Today I started off the week with a big room clean out, I rearranged my room and and sorted all of my stuff out. I like having a "spring clean" every 3 months or so and get rid of stuff that I don't need/ want and give some more stuff to charity! It makes me feel so much more organised and ready for life when I know I've only got stuff I use. I obviously spent the rest of the day tidying up after the aftermath of rearranging everything. Then I went round Kierans and had a bit of a boring day to be honest, and a bit later on we went to the spa because we've still got about 6 goes on the deal we bought on groupon. So we went and did a bit of cardio which was really good as I haven't been properly going to the gym in about 2 weeks which is weird and then after we went for a nice swim which was needed!
So today is Tuesday and over the weekend and after my day on Saturday I've been having a long think about weather or not I should stay at my job and I've come to a decision. I decided to call my manger this morning to tell her what I was planning to do and they didn't pick up and after calling again and again someone answered and said she was busy which really confirmed my decision. A lot has been happening there which has upset me and Saturday just pushed me over the edge. So anyway I said I would call back later because that just annoyed me even more. I walked my little Millie and we had a lovely walk, it was really sunny today just quite chilly. At 12:30 I went and met my bestie Lyd who I haven't seen in soooo long. We met at the bus stop and we went to town together and had coffee and shopped and just had much needed girl time. We had such a lovely time and I've missed spending time with her so so much so it was so nice! When I got home I tried to ring work again but no one picked up again and I was telling my dad the whole situation! So I messaged my manager asking when to call her tomorrow so I'm going to call her tomorrow morning! I popped to Tesco and got some chicken because we actually have no food in the house whatsoever and Kieran was coming round mine tonight for dinner. I made him fajitas and they were good not gonna lie! Then we chilled in my room and watched this really good TV documentary called Mutiny which I highly recommend.
This morning I woke up feeling really anxious. I had to call my manger to tell her that I basically quit and it actually went better than I thought. She literally didn't say a lot and she was just like "okay bye" so it was quite good really lol! I called her at 9am after I had a shower to get it out the way nice and early and oh my God I felt so much better after that. Like a massive weight was lifted off me that I never have to go back there again. I then just had breakfast and chilled for a bit as I then had an interview at 12pm at a gym. Its for a full time job and its 40 hours a week and good pay! The interview went well and I met all the criteria they were looking for so I just hope I get it as it's so close to where I live as well! My step dad took me as he was working from home today and then I met him in Costa afterwards which was really nice and just had a catch up. Didn't do a whole lot when I got home apart from take some blog photos and just relax after all that drama this morning lol! Then I got the bus to Kieran's at about 4ish as I meet him at his work and we go to his from there as it's a direct bus and you can't get a bus to the village he lives in. When we got home we looked and booked our hotel for Friday night in Birmingham as we're going to see Kid Ink which i'm so excited about and chill for the rest of the evening
Thursday was quite a chill day, I felt really tired all day and had no motivation to move. I spent most of the day getting my shit together and packing my stuff for the weekend and I was absolutely bzing for it! My mum got back from her week away and me and my step dad spent a few hours just chilling and talking to her about it which was nice. Then my step dad's mum was coming over from Devon as she was dog sitting at my step auntie and uncles in oxford so she made a stop off at ours for the night. Me and my step dad went to pick her up from the station and it was so nice seeing her as I haven't seen her since Christmas. We then all went to the Toby Carvery for dinner and Kieran met us there and we had a lovely dinner and lovely family time and I enjoyed it so much. My step dads parents have been exactly like my grandparents and that's what I class them as because they are just so lovely to me! I went to Kieran's straight after and just had an early chilled night ready for getting up early for our trip to Birmingham.
We woke super early Friday morning to go to Birmingham and we were so excited! We got there about half 11, parked the car and then found our way to the Bullring and went shopping for about 2/3 hours and bought a few bits in the mashoosive primark that they have. We also got some food whilst we were there and just had a fab time and a look round. We walked back at about 2:30ish and checked into our hotel and got all our stuff in the room. We stayed in The Bloc Hotel in Birmingham and it was so nice it was quite a small room but that was the whole point of it as it was £44 for both of us but it was so nice and clean and overall a great experience. I stayed in the room and started to get ready and just chilled out and Kieran has a mate who lives in Birmingham so they met up and had a drink before we had to go to the concert. We left for the concert at about 5:30 and got an uber to the 02 accademy and it was so so good! Where I live in Swindon we do not have uber yet and I was so suprised at 1 how cheep it was and 2. how fast they came and got you and it was all just bloody fab! We had to que for a few minutes while they were letting us all in and it was pissing it down which wasn't ideal but i was buzzin for it. The concert was so good and I had such a good time but not going to lie the crowd were roudy AF for some reason have no idea why but there was just some absoulte dickheads there, that were just trying to casue shit! And also the support acts OH MY LORD! Two and a half hours they went on for. Like why? Just why? But after all that shit was done and dusted it was such a good night! Me and Kieran were absouktey knackered at this point so we just got an uber back the hotel and crashed out and ordered a kebab to the hotel! And I love nothing more than orering food to the hotel its just bloody lush!
This morning I woke up really early again for some reason. I wake up every morning at 7am anyway to take my birthcontrol pill and when I woke up at 7 this morning I was so awake. It was nice though because it meant we could enjoy the room a bit longer and take our time getting our stuff organised and ready to go. We checked out at about 10:30am and then drove to Swindon straight to a family meal we had at 12:30. It was really nice even though we both felt exhausted, it was really nice to see my family and have some time with them! We left a bit early just as we were so tired and I had a nap ready to go back out again tonight Lol! Kieran's sister lives in Bristol, so we decided to go on a night out! We had such a good night and it was lovely to spend time the three of us and was such a good adventure!
This morning we got up about 9ish and chilled at Jades for a bit and had some breakfast as we were heading back to Swindon to spend Easter Sunday with Kieran and Jades mum and dad. We had a really quick journey home and when we got home we all got given our Easter eggs which was super nice and just chilled out and watched a film. I was so knackered as we've been so busy this weekend, it was nice to sit and relax. We were going to go over to Lechelade as Kieran's mum and dad have a river boat and have lunch on there but it started pissing it down so we had our lovely Easter lunch here and just chilled for the rest of the evening. I have honestly had one of the best weekends in a long time and I feel so thankful and blessed. Its given me so much more motivation to want to build myself up and do what I want to do and what makes me happy and I really feel inspired for the next weeks to come! Happy Easter!
