I’m feeling a bit stressed out and overwhelmed at the
moment to be honest. University work is starting to pile up and I’ve got my
first dissertation deadline at the beginning of November. I’m feeling very far
behind and struggling to find the time and energy to devote to reading, making
notes and writing my literature review. I’m also planning a baby shower, which
is taking a lot of time and energy, and I’m getting anxious about that going
well. So, all in all, I could really do with the world stopping for a bit until
I can catch up! Nevertheless, I’ve had a few more birthday celebrations this
week, which has been really nice and taken my mind off everything else for a
bit. Time just seems to be flying by so quickly!
Last Sunday some of my family came round and we did my
birthday cake and presents. How cute is this Marks and Spencer unicorn cake?! The sponge inside is three different rainbow colours too!
After doing my cake and presents, we all went out for
dinner to Prezzo in Camberley. I’ve only been once before but was really impressed by the range
of gluten-free dishes they had on offer. Plus yummy cocktails like this
Pornstar Martini.
I took way too many photos of this cake! But it looked
so pretty with the pastel rainbow candles on it (it had sparklers too but I
didn’t catch them on camera).
A little snap of me enjoying my cocktail to celebrate
(and maybe commiserate a bit!) my 29th birthday at Prezzo.
How beautiful are these flowers that my friend, Emma,
sent me for my birthday. They’re really unusual but covered in glitter so
totally up my street! Anyone that comes into the house comments on how pretty
they are.
As cheeky and naughty as he is sometimes, I love that
he snuggles up to us on the sofa and makes himself really comfy (even if it
means pushing us out of our seats!) He always looks so content.
This week I introduced my Uni girls to french toast
with maple bacon at Gail’s Bakery in Farnham. Sure, digestive problems meant I couldn’t eat much of it, but I
think they all enjoyed it and we had a great time chatting and putting the
world to rights. It put me in the right mood to then go to the library and take
out a pile of books for my dissertation.
How cute is this gingerbread cat biscuit that my
university support worker gave me for my birthday. It looks just like my Jaffa
cat!
On Friday I had to be up at 6am so we could head over
to Kent for a hospital appointment. We got there a bit early so, after a little
nap in the car, we went to the café. This cup of tea was much needed to try and
wake myself up!
I picked up a couple more DVDs to add to my Disney
Classics/Disney Pixar limited edition collection. It’s gradually growing so let
me know if you would like to see an up-to-date picture! And tag me on social
media in your collection pictures too please – I love seeing other people’s
Disney collections!
You can check out my YouTube channel here, where I have recently uploaded a few new videos (and hope to
continue doing!)
I’m also trying to post on Snapchat a bit more,
so if you fancy following me, my username is Jennycole44.
If you don’t already, please give me a follow
on Bloglovin here - I can’t believe I’ve managed to hit 800 followers now! Thank
you all so much. I’m planning a giveaway very soon!

enjoy hearing about your news and adventures!
