Morning Everyone!

I am writing this update from the comfort of IKEA! Decided to make the most of my day and stop off here, I've never been before and as everyone keeps telling me how awesome it is I thought I'd try it seeing as I'm driving past!!!

I had the most amazing, awesome and fabulous time last night! The Venue was perfect, the food was yummy, the company was good, my bestie and her husband looked fantastic, it was the most magical evening and a pleasure to share it with them!

Here's a couple of pics from the night:





It's not often I say this but I actually felt awesome, a million dollars in fact!!!! Everything went to plan and I think I looked good, sorry for being big headed!!!! I'll stop now lol!

I managed to clock up an incredible 28908 steps yesterday, it was a new personal best for me!

You and your bestie look amazing, such a lovely wedding too- glad you enjoyed yourself, did Poppy go to or did you have a babysitter.

I haven't been to ikea but have looked at their website a few times so would like too see what the fuss is about x

I wasn't that impressed with IKEA (Will explain later!) I went on my own as it was an Adult Only Do, Poppy was with my parents x

 

[Cas3]

Can't wait to hear about idea then. Adult only weddings are becoming more popular X I bet Poppy had a lovely time with your parents xx

I think people like the lower cost and quietness of adults only! Plus if you're having a wedding on a week day I guess you can't expect people take their kids out of school either. X

Morning Everyone!

Yesterday just whizzed by and I totally forgot to update!!! Oops!

I checked out of the hotel at about 930, went to IKEA and had breakfast (Pic To Follow), I walked round but I'm sorry to say I don't like it I liked some stuff but I found the place very overwhelming and I didn't like the whole arrow/maze thing, I found it very off putting! I didn't buy anything but I did have lunch before I left (Pic To Follow) I then got stuck in traffic jams as there was an accident on the QE2 Bridge so it took ages to get back! I did the Asda Shop as I obviously didn't do it Friday Night and then I picked Poppy up. We then spent a bit of time together with my parents and then came home and snuggled with a special treat dinner! Poppy was in bed at 630 and I caught up on all the washing so it can go out on the line today.

Yesterday's Food

B-IKEA Black Coffee and Cinnamon Bun



L-IKEA Veggie Hot Dog, Tomato Ketchup, Fries & Still Juice. This was a totally new experience for me and I absolutely loved it!



Dinner-Dominos!!! Medium Classic Crust Veggie Supreme with Tomato Base, Jalapeño, Mushroom, Onion, Pineapple & Tomato



Ok my food yesterday (or even the day before!) wasn't great but I've done plenty of steps and I have really enjoyed my time off. Think we might be going to Herne Bay today if the weather is ok.

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Lots of Love Serena X

Morning Everyone!

I'm a bit slack at writing weekend updates!!!!

Yesterday was lovely, we went to Herne Bay for the day, we walked around the town, played on the arcades, walked along the front/pier, it was quite busy but nice to be out in the fresh air. We then came home, got a few bits ready for the working week and then I had takeaway with a friend last night, not ideal on a school night but was nice to have the company.

Yesterday's Food

B-2 Slices of Hovis Wholemeal 400g with Tesco No Added Sugar Raspberry Jam

L-Cafe on Herne Bay Seafront-Oven Baked Jacket Potato with Cheese (No Butter) and a HUGE salad!



D-Chinese Takeaway-Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables with Cashew Nuts, Few Chips and Sweet and Sour Sauce



Again my food wasn't great yesterday but I didn't snack at all inbetween, was literally the 3 meals and that was it!

Now it's back to the reality of work 5 days to work till next weekend! Yippee!!!

Have a great Monday everyone!

Lots of Love Serena x

They made me excited too, it felt 'normal' to be veggie!!! Thank you for your kind compliments x

 

[UKSerena]

Evening Everyone!!!

After 3 Days of overindulging I feel like I'm back to eating 'normal' today!

Work was boring and uneventful, nothing exciting or interesting to report! Other than to say there was a Sweetie Cart in the Staff Room, it was someone's birthday and they brought that in instead of cakes! Luckily I dont eat anything which contains gelatine so I wasn't much tempted! I just took 5 White Mice and 5 Milk Chocolate Jazzies which I will have at some point.

Today's Food

B-Crumpet, Scrambled Egg, Baked Beans & Plum Tomatoes (Will be the same every day)




L-2 X Hovis Wholemeal 400g, 3 Slices of Quorn Ham/Chicken, Mustard Piccallili, Cucumber, Lettuce, Pepper, Tomato, Wotsits, Petit Filous, Babybel Light and 2 X Satsuma (Will be the same every day)



D-3 Aldi Vegetable Nuggets, Asda Cheese Mash, Aunt Bessie Yorkshire Pudding, Aunt Bessie Stuffing Ball, Carrots/Green Beans/Peas/Sweetcorn, Onion Gravy and Mint Sauce



Hope everyone has had a great Monday! 4 Days till the weekend, yippee!

Lots of Love Serena x

Your day out at Herne bay sounded lovely, we usually go to Southend every year there's a lot there but it can work out quite expensive. Most of your food today is on the no count list so your definitely making healthy choices xx
