Ten Spring Snapshots

Welcome back to All Things Rosy if you're still with me! For this post I wanted to do my regular 'My Week In Pictures' but let's just say I've had a very eventful Easter 'holiday', so I thought I'd do a little snapshots post, with the stories to go along with them since it has been a while, and for that I can only apologise.

But let's crack on with the show, chronologically of course!

1. Last Tuesday (07/04) I was due to catch the 9:35am train from Newcastle. But me being me, I stood waiting at the wrong end of the platform and hence missed my train. So, I went to Costa, had a cuppa and composed myself while I waited for the next one.

2. (07/04) That same day, after finally arriving in Derby, I went for the dreaded "trim"; which is never really a trim is it? I'm always left feeling like I have a bob - just when I'd accepted I had long hair!

3. 08/04 On the 9th I had a girly sister day with Clairey. We went into town and had a bit of a wander - I picked up these two short stories in Waterstones for only 80p each (!) which is fab because they're both favourites. We then met our Mum for lunch in Revolution and I had a yummy blackened chicken burger and Claire impressively demolished one of their pizzas!

4. 09/04 Last Thursday, my best friend Nicole and I, caught the train up to Meadowhall for a day of shopping. I tried on the most beautiful twenties dress in Miss Selfridge (wasn't it beautiful?!) but we sadly had to part ways after consulting my bank account. 

5. 10/04 Last Friday we took a trip up to Burton and stopped by a lovely antique shop called The Lobby Emporium. I love roaming about shops like this as you never know what you'll find, it's so quirky and interesting.

Girls Night Out!

6. 11/04 On the Saturday night, all my friends came over to celebrate my birthday which was to be the following day. It was so nice to see them all, especially Caroline, Katie and Harriet as I hadn't seen them since September when we all parted ways. We had a fabulous night in town and I definitely paid the price for my dancing the next day - my feet were so sore!

Pressies!

7. 12/04 My 19th Birthday! Here are a few pressies I received from my friends. How cute is the little rabbit jewellery holder? - Thanks Em!

Tres Chic Clutch & French Style Books I got for my birthday.

8. 13/04 On the 13th Mum and I drove up to Manchester and went shopping at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet. I picked up this gorgeous 'TRÉS CHIC' clutch bag that I've been trying to get my hands on for weeks! It was a great day, but unfortunately I didn't feel too well so we had to head to the docs after.

I had a cannula in for 10 hours!

9.  15/04 After the doctors on Monday, I was sent for blood tests on Tuesday - and it turned out I was rather ill. Consequently I spent all of Wednesday in hospital with severe anaemia. I had two blood transfusions and this horrible thing called a cannula in my hand. It was a very long day, but on Thursday I was given the all clear after a scan, so now I'm on the mend and doing much better!

Waiting for the bus. Watch - Coccinelle/ Purse - Fossil.

10. 17/04 After taking Thursday out to catch up on my sleep, (and 'Once Upon a Time') I was feeling much better by Friday. I went into town to meet my close friend Frances. We had a fab day together. We had lunch at Little Frankie's, and then went to the cinema to see 'Woman In Gold' - which I highly recommend, it was fabulous! 

All in all, I've had a busy yet very eventful holiday. I won't be returning to Sunderland for uni this week, as my doctors want to make sure I'm well before they let me go. But honestly, I feel much better and I'm hoping to stay that way!

Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday!

Love Rosie
