What I've been up to this week #9

Started the week by changing my cgm and my patch


Had multiple appointments this week so I went to Lille for the week which meant I got to see my friends and go out a lot


Went to the bar 3 times this week, once with my best friend because I hadn't seen him for a week and once with someone I'm in the process of becoming friends with (I hope!!!)


Did a bit of shopping and of course had to go to lush and sniff all the snow fairy products because it's my all time favourite scent lush have come out with 


Went to the Italian restaurant


Spot the difference! Went to my favourite coffee shop ever twice this week (they have a salted caramel iced latte that I have cold with oat milk and it's the best coffee I've ever had!!)


Ended up spending a day in Brussels which was not planned at all but I had a lot of fun. We saw the manneken pis dressed up for world food day, we of course had to have a beer and I went to waterstones to eye up the books I want to buy when we go to England next week!


Had group therapy and we made butternut squash soup (which I'd never had but it was lovely. I even made mum taste the leftovers I ended up with) and we made mushroom and chicken pasta with bits of bacon which was really nice!!


Then I got the train back to Dunkirk and met mum outside her work a couple times 


And we finished the week by going to the coffee shop before an appointment at the bank!

What I've been up to this week #8

The photos arent really in the right order of what happened each day of the week but basically this is what I've been up to this week! Went for a drink at the beach with mum because we got too good to go bags at the Chinese restaurant at the beach as well as two in two different supermarkets at the beach. I had a monaco (beer with lemonade and strawberry syrup) and mum had a coke.


Went for coffee with my friend I met at uni 2 years ago, I hadn't seen her since I went to visit her in Bulgaria this summer (she worked there for two months!) so it was lovely to catch up. We got coffee from a new coffee shop in Lille called Need Coffee and I had a salted caramel iced latte which was the best coffee I've ever had so I will definitely be going back there whenever I get the opportunity!


Went to the restaurant with my best friend and my sister. He had pesto pasta, my sister got truffle pasta and I got a truffle pizza which was lovely!


Spent Thursday afternoon at my best friend's flat and he received his new robot vacuum cleaner and named him Ken because he named his house Mojo Dojo Casa House (like in Barbie) lol it was hilarious


Every single time I go to his flat I take a picture in the mirror lol 


Went to group therapy and we made Spanish omelettes and I made apple crumble which I was chuffed about because I never usually manage to make the crumble part of apple crumble (even though its dead easy now I've realised how you're meant to do it)


Went to the bar with my best friend and ordered another monaco lol and we got this pen that the bar was giving out to everyone with the name of the bar on it lol my best friend said he'll take it to work and sign important contracts with it lol!


Quick selfie before doing something mum won't be happy about... I got a new piercing, I got my helix pierced which I was a bit scared was going to hurt but it didn't at all! I went to iottel tattoo x piercing shop in Lille because my friend owns the place so I always go there. 


Saw a cat in the street 


Went to the bar (again) with a friend and had.. yes you guessed right, another monaco 


Wore this makeup every day this week lol 


Started a new book!

What I've been up to this week #7

Started the week with a pretty sunrise 


Then I got ready beacause I had a date that night and she bought me flowers (it was my first time receiving flowers at a date !!)


We even caught the pretty sunset at the beach during our picnic


Didou sunbathing


Quick selfie 


Went out for beers with one of my friends 


Wore lots of colourful makeup this week :)


Went to group therapy and we made bacon cheeseburgers and we had chocolate cake with English custard because I bought some from home! One of the nurses there said she loved it and was eating it straight from the bowl and asked me to bring some back again lol!!!


The highlight of my week has to be the la la land ciné concert me and my best friend went to. It's a thing where they put the film on and they have an orchestra do the music of the film!! It was really nice and fun we both loved it and both agreed that the music was so good that sometimes we forgot it was a live orchestra playing the music and not the music of the film itself!


We discovered that the venue was only a 25mn walk from our flats so we decided to go to our favourite bar on the way home which was fun as well !!


Then I got home on Friday, we ordered deliveroo and it was meant to take 20mn to come and in the end it took almost 2 hours, talk about "fast" food! But we did get some of our money back thankfully 


Finally tasted ciao kombucha and I have to say it's the best kombucha I've had (I don't drink that much but I would happily drink more of this as well as all the other flavours when I find them in store!)


We also did another too good to go run this week and we got loaaads of meat, some yoghurt, some fruit juice, vegan meat and yoghurts, breads etc for not even 20€ and we got enough meat to use this week and even more to fill up the freezer!!
