Thankful Thursday

Hello hello, to everyone out there in the whole wild wide world!

Apart from getting sick and having to work while being sick, my week went quite alright. Tuesday was the first night in a long time, where I slept happily and comfortably. I'm hoping to get news back on my blood tests tomorrow at the GP's, so here's hoping that I'm okay.

The week really had me drained. But there were times when I did feel ever so happy.

Thankful Thursday

Having the uncontrollable desire to sing 'Happy' - Pharrell Williams, with being asked out for drinks (personally I think the restaurant that I work in, should be a whore house! All the staff do is flirt with one another. But it does bring tears of laughter and joy to my donkey featured face.

Antibiotics - Doctors orders! Penicillin is what has been getting me back into shape! Not trying to advertise drugs here people, but it is in its way making me happy with reaching to a better recovery.

Playing peeka-boo and confessions at College - our canteen has been turned into some sort of timber boxes / plasterboard maze. It's fun with being able to jump out at complete strangers and to not be afraid that they'll come find you.

Midnight snapchats with my great friend Cillian. It's difficult to contain my laughter with the fella, from just a single picture.

Soccer Aid - my brothers commentary is funny to listen to. He questions himself, which is more entertaining than the match at times.

Carnivals, McDonalds & flat shoes.

Day time naps.

Coldplay & Ed Sheerans new albums - just unbelievable!

Graham Nortan & Coronation Street

Just think people, next Thursday will be my final Thankful Thursday post here in Britain until next September.

Thanks for reading sheepys,

Things to do this Summer '14

 All pictures sourced from: We Heart It

I did this post around this time last year, which is crazy to believe. A year... WOW! Seriously that really did fly by. There were some regrets that I had from last summer, such as not starting new hobbies or going to as many places as I would have liked. I mean sure I did luckily get to spend weeks discovering London with my bestie Edel and my brother but I would have liked to have spent more time in Ireland with my family.

The regrets I had from last year will hopefully be achieved during this summer.

I intend to...

Take MORE pictures, blog and tweek bits on my You Tube

You can tell by my blog and instagram that I'm a lover for photography. My camera sadly is for videos so getting a new camera would be amazing. I love looking back on the pictures from last summer. There were some great memories to hold on to.

I promised ye guys that I would get my blog up and rolling this summer. More time to take pics and to type consistently.

Last year my digital camera was for amending my You Tube however I never got around to that. Lack of confidence and absolutely no idea in how to use my music/ video software on my computer.

Get interested in new hobbies

I would prefer to have hobbies that don't need money for, but living in the countryside, there isn't that many.

I will be spending a good few days at home, since my parents will be working, so I'll take that time in attempting to bake some chocolaty-scrumptious cakes. Oooh, also I am hoping to get myself behind the wheel. Time to take charge and forget about my fear. It's time now I knew how to drive.

Discover new places & new things

I do usually get to see plenty of places, but I never really get to discover what lurks in the areas. As long as there's a pub in the town my Dad is happy. And as long as there's clothes shops my Mum is happy.

I'm going to Scotland in June, so lots to discover I hope. I've seen the kilts, the bagpipes and whatnot but I want to discover the cafes, the book shops, the museums. Just a wander around really :)

Quality time with family

My bother, Aran (or as my family call him 'Harry' - he loves talking about his football. I only know about ManU, so he just talks and talks, and I just pretend to be interested. I do enjoy his company though. He's pretty funny. He'll be 18 this September so he's not the little toddler he once was, covered in dirt, tailing me where ever I went (nothing changed there so much).

My Dad, Michael - If I need someone to talk to about anything. This includes everything, my worries with finance, boys, etc, he's the one I talk to. You would think it's the mother but no, she just calls me little pet, pats me on the head and continues with the ironing. I like spending mornings with Dad. Both of us love going for spins to different towns and just relaxing in the van, listening to the radio, reading the newspaper and drinking lucozade.

