What I've been up to lately #26

I haven't posted a blog post in forever so I thought I'd do a what I've been up to lately post instead of a what I've been up to this week post! So here's what's been going on lately:

Mum and I went to buy me a new laptop as I was meant to start online school (but in the end I won't be doing that) but on our way there we fancied a drink so we went to Burger King

Carnaval season happened, we didn't take part in it really but one of the bandes went by our house so we went out to watch it

Read this book which isn't the type of book that I usually read but I loved it a lot! I lent it to my mum as it's the type of book she reads and even she loved it! We both gave it a 5 star!

As a dual national you now have to have a French passport and a British passport to be allowed into the UK. Mum and I had a British passport but not a French one (in france you don't NEED a passport as we have ID cards) so we applied for one and got them! Now we're just waiting for my brother and sister's British passports to arrive as they only had a French one (it's all a bit complicated lol)

It snowed!

I had an appointment with a cardiologist in Lille so I dragged mum along with me and we went to a Pub and had steak and chips and we even got desert and I had a Chocolate fondant which was very nice!

We went to England during half term and saw this very funny bottle of wine in the duty free lol

The Game Changers series came out on paper a couple days before we went to England and I've wanted to read Heated Rivalry for the longest time so I bought the whole series !!!! I was chuffed because they had these three in our local Waterstones in the buy one get the other half price but then we had a daytrip to Eastbourne and they had the other 3 books also in the buy one get one half price! We all ended up buying too many books again but we do that everytime we go to England lol!

Had a galette des rois (king's cake) as it was the Epiphany and I got the fève so I was very chuffed with this

We celebrated my sister's 21st birthday

 

Had fish and chips (well, battered sausage and chips) and when we go to Eastbourne our tradition is to go to Taco Bell!

My mum and my sister bought new shoes in Deichmann and they had this sign that made me giggle

My sister and I went for a walk to get my blood sugar levels down, we went to Aldi to stock up on paracetamol (beacause it costs a fortune in France if you don't have a prescription) and other things we don't find in France. But we'd both seen on tiktok that British Aldis had a selection of books for £3 so we of course had to check those out

We went through the car wash because my sister had never gone through it so we was very excited as she'd been asking to go through it for months!!

Came back home and the next morning there was a really bright rainbow

Spent many hours reading on the train. I finally got round to reading Heated Rivalry as well as The Long Game which were even better than I could have imagined!!!! I also watched the show (based on the first book - the second season of the show will be about the second book) and I also LOVED it, I'm currently re reading the books lol because I'm in a reading slump so it'll get me going again!

Spent even more hours reading at the coffee shop, mostly with my mum but also on my own a few times which was very fun!

Had heart shaped pasta as it was Valentine's day

Started going my makeup again which is very fun

This has been my go to makeup this month, I've been wearing it almost every day but I also wore different coloured makeup such as orange. I love wearing bright coloured makeup in the spring / summer, it brightens my mood!

It was the 8 year anniversary of my dad's death which was very sad 

Found the new franui in store (its basically raspberries covered in white chocolate covered in either dark, milk or ruby chocolate)

It was the local elections a couple weeks ago so me and my sister went to vote together

Went to the restaurant with my mum

My mum's school has a handball team and they were qualified to the final so we went to support them twice, neither of us knew anything about handball but it was still very fun

Went to read at the beach a few times as the weather is starting to be nice

Harry Styles released a new album and I received my merch a couple weeks ago

Me and my mum went for a picnic at the beach and as I went to the shop to grab us each a drink I found the asian food so I got these salted caramel pringles and some banana pringles which were supprisingly nice

I also found these red velvet cookies and barbeque flavoured pop corn which were also very nice 

Went to Lille a couple times to bring my brother to the orthodontist

Most exciting part of the last couple months was going to a hockey game with my mum. I'd accumulated a bit of knowledge about hockey since reading Heated Rivalry and I got to put that to use in real life lol. It was very fun I'm excited to go there again at some point!

Saw my sister a couple times when she came home to Dunkirk because she lives in Lille with her boyfriend now!

I've loved the brand about face for the longest time and they recently launched in stores in Europe which is very exciting and also bad news for my purse lol

Bought this t-shirt which I find hilarous - it's a play of words on Harry Styles' new album title 'Kiss all the time. Disco, occasionally' and Heated Rivalry! My two worlds colliding!

Had to go to the doctors to get a new prescription for one of my tablets and walked past these really pretty flowers on my way home

Ordered some skincare and makeup on yesstyle and received my order this week, I can't wait to use all of these!!! 

They opened the outside seating of the bars at the beach as it's spring and me and mum went for an alcohol-free cocktail which was nice as the weather was lovely!

And that's basically all I've been up to lately!!!!
