With September being well under way now I just want to write about some
of our plans for the next month as its going to be a busy one!!!
The first that’s happening is my husband is turning 33 (he might be
turning 33 but he’s a 10 year old at heart) and this weekend we had a small Dr
Who themed party with decorations, blow up Darlek and a tardis coloured cake.
Me and my brother have also been researching Doctor who foods mentioned in the
show and we want to see how much of a geek he is and how many he can say from
which Dr these are going to include marshmallow adipose, jelly babies, fish
fingers and custard, jammie dodgers and celery.
His birthday isn’t until the 11th however all he wants to is
relax for the day so the day I have planned breakfast in bed, calming bath,
foot rub, movies and his favourite meal Lasagne. He also wants to go out for a
meal so I think we will do that on the 12th a nice excuse to dress
up and be fancy.
We also have a wedding this month Riches mum is getting remarried on the
13th of this month so we are currently in search for an outfit mode.
The last time I saw riches family was our wedding and I looked a lot thinner so
am slightly worried about being the fattest person there. I have two
choices of dresses a lacy coral dress and a blue and white 1950’s style a line
dress both from Asos. I brought the coral dress last spring and love it
but never worn it because I feel too lumpy in it and I like the other dress but
I’m not sure if it’s smart enough for a wedding. I also have no shoes or
accessories I’m thinking of wearing nude flats and a pashmina or smart jacket
with some simple gold jewellery.
This month we welcome Autumn and I can’t wait spicy apple candles,
colder weather and a chance to give my wardrobe and house a sort.
Although I am not a cleaner I do love a good sort and I have planned the last
two weekends dedicated to having a sort through our bedroom, living room and
kitchen.
In the bedroom I like to pack away all the summer clothes and crack out
the cute hats and woollen cardigans/jumpers and riches hoodies. I always buy
myself new Pj’s and put on a more autumnal duvet set and really get the bedroom
ready for cosiness all the while doing a general declutter of unwanted clothes
and general odd and ends to take to a charity shop.
The living room is going to have a bit of a small makeover. We are
inheriting some new sofas and a new T.V when my dad moves house, so we want to
clear a lot of the clutter and repaint a wall between getting rid of the old
and collecting the new. We decorated this room last year so all it
needs is a small freshen up.
Then there’s the kitchen (await the rambley rant)I hate our kitchen and
when I say I hate my kitchen I don’t mean just a little of the kitchen I mean
the whole of the kitchen from the horrible green walls and tiles to the lino
that never looks clean to the cupboards that everything falls out of. If
we owned the flat I would rip it all out and re-plaster the walls and
completely start again however, we only rent and don’t plan on living here
forever so we are stuck with the cupboards and lino. I can do something I
can paint it but I am conflicted do we want to pay out to paint it when were
only planning on living there a little longer? We have decided that it
needs a clear out we have so much junk in our kitchen that the plan is to
condense it to make it a little more manageable while we decide if we’re going
to paint it or not.
So after the parties and cleaning and work we also want to have a couple
of walks catch the last early evenings of summer ready for it getting cooler.
