Weekly Update!

Full-Time Work With A Dash Of Socialising!

This was the first week doing my nannying job full time and I love it! Not only am I looking after the cutest boy, but during the day whilst he is at school, aside from a bit of shopping and washing, I am free to do whatever I like!

Rather than be really naughty and spend the time shopping and coffee shop hopping (although I have done that a bit...) I have joined the gym, and so last week I did a yoga class, went swimming and ran three times - go me!

Aside from that and actually working, I haven't done much in the way of socialising, mainly as I'm still adjusting to long days with early mornings and getting into a routine. However, I went to Chris' for tea on Wednesday, and took some time over the weekend to enjoy myself which was nice.

On Friday I had my nails done, and then in the evening I went for a few drinks at the Moss Trooper with an old friend. I'd not seen him properly for two years (except a brief encounter at Benicassim which I can barely remember due to intoxication!) so it was good to catch up.

On Saturday after work, Chris came over and we met up with some university friends in Manchester. We started in Sam's Chophouse, which I'd never been in before, but it is apparently one of the oldest pubs in Manchester. It had loads of beers on tap and a mammoth wine list, yet wasn't too expensive and had a great atmosphere - so I'd like to go back sometime as it was a bit of a rushed visit!

Next we headed onto the Northern Quarter starting in TV21 and then Trof. Both were really busy, but in a vibrant way, and I had a lovely cocktail courtesy of Chris in the latter that tasted like Parma Violets - yum!

On Sunday after a nice lie-in and cooked breakfast, Chris left and Mum, Dad and I went to a family party in Derby (see previous post). Life is good!
