Time to catch up :)

Hey guys,

Ugh it's good to be back! :D I have to say, I have really missed being here over the last few days and I'm so glad to be back now :) Oh exciting stuff :P Hahaha gosh I'm sad really amn't I? XD Ah but sure tis all good fun isn't it :P So now, well I barely remember when I last posted so beware, this is looking to become a long one :P

So my last post was last Thursday so yup I have a good bit to fill you all in on :P Well, Friday was another day of babysitting, first day with parents. Well I was in charge of my niece who is the youngest of the two and so the two of us were up early at half seven. We got up and I changed her and I gave her her breakfast and the a bottle and then by the time I'd managed to do all that it was nine o' clock so it was time to put her down for another snooze so that was all grand :)

When it came to making her bottle I got a bit of a surprise when I opened the steriliser. So the night before my sister and I had loaded it up with bottles and stuff and we threw in one of my niece's teething ring things as I thought that it went into it for the night. However, as I came to find on Friday morning, you do not actually put them in the steriliser as they are made of plastic :P This unfortunately did not dawn on us the night before. When I opened the steriliser on Friday morning I was greeted by a pink blob of melted plastic XD The whole was just ruined and it had burst and everything so then we had to go and do the whole sterilising process all over again  XP So ya, that was quite the blonde moment for sure :P

For the rest of the day everything else went grand and all their stuff survived and was not ruined :P The babies also survived, as did we :D My mom also arrived to us much earlier than we had expected as we thought she wouldn't be with us until around 6, however, she arrived at 2 instead so we had extra hands on deck, and she also came with cake :P

So later in the evening my mom brought my sister who had been babysitting with me to the bus as she had work back at home on Saturday so she had to go. My mom and I managed grand for the rest of the evening and the babies went down to bed grand, thankfully :) After that we just relaxed in front of the tele for a bit and watched our beloved Home and Away and then we decided to hit the hay :D

On Saturday morning my niece didn't wake until half eight so we got an extra hour in bed :D She also slept very well Friday night too as she only woke once around 1 looking for her dodie and then there wasn't a peep out of her again so I was very happy with her :D

We got up anyway and my mom got up with us and gave me a had with her morning routine :) Once the baba went back to bed for a snooze my nephew woke and then we got him all sorted out. Then the two of them were good for us for the rest of the afternoon. Shortly after four o' clock my sister and her husband arrived home. Now we were under the impression that they were going off to the afters of another wedding so we were still in babysitting mode. However, after a while we all came to realise that my sister had forgotten to tell us that they weren't going to the wedding that night an that they were home for good! Well, we all felt as stupid as each other :P Let it be know that communication is key people! :D

So anyways my brother-in-law had a football match that evening so my sister and my nephew went along to the match for awhile :) It was a bit chilly and breezy and my nephew did run out onto the pitch a few times during the match ( :O ) but we had a grand time, It all ended well anyways as my brother-in-laws team won :D When we got home my mom had my niece practically ready for bed. In no time at all it was time for the two babies to go to bed for the night. I was left in charge for a short while as my mom and sister went out for a walk and my brother-in-law had gone out.

While they were out I decided to have a party for myself and I had popcorn and coke and all sorts of goodies after that :D I wasn't holding back :P We all just watched TV for a while when they got back and sure then it was our own bedtime so we headed off. As my sister was home I had a baby-free night with no monitor to be constantly watching so I  had a grand sleep and I slept until quarter twelve :D

My mom wanted to be on the road home fairly early as she had plans so I just got up and dresses and had my breakfast and then we headed for home around one o' clock time :) When we got home my mom was heading out to meet my aunt so I headed up to my room to unpack and chill. I brought my laptop up with me with the intention of working on here on It's a Rosy World, however, that did not happen. Being reunited with my laptop meant I was able to catch up on Facebook and stuff so the time went fairly quick, and I also started to watch the movie The Breakfast Club.

