What I've been up to this week #12

This week has been totally chaotic and so much has happened so let's go on a trip down memory lane! Once again the pictures won't load in the right order so we'll be starting from yesterday to end up at last sunday lol

Yesterday was moving back home day so my day started at 5am lol. I finished tidying a last few bits and waited for my best friend to arrive with the van we rented for the day. I was a bit stressed we would have an accident but it went completely fine and he even said it was a lot easier to drive than he thought. He arrived at my flat at 9:40, we filled the van up in like 30mn then drove back to Dunkirk which took just over an hour and emptied the whole van in 30mn thanks to my mum and my brother helping us.

Then we drove back to Lille because we had to hand the van back in at 4:30 and after that we went for a coffee and then my best friend's girlfriend met up with us and we ended up going for a drink at the bar and went to the restaurant after that (I had the worst salad ever and my drink that I always have and is always lovely tasted disgusting so it was quite disappointing)

Friday morning I got a message saying I'd won a football ticket giveway so my sister's boyfriend drove my sister and I to Dunkirk in the evening to watch the match with my brother, it was a lot of fun

Went for a coffee on friday afternoon and then went to a new book shop in Lille that specialises in romance books and they apaprently had loads of lgbtq+ books and loads of stickes so I ended up buying books and stickers for my sister and I 

Thursday was the funnest day of the week and will probably be in the top 5 best days of 2025. My best friend lives in the Netherlands and usually a few times a year we meet up either somewhere in the Netherlands or in Lille to hang out for a couple days or even a week. We hadn't hung out in 18 months for some reason so she had a day off work that week and I needed a break from tidying my flat so we said let's meet up (we planned it less than 24 hours before meeting up lol). We chose to meet up in Rotterdam (city I'd already spent a couple days in two summers ago with my other best friend) so I got the bus at 6am arrived there at 10am. We went to the Remastered experience which I'd alread done but I knew she woud love it. We obvioulsy had to stop at Albert Heijn and my friend made me taste all the different types of peppernotten (typical small buiscuit that is only around at Christmas). We had a picnic then we wanted to go to this shop called 'its a present' that I'd seen on tiktok. I bought a couple presents for a couple people, then we ended up in a really cool shop where my friend bought some incence, she bought me some cristals and I bought an essential oil. We also saw on tiktok that there was a photobooth in a café in Rotterdam so we went there and took some pictures. We also wanted to go to the disco booth but didn't have time! Then it was already time to slowly walk back to the station, say goodbye and get the bus back to Lille. The way there was only 3 hours but on the way back it took 4 hours because we were stuck in traffic for 30mn and we had a 30mn break lol

On Wednesday night me and my best friend hung out, we went to the bar for a couple drinks and then came back to my flat to eat some gyozas and watch some youtube videos

Just before hanging out with my best friend I hung out with my sister. We wanted to go to Sostrene Grene because they have all their christmas stuff out and we saw on tiktok that they had some new fun junk journalling supplies so we went there and then we both knew they had teletubbies blind boxes at pop mart (which opened like 10 days ago) so we went there and bought a couple things after queueing for a bit. The wait was worth it because we both got exactly what we wanted !!!

Spent many hours on the train this week fueled by coffee 

On monday I hung out with my new friend at the coffee shop which was a lot of fun too!

We were having Deliveroo on Saturday night (in Dunkirk) and my sister (who was in Lille) was invited and she came all the way from Lille for Deliveroo lol. We watched Meann Girls which I'd never seen and it's quickly become one of my favourite films ever it was so fun to watch. We both needed to get the train back to Lille on Sunday so we got the train together!

That's it for this week lol see you next week for more adventures!
