30 Day Snap #23 | Making the right decision in moving to London

I spent yesterday chillaxing. My final day in London. It was lovely to think that I no longer had to have an alarm in the morning as well. I spent the evening in PJ's, watching favourite shows with a bowl of pasta.

Just think tomorrow (today really), I'll be home. I'll be back with Dad and everything will feel fine. I actually start to tear up knowing how shortly the time is coming. I've missed everyone so much, but also leaving, I'll be missing all the lovely people I've met over here.

Last year I had a choice to either stay in Ireland or go to the UK. It was such a difficult choice to make! It's the end of the year (well of college that is) and I'm happy with the choice I made. Even though it hasn't been easy over here, living in a place that doesn't really feel like home, I know that times will change when I move away. There are so many possibilities and opportunities that can happen next year.

This is my last summer as I may have to stay over here next summer for work, so I plan on making the most out of my holidays with my family and friends.

30 Day Snap #22 | Cinema, Hugs & Kisses :)

Hello everyone,

sorry about the lateness, I'm usually not like this. But yesterday we were getting a new router installed, waiting for the delivery guy, and we didn't set it up until last night.

On Sunday, I went to the cinema with my cousin. She was meeting all her school friends, so yes I was sitting with a bunch of kids, talking through the whole movie. We went to see 'Maleficent'. I loved it. And much preferred the ending compared to the original version.

It was quite dark for a kids movie, so yes, some of the kids were crying, so there was comedy added as a bonus for me.

Afterwards, I got a McChicken Meal, then got all ready for my last day at work. It was a lovely feeling knowing it was my last. I got hugs and kisses from all my favourite chefs. I will miss them so much. One of the guys can speak fluent French, so he was hilarious to listen to, with telling me not to go. So funny!

At home Edel told me my Dad had a few pictures on facebook, of my house all done up in Ireland. He planted a few trees at the weekend.

Hope you're all enjoying the wonderful weather we're having.

30 Day Snap #21 | Unexpected Saturday with work & Spaghetti!

My Saturday didn't go as I hope it would. I was planning on packing my things for heading back home, but I agreed to work in the restaurant as a favour to someone, as well as they were considerate for saying that I might want the extra money for going home.

So I decided if I were to be working then spending my night babysitting, I would have a nice meal. Spaghetti bolonaise, simple but nice. And I'm back into that awful addiction with orange juice again!

I loved seeing the next door neighbours roses while walking to the kids house I was taking care of. The house in which I babysit in, is so beautiful. I especially love the chair, carpet area they have upstairs on the landing. So pretty. Adding ideas to my Pinterest :)

Sit Down Saturday | Flaws 'n all!

Another Saturday :)

Is it always a bad thing? Making you feel all doom and gloom and being negative towards life. Or is it better to be honest with yourself and know exactly who you are, regardless of your flaws? I feel happier knowing my flaws. Rather than fooling myself believing I'm perfect.

I have many flaws. More than I can count, but there are values of myself that I'm quite proud of. As you get older you recognise more flaws about yourself, and it can go either way. With caring what others think and feeling awful with yourself OR being able to improve this flaws and to make you a better person. Only do it for yourself!

I sadly can't change flaws such as clumsiness and 'thinking before I speak', so I'll just have to live with them. But it does hurt me from time to time. Making me feel like the odd one out. How can I be that person who doesn't give a shi*? I appear to people as the confident, always up for a good laugh Irish one, but there can be days where the wall crumbles and shows my vulnerability.

What keeps me going is thinking about what is next to come. Ooh, like for example, tomorrow I'll be meeting a friend. That sort of thing that'll give me some optimism.

Are there days like this that can eat you up? How do you manage to shine a light on the bright side? To keep it together?

 

30 Day Snap #20 | Chats with friends, Sweet shops & Parks!

Hello Sweet cheeks,

Yesterday was a day of treats. I headed into town to say goodbye to Jaz, who is such an amazing person. She has shit going on in her life, yet she is so strong at the age of 19... like how does she do it? We decided to pop in for a final visit to (Peachys favourite Sweet shop) 'Hopscotch'. We then searched the town for the cheapest price of Pringles. Jaz loves her Pringles :) And with a Mocha cookie crumble frappachino, we sat on comfy chairs in Starbucks having a lovely chat. And if that wasn't enough we went to the park and sat out in the sunshine.

I also met a lady from work in the park. It's a small town, so things like this reminds me off home in Ireland, which I happen to like.

But when there are days when you're not exactly fit to be seen and then everyone is out 'n about, well that sucks!

30 Day Snap #19 | Goodbye to College, friends, tutors & to the best hot chocolate!

Yesterday I said goodbye to friends such as Peachy & Linda. Amazing women!

I will miss them both terribly.

In the morning I bought a pack of chocolate digestive biscuits for my tutor Andy. Every Thursday we would all have biscuits & tea in class... such a feel good atmosphere for the day.

So with the biscuits, me and Peachy signed the bear-designed card, drawn by our friend Jaz. THE TEDDY BEAR IS SO CUTE!

I had my last (the best hot chocolate I've discovered) in our Colleges' Starbucks... with the most amazing vanilla cream... Mmmmmm, now this I shall miss!

After giving a huge, long hug to Peachy, me & Jaz set off to the Noahs Ark hospice with the money we had raised. There we were given more papers on volunteering for the hospice. If I do come back to Barnet next September, I may actually help out if I can.

So, sad goodbyes to friends & tutors.

I was so happy in this College. I preferred going there compared to the house I was staying in.

I was also delighted to get back my final grade... passed everything officially. Throwing my portfolio in my head tutors face... "Hear You! You can take this!"

How's everyones snap challenge coming along?

Thanks for reading,

Thankful Thursday

I want to have a kitty cat, so I can put a whooly hat on him. Too CUTE!

This guys is my final Thankful Thursday in London. I shall be in Edinburgh this time next week... *bringing on the 'Oooooos'* Yeah I know! Amazing!

Carrying on, my week remained quite positive, especially with receiving word back that my suspected glandular fever was negative. THANK YOOOOOU DOCTOR! Now I can be happy with my holidays, with no worries. Throughout yesterday and today I've been looking over bit and bobs over at Canterbury. I'm still amazed by its beauty. I happened to have met a lady today, who went there for a day, for her new years resolution. She was awestruck by its charm, beauty and historic features. The young lady said she'd been inside the Canterbury Cathedral and described it as magnificent. The cathedral itself is supposedly where I should be graduating in 3 years time... *fingers crossed!*

So my Thankful Thursday

Eating out in the beer garden with some of my college peers and head tutor - Meditteranean platter board was enjoyable with the witty Peachy.

Getting an evening off from work - got to watch the England Vs Italy match.

Ed Sheerans music (both old & new) - opening up little parts of my soul.

Ella Henderson has been a pal to me this week, with going for countryside walk.

Bob Marley for making me see what truly matters in life!

Lidl chocolate - as good as any other.

Daily phone calls with the brother- discussing the matches (I'm fuming with Englands defenders tonight)

Being told by my mum how she's proud & jealous of my music - finally got her jealous.... kidding! But it's always good to know it's appreciated and supported.

Printing & checking-in for my flight back to Ireland.

Completing my portfolio for College... amazing how I did everything!

Buying gifts for tutors - they can't be thanked enough for everything they've accomplished with us.

Strawberry Activia yogurts.

Baby Daddy Finale!!!!!!!!! Dan the Man!

Burning candles.

Thank you for reading pip squeeks,

I hope you had a week for feeling thankful for,
