September in photos

September is my birthday month which caused for lots of celebrations - 4 in fact!

Celebration #1 - Chiquito with Rory as we were missing Mexico so much!

Followed by cocktails in Font. We used to go here on a weekly basis. £1 cocktails FTW!

Celebration #2 - Cocktails and Cookie Cup Explosions with my blogging bestie, Rachael. 

Celebration #4 - TGI Friday's and cocktails with my friends.
(Celebration #3 was with my family but I don't have any pictures from this.)

More cocktails! At the Branded Lab Charity Fashion Event at Allotment Bar in Manchester.

Me and my gorgeous blogging bestie, Rachael enjoying our delicious bubblegum cocktails.

Finally! I've seen Frozen and I loved it! I even cried.

Attending the fabulous AX Paris Press Day at Black Dog Ballroom in Manchester.

After chatting to this gorgeous girl on twitter, I finally got the chance to meet Kayleigh.

I've decided to change my weekly Instagram posts to monthly ones as there were some weeks where I just wasn't that busy and it seemed pointless posting it. As I'm back at work now, Monday to Friday won't be that exciting unless there is a special occasion or blogger event. Recapping once a month, makes more sense and it will allow me to look back over the month with fond memories. 

Apologies for the blurriness, this is the first image we have of us together as Mr & Mrs and it was from a friends phone.

A quiet week on Instagram this week as I've been really busy with wedding related business! Our wedding invitations arrived so we had to write names and addresses on those and post them. I've also finally decided on the design for my wedding dress (hooray!) so that's currently being made! The wedding is just over 3 months away - it'll be here before we know it! #scary

As a result of working full time, running a house and planning a wedding, my blog has suffered which upsets me but everything has to be prioritised. I have so many ideas lined up and I've taken photos in bulk so it's just having the chance to edit those and write up the post. I'm still not in a blogging routine but time isn't on my side at the moment!

Movie night at my sisters. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire // Me and the gorgeous Hannah from Bride De Force at The National Wedding Show Manchester // Church in the morning sunshine // Lovely Spring day with beautiful daffodils 

I have some fantastic news (for me anyway, you won't care!) I have a new phone! Yay! This means I will be able to tweet and Instagram etc on the go! I have missed having a phone and it's so frustrating having a phone which dies 10 minutes after it saying 100%. I've been so busy lately. Working full time, looking after my gran and planning a wedding is taking its toll. I'm always so tired and although I love blogging, I just don't have the time or energy. I'm going away in a couple of weeks and I'm hoping that will refresh me but I'm not so sure. 7 girls in Tenerife for my hen do doesn't sound that relaxing! After that, I have another week off work which is when I'm hoping to catch up with blogging as I'm not doing any decorating!

The National Wedding Show in Manchester // In three weeks, I will be relaxing by this pool! // Beautiful bloggers at the Manchester meet up // Brand new obsession - Guess The Emoji!

My blog, instagram and twitter have been very quite this week as I've been really busy. I work full time Monday to Friday and I'm very tired when I come home, I often just fall asleep! My gran was in hospital so I was visiting her and now that she is out, I'm helping to care for her. Also, I'm busy planning my wedding which is just over 4 months away!!! It also doesn't help that the battery on my phone is broken, so when I am out, I can't instagram anyway! Hopefully, I will get a new phone soon!
