A Day in The Life - Bank Holiday Edition!

Hi!

I know that the 'Day in the Life' post is part of some kind of bloggers challenge (that I'm not doing) but I thought it was a good idea for a post and a good way to show ye what I got up to at the weekend. I picked Bank Holiday Monday as the day to cover, because basically, my usual Monday-Friday is incredibly boring - cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, etc. Nobody needs to read that. Here's what I did on Monday!

Because Shane had no school today, that meant no alarm. Yay! But as usual, my two 4-legged alarm clocks out the back were bang on time (and banging on the door) at 8am for food.

Puss Puss and Shadow. Puss Puss has a baldy backside due to stress, according to the vet...

After I sorted them out and we got a quick breakfast, we headed over to a local car boot sale. It's one of the bigger ones, only held on Bank Holiday Mondays.

To be honest, there was a lot of overpriced shite at it, but I did manage to grab a few bargains - if you're going to a boot sale, make sure you set a spending limit. I brought €10 in coins, no more. Also bring a plastic bag. And haggle! If you're buying DVDs, make sure you inspect them for scratches or marks. Here are the bits & pieces I got - I had to include the Next shoes, because they were such a bargain - I picked them up at the outdoor market in Cavan on Sunday, brand new, in their bosca, for €7.

Mother of Pearl vase (for make up brushes) - 20c. Gilmore Girls Season One boxset - €5. Next shoes (from Cavan) - €7.
Floral dish (for rings/earrings) - 50c. Necklace - 50c. Jewellery box - €3.80

When we came home, Mum called up for a visit - bearing cake.

After, I finished the book I'd been reading:

Played a couple of levels of Mario:

And had a flick through Elle magazine, bought purely for the chance to try Benefit: They're Real! without spending over €20.

13 pages of Ads before you even get to the contents? Won't be buying you again, Elle...

After doing a quick bit of housekeeping (put fire down, bringing clothes in off line), I made some pasta and sat down to catch up on blog reading.

Later on, after I gave Shane a bath & put him to bed, I had a look through another module of my nail course:

And then sat down in the sitting room with a mug of Wispa hot chocolate (addictive shite) and watched my two go-to TV shows at the minute - the brilliant Cutting It and the gloriously cheesy Knots Landing. Thank you CBS Drama!

When Knots Landing was over, I headed to the leaba where this delicious beast awaited me (no, not the husband):

Ever since Rachelle recommended this pregnancy pillow, I've been dreaming about it. I finally got one last Friday, and OH, MY GOD. The difference in comfort is unbelievable. I still grunt like a sow when I have to get out of the bed five times a night to pee, but my back isn't half as sore and I no longer have to do this to try and launch myself out:

Awesome.

There you go - A Day in the Life of moi. Pretty much one of the lazier ones!
