MY WEEK

Overall I've had an amazing, yet expensive, week. I've had something to do almost everyday which I love as I hate being stuck in the house feeling lazy, particularly in summer when the weather is good (if the British weather is being nice to us that is). This week was my boyfriend's birthday and he was turning the grand old age of 22 on Friday. He of course took full advantage of the fact that it was his birthday using the excuse of 'birthday week' to get away with anything he could. 

We began the week with my favourite food of Dominos whilst catching up on UFC. I felt extremely guilty afterwards as I'm supposed to be eating clean but Dominos is my ultimate weakness which everyone who knows me knows. I haven't even been to the gym since Tuesday which I can't believe but I will be starting to attend again tomorrow. Me and my boyfriend love Dominos that much that we didn't even mention the word once. He just said he was hungry, gave me a cheeky smile and then I knew instantly what he wanted so it was all his idea! I had no say in the matter (although I could have just not ordered one oops). This was the first excuse he used his 'birthday week' for.

I went shopping to buy my boyfriend's presents and of course had to treat myself to an outfit whilst I was out, buying a nude coloured dress and a white blazer as I felt as though I needed some summery colours to wear for a night out.

Midweek hit and me and my boyfriend were feeling lazy once again when it came to cooking food. We decided to go to a Sizzling Pub where we munched on a yummy burger and a sundae. I again felt guilty but I had already ruined my week with Dominos so I thought why not! Basically, this week has been treat week for me.

We decided to go out on Thursday night for my boyfriend's birthday as he was working on the Saturday so it was the more sensible option (even though we ended up going out on Friday night too). I was so ready for a night out. I hadn't been out in Newcastle for around 2 months but I did have a night out with my sister in Manchester a few weeks ago. We drank cocktails to begin with in Jalou which you have to go to if you're ever in Newcastle. The cocktails are just so tasty and the atmosphere of the bar just makes you want to have fun. We then went to a venue called Bonbar and drank Zombies for the rest of the night. Newcastle was so dead though because of course most of the students will have gone home, I don't think I have seen Newcastle more dead.

Friday arrived which meant my boyfriend's birthday was finally here. He loved all the presents I bought him which I was so glad about. A birthday isn't a proper birthday without a birthday cake. I ordered a cake from Desserts Delivered which you simply have to try if you're ever in Newcastle. It is a company that delivers whole cakes, American candy, slices of cake, muffins, slices of cheesecake and even ice cream plus many more delectable treats straight to your door! I ordered him the toffee cake which essentially takes like sticky toffee pudding but cold and in cake form, it is very moreish. In the afternoon, we went to the MetroCentre to see if we could find my boyfriend some new clothes but it is unbelievably hard to find clothes that fit him with him standing 6'6 tall! Unfortunately we failed this time but we did succeed in choosing Chiquitos for his birthday meal. 

I had loaded potato skins to start with Matt choosing chicken wings. I then had a Santa Fe wrap for my main with Matt having chicken fajitas. We didn't even consider dessert as we were far too full. It was a very yummy and satisfying meal as I knew this would be the last unhealthy thing I would be eating for a while (if I can stick to eating clean that is). If you're a student with a Unidays account, you can get 25% of your food bill at Chiquitos at the moment just by simply showing your Unidays profile so if you're stuck for places to eat, go to Chiquitos and save yourself a few pennies!

We then got ready to go out for drinks and met up with Matt's best friend and his girlfriend. It was such a good night as we all get on so well. We just stayed in trebles bars as they are a good atmosphere on a Friday night drinking trebles, Zombies, shots and Skittle bombs.

Me and Matt have finally started watching Breaking Bad. I have already watched it but I've been wanting to watch it again for so long and with Matt not having seen it, I thought it was the perfect opportunity and he finally agreed. He's loving it so far but not as much as I do.

Although I have loved this week, I have spent far too much money so I think I'll be calming it down for a couple of weeks now. I also need to start eating healthily again and working hard at the gym starting tomorrow. Looks like a week watching Breaking Bad and job searching whilst munching on fruit instead of Dominos this week.

How has your week been? Have you had a busy week or a quiet week? Do you prefer being busy all the time?
