Our Trip to the Paralympics Part 2

So my husband got us some tickets for swimming and thats why I ended up going back to the Olympic Park, twice in one week!

So the aquatic centre was where we headed off to last week, we had the morning session so it was all about the heats.  The atmosphere was amazing, so many GB flags and everytime a member of GB went into the pool, the cheers went!  Wanting to be part of the experience, I also had my flag!

Although it was only the heats, we still managed to see new Paralympic Records and even World Records.  The swimmers were such an inspiration.  

Overall a good day, proud to be British!!

Today's Successful Haul

Today wasn't meant to be a shopping haul, but it ended up being just that!!!  I guess I was born to shop!

I got this whole set of pin badges...each day of the Olympic Games, one badge was released and I love the fact that it can be made into the shape of the Coca Cola Bottle!!

Thanks to Nivea, they gave me a bag of samples at Westfield.  

This sparkly jumper is from M&S, £35.  Loving the colour, but felt weird this as it was 22 degrees outside at the time!!

Thanks to O2 Priority Moments and my hubby, I got 2 sets of haircare for free at Body Shop, costs £10 each!

Got these lovely EDTs and body washes from Victoria Secrets, each one costs between £9 and £11, I got all 5 for £25!

So didn't actually spent much but felt quite a successful day

Our Trip to the Paralympics Part 1

I never got tickets to the Olympics but a few weeks ago finally managed to get some for the Paralympics.  Never did I think that I would go and get involved but it was definitely worth while.  I went there twice, first with my family minus Sin and we go an Olympic Park Ground Pass, at £5 it was really worth doing.  Although it didn't allow us to get into the venues, we got to go around in the grounds in the park and viewing some of the sites.

The Orbit...weird looking structure

One of the two Mcdonalds

Coca Cola Beat Box...it played music

Me, Amy and Mandeville

Aren't they cute?

Olympics 2012 - The People's Games

I can't believe this is coming to an end if not ended already.  I remember the day that we won the bid to host the Olympics, all those years ago and now the games have been and gone.

This year I remember my relatives asking me when I was in Hong Kong 'Are you looking forward to the Olympics?', my response was a straight forward 'no'.  To me at the beginning of the year Olympics didn't mean much to me, I just saw it as a pain as it was going to cause me traffic problems...the cycle race was round the area I work.

However as the week has unfolded I have warmed to the Olympics.  Been to Team GB house, held the Olympic Torch (ok, one of them), I stayed up to as far as I could to watch the opening ceremony (I was up at 5am that morning), watched a bit of the cycle race, learnt what the word Pentolon meant,  looked for Wenlock and Mandeville,  jumped up and down and screamed at the screen, protesting when GB was robbed of a gold in the gymnastics....the list goes on.

These games have been amazing, to be third in the medal table is unbelievable.  Well done to everyone who took part and won a medal.   You did us all proud.  I particularly enjoyed watching Phelps in the swimming, Mo Farrah in the 5000m and 10000m, Chris Hoy becoming the best British Olympian of all time, 6 gold medals and Tom Daley in the diving (so hyper when he won a medal!).  Definitely Our Greatest Team by miles!

I even attempted the Mo Farrah pose!

The sports were not the only thing that was great.  The closing ceremony was brilliant.  We had some of the best of british music....Spice Girls reunion!! Can't get better than that!

Beauty Box Swaps Birthday Swaps

Recently it was Beauty Box Swaps First Birthday and in the group we decided to do some box swaps.  I took part in two, two lovely ladies.  Jayne at http://whatjloves.blogspot.co.uk/ and Rachel.

With Jayne both our birthdays were very close.  Jayne's birthday was in July and mine in August so we chose to do it around birthdays and the birthday months.

Thank you Jayne, I love my box.... I've had the whole chocolate bar within an hour or so!!

With Rachel we chose our wedding colour as the theme.  Rachel had pink, so I did a pink box for Rachel and my wedding was a purple theme.

This is what I got for Rachel ....

Heres my box...thank you Rachel