I didn't have time to watch the full thing as I needed to have food and then my mom and I headed to six o' clock mass. After mass I went with my dad for awhile and we just did some visiting :) When I got home I suggested to my mom that we got to Supermacs for some food, and so we did :D I hadn't eaten much during the day so I decided to be greed and have TWO plain burgers and a large chips and it was so worth it! :P We just chilled with the TV for the night and watched the only movie that was on the box which was The Queen, which was alright. As per usual I had a fairly late night, I suppose it was around two o' clock time :P

I was up this morning around eleven as I had to go to town to collect my new retainer that I went to the orthodontist for last week. It all went grand and the new retainer is grand :) At the moment it seems to be the best option as it will keep my teeth the way they are now, even though they have moved. However, maybe in a few years if I have saved enough I can get braces again and re-straighten them :) After I collected my retainer I just went to Boots to get some Vitamin C soluble tablets to take with my iron tablets. I then had a stroll around Penneys before getting the bus home again.

When I got home I set up my laptop as I wanted to finish watching The Breakfast Club, even though I wasn't really feeling it. I threw a wash on and had my lunch and then I finished the movie. I have to say I didn't really enjoy it. I know it's meant to be one of these classic movies but I just didn't really see the point in it :/ My mom had also text me and asked me to boil some bacon so I did that too :)

Our car is kinda out of action at the moment so we didn't get out for a drive this evening but that was alright. We did our usually, we had dinner, watched Home and Away and then we just chilled for the evening :) Oh I also found my diary today as I had forgotten to bring it with my to Scotland so I had been wondering about it's where abouts. I found it last night anyway hiding on the big couch so I got it all filled up and back on track earlier :D

So for tomorrow I need to be up early as I have a driving lesson at quarter to eleven but I need to be up in good time as I have to wash my hair before I head out, ugh. After my lesson I might be meeting up with my cousin in town. Other than that I think that;s about as exciting as my day will be :) Of course I'm sure I'll be spending much of my time thinking about Wednesday as that's when I am getting my Leaving Certificate (final exams) results, but I'll talk more about that tomorrow evening :)

So now, I think we are all up to date once more :D It's good to be back and hopefully I can stay on track now! :) I hope everyone had a good weekend and that you all survived another Monday :P Well, I should really start getting ready to head up to bed now if I want to get some sleep in for tomorrow :P Night now and I shall chat to you all again tomorrow :) :*

Just another day :)

Hey guys,

Well can you believe that's Thursday over and done with for another week!? The weather seemed to be so much better today than yesterday. Typical. The day I don't put a foot outside the door and it's lovely. Yesterday when I was making my way around it was pouring. Hhhmmmmm. Anyway, I hope everyone had a good day :)

I had an alright day, pretty busy. I was up at half ten to watch the babies for my sister as she had to go to an appointment. So my babysitting duties started early. We got on grand for the hour that she was gone, thankfully :) The TV is am amazing thing, isn't it? :P When she cam home it was lunch time for the little ones and then it was our turn to eat and watch some Home and Away when they went for their naps :D

I got an hour and a bit all to myself later in the afternoon as my sis and the babies were going out to her friends. I had a few bits to do around the house for her before I could relax. When sat down I was trying to focus on my social media but I had Say Yes to the Dress on the tele in the background, and let's just say, it definitely had more of my attention than either Facebook or Twitter did :P

However, despite the major distraction I did get some stuff done :) When my sis got back she only had a few minutes to feed my niece before she had to go out again to collect my other sister. My sister is going away for the rest of the week to two weddings so we are here to look after the children :) 

I am here for the whole time, my other sis is here until tomorrow evening and my mom is coming down tomorrow evening when she finishes work and she'll be here with me until the wedding go-ers return :) Needless to say, I have a busy few days ahead of me :P

Well after dinner it was all go as my sister had to get ready to go. They got going grand and the babies were fine. The two went down to bed grand after half eight so hopefully they'll remain peaceful for the night :) :P 

Obviously, I have no real plans for tomorrow bar babysitting so I wouldn't expect too much excitement for me :P I imagine I'll be up early with my niece so I suppose I better get moving and ready for bed :) I hope you all have a good night and sleep well :) Night :*

A Rainy Day.

