My weekend purchases!

So this weekend has been a bit up and down for me. Yesterday Michael and I had a lovely time down in Sussex at a daytime party with his family and we both headed home in the early evening. We were shattered when we got home and opted for our favourite treat-a curry! However we decided to order from a new restaurant just to see what was out there....big mistake! I have since felt really unwell after my curry, my IBS has been horrible and 24 hours later, my stomach still hurts! Plus, Michael found a wad of hair in his curry...so all in all, not a very pleasant experience...!

But in good news, I have made some lovely purchases this weekend! My bank balance is slowing dipping but I felt like these were necessary purchases ;)  I have been looking for the perfect brown/tan coloured sandals and whilst I do not highly rate Primark shoes (they usually last a maximum for 3-4 months for me and as soon as it rains they break apart but I guess you get what you pay for!). I found these pretty brown sandals tucked behind the sale rail, they were marked up for £7 which I thought were a bargain but the lady at the till rang them up as £4...even better!!! I will mostly probably wear these in Italy as no doubt we will do lots of walking :)

Also, another neccessary purchase for me was a small backpack for every day use. I have been searching on Ebay for the perfect one but I always found them a little too expensive and garishly printed so I found this one in Primark, again tan coloured, for only £9. It is small and only just about big enough for my work stuff but it does the job, as years and years of shoulder bags have literally given me permanent shoulder pain! This will also be fab for holidays and little summer trips :)

Also, I bought a few days ago, this super cute travel journal-I want to use it for all of mine and Michael's future adventures and it only cost me £4 from Play.com. It isn't particularly 'cool' and it quite childlike but I love the little sections for photos and in the back are pouches for souvenirs like tickets etc. Lovely stuff :)

Lastly, were my new sunglasses-actual prescription ones that I can see through. Hurray! These are for the sunny days where I just can't wear my normal glasses. I got them from Specsavers-originally they were £69 but with student discount they were only £50! Quite a lot for sunnies you may think but these will last a while. The only thing I don't like is the slight purple tinge you get from the outside of the sunglasses-not great but something which won't really bother me.

I am off now to watch the football (thank god it's the final, does it ever stop?) and Michael is making us some yummy pasta. Really hope I feel better soon. xoxo
