily I decided to go a bit darker. Totally love it.
When I finished there I popped into the Natwest to open a new bank account for our bills when we move. Now I can start sorting out the direct debits for all the utilities and the TV licence. Once I finished there I met Alan and we went down to leaders to sign our tenancy agreement and pay the deposit. We have done it early because he is working on Saturday and it means I can get in the flat first thing and check things over before we start moving stuff in. Then I went with mum to her new house to help with the measuring of furniture. I still don't think they have realised the actual definition of down sizing but they will get there. Or at least I hope they will as its only a week until move day!!
Today I spent the afternoon with Mrs Coote, having a good old chin wag. Now that we don't work together I don't get to see her as much so its nice to have some time to just sit and put the world to rights. Then I went and picked up my Peter Kay Tickets from Lynne's. Busy Busy Busy.
I have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off work next week so will be getting my car serviced and cracking on with the packing ready for the move. I will be glad when we are moved and I can have a weekend of just chillaxing!
I can honestly say for the first time in a long time I am happy with everything going on in my life. 2011 is treating me well so far.
xoxo
