What I miss about being in a relationship, family time & a night out with the girls // Weekend Highlights

Hello my huns and welcome back to my blog. Heyyy hunnies! I don’t know why I’m feeling the need to say two hello’s at the moment, but here I am. Greeting you twice. It is what it is. Today it’s weekend highlights time, and I know I’ve said a million times how I’m going to do these every weekend (and now weekly highlights too), I really mean it this time. So weekend highlights are from Friday – Monday, and weekly highlights will be for recapping Tuesday – Thursday. YAY. I do love a reflection, and a chat.

Speaking of, I’m feeling a little chatty today. So even though this is a weekend highlights post, lemme ramble for a bit please. I miss being in a relationship. Okay, so I know myself and August Boy were technically never actually ‘boyfriend and girlfriend’, but we were as good as. And I miss that feeling. You know, chilling in bed watching funny Youtube videos / vine compilations etc. That cosiness. I’ve been watching a lot of giggly Youtube videos in bed recently, and I miss having someone to share those cosy and cute moments with. I want that now, and having been single since February I really am ready to get back into the dating scene, but I want it to be with the right person. I don’t want to rush anything, and I don’t want to be with someone for the sake of being with someone but at the same time, I AM READY. Soulmate come through please. It is cuffing season after all. I’m so ready for a relationship. But at the same time, I also want to focus on working on myself and becoming the best version of me. I want to truly fall in love with myself first, so can I just love me the most already please so I’m properly ready for a fella? I know I can work on myself whilst being in a relationship (obviously), but I feel like in order to feel confident in allowing someone to love me, I gotta love me. And that’s what I’m currently focusing on, self love and becoming my best self. I got this. And I know my Soulmate will roll up in divine timing (but can it be soon please?) hehe.

Anyway, ramble overrrrrrr… though not really because I am still craving a relationship (LOL) and it’s currently playing on my mind, I can only go on about it for so long so I may as well get back to my weekend highlights… UH, why am I so keen for a fella at the moment? I guess I’ve really just been single tooooo long… LOL.

But seriously, weekend highlights now, okay, let’s rewind to Friday.

On Friday, I went to visit my Grandparents with my mama and papa. I adore my Grandparents and I love every visit, every second I spend with them. I wish I could see them more, it’s a goal for me, and I’m thankful to already have plans to see them again next month. On the one hand, it would be great if we all lived closer because then I could see my Grandparents more but on the other hand, at least it makes visits to them extra special when we do go. So, there’s positives to both sides! I really need to pass my driving test because then I can go and visit them far more often, on my days off. Rather than only being able to go down with my parents / someone who can drive. I believe you can get a train, but obvs it would be more money savvy if I could just drive. But then again, I am a billionaire, so what does cost matter really? 😉 (You know I love an affirmation).

I had a lovely day with my Grandparents and as usual, we got pizza for lunch. We ordered Pizza Hut and I had my go to order of a cheese and tomato pizza, yum yum yum. Afterwards, we enjoyed some cakes from my fave Mrs Mac’s Sweet Treats. You know I simply adore their brownies, and I think my Grandparents enjoyed their Jammie Dodger cupcakes too, they seemed to polish them off pretty quickly!

After spending the day at my Gran and Grandad’s, I came back home and went out with the girls. This was a spontaneous night out for me, as even though the girls had been planning it for just a few days, I only decided on Thursday night that I was going to go. We went to my friends house first for pre drinks and I had my first alcoholic beverage in months, though I’m definitely not making that a habit. Though I didn’t get drunk, and I enjoyed my night, I just think alcohol is so unnecessary and such a waste of money. Sometimes it’s good to loosen up and relax, I’ve been feeling quite tense recently and there have been moments where I’ve thought a drink would do me so good, but I don’t want to turn to alcohol you know? And in the moments when I’m already having a good time (like Friday night for example), I wonder, did the alcohol actually do anything to enhance my night? Like I said, I didn’t get drunk sooo… I don’t know. All I know is, I felt like I’d wasted my money afterwards by spending it on alcohol, and that is not the one huns. I have another night out coming up, so let’s see how I get on with this one. I have some wine left at my friends house, so maybe I’ll have pre drinks, but not spend any money whilst out at the club on alcohol. That sounds like a plan to me!!! Then on my Christmas night out, I’mma go without the booze again and see how I get on. You know I really do love the sober life.

Anyway, I had a fun night with my friends, the pre drinks were a laugh, I was almost in tears at one point and the club was okay. It wasn’t fab because the music was a bit pants, but it’s like that sometimes isn’t it? That’s why I like a house party, because it’s a bit more chilled out and you can do what you wanna do. I mean, I know you can do that at the club, but there seems to be a little more going on at a house party sometimes (not necessarily a pool table though, hehe). But anyway, it was good to see my girlies, and I’m looking forward to our next adventure!

On Saturday, it was back to work for me after a week off. It was a good enough day, then afterwards it was straight back home to watch the TV and eat my leftover Pizza Hut from Friday. Yum!!!

Sunday was another working day, then afterwards I went to the pub with my Dad to watch the football. I am soo upset because Liverpool won and I really need them to not win please, because Manchester City have gottt to get that number one title in the Premier League. We need Liverpool to just, not win. (I don’t wanna say the word lose, LOL). But again, it is what it is, and hopefully the next few games, the sun will shine and everything will work in Manchester City’s favour. Yasssssss. Side note: I’ve decided on my next tattoo. A little number ‘7’ on my ankle in honour of Raheem Sterling (his shirt number is 7). Yasss. I just have to book it in! Stay tuned for pictures.

Today (Monday), I’ve had the day off, and I’ve spent it with my sister (yaaaay). We went out for a Chinese lunch which was very filling, so all I’ve had for dinner today is toast because I’m still pretty stuffed. I also tried on a bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding today, and we had some cute sisterly time at her house which was laaaaaaaavely. I love sister time, and I’m already looking forward to more.

Right now, I’m just chilling! After writing this, I’m going to chill out with some TV, do my night routine, do my New Moon ritual, have a bath, meditate then sleep. It’s a yes from me.

I have another New York post coming soon, so stay tuned for that and until next time,
I hope you have the best week ever this week (so far, I hope every week gets better and better, hehe),

be sure to let me know what you’ve been up to over the weekend,

I’mma leave you with this little quote, because I myself am trying to become kinder sooo, for the week ahead remember toooooo “throw kindness around like confetti”, and love yourself huns!!

Jennie

Ooh ps, my dress for next weekend arrived on Saturday. I’m obsessed, it’s from isawitfirst.com which my gorgeous bestie Daisy introduced me to (so shoutout to Dais), and it’s just so perfect for this time of year. ‘I’m a pumpkin… duh!’
