Catch Up: Sickness, Movies and Burgers.

Hi guys, now I owe you a huge, mahoosive, ginormous apology. I have been a bit M.I.A for the past month. After having a brilliant Valentines day, I managed to get myself a stonking cold. Not a sniffle, but the one where you feel like it is the flu, that your life is ending as you have known it, that you feel like you need a nose transplant. You get the picture.

After I had recovered, the husband managed to get some a few days on leave from his pre deployment training so we made the most of it. Well if making the most of it involves me finishing work at 11am, getting into my baggy sobbing out gear and us watching 24 and drinking endless cups of tea, then that's what we did. Chris will be away for probably around six months, so when he gets time to come home he has my undivided attention.

We did manage to leave the house on my day off to drive to the cinema. Living in a tiny town means you have to travel to get to any decent shops or amenities, the cinema being one of them. We normally opt for the Odeon in Norwich, as there are plenty of restaurants for us to grab a bite to eat. I really wanted to embrace my inner child and go watch The Lego Movie 3D. Lego was one of my favourite things to play with when I was younger and I wouldn't even mind playing with some now! Well the film was brilliant, a great storyline with plenty of laughs for both children and grown ups. We are both Will Ferrell fans so if you are too then you probably will enjoy it as much as we did. My favourite characters had to be the 80's spaceman as we had that character when we were young, and of course Unikitty.

I found this key light on the John Lewis website, which technically I don't really need, but it's so adorable that I NEED it. Fingers crossed I'll get it for my birthday. We actually headed to TGI Fridays prior to the film for a bite to eat. We both got burgers. It had to be done. Mine was the Swiss Dip which was covered with caramelised onions and Swiss cheese. I upgraded my fries to sweet potato ones as I am literally obsessed. It also came with a teeny, tiny jug of gravy for dipping. I was all over this, but I suppose it wouldn't be to everyone's taste.

Sorry about the cheesy photo (geddit!) I was sending it to my friend and I can't send a serious photo to her. Also, the awful camera angle I can blame on Chris! So all in all, our day out was brilliant.

Apart from working I have nothing else to really catch you up on. I had a few blog posts lined up for that period, but I feel the moment has passed. Never mind, onwards and upwards, as the saying goes. 

I'm thinking of doing a few "Tags" for you all to get to know a little more about me. I also need to do a haul post, which I may split up into a few parts. 

What have you been doing recently? Are there any films you think I should go see?
