Week #47

Welcome to Week #47

Finally back on track with My Weeks, so let's get on with the show.

Monday - Wednesday

 This week was a busy one.

Monday me and my partner went to see 30 Seconds to Mars at the Metro Radio Area (we were standing and got such a great view).

30 Seconds to Mars - Metro Radio Arena

Tuesday, we had my stepson for the night.

Wednesday was time out at work (the surgery closes for a half day and we staff go off and do training).

Thursday - Sunday

This week was Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary, and we managed to catch up with Mark Gatiss's docudrama An Adventure in Time and Space (which was fantastic and had me crying by the end). I also went round my friends for a nice catch up.

Friday, we had Thomas so that was spent doing my nails for Doctor Who (In the Navy - Bourjois). The World Book Night books were also released today, a day early and there are some great ones.

Saturday was The Day of the Doctor and we went to our local Cineworld to see it (I have never seen it so busy and people were dressed up as Matt Smith, was fantastic)

Sunday, meant to be a lazy day but I had some retail therapy using my boots points (Boots Points Haul)

Week #32

Welcome to My Week 32,

Week 32 Part 1

Monday to Wednesday was somewhat busy especially at work, we had a holter test that had to be downloaded and sent off but due to scheduling conflicts between me and the HCA it had to be moved a couple of times

I also decided that I need to update my book journal (I take a notebook with me at all times to write up notes about the book so that when I come back to do a write up I always have notes about the story and the characters) Am way behind with updating it so that was a main priority on Tuesday. I have been using an ARC notebook as my book journal but I have read 70 books so far this year and it just can't take anymore pages so I was needing too buy some A5 poly pockets at the weekend and a A5 lever arch file to fit it all in.

Wednesday, me and my partner went to see Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (I will be doing a review soon on this) It was absolutely hilarious go and see it if you havent yet, I was crying with laughter.

Thursday was a quiet day the cats had an appointment at the vets for their boosters and a couple of treatments.

Friday was spent worrying about needing to program a holter test as the HCA who does them is on holiday and there was a request from the GP for a patient to have one done. I also had a meeting regarding an information package that we are putting into use at the surgery, and at lunch time I was told I shouldn't have been in (I actually had the day off and totally forgot about it), but instead of wasting half a day I just stayed in for the rest of the day and added it back onto my hols.

The weekend was spent relaxing as last weekend was quite a stressful one, I headed into the town centre and at the Art Shop I came across some Alice in Wonderland Stamps and I stood there for 5 minutes thinking wether I should buy them or not (as you can see I did and they look fantastic). We took my stepson to see Newcastle Diamonds vs Redcar Bears (a huge win for us 58-37)

Week #31

Welcome to My Week 31:

Monday to Wednesday

The start of the week was quite quiet (this was mainly due to the fact that payday was on Wednesday, and both me and my partner were both skint)

To celebrate pay day we decided to do an Orange Wednesday and go and see The World's End (The final in the Cornetto Trilogy starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) - A brilliant movie and I will do a review on that soon.

Shopping List for the Metro Centre

On saturday we were heading for the Metro Centre, so I had to keep a shopping list of what I wanted (i got everything but these kraft stickies from Paperchase, they seem to have stopped selling them, and I have lost the pack I had - so so so gutted)

Thursday to Sunday

Thursday was my partners birthday, so we had a little celebration with a cake, and then we were back out the door as we had to head to my friends to get my partylite order (may post re partylite, their candles and especially their melts are fantastic).

Saturday was spent at the Metro spending a small fortune, and Sunday was the biggest day of the Doctor Who calendar, Who was going to be playing the 12th Doctor. This was later revealed to be Peter Capaldi (I am honestly looking forward to what Peter Capaldi can bring to The Doctor, don't get me wrong I loved David Tennant and Matt Smith, but Capaldi can take this into a whole new direction)

Teesside Park 19.06.2013

We went to the cinema to see The Iceman starring Michael Shannon, Winona Ryder, and Chris Evans, so while we were over at Teeside Park I thought I would have a little look in Staples and Hobbycraft if i was lucky.

Staples Haul

 I didn't really buy that much from Staples this time due to the fact that it's near the end of the month, but the coloured notebook was only 70p and the stickies I use to mark down when I've started a new book, and the clips I use a lot at work so must haves basically.

Hobbycraft Papers

I saw these papers in Hobbycraft and thought that they would make excellent dividers in Jack and Violet (and Saffy (purple Saffiano) if I can get her next month

Hobbycraft Sale

Hobbycraft were also having a sale on some clearance items so I managed to get some stickers, stamps and some gorjuss notelets for under a tenner.

Hobbycraft items

I also grabbed some more smash books, deco tape, ink pads, and stamps. ( a lot of this you will see in the coming weeks).

Thanks for tuning in.

Oblivion

Last night me and my partner went to see Oblivion starring Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, and Andrea Riseborough.

I have to admit I went and saw this film because Tom Cruise was starring and the premise sounded good. I honestly never knew anything about the film barring there was a war and Earth had been partially destroyed.

OMFG it was a brilliant movie, I have never been as deceived by a trailer then I was when I saw Looper. This movie had some brilliant action scenes (I was on the edge of my seat), and it made you want more. The twist was really good and I never saw it coming.

Tom Cruise is on fine form as Jack left on Earth with one other to make sure that sufficient resources are collected so that the colony on Titan will have enough energy, when he finds out something that changes his perspective.

I have to admit I thought Andrea Risborough stole the show as Victoria,  I can't explain more as I'd be giving away spoilers (which I don't want to do)

Go see this movie if you like a good action movie, Tom Cruise, or a movie with a mental twist.

Thanks for tuning in.

The Host

Me, my partner and my niece both went to see The Host on Wednesday starring Saorsie Ronan, Jake Abel, and Max Irons.

The Host

I'd already read the book (written by Stephenie Meyer) last June and fell in love with the characters, so to see it being made into a movie, I had to go and see it.

I thought it was really good and quite truthful to the book, fair enough they probably did cut some stuff out but everything that was relevant to the story was there.

I have to admit I thought Jake Abel was a brilliant Ian, he brought a lot of intensity to the character, and I loved the relationship that he had with Wanda.

Overall to me a good movie.

Thanks for tuning in

Jack and the Giant Slayer 3D - My Thoughts

Me and my partner love a trip to the cinema and we went off to see Jack and the Giant Slayer 3D starring Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian McSHane, and Stanley Tucci.

Jack the Giant Slayer 3D

 It was a really good movie, and I found myself by the end of the movie on the edge of my seat with my fingers crossed rooting for Jack to make it.

Nicholas Hoult was fantastic as Jack, he was quite funny, but I have to admit Ewan McGregor was brilliant, he stole the show as Elmont.

If you like a movie with a bit of escapism, you'll like this movie.

Another surprise while at the cinema we got a 2for1 voucher, which we will be using as there is some good movies coming out soon.

Thanks for tuning in
