Blue Monday....was it for you?

So today is Blue Monday, the day that is the most depressing day of the year.  Brilliant, we're only day 16th of the first month and its the most depressing.  On Wikipedia theres even a formula for this day! The formula includes debt, motivational levels and many more things.  So was it Blue Monday for you?

It started off with quite depressing, waking up with dark skies and temperatures at -2! Lovely!  However I chose to stop it there and make my day to be as far as depressing...well what was in my control anyway!

• Spoke to my mum, that always puts a smile on my face (until she starts telling me I'm fat!)  

• F1 channel is launching on Sky.  For those that are unaware, last year F1 was shown on BBC, all Live coverage, this year the rights have been sold to Sky and there were still talks to whether it will go to Virgin.  We have Virgin at home, and today they have announced that Virgin will have the channel!  Brilliant! I can watch Jenson Button Live!
• Managed to get a limited edition ClaireaBella bag!  Can't wait to get it in my hands!

• Watched Vampire Diaries ... Damon is lush!

I hope it wasn't Blue Monday for you.  If it feels like it, just think theres still 2 and a half hours to go and you can make the change and do something to make yourself happy

Congrats to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

So today was the day that Prince William and Kate Middleton were pronounced husband and wife.  What a day it was, there were predictions of showers but they stayed away for the royal couple.

Sin and I decided to avoid the crowds this morning and opted for the warmth of the house (after all I only managed to get up shortly after 10am!).  We did decide to go out afterwards (more on that in another post) and managed to pick up 2 Special Editions of the Evening Standard.

Found an article with this picture which I liked: -

There was even an advertisement highlighting that the music was available to download on itunes!

I wish the happy couple all the best for the future...who knows they may even download the music to keep in their wedding memory box!

Wedding Fever

Yes wedding fever is high in the UK right now, especially in London where people have started to camp out already!  Yes camp out!  Come on now, its not like they are going to see much!  In case you didn't know the reason why they have camped out is to see these two get married: -

Nah, only kidding ;-)...anyway yes one famous couple will be getting married tomorrow.

It then made me realise that myself and Sin have been married for nearly 2 years now, and having a clear out yesterday at home, I came across just some of my wedding bits

Photo albums, photos, marriage certificate (never really looked at it until yesterday!), my shoes and much more!  Seeing all this makes me want to relive the day again!  (just want to stress not getting married again, but actually just experiencing that day again with Sin)  As it seems so long ago, I don't really remember much, I don't even remember going toilet that day, not that I would be able to with my dress!  Now talking about my dress, I am debating whether or not to sell it.  I won't ever wear it again but its my wedding dress ... decisions.

Anyway enough of me talking wedding jibberish as I could actually go on for ages!  Although I am not a fan of the monarchy, I do wish William and Catherine all the best

I Love You Mum

For us in the UK, its Mothers Day. Mothers Day is celebrated on different days around the world.

This day may have emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece.  In Europe there were several long standing traditions where a specific Sunday was set aside to honour motherhood and mothers
In the UK and Ireland, this day is the 4th Sunday in Lent.  For countries like Hong Kong and USA, its tje second Sunday of May.

So I decided to invite my family around to mine for dinner.  M&S Dine In for £15, yum yum.  As it was probably going to be busy at all the restaurants today, I thought that would be the best option.  We can always go to dinner another time.

Yes we got all that for £15!  

Sin decided to get mum some sushi as well as she loves that, a bit weird to go with the roast, but remember us Chinese likes to eat weird and wonderful things. See

Thank you mum for everything! I love you
