Skiiiiiiiing! Whoosh!

Well what i weekend I just had!

The boy decided to book an impromptu weekend in glasgow, and the plan was to chill out and enjoy some time together (what with me and my hectic schedule). He then planned a surprise visit to Xscape and a beginners skiing lesson!

Now I love the thought of skiing but the idea of falling and breaking something kept putting me off. But since it was all booked then i had no choice...and i'm so glad i went!

Firstly there was the embarrassment of fitting into ski pants (believe me these are not attractive!) and whispering your size to the attendant so that the boy cant hear is not great lol. Plus i think she took great delight in giving me a mix matched outfit as the trousers were small and the jacket fitted fine lol (or maybe it's just my hips and i will have to work on the diet a bit more). Anyway after a lot of huffing and puffing I was dressed to ski.

Over to the boots and ski's department to get kitted up....and this is where they ask your weight :faint: luckily the boy got taken to a different counter and again i whispered the dreaded numbers to the attendant. She didnt faint or scream (thank god!) and just adjusted the ski's appropriately. So boots on, ski's in hand, dressed as a blue and black marshmallow and still a helmet to go (flattering is not the case when it comes to skiing and thank god there were no mirrors in sight lol).

Anyway all kitted up and checked over we headed out to the snow (minus five brrrr). Firstly we learnt to slide and balance on our right foot, then the left and then both ski's were on and we were trying to climb the slope. Believe me it's a lot easier to watch lol! And the only way down is to ski....help! I managed the first two attempts, a lot of balancing problems though and without the instructor, Jo, I would have been on my bum. However, on the third attempt and slide down the hill bum in snow and highly embarrassment. Worse part was trying to stand up after the fall - think more of a beached whale and you'll get the idea lol.

Lots more practice later and i had mastered the tow rope up the slope, a slow ski down the hill and a controlled stop woohoo level one passed! Hopefully next time i'll get further up the hill than a few hundred yards though ;p

What's a girl to do??

So i am currently in the world of loved up ness....yes you heard right...

Anyway he asked if i fancy going away for the weekend....a city break to be precise and it's exactly what i fancy! Plus having never been away with a bf it's all a novelty :)

But I have also arranged to go on hols with my best friend. Now nothing is booked with her and I also fancy a few nights away girly style. Originally it was a week in the sun totally chilling out but the more i think about it a few nights somewhere would be better nothing to do with the men in our lives just think we have enough on our plate to juggle.

So with christmas, weddings and a few 30th birthdays looming I'm a little stuck what to do.

Now depending on where we settle on going I can do two city breaks (I love these and at this time of year it's exactly what you want to do) or I can go away for a week with friend.

What would you do??

Basically at the end of it I have to wait and see what friend says as i agreed to go away with her so it's her decision.

Guess i'll have to wait and see what's what....keep your fingers crossed!

So I havent been on here for a while. ....apologies life was just taking over as usual.

So update time...

Work wise- picking up slowly. One exam down and a few to go :) baby steps and all that. Getting back into the swing of things :)

Social life is great actually. Have decided that I am only going to do/ go to the things that I want to. No more feeling like I have no choice. Maybe it's what being 30 is all about. I'm making more time for my friends and we're actually taking time out to see each other for a much needed cuppa and a chat :) Just working on a few trips away - a weekend with my friends and the boy (wow this is a first!) and then a weekend with the boy possibly and then a holiday with my friend. Looking forward to it all!

Love life - surprisingly good (i know you've just fallen off your seat..I'll give you a minute). After the joys of internet dating and eventually giving up I seem to have found a guy (I know they always say it's when you stop looking lol). Very early days but I like it...a lot.

and it's only 3 1/2 months to christmas! wooooohhhhoooooo!!
