Life lately according to me!

Well the summer holidays have officially begun and I am loving it. Yesterday Michael and I had a 'date day' and we ventured out in the sun to Greenwich, a lovely place in South London-home to the (newly rebuilt) Cutty Sark and Maritime/Naval Museum. It is a busy area but not too touristy and has a beautiful park. I would definitely recommend Greenwich as a place to visit while in London. When Michael and I started dating, we used to go there a lot as Michael lived close by, so it carries lots of lovely memories :) We had a delicious lunch at a Mexican restaurant called 'Desperado's'. They haven't had the best reviews but we thought we would give it the benefit of the doubt and as we had 50% off with our tastecard we thought why not?! Michael had fajitias and I had steak and between us we saved £14! The food was actually delicious and the service very decent but best of all, my stomach was happy!

We then went on to the naval museum, cutty sark, Greenwich Market and got some yummy ice cream from an Italian deli-it was so good! We also visited this cute little vintage market and I got 2 bargains with a 'Groundhog Day' style clock for £2 (pictured below) and I also bought a gold rabbit necklace for £2. All in all, it was such a lovely day :)

 I seem to have gained a somewhat super strong shopping urge (well to be honest, it's nothing new) recently and have bought some other nice bits and pieces the past few days. I decided to get myself a few new pairs of shoes because I have a horribly painful ingrown toenail and I need comfy shoes! So I bought these two pairs from George at Asda for £13 and I think they're pretty cute!

Also, a used some of my John Lewis vouchers today on a Cath Kidston purse (£6), some East of India ribbon (£3.75) and a lovely heart memories box (£12) which I am going to use to fill with all our photos and mementos from our relationship-I am a super cheesy romantic but I think it's rather a nice idea don't you?

Tonight I am getting the waffle maker out and making some waffles with nutella-wish me luck! xoxo