My Mum, Jacinta - She gives the best cuddles. So that and spending Friday nights all cozied up on the couch watching chat shows with sweeties is really when I'm most happy with mum. She likes when we go to town. We part ways shopping, then we meet in a cafe, drinking coffee and talking about what purchases we got. To everyone that is a stranger to us, believes that we're sisters. She does keep her skin in great condition, so...

Best Friend Time, with Edel

She'll love how I have 'New Girl' put in here. She LOVES this show.

This really isn't something I have to worry about. I spend nearly all my time with Edel at every holiday.

We go shopping, to the cinema, parks, have sleepovers (which is usually for a duration like a week or 2). We're so comfortable in each others' company that we are like sisters. We know ourselves to be quite strange people and we like that about each other. Rarely it happens, but when we get overly hyper, all hell breaks loose. Our stomachs hurt from laughter and new private jokes are created. As Christina Yang says to Meredith in 'Greys Anatomy', "You're my person!"

Cinderella Pact

Getting fit and getting all shaped up. Edel and I have said we'll work our butts of this summer, and that we'll keep one another motivated. We enjoy swimming but we're hoping to make some fun out of this exercise. We don't exactly swim laps, instead we shout under water, guessing what each other is saying. We attempted going to the gym a few times, a good few years back.... it didn't go very well. We did our part in losing the calories but then coming out we saw the popcorn and slushie machines. We were basically screwed. We kept up with this routine for a good while.

So no more silliness. Time to get up off our asses and to burn off this beaver fat!

Thanks for reading fellow internet peeps,
let me know what you're planning on getting up to this summer.

30 Day Snap #24 | Cadburys, Sherlock & Superman

Hey there,

 How there, how do you do? Well I had an exciting day today lads, it was a tiring start at first, but it turned out pretty damn awesome.

Me and my brother Aran, and my best friend Edel went shopping today, and to the cinema. We found a Cadburys shop, and got some boxes of chocolates. The best thing about these is that they're all strawberry flavoured ones... my fave's :)

And then we wandered along 'Waterstones' book shop, trying to look like teenagers around the teen books... like when we're in our 30's we'll still be hanging around there.

Then after dragging my friend out from the shop, heehee, only kidding, but she does love books, we then hit HMV, and became very happy and sad all at the same time. It's a horrible experience while shopping. I'm waiting to buy stuff just before I head back to Ireland, that way I'll have my money for important things like London and Harry Potter Studios. So I left 'The Mentalist', the lovely Simon Baker, and 'Australia', on the shelves... it broke my heart :(

But on a good note, my brother did buy 'Sherlock' Season 1 and 2. I'm a huge fan of Sherlock. I loved the movies, and according to my brother I will no doubt love this series. WOO HOO... can't wait :D

Theeeen, we saw 'Man of Steel' in the Odeon cinema, adverts went on for a half an hour, but for some odd reason, I didn't mind it. The movie was great, because of it's cast and of the guy playing Superman, and of it's score in the background, and of the guy playing Superman, oh and of the guy playing Superman. He barely had anything to say in the movie, he would just gaze in the distance and would have us hooked, the girls that is... the guys were probably content with the amount of action in the movie. Seriously, every 10 minutes there was an explosion. The story tweaked around a little so I'm looking forward to the next one.

Let me know guys what other movies are worth watching, whether in the Cinema, or on DVD :)

30 Day Snap #23 | A Jolly Good Day Out

Pardon Dearies,

 but this picture was the best of the lot, heehee. My brother told me to do a funny face, he's camera shy, good thing too, ahhhh no, only joking :)

Anyway we went to a little school event today, music, bouncy castles, candy floss, ice-cream and people dressed up as bears, and other fictional characters like Buzz lightyear, Snow White...

I got to look around the gardens of the School, Haberdashers it's called, and yes, look at them gardens, so well kept. And they're huge!

Having a right old laugh, we were :D

Anyway let me know what you're all up to, I'm all ears :)
