My Favourite Things

Hi all, 

Wow, I really suck at this right now. I have really struggled to find any motivation to write my posts but have decided that I want to start this again so will push my self to begin. So I have decided to continue my favourite things series to help me get back into it. I do hope you enjoyed this one, if you came back to me to read this of course. to any new comers, welcome! Glad you dropped by, stay a while and take a load off :).

This series will be posted on a Sunday. I know it is now Friday but I meant to do it sunday but life happened and I didn't want to miss the fun filled week I had off work. 

So to set up my upcoming week, my dad has come to visit us from up north so me and my sister took a week off work to do things and basically catch up.

So Monday.....I had one of the worst, shocking moments of my life. I woke up free and happy ready for my week off. However when I trudged downstairs, I was not ready for what awaited me. Our beautiful Bella was laying on the front room floor, absolutely still. My brain couldn't even process what was there and immediately shouted for my sister but it still didn't sink in until I phoned my dad to tell him. I burst into tears, as did my sister. I think the shock and how out of nowhere it was that got us so shook up. She wasn't ill, and she was so young, only 1 year and 4 months I believe.  She showed no signs of anything wrong, so to see her just laying there stiff was like a horrible nightmare. She looked so innocent and even now thinking of it is just wrong, that she could be here the night before and then suddenly she was gone.

I won't bore with the whole process but we were going to get an autopsy done but they said we wouldn't be able to bury her in our garden so we decided against it. Although a vet did have a look at her and said nothing was wrong with the organs so seemed like it was a seizure that caused it. I still can't believe it really. The house feels so empty now, especially after starting work again and not seeing her when I get home. The other morning, I swore I heard a meow when I was getting ready.

So sorry for that, could have made a whole post about that day. 

Time to Brighton this up....on Tuesday we had a coach day trip to Brighton booked and the weather was magnificent. It was the perfect day to go to the seaside. We also rode the oldest electric railway in the world still operating, the Volks Electric Railway which opened in 1883.

Also this week The Great British Bake Off is back!! I love this show

We also took a visit to Cambridge and dined at Nines Global Buffet, visit the website here. It was amazing, all the food was amazing and had a really nice atmosphere :).

OMG! Pringles have brought back the Pringles snack pot! I was so excited when I found out Asda had these. Talk about a blast from the past. 

Lastly, I purchased this gem from eBay and it came this week. The black ranger! He was my favourite ranger when I was younger, even had a doll of him xD. So got the Pop! figure to add to my collection.

So that wraps up My Favourite Things for this time. The next post will be up on Sunday and then will continue from there to be on Sundays :) I do hope you enjoyed my come back post and you continue to come back.
