Always be Kind

Last week a colleague at work gave me a £30 voucher for a shop called Home Sense. It was extremely kind of them. They weren’t going to use it and it expired in a few days. They knew I would put it to good use and I did.

I messaged one of my friends who also loves Home Sense to see if they were free and they were. I love that they just as excited as I was. They’re the best.

I met them there after work. I don’t usually love a last minute, spur of the moment plan but this just fell into my lap.

Home Sense itself is a very special shop. Such a weird and beautiful shop. There is so much to choose from. However, within minutes I had found what was to be my new dressing room chair. It is beautiful. Velvet green. It was £99 but as I had the £30 voucher it was £69.99. Not bad. I did not tell the other half. Hehe

My friend carried it around the shop for me. Bless them. It wasn’t heavy.

I can’t stress how amazing this shop is. So many goodies from flower vases to candles to furniture. Cute. I also bought a basket for my bath bombs and some wine glasses.

We then went to Bella Italia for dinner which is next door. This was also very good. I had a free meal voucher, love a voucher. We had pizza & pasta and cookie dough desserts. I split the bill with my friend. Passing on the kindness as I could of just had my meal for free. They appreciated it just as I appreciated the kindness shared with me.

Overall a great experience. Something to think upon fondly. Share the kindness.

Everything is heavy right now

I very nearly didn’t make it into work today. I am absolutely knackered. I’m doing too much. Work is heavy. Social life is heavy. I just want to cancel it all and have a day in bed.

I made it in and cracked on. I feel like my manager is watching me a lot at the moment. Its irritating me. Does she not trust me? She gave me 6/10 recently which upset me. Does she think I’m rubbish at my job? Its a bit weird. I think I’m doing a good job. I might be overreacting, especially as I’m so tired.

Christmas is coming and I’m feeling a bit stressed about money. I know I shouldn’t but I like creating my own advent calendar which I’m trying to do. I’ve also ordered some outfits for the kids. Vinted is my new favourite app. Lots of second hand stuff. Cheaper and good for the environment. Win win

I was suppose to go for a run but I don’t feel up to it which means I won’t finish the couch to 5k before my holiday. Its ok. No need to put additional pressure on myself. My other half cooked dinner which was nice. I did some cleaning.

We’re going out next Friday with his old work lot. I don’t really want to go but I know it means a lot to him and I want to spend my night with him before I go away for 5 nights. I wish he was a bit more soppy but he’s like we just had a weekend away together. I’m like ok, thats definitely over now. We’ve barely had a cuddle or even touched since we’ve been home. It makes me feel a bit lonely if I’m honest. But I know he’s got a lot going on with his work and family. Things will get easier.
