I am currently on the train home from a lovely couple of days in Wales, it was surprisingly not that wet. I spent the time with my friend Karin and I have to say I continued my naughty streak… I had Ed’s Diner and Dominos- I know, but we all need a treat once in a while. I can’t say I picked healthy options either but I don’t regret it. I’m sure when I weigh myself in the morning I will regret my choices but not at the moment because I’m feeling happy.
I also went shopping in Cardiff and spent was a little excessive in Primark- don’t tell my parents. Personally though I think it was justified. Due to the fact that I have put on weight, none of my clothes in my wardrobe really fit me, shame I know but I am working on getting back into them. As a result I only have, well had cause I have a few more now, about six or seven outfits I was circulating, which I know makes me sound spoilt but I love clothes!! Shopping for them is my guilty pleasure and the fact that I don’t fit in my gorgeous clothes anymore makes me emotional (figuratively and occasionally physically).
Anyway walking around shopping centres takes a lot of effort, especially when it is hot- it wasn’t actually as hot in Wales as at home so I can’t really complain about that, because that made me soooo happy!!! I escaped the sauna that was the South East of England. I noticed a difference as I could move again and breathe! Anyway, Cardiff is a beautiful city. I don’t think I had been before but my sister is looking into going to the university there so I may go there more often, depends if I can afford to visit her- I need a job. From what I could tell it’s the perfect size, not gigantic like London but not too sleepy either. Also its cheap so there’s that as well.
As I write this I am kind of dreading going home, as means I’m going back to reality, however briefly as we are going on holiday tomorrow- can’t really complain but I’m sure I will find a way too. We are going to Poland for week- by we I mean my Mum, Dad and me. My sister hasn’t quite grasped the idea of a free holiday yet and my brother is working so its just the three of us. Trust me when I say this can only end badly- there will be at least one argument if not more and then my mother will sulk for a few days. At least I don’t have to spend my own money- bonus!! In all honesty I am looking forward to this holiday as it was my suggestion, for once my parents listened to me, I had a lecture on Poland and thought it would be nice to go. Don’t get me wrong this is an educational holiday as we are going to Krakow and Warsaw, both holding their own significance to the Second World War. But the alcohol will be cheap which suits me just fine. (I promise I’m not an alcoholic)
I have been taking a look at some Polish food, and it doesn’t look too horrendous. I mean I think I’ll avoid the mushroom soup, pickled cucumbers and sauerkraut- which seem to be a staple in everything but I will try some things. I’m not really fussy I just don’t like the smell of vinegar and I have never liked mushrooms. We’ll see what happens though as I may be forced to try them. Also as I am with my parents, my treats are over- probably for the best.