Hi guys,

Well it's Wednesday, we're half way there now :) To be honest I think the week is flying by! Someone said earlier that tomorrow's Thursday and I couldn't believe it :O I suppose when there's a long weekend the week always flies :) However, today was fairly depressing with the awful weather :/

I'm having an interesting experience writing this post tonight as I'm doing it on an iPad. I wasn't able to bring my laptop with me and I don't think I'd survive if I had to do this on my phone so I had to go for the iPad :/ I'm so used to being on my laptop when I'm writing/typing, it's so much easier and I can drift between all my stuff easier too, in other words I'm more easily distracted on my laptop :P However, I am being equally distracted tonight as we are watching a movie (The Gambler with Mark Wahlberg) :)

So today was another day full of travels for me. You know I think I've done more travelling this summer than I have anything else. Anyway so yup I had another slightly early start this morning. I set my alarm for half nine and then for ten, however, I could barely keep my eyes open and I didn't really need to be up that early so I stayed in bed until half ten :D After that I was fairly moving to get all my stuff together and get myself out the door for around quarter to twelve. I left my house at ten to twelve so I was pretty impressed with that achievement :P

I was kinda dreading the walk to the bus as I had my gear bag to carry and it was heavy. However, it wasn't too bad but I think that may have been because my should was gone a bit numb :P I had to leave that bit earlier because I had to stop into the pharmacy on the way to the bus stop to collect my prescription and iron tablets. I tried to give myself a good bit of time for going in there because they can be quite slow in there. Thankfully they were quiet and so I was only in there about 5 minutes. I was feeling really lucky then as just when I got to the bus stop the bus just came round the corner so I was delighted :D

When I got to town it was twenty five past twelve and so I had a few minutes to spare as my dentist appointment wasn't until quarter to one. I decided to go into Penneys to check and see if I could spot those grey denim jeans j had been looking for. Once again though I left empty handed. I then went to Dunnes Stores and got myself a new pair of slippers, pink ones of course and they cost €5 :P At this point it was twenty five to one so I made my way to the dentist.

I was going to the dentist/orthodontist as a few weeks ago my bottom retainer broke and at the time I didn't have a chance to go and get it fixed. Unfortunately since I left it so long my teeth moved :( So the new ortho I went to today took a mould of my teeth and is making me a new plastic retainer. I'll be collecting it on Monday.

I was finished at the orthodontist around five past one and my bus was at ten last two so I decided that I would go and get some lunch. I headed to my favourite spot in town to go, McCambridges :) As there pretty always is there, there was quite a queue waiting for tables. It's such a popular place and it's no wonder really as they really do do the best stuff there :D I was waiting a little under ten minutes for my table. It was nearly half one so I ordered straight away. I got myself some earl grey tea and two slices of toast and it was the perfect little fill up :) I had it pretty snappy as time was not on my side at this point. I paid for food which cost €4.10 and then went on my way.

Now this is when things turned for the worst. I got out of McCambridges and it was pouring rain. The streets were covered in water so in no time at all my shoes were weighed down with the water. Apart from my shoes my gear bag and myself were soon saturated. I was not a happy chappy. As I was making my way to the bus station I was debating with myself as to whether or not I should make a quick pit stop in Penneys to pick up a cheap pair of shoes that I could change into. I decided to go for it but sadly the queue in there was way too long to wait in so I had to put back the shoes I had picked up and make pace for the bus station. At this stage it was still pouring down and I was saturated.

I got to the bus station just in the nick of time at two o' clock. I then went and got my ticket from the ticket machine. I got a student single ticket that cost €15. I then went and got on the bus just in time. I didn't even have time to got the toilet! :O I then went and got a seat and tried to make myself as comfortable as possible baring in mind I was drenched. Then to top everything off, once we left the station the traffic was heavy everywhere around town :( We cleared the traffic anyways after a few minutes and then we were cruising for the next two hours. I finally arrived in Sligo at twenty past four and my sister collected me :)

We didn't do anything for the evening, just had dinner and watched some TV and of course spent time with the babies :) I have no plans for tomorrow, or for the next few days for that matter as I am here to babysit.  Obviously as I won't be leading an interesting life I probably won't be very lively or have enough to fill a a post so please forgive me. However, I'll do my best to keep in touch on Facebook and Twitter during the days :)

Well it's time to hit the hay now as I'll have another early start with the babies :P I'll chat to ye all soon :) Goodnight  :*

Kate! Xx

A Girly Day Out :)

Hey guys,

Happy Tuesday :) I hope you all had a good day and that you didn't get blown or washed away :P The weather was pretty bad here yesterday evening and through the night. There was a bit of flooding around the place and it was VERY windy. Thankfully, it was better today, no rain (yay!) but it was still quite gusty #windswept

