This week, I’ve been loving…
Christmas!
We’ve spent months
preparing for it, yet in just a few hours it’s been and gone. I hate how
quickly it flies by, but for this week I’ve tried to make sure I really enjoy
it as much as I can. I’ll do a separate post about my Christmas, so for now I’ll
leave you with a festive photo…
Cinema times
I don’t get to go to the
cinema that often, which is a real shame as it’s one of my favourite things to
do. It’s just so darn expensive! But there’s nothing better than finding the
right seats then nestling down in front of the big screen, full of anticipation
for the film you’re about to see. One of my favourite parts is actually the
trailers before the movie, just so I can make a mental note of all the new
films I’d like to see!
This week, I’ve somehow managed to have two cinema trips – I’m obviously making up for lost time! My first trip was
with one of my best friends, who is home from Dubai for Christmas. We have a
tradition of going to see a Christmas film every year, and this year we chose
to go and see ‘Frozen,’ which was fantastic (I wouldn’t expect any less from
Disney!) I’m already excited for when it’s released on DVD and can’t get the ‘Do
you want to build a snowman?’ song out of my head!
Then, on Boxing Day, my Dad
asked me if I’d like to go to the cinema with him. Being part of a large
family, I never really do anything just my Dad and I, so it was lovely to have
some Daddy Daughter time. He chose for us to see ‘The Secret Life of Walter
Mitty,’ with Adam Sandler. It wasn’t my favourite film, but it was good and the
locations they shot in were just stunning. My Dad loved it, so a fairly
successful trip in my opinion. And now I’m planning all the films I want to see
in 2014 – The Lego Movie and the new Muppets film are fairly high on my list!
Sales bargains
I’m a sucker for a ‘Sale’
sign and as much as I try to restrain myself, it never really works! I did go
into town a few days after Christmas to have a mooch around, but to be honest I
didn’t really find much. I can’t cope with the hoards of people and having to
sift through row upon row of mismatched outfits, just to find something in my
size. Online sale shopping is much more me. You can browse from the comfort of
your own home, search for exactly what you want to look for and filter out all
the stuff that doesn’t interest you. I’ve decided this year to just go for a
select few items, rather than going crazy buying things I don’t really want or
need. I’ve managed to order myself a Blu-Ray player that connects to the
Internet from John Lewis and a nice new burgundy hoody from Jack Wills, both at knockdown prices. Now I’m just waiting for the postman to knock on my
door with them!
What has grabbed your attention this
week? I love hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing
something that makes it onto my list next week!
