Sorry I haven't been here for the last few days, I've been quite busy and tired. Well sure look it's practically Friday now at this stage, so yay for the weekend! :D I hope everyone has a been having a good week anyways :)
So last time I was here was Monday and I had been to town to collect my new retainer. So on Tuesday I had to be up early again. I was up at eight in the morning to get my hair washed and not what to be out the door for quarter past nine. Luckily I was fairly on time and when I left my house to head for the bus I met my neighbour and she offered me a lift tot he bus stop so that was really handy :) When I got to town I had a few minutes to wait before my second bus arrived so I headed into Penneys for a few minutes for a quick look around. After that I got my second bus to where I was going to have my driving lesson. When I got there I was half an hour early so I went into McDonalds to pass the time and I got a cup of tea €1.40 :) My lesson was at quarter to ten and it was for an hour.
My instructor was able to let me off in town when the lesson was over and that was perfect as I was meant to be meeting my cousin in town for half twelve. My cousin didn't arrive in town until one o' clock so I spent and hour wandering around Penneys (I honestly think that they must think that I'm like obsessed with them or something because I've been in there so many times this week :P) and I saw nothing that I hadn't seen before. However, I did discover all the amazing things they have in the home range! :D They have so many cool things for the house like little lights and stuff, which I really wanted a box off (only €4) but I told myself that I have no place for them and to avoid the temptation :P They also have really nice duvet cover sets which I also want one off :D
After floating around Penneys for sssoooo long I said I''d move on and so I headed down to New Look. I always find that New Look is a bit on the expensive side as you can always find similar clothes in Penneys for better prices, Anyways, I took a look through their sale rails and nothing was jumping out at me. I continued to just browse around and I spotted a really pretty, kinda fancy dress and I really liked it. I took a look at it and it was on sale for €15 down from €37 so I was like ok that's alright. I then saw that it was in a size 8 and even though I'm a size 6 it was so nice I said I would just try it on anyways. I tried it on and I really liked it and it fit fine :)
By the time I had tried the dress on it was time to head off and meet my cousin. When we met up I told her about the dress and I said I wanted to head back to New Look to look at it again to see if I really wanted it. So we went back and she took a look around and found some stuff she wanted to try so luckily the dress was still there and so I tried it on again and I decided that for the price that it was and as nice that it was that I would just go ahead and get it :D
When we finished there I was starting as I hadn't eaten since my breakfast. We headed to a little cafe called Cupán Tae but it was too busy so we had to go somewhere else. We decided to go to Griffins Bakery for our lunch in the end after much debate. We ordered a pot of Earl Grey tea to share and then I ordered pancakes with Nutella and my cousin order a bagel with cream cheese and bacon. Unfortunately, our lunch was disappointing :/ When my pancakes came they were not what we expected. All I got was two really thin pancakes and a tub of Nutella. I expected some nice decent pancakes drizzled with a chocolate sauce or something so I wasn't too impressed. As for my cousin, well her bagel came without the bacon so we sent it back. There was no sign of the bagel after almost fifteen minutes so in the end we told the staff and cancelled the order and just got up, paid our bill (which was almost €10) and left. We were very unhappy to say the least...
After our disappointing lunch we headed to Penneys for another look around. During my previous visit I spotted a really nice pair of shoes that I quite liked. I was really unsure of them however. When I tried them on there seemed very pointy which I didn't like so I put them back. I tried on another few tops and stuff but nothing really jumped out at me. We strolled around for another while and then as my cousin hadn't gotten any proper food at lunch we decided to go to Cafe Express. She finally got her bagel with bacon and she said it was really good.
When she finished her late lunch it was almost five o' clock so it was time to be heading to meet my mom at the garage so we could collect our car. We walked down to the Galway Shopping Centre and we took a look in the Penneys. I spotted the really nice shoes I had seen earlier in the day there again. When I saw them I decided well this must be a sign so I got them and said to myself I can always return them if I really don't like them so I got them and they were €21.. Well by then it was half five so I went over to the garage and met my mom and we went home.