I had a really good day today :D I was up early enough this morning, around quarter to ten. I was meeting one of my friends (Chloe, from Chloe's Ensemble Blog - http://chloesensemble.blogspot.ie/)so we could head to our other friends house for a visit. She had a fairly major surgery almost a month ago and we hadn't seen her since she went home from hospital and also it was her birthday last week too so we wanted to see her :)

As my OOTD I was originally thinking of wearing a dress, however, after seeing the weather I decided to wear my black high waisted jeans from Penneys that I go a few weeks ago, a grey t-shirt I got in Penneys last summer and I just threw on my new light denim jacket that I got two weeks ago, which is also from Penneys :P #Penneysfinest

We arrived at her house around 12.30 and stayed until 2.30. We just chilled together, listened to some music, attempted to watch a movie (Spy) but we got distracted (:P) and of course we had a good laugh (snapchat was busy :P) :D However, we had to leave again around 2.20 so we could get the bus down the road from her house at 2.30. We got to the bus in grand time and then we made our way to the G Hotel for some (more :P) afternoon tea :D

As the bus had to stop in town for a few minutes we arrived at the G shortly after 3 :) We took a wander through to see which lounges were free and to decide which one to occupy :) to our surprise two of the three lounges were completely empty! :O We choose to sit in the cream 'Grand Salon' room, in the same spot I was in with my mom yesterday :P There were a few other people enjoying themselves in there too.

We made ourselves comfortable, took a look through the menus and made of choices as to what to have, We decided that we were going to make an occasion of it and go all out :D I went with a plain scone, a pot of earl grey tea, a bowl of chips and a virgin mojito :D Chloe decided she too would have the plain scone and she had a cappuccino to go with it. Whilst waiting on our food I decided to be very blogger-y and takes pics of the magnificent interior for this post :P I only took pics of the lounge we were in but next time I'm there I'll try to take more diverse pics :) Anyways, the scones came out lovely and hot (once again :D) and instead of a little brownie as usual, our tea/cappuccino came with little mini buns topped with some kind of icing and a fancy edible thing and they were so cute and tasty :)

We scavenged away happily on our delicious lunch as we had worked up quite the appetite :P We were stuffed when we finally finished our food. At this point even though the day was very windy the sun had come out. As we were sitting by the floor to ceiling windows, we started to feel the heat very quickly. In no time at all with the sun hitting us directly and it felt like we were in a glass house. We were ready to melt! Thankfully, the staff were on top of things fairly rapid and the electric blinds were lower and the air conditioning was turned on, to our delight :P

Returning to our regulars temperatures, we got back to lavishing ourselves as Chloe decided that she too would go all out and joined me in having a virgin mojito :D The were lovely and refreshing and great for cooling us down after the heat of the sun. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves but as the saying goes 'all good things must end' so around half four we decided to part ways with our beloved spot and head to town. Altogether our lunch cost about €33. My order cost a little over €17 and Chloe's a little over €14 :) We had a fabulously great afternoon there, as we always do :)

Even though it was blustery we decided to walk to town from the G as it is only a 15 minute walk. We could have gotten a bus. however, that would have cost €2 for a journey that would only have lasted about 2 minutes so we decided to take to our feet :)

We reached town around ten to five and we only had two places in mind that we need to go to; Penneys and Boots. However, we needed to be cautious of our time as Chloe had to catch her bus at 6. We went to Penneys first as we figured that would be where we would be spending most of our time. I was on the look out for a pair of fab greyish denim high waisted shorts I had spotted in their Castlebar store, but unfortunately I didn't spot them :(

Chloe on the other hand was quite more successful. She really wanted to find a jumper she had seen online, however when we did find it it was too pink for her and she decided to leave it. She also picked up some sports/work out gear and a yoga mat.

