A Little Bit Of Segway Fun!

Now back at Christmas I gave my hubby and youngest a Segway adventure as part of there Christmas present. (Thank you Tesco vouchers!) I booked it for a few Saturdays ago and what a day we all had!

Chunky wheels or what!

We got to the centre to see all the other people queuing up for their supper car experiences and truth be told I think they both would have preferred to have been off doing that!

Super cars....

But never the less they got ready for the experience, none of us could have preempted the hair nets though!

Would you believe they were classed as safety attire!

After they were suited and booted,

Suits you sir!

I shall call them robbo cop and mini robbo cop!

The training began.

Andy looked so serious,

Who needs speed when you have a segway!

But Ashleigh really didn't like it at all!

"Not liking it!" Face.

Even after a little more coaching she was having none of it!

"Err no I don't think I will thank you!"

Bless them they allowed me to take her place.

Bet you wish you had a funky hair net like mine!

Ready, steady GO...

Off we went into the woods.

Trust them to put me at the back.

Off into the woods we went.

It was fantastic.

Ashleigh enjoyed taking all the photos.

How can he deny how much fun he had? Look at the smile! 

He enjoyed speeding up to loose me bless.

It was fun.

We even kept all the cones intact.

So even though they would have rather have been driving around in extremely fast cars we had a cracking day.

And even better if didn't cost a penny!

Finally a day off!

Good grief what a week!

Thankfully I finally have today off and I didn't surface out of bed until 12 o'clock.

(Terrible I know!)

After crazy hours at work last night saw us dancing the hours away at hubbies leaving do.

Heres what I wore;

Asos dress

And of course a pair of new shoes had to come out to play!

Shoes - Top Shop

And yes I danced all night in theses babies!

They gave him a cake and prezzies to.

It truly was a fab evening bless them.

As for today well we are chilling with pimms;

And I have made a yummy pudding for after our roast;

Yummy strawberry Pavlova

I really have to stop playing with my camera settings!

What has your week been like?

Apologies if I haven't managed to visit your blogs, I promise this week will be back to normal.

Rinse And Repeat, Well Almost!

Thursday I wore almost an identical outfit to Tuesday!

Top - Peacocks
Skirt - Primark (years old)

Delicate sequin details on the flowers

Also on the edges too

Sandals - Fashion union

Now I am officially still on my shoe ban, but when I had a discount code to use and these beauties were already reduced, I though it would be crazy not too!

Well thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

I still have my mountain shoes to share.

(My treat for completing Three Peaks)

I have only had one  and half pairs so far.

(The half is due to one pair being  reduced so they can't possibly count as a full pair can they!)

I will share soon.

Smart Casual To A Tea!

The trouble with having to be smart casual is what the hell do you wear?!

Well Wednesday last week saw me pull this together;

Hand me up top and skirt from my eldest

Sandals - eBay bargain.

And if I say so myself I was quite pleased!

The only thing I added later was a bright belt.

Black And White

Heres yet another outfit for you, this time from Tuesday of last week.

A real black and white theme going on.

Top - Peacocks
Skirt - America
Shoes - Debenhams

Cute semi full skirt

Very pretty detail

As I had to pop into a few places I could pop on a jacket and  added with the heels it looked quite formal for work too.

A little bit of feather and leather!

You may have noticed a distinct lack of outfit posts last week and that was fully intended.

Why?

Well this week is what is effectionatly known as "Manic!"

I have no day off.

(Now after 3 all say agh!)

And will be spending Monday and Tuesday in Pontypool, Wednesday in Lichfield actioning training sessions, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Malvern actioning open days.

Manic, manic, manic!

(or should that be busy, busy, busy?)

Anyhow as I shall be wearing very business like clothes I kept all my photos of last weeks out fits to share this week. So if they don't match the weather thats the reason behind it.

So firstly Monday I worn,

River Island leather shorts - purchased from new life for £6!
eBay top £3
eBay sandals £4 

No body odour here! lol!

Cute cut out detail at back of top

Stud detailing on sleeves

Very badly painted toe nails! oops.

Ankle detail of stones and feathers

I really would not have brought these shorts when I saw them in the shop for two reasons, firstly the price and secondly I am probably a bit too old to wear leather shorts. (I had quite a few pairs in my youth)

But when I saw them at this price and I tried them on I had Vix's voice in my ear saying "wear what you like not what other expect to see you in!"

So of course I did.

Six Weeks Of Heaven Or Hell???

Ok so whether you have children or not I am sure you will be aware that today sees us beginning the start of the six weeks holiday.

This can only mean one of two things;

You love it or hate it!

 As a child of course it's great, however as a parent it can fill you full of dread due to the cost of trying to occupy them in this crappy British weather.

For me I am lucky, Ashleigh at 15 makes plans to see her friends and generally it won't cost me the earth.

So here's how we shall be spending six weeks.

Andy has the first week off and will take Ashleigh to a few horse riding sessions, (Groupon, don't you love it!) as well as swimming and clothe shopping for holiday essentials.

The second week she has plans with friends including a possible trip to Alton Towers. (buy one get one free ticket!)

That Saturday sees her off to PGL for 7 nights to do a driving course.

Then home for a week, in which we have tickets for the circus at Eden Project. 

(Tesco vouchers)

Finally for the last two weeks we are off to Mexico, I can't wait!

Work is relentlessly busy for me and time off will be sparse, which I feel very guilty about. But the truth is with out me working we couldn't afford all the nice things so instead I try to balance. 

So what are your plans for the six weeks?

Lot's of children activities?

Or avoid any areas Children might be at all costs?