When we got home I tried on my new dress for her and she loved it :D She also liked the new shoes even though I was still a bit iffy about them. We took it easy for the evening then and just watched some TV. I headed to bed around one-ish as I had to be up at quarter to seven on Wednesday :O
On Wednesday I was up early as it was the day that the Leaving Cert results came out. We were able to collect our results from school at nine so my mom and I were on the go early to be up and out. As it happened we were there way to early (we got there at ten past eight) so we had to sit around and wait. Luckily my principle opened the doors a few minutes before nine and so I went in and collected my envelope :) I opened it in the car with my mom and we had a look at my grades and then totted up how many point I got. Overall I was happy enough with my results and I got just short of 500 points :) We shall just have to wait until Monday now to see if I'll have gotten enough to get a place in college.
After we got my results my mom had to go to work. She brought me as far as her work and then I got a bus and walked up home. When I got home I had some tea and biscuits and then I headed up to bed again :P I had intended to try and get some sleep however, I was so busy talking to people and stuff that I was pretty much on my phone for the whole time. I got up and had lunch around three and then I had a shower and got dressed for heading out for dinner. I also wanted to try and so some waves in my hair. I did my best with my curling wand but it didn't really work. At that point I was a few minutes behind and so I got my stuff together and I headed out to get a bus into town.
I got the bus no bother and I headed to Milano where I was meeting my mom and my cousin's wife for a celebratory dinner :) I was the first there, then my mom arrived around half five and then my cousin's wife a couple of minutes later. I ordered dough balls for my starter ad they were really good. For my main course I had a pizza with ham and cheese and I must say I struggled to get threw it was I was filling up fast :P Even though by the end of the main course I was feeling quite stuffed I decided to go ahead an have a dessert anyway :D When we go to Milano I usually get the chocolate fudge cake that is just DIVINE but I just knew I'd never fit it in. In the end I just went with the Honeycomb Cream Slice. It was really nice but it as really just a cheesecake. Everyone else had salads and tea for their desserts.
We hadn't seen my cousin's wife in ages so we had lots to chat about and catch up on so we ended up being there three hours! :D We had a really had a lovely evening. I was happy enough we were there so long even though I was tired but I knew that I was too stuffed to even attempt to walk to the car after all the food :P Anyway I finally made it out of the restaurant and we went home. I was after nine when we got home so we just chilled in front of the TV. I headed to bed around half one and I was wrecked. I fell asleep almost straight away and I only woke once or twice during the night. I finally woke at one o' clock and I was delighted that I had gotten such a great sleep as I felt I really needed it after the early, long days I had earlier on in the week :)
I didn't do much for the rest of the day. I got up around half two or three and I had my breakfast and then I had a Skype session with my besties for almost two hours :D At half four we said our good byes and I went and had a shower and got myself together. I was wearing my black high waisted jeans today and I thought hhmmm I wonder how my new shoes would look in it. I had tried them on the day before but I was still unsure of them. Anyway when I tried them today I liked them much more and after my mom and friends assured me that they were nice I decided to de-tag them and wear them for the evening :)
At half six I headed off with my dad and we just went to visit my nana and then my sister and aunt. I was home again around half eight. My mom and I then headed to the shop and we got a card for my the upcoming birthday of my cousin and while we were there we also got some ice cream. After the shop I went for a practice drive around the place for a half an hour, When we got home it was almost ten so I jumped into my pjs :P We then dug into the new ice cream and we were well impressed with it :D It was one of the new Cadburys shnazzy ice creams with sweets and stuff in them and it was really good :)
After the ice cream we put the TV on but there was nothing worth watching. Seeing as there was nothing on I said oh this is the perfect time to start a new post and catch up with It's a Rosy World after my few days absent days and sure here we are now :)
So now I think we are all up to date again :D I have no plans for tomorrow, I'm hoping it will be something like today and I can just take it easy for the day, stay in my pjs and maybe watch some movies :)
Well I am going to make myself a little midnight snack now, probably a toastie and then I better be heading up to bed. So night guys, I hop everyone sleeps well and has a good Friday :) Chat later :*
Kate! Xx