For ages I have been meaning to get a hairbrush for my handbag as the wind always messes up my hair so I decided to pick myself up one while we were in Penneys :P It had a really cute design and it's light and seems strong which is what I want as my hair is thick and when the wind gets at it, its a knot fest, so I didn't want something that was going to fall apart when I try to put it through my hair :P But I gave this one a go when I got home and it worked grand :) Both my hair and the brush survived the event so it gets my seal of approval :D It was only €3 so I was happy out :)

I also spotted these pink facial sponges, and obviously because they are pink they were a must have, and a steal at just €1 for a two pack! :P :D However, I did actually need them as I do have two normal yellow ones (which I believe were €4 from where ever they were bought) but they are both in need of cleaning and my mom reckons these sponges are easier on the skin than muslin cloths which I previously used, so I said yup I'll use these :) I'll be putting them to use tonight so hopefully they'll be good :D

After our session in Penneys we made our way to Boots where Chloe just needed one thing, so that was a quick visit. At this stage it was twenty to six so we said it was time to head for the bus. I left Chloe at her bus stop where her bus had just pulled into when we got to it, and we said our goodbyes :) I then hopped on my bus and headed for home. It was nearly seven by the time I got home as the traffic was heavy :/

After watching our daily fix of Home and Away (we LOVE H&A <3) my mom and I went for a drive. Well it was a practice drive for me as we haven't been out in ages so it was good to get back into it :) I've been learning to drive now since Easter and I really like it :) I have ten of the twelve compulsory lessons done that you have to do before you can apply for your test, so nearly there :) After that it was relaxing time as it was nine o' clock.

That was around the time I started this post and as you can now tell I did take a few breaks but personally, I think it's impossible to sit down and write a post in one sitting! For me, although writing in one go would be really efficient, I just never have the time/chance to do that and I think I might lose my mind or something :P

Anyways, one of those breaks included me packing my bag as I am heading to Sligo tomorrow afternoon for a few days :) Let's just say, once again, my bag weighs an absolute tonne, I hope my shoulder doesn't like break or dislocate while I'm carting it around. Before I get the bus though I have an appointment with the dentist/orthodontist.

I had braces about five or six years ago and when I got them I off I got retainers to wear, which I have done so religiously every night for the last five years :P Unfortunately, when I got back from my trip to Sunderland a few weeks ago my bottom retainer broke :( I was really busy at the time, my friends were in hospital and I was working so I didn't have time to get to my old orthodontist. As a result of my delay and time without my retainer, my bottom teeth have moved D: My old orthodontist can't see me until the end of August so I am going to see a new guy tomorrow that my mom has been to so hopefully he can sort me out :)

So now I think I've said just about everything that's possible about my day today :) I am off now to try and do some wavy stuff with my hair, so hopefully that works out :P Better be heading to bed then as I have another early enough start tomorrow :)

So I shall love ye and leave ye for another night and I shall chat to ye tomorrow :D Night all :*

August Bank Holiday Monday :)

Hi guys,

Apologies that I was not very lively yesterday, to be honest I have no real excuse for my lack of activity, I was just being lazy. But sure now, I think we all need a few lazy days every now and then :P Plus it's a bank holiday weekend! :D

Anyway, I hope you all had a good and relaxed Sunday :) As I stated I had a fairly lazy, non productive day (nothing like it). I was really tired from my busy day of travels the night before and along with that I had a late enough night too (we're talking like half one time). As a result of this I slept in until quarter past two yesterday afternoon :P However, I got myself up and ready and I then spent the afternoon with my dad.

We just visited some family and we  were almost involved in a head on collision car crash when some car started coming at us on the wrong side of the road :O Thankfully there was no contact, which was lucky as it was very wet and slippy, but the other car just continued on their way (once returning to their side of the road). The car was a rented car so my dad reckons they might have been from America or somewhere where they drive on the opposite side of the road. About a half an hour later after we left my aunts house, we went to Dunnes Stores and there we saw the same car parked up and the people were just putting their shopping in the boot, what are the chances!?

I came home around half seven and for the rest of the evening my mom and I just ate and chilled in front of the TV :D There was absolutely nothing on the tele so we decided to watch Pitch Perfect 2. We have a HDMI cable to connect the laptop to the TV so it's really handy if we are watching something that's on the laptop, we can just plug it into the tele :) I had seen Pitch Perfect 2 before but my mom hadn't, plus we couldn't come up with anything else worth watching. I am a big fan of Pitch Perfect so I didn't mind watching it again :D However, my mom was too tired to stay up and watch the whole thing so I watched most of it by myself. I headed up to bed then around half one.

