Canada has been and gone!Bata

Well hello peeps!

The holiday has been and gone...I gained 1/2 a pound and managed the gym twice. Haha! Seriously great holiday seen my eldest cousin getting married and what an amazing wedding it was! Congratulations to them both!

I managed to do the following also:

1. a coffee or two in Tim Hortons


2. tasted Poutine - definately better than our version here and as a result am now craving graving with my fries lol!


3. went to the highest point in the CN tower and had lunch at the top :)


4. Bata shoe museum


5. Eton Centre and didnt buy much!


6. Village Idiot pub - strawberry beer is divine!


7. Walked miles and could still go back and see more haha

So now am home and having recovered from the jet lag am wondering where next to book a holiday?? A week over new year in the carribean - Yes please! However I havent won the lottery yet so maybe something a fee more months down the line haha! Tenerife in May? Spain in June? NY in November?? All tempting so far!

So what have I missed??

The Countdown is on!

Morning peeps!

Well the countdown is on till holiday! I am sooo excited!!!

I havent packed, I havent got my spending money sorted, I have a list of jobs to do as long as my arm but I dont care! This time next week I will be on a plane and heading to canada! woohoo!!

I even bought a tour guide book (I love them) so that i can toddle about Toronto for a few days myself and just chillax.

Now the sad thing is I am beginning to panic about missing the gym etc (sad i know) and worried that I undo all the hard work of the last 5 months. (not that the scales say anything woowee but my shape has changed!) so I have bought me a pedometer so that i can make sure I am doing enough walking.

So what have you all been upto?

Monday madness

Howdy partners!

How's things? Been upto much? Got stories to share??

Well lets see whats been happening in Eve world...

I have turned into a gym bunny. Yes I know I never thought i'd be heading off to the gym three times a week minimum but what do you know...off i trot with a skip in my step for 2 hours of hard work and lots of sweating and I actually enjoy it! I have started a body blast class followed by a mix and match class on a monday, kettlercise and step on a thursday and step followed by body pump on a saturday. Loving it all! Trying to encourage myself to get to pilates but by 4pm on a sunday i'm normally upto something else. So far am seeing my shape changing but the weight is just not shifting. Annoyed.com!

On the plus side i have just bought a pair of size 16 jeans! whoop whoop havent been this size (on the bottom half) since at least uni and considering when i started this i was a snug size 22! Rock and roll!!

SO it's two weeks until my holibobs to canada, getting more and more excited and trying to work out outfits etc.

Dog sitting this weekend followed by a 7k walk for junior diabetes (if you wanna sponsor me feel free www.justgiving.com/Eve-Clark) so not doubt will be shattered by sunday night lol. E
Am still house haunting...really like a ground floor two bedroom flat or a 2 bedroom house slight difference in prices (house is cheaper) but i think i like the flat more. Just to decide if i am going to put in an offer or not eeeeek!

where did summer go?? It's now late august and we're supposed to be in Autumn but it's freezing here...I have on my tights and the heating even went on last night. Not impressed!

So thats about all with me. Keep happy :)

Friday Feeling!!

Good Morning Munchkins :)

How are we all day??

So it's friday.....I have a pretty quiet weekend planned...

Gym tomorrow for step class and body pump then going to see a friend and her baby for a coffee and a catch up :)

Rest of the weekend I am free as a bird :) Might actually get round to finish painting my kitchen..I have skirtings to paint and cupboards to sand and paint. I also have my hall to paint as it needs a freshen up. Good news is that it's all white and I have the paint already. Just need to get my bum in gear and get it done!

Tonight however I am off to see a bigger flat with the prospect of buying it! It has a huge dining kitchen, patio door to the garden (heaven!) and a feature fire place in the living room...oh and varnished floorboards in the living room. It's 2 bedrooms and even has a cat flap for the beasts. Its basically my ideal property!!! But it's a flat and I was looking for a house however it might just be the perfect mid step between the two...more room, another bedroom for the clutter (haha) and my own door! Can you tell I'm a little excited about it all ???? Mum and sis are coming with me and I cant wait...roll on 6.30!

In other news...it's 3 weeks on tuesday till Canada :) I am soooo needing a holiday and cant wait to see my cousins and get all the news. Just need to find the perfect travelling outfit and im ready!

G has been in touch a lot regarding getting back together. He seems to have gotten a wake up call but I cant help but think it's a little too late. I met him last saturday for a coffee, god he looks good! But I kept my sensible head on and kept remembering all the times what weren't good and the fact he did a disapearing act twice when I mentioned moving etc. I've asked him for space (no contact) until I get back from Canada as I need to work out if I want to go back or if it's finished for good. I suspect the later but we'll see.

I also got back into the dating game...but realised after 4 dates with 4 boys that I need to concentrate on me at the moment and am sooo happy being single :) (i also need to work out all the G stuff above haha)

Apart from all that I have been working my bum off at the gym and eventually getting results! I am definately getting a smaller bum and a friend mentioned to another friend that I seem to have lost my shoulders....I can confirm I still have them, otherwise I would have no where for my bra straps to sit haha! Lets hope I can keep it all going and i'll be a slim jim by my birthday next year :)

Oh and the sock monkey (you didnt think i'd forget about him haha!) was a raving success at guide camp! In fact Monkeys, owls and a couple of elephants were made throughout the weekend :) Needless to say a few needle injuries and a lot of patience on my part but all good fun and 10 minutes before the girls were due to be picked up they were still working on them!!

