This past week or so has been all about getting caught up with work so I can relax whilst I am on holiday. Apart from the odd weekend break to Europe I haven’t been on holiday since I became self employed 5 years ago. It’s so hard to take time off when you work for yourself and its even harder to relax! So I am determined to take proper time off this year and enjoy it!

Last week I was in Scotland visiting family over the Bank Holiday and in true Scottish style the weather was crap, bloody freezing to be exact. Our friends took great pleasure in telling us we missed a heat wave whilst we were north of the border. Typical!
My dad is doing better (thank you so much for all the lovely messages). Everyday is still hard but he is walking and getting to grips with what has happened.
May is an expensive month for me as my car tax, MOT & servicing are due as is my £300 gas bill *faints. I am meant to be saving for my holiday to San Fransisco at the beginning of June. At the moment I have save a massive total of Nil pounds. Might have to resort to selling my entire makeup collection (NEVER!).

I am driving up to Scotland today to see my dad and am looking forward to relaxing for a few days. Easier said than done. This week I received my travel documents for my holiday to San Fransisco in June so I am officially getting excited. I need to do some serious saving this month so I have put myself on a 5 week spending ban (wish me luck).

Its been one hectic week. My husband & I headed down to London early on Friday morning from Liverpool and had the most amazing time. I’m sure if you follow me on any social media platform you would have seen that my brother ran the London Marathon. It was his 4th year in a row and he ran it in a PB time of 3.24. So I’m really proud of him! He ran for charity Virgin Just Giving Page.
The weather was amazing and I did a little retail therapy. Just what I needed. My mum also came and it was great being able to spend time with her. She lives in Scotland and I don’t get to see her too often. We shopped and had alot of fun walking around in the beautiful sunshine discovering new places to eat, parks to sit in and sights to photograph.
We stayed 4 days and enjoyed every minute. London is always a city that inspires me, but I do love to come home and get back into my routine. As I said I did a fair bit of shopping & will be doing a post about that this week. So keep your eyes peeled for that.