Today I got up at half twelve, I would have stayed in bed longer but my mom and I had decided that we would go to The G Hotel for some afternoon tea so I needed to be up to get my hair washed. I was thinking last night that I would like to put some waves in my hair so once I had my hair washed and dried I set up my curling wand. However, the waves did not go as planned. I have a lot of hair, that's also very thick and quite long so usually it takes my over an hour, close to two to curl. I decided just to do a small section to see if I could achieve the wavey look, however, it didn't really work out as it was too curly and brushing it out just made it really frizzy so I decided against trying to do the rest of my head. But then I was left with section of my hair that had a curl going through it and I could straighten it out with my hair brush or my mom's blow dryer brush thing so I had to try and pin it back :P Oh and as my OOTD (outfit of the day) I decided to wear my new playsuit that I got last week in Miss Selfridge :) I forgot to take a pic so here's one from when I got it :P

We went to the G Hotel at three o' clock. The car park to the centre it's in was packed, even the underground car park so we expected it to be packed (it's a bank holiday here). To our happy surprise though it wasn't too busy and we had the three designer lounges to choose from; the cream one, the pink one and the purple one. We decided in the end after a stroll through them all to go with the cream one where there was a table by the window :)

Usually at the G I have a chocolate scone however they didn't have any today so I just had a plain one, and it was delicious! It was a very big scone (woop), sprinkled with icing sugar and served hot (which I love), with butter, clotted cream and some raspberry jam. With my scone I had a pot of early grey tea and a glass of water. My mom had a fruit scone, lemon tea and a glass of water and she also said that her's was delicious :)

We had a lovely time taking it easy in the relaxing atmosphere and beautiful design of the 'Grand Salon' for an hour. Our tea cost just shy of €15, which is quite good for Galway's 5 hotel, and also one of the poshest :)

My mom and I and also my friends and I always enjoy a trip to the G. I have been there a number of times already this summer :D They do the best earl grey tea there and I favourite thing to have there is the Virgin Mojito non-alcoholic cocktail <3 I love sitting in unique lounges (especially the pink, or 'Ladies' lounge :P) and the staff are always so friendly :)

After our lovely time in the G we came home. At this point the weather turned for the worst. All evening it has been raining non stop and it's also really windy ;/ I believe a good few areas around the Prom and town are flooded this evening because of the bad weather. I hope it calms down over night as I am meant to be meeting up with my friends in town tomorrow :/

For the rest of the evening, my mom and I stayed inside and barely budged from the sitting room as it was too wet and depressing to do anything else. We just watching some move TV, even though there really wasn't anything on worth watching :P

I also spent my evening trying to make a new Twitter header for my profile and was that annoying. I wanted to use a background that had roses on it and then put 'It's a Rosy World' on that but because of the awkward size/shape of the Twitter header none of the pics I wanted to use worked right on it as they came out way to zoomed in and blurry :/ In the end I just went with a plain light pink background with 'It's a Rosy World' in a darker pink set on that. However, I am still unsure as to which font I should go for so I'll put the two options below and any preferences are welcome :D At the moment I've gone for the first one :)

Well, I have quite a busy week ahead of me. I really should find where I left my diary and get it back on track so I' know what I'm doing and when. Tomorrow I am meant to be meeting my friends and then going to town and then going to the G Hotel again :P So I really hope the weather is much improved as there's nothing worse than being out in the wet and cold :/

So I shall chat to you all again tomorrow when I'll hopefully have a good, exciting day to tell you all about (weather depending :P). Night now :*

Kate! Xx

Travel Day :)

Hi guys,

How are we today? Saturday, the weekend, at last :D I am absolutely wrecked after my busy week so I am dying to get to bed and have a good, long sleep in :D Ugh, my eyes are struggling to stay open as I even type this Zzz

Well I made it back home today :) I was up early this morning (half seven :O) getting myself ready and making sure I had all my stuff together and that I wasn't forgetting anything :P We left the house around ten to or five to nine and we were at the airport by quarter past nine :) When we got to the airport I checked in my suitcase and then my aunt walked me as far as security :) I got through security grand and just strolled around the few shops in the airport and then I sat myself down outside my departure gate. While I was passing the shops I spotted a cute, super soft pink little Loch Ness Monster (Nessie) teddy for £7.99. I decided that I would get it for my niece seeing as I hadn't gotten her anything :) They had a bigger one for only £9.99 but she's still quite small so I figured the small one would be best :D I also picked myself up a bottle of water and a packet of Fruit Pastilles :)

