Happy List #31

Josh’s grandparents came to visit for the weekend so we did all the usual stuff that we do when people visit us for the first time. We looked around the cathedral ruins, went in the new cathedral and went around the transport museum. Actually we saw some bits of the new cathedral that we’ve never seen before plus we went in the little cafe and I had the nicest caramel shortbread ever!

Went to the nice Indian again that we went to last week with my Mum and Stepdad. It’s so lovely there

Managed to get Josh a christmas present that I’ve been trying to get for weeks

Josh’s grandparents took us to Kenilworth, it’s only around 10-15 minutes away from us but it’s so different to Coventry. We looked around the castle which was huge, I’d definately go back seen as we can get there on the bus

After Kenilworth we went to Packwood House in Solihull. It was a really lovely day and made a nice change to get out of Coventry. I did a post about both places here

Watched Psychoville halloween special. We decided against doing anything for halloween this year as all the costumes we looked at seemed so expensive. We did get dressed up last year which I loved even if I did have to spend the following week scrubbing red hairspray off the white bathroom walls and floor! Actually I think I’ll put a little photo on of last years outfits for you!

Josh cooked us a lovely chilli, it was so nice and warming

Eating black treacle parkin that Josh’s gran made us

Thought of a couple of nice things to get Josh for our anniversary. Our actual 4 year anniversary isn’t until 18th December however we’ve always done something a month early with the actual one been so close to christmas!

Cooking a really nice chicken korma

Eating some of the chocolate cake that Josh’s gran baked

Seeing that Starbucks red cups are back, that means christmas drinks which I love!

Cute little monkey on Bing!

Had my first Starbucks christmas drink of the year (gingerbread latte) and it was so nice. Unfortunately Josh forgot his phone so I couldn’t get a decent photo to document the moment!

Planned lots of blog posts so there’s plenty to come on little Bits and Bobs

To be honest there isn’t really anything for today except watching Derren Brown (amazing!) and eating chocolate cake! I wasted 3 hours trying to start an essay and only got around 600 words done, emailed councillors for quotes for my essay and got very brief answers and then no replies from them (rude!) and then to top it off I discovered that Josh and I have lost almost £100 from last years damage deposit which I’m quite pissed off about because they’ve charged us for things that we’ve already paid for and that aren’t even damaged. I swear to god if the rooms weren’t so nice here and that Josh and I didn’t get to have our own little place I’d be out of here like a shot because toddlers would have better management skills than the people here and they’d be a lot bloody nicer! Little rant over!