Here's my attempts.....

Bananas the Monkey, Flutter the Owl and India the Elephant (the girls named them)

Have a good weekend all!!!! :D

Sorry sorry!

Sorry peeps!!! I seem to have gone awol for the last 4 months!

Anyway am back...and promise to keep you all amused with my tales...Hello my 1 follower :)

So what's happened since i've been gone...

Day at Perth Races...won some money and the sun was out - good good!

well had a week in Dornoch with G and the dog...thoroughly enjoyed it.

Passed my DIPLOMA!! Whoop whoop!

Mum and I had a week in the sun - bliss and had great fun :) Roll on our next holiday :)

Turned a year older...not as elaborate partying as last time...just a bbq with family, afternoon tea with the girls and G took me away for a surprise dinner :) Great way to spend a birthday :D

Sis and BIL have been married 3 years! wow!! They are now proud parents to Patrick and Fred the goldfish I got them for their anniversary :) haha

G and I have spilt up. Think its for the best now and he was never going to make me completely happy.

So yes am footloose and fancy free again...and loving it!

Canada in just over a month and get a few days with my cousin before all the rest of the family come over. Will be good fun :)

And dad passed his diploma today too - what a great start to the week :)

So what have you all been upto??

I'm off to guide camp this weekend...should be good fun but I have a sock monkey to make before it so better get my needle and thread out haha! I'm sure you'll all want a photo :)

Keep smiling :)

Still raining sunday..

Well weekend of outdoors stuff didnt quite go to plan....as it's rained the whole weekend! We did however head to the pool for a swim and steam. Rest of the weekend has been pretty chilled, trip the pub today to see the rugby - me cheering on Scotland and G for England. Shame we were a little too hungover to enjoy it properly (vodka and wii is a lethal combination lol)

Finally made a decision regarding going to my cousins wedding and booked the flights yesterday whoop whoop! Now gotto get working to pay it off.

Also sold my car, gutted but at the same time it's a stress i dont need with it needing its mot next month.

So what have you all been upto this weekend??

Well I survived another hen weekend,,,,this one a little tamer due to baby bumps etc but still good fun and great to catch up with everyone :)

G and I seem to be back on track, I think the weekend apart did us good. Although he's been told that the lack of effort on his part is not on. He's in my neck of the woods all weekend and staying till monday so hopefully we'll have a great weekend. Planning a picnic and a swim i think :)

Finally made the leap and put the car on ebay. Seem to have 6 watchers but no bidders yet although had a guy interested yesterday...guess it's just a case of wait and see...although there's only 2 days left eeeek!

Oh and booked a week in the sun with my mum. Just what the doctor ordered to fight my cold (yes i have another one!) cant wait!!

6 months in...

Well we've reached 6 months G and I (on sunday)....never thought I'd see the day! haha!

The thing is i love the boy...yup I've said it and it's now here in black and white but I feel that 6 months into the relationship that i'm being taken for granted. I spent sat/ sunday with him at his house and basically after tidying his mess and the ironing I took the train home, we had a spell of not speaking due to said mess and a lazy morning on sunday and although we've made up I feel like i have become cleaner and not girlfriend. We seem to have lost our sparkle and I dont know how to get it back... I dont expect to be wined and dined all the time but it's the little things that count and these seem to be lacking.

So what can i do? What is there to do? This weekend I'm away on a hen weekend and maybe the break will do us good. Who knows...do you? Answers on post cards please!

Come on Scotland!

Morning all!

Firstly I apologise, its been a month since I was on here. I'm sorry :( but i have sat my exam and now just waiting for the results (argh!).

So what have all you merry people been upto in my absence??

Well I'm off to Edinburgh tonight with G for some chillaxing time with friends and then off to see the rugby at Murrayfield tomorrow! I am sooo excited about this!! I've been to Murrayfield a few times for concerts/ exams etc and never for the rugby and finally it's happening woohoo! Thanks G for the christmas pressie! Come on Scotland!!!!

In more exciting news one of my friends had her baby on wednesday - Fraser. He's so cute! Both parents are smitten and it's lovely to see. Went to visit last night and got baby cuddles - cant beat them :)

Things are still going great with G - nearly 6 months can you believe it?!?!? We've recently been having a lot of discussions about the future and it seems this ones a keeper. Few teething problems but nothing that cant be sorted out :)

Valentines on monday - are you sending any??

New Year and all that jazz :)

Howdy peeps!

Happy New Year to you all!! Did you survive christmas? Was Santa good to you all? Did you toast in the new year and start with the resolutions??

Well what a christmas...got spoilt rotten :) Had a fab christmas with the family and G and then got to celebrate christmas all over again with G's family :) Playmobile and a wooden train set anyone?? haha (just to add thats not mine but G's nephews lol)

New Year came with a bang and lots of fireworks, celebrated the night away at N's party and managed to get to my bed sometime after 5! (my days of partying to that time may be numbered lol)

So it's back to work and in study mode already (whoopee!) nevermind a couple of weeks to go and it's all over until my annual compliance test haha

So what did you decide to make as new year resolutions?? I have a few....

- pass my diploma for work. Part 3 (and final part) in a few weeks
- get some savings in the bank
- drop a couple of dress sizes
- grow my hair and decide if i want to stay dark or not
- stop being so busy, make more 'me' time :D
- keep my bog more uptodate lol

So what's everyones new years resolutions/ plans for the year ahead? I'm intrigued!