I was waiting at my gate for about 40 minutes before boarding started. My flight was at 11 so we were to be boarding at 10.35. At exactly that time they called all passengers who were in rows 1 to 10 to board first. Fortunately I was in seat 10A so I was one of people who got out first :P We set off shortly after 11. However,  the flight did not turn out to be as peaceful as I hoped it would. There was quite a few children on board the flight and that was grand, however, there was one child who did nothing but scream for pretty much the whole hour and twenty minute flight D: It was not fun. However, I got myself a cup of tea (they were out of hot chocolate - my preferred option :( ) and a short bread biscuit to help myself enjoy the trip :P

We landed in Dublin no bother at about 12.40. The plane was parked away from the terminals so we had to be bused to the terminal building. From there we walked through immigration and then on to baggage collection. When I got that far only one or two bags had come out so I decided to make a quick bathroom stop. Just as I was coming out of the toilets there was my bag right in front of me on the carousel,  which was so handy :D I just took it off and made my wait out into arrivals :)

From there I went to Terminal 1 as that;s where McDonalds is :P Unfortunately, there is no proper food places (well, good ones) in Terminal 2 so I had no choice but to head for Terminal 1. It was about ten past one when I got to McDonalds and I got myself some chips and what not :D I was kinda rushing at that point as my bus was meant to leaving at quarter to two and it was already twenty past one by the time I had gotten my food. So once I finished eating it was time for another quick pitstop and then I hurried myself out of the Terminal and over to the bus zone.

The bus was really busy and I think I got the last two seats together and that was near the back of the bus. Usually I prefer to sit near the front but on this occasion that was not an option. So I threw my laptop bag and my handbag on the seat beside me, put on my sunglasses (the weather was ssooo good in Dublin), got my earphones out and stuck on some music :) As it happens because the bus was so busy that it was decided that we wouldn't stop in Dublin City and so to keep with time schedule we didn't leave the airport until quarter past two.

The bus journey was grand and comfortable and I must say it felt quite quick for a near three hour treck. I was on a GoBus bus and their buses have sockets which is just like the best thing ever :D Thanks to those mighty inventions (and the WiFi) I was able to use my phone as much as I wanted without worrying about killing it for the journey :D I did sleep for most of the trip too though :P I had my neck rest so I was happy out :)

I got off the bus at half four and my momma collected me <3 Once I got home I dished out all the stuff in my suitcase that was for my mom to her and then I brought it upstairs and put everything away so I wouldn't end up living out of it :P After that, it was time to head to mass. When we got home we had some food and then both my mom and I relaxed in the sitting room for the evening :) We watched the childrens movie Paddington and it was so good, a really good laugh :D I would defo recommend it :P

Well look at that, it's ten to one already :O Believe it or night I started this post at like eight this evening but I was just too tired to focus, then we watched Paddington but sure here we are now all done, at last :P

I just had a few midnight snacks there so I think I'm pretty much all ready to head up to bed, I just have to overcome the technology ;P

Night now and I shall chat to ye later :*

Almost home time :)

Hey guys,

So it's my last night here in Scotland :) I am as packed as I can be until the morning when just the last few bits have to go in the case. My boarding pass is printed and I have my bus ticket for getting home booked so I think I'm all sorted :D I have a few busy weeks ahead of me now when I get home (Leaving Cert/ CAO results, babysitting, meeting up with friends etc...) but I'm looking forward to seeing everyone :)

As you know if you have been keeping up to date with my latest blog posts I went to see the new movie Hot Pursuit this evening and I really enjoyed it :D The movie was very funny and overall it was a very good movie :) I loved the combo of Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara, they were both brilliant :D The movie I would say is only about an hour and a half long so it's not one that you are sitting there going please end :P I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a laugh :P

After the movie we went for a quick game of crazy golf and that was good fun too :) We went for a game earlier this week too but I played a much better game this evening :P When we finished that we held ourselves back from playing the claw machines to try and win a Minion and headed for home. 

So now I'm just chilling in front of the TV with a glass of milk and a chocolate bun and rice krispie bun :D But I better be heading to bed now as I have to be up around seven or half seven to get myself ready and to get going :) Hopefully I'll be able to keep up the good streak of blogging I've been having this past week when I get home, I promise I'll do my best to keep it up :P

Night now and chat again soon :*
