013. Eat at 10 new restaurants (6/10)

Baby Buddha
James and I had booked off a couple of days from work, firstly we were going to go to London, but we've put off that trip until the end of March instead. So, we just had a long, lazy weekend at home. James had been a bit ill, so it was nice to just be at home.

We did treat ourselves to a carvery on Thursday night and a Chinese at the Baby Buddha on Friday night. We'd wanted to go to this Chinese restaurant for a while, but it's always so busy that you must phone up and book. 

I'm glad we finally went, it's a cute little restaurant and the food was amazing!

039. Get my eyes tested again

I finally got around to booking James and I in for our eye tests. The last time I was tested was 2008!

Turns out that my prescription isn't really that different, but if I did want to buy new frames then it'd be best to get the new prescription put in them. I have two pairs of glasses at the moment and would like new frames, but looking in the shop all the frames seem to look so similar! There was nothing special that jumped out at me. Now I know I don't need to change the lenses I can get new frames and such whenever I want to - phew, I was hoping it wasn't going to cost me much!

075. Spend a weekend in Hull



Hull City Hall Wrapped up warm Minus 10? ...in Moderation Minus 11? This has to stop!

Above are a few pictures snapped on my phone from the weekend we spent in Hull at the beginning of February. James had bought my tickets to see Sarah Millican for my birthday and the date had finally come around.

We were booked to stay at The Village Hotel in Hessle, which is just outside Hull. It was the coldest weekend of the whole year, the temperature getting down to minus 11 (but we only managed to capture minus 10 on the car dashboard). 

We walked around my old Uni city and browsed the shops - I needed something to wear for my nephew's Christening which was on the following weekend. We also took a trip to the cinema to watch The Muppets and I also met up with a Uni friend, Katy, who still lived in the city.

It was great to go back, I do miss it. We didn't have time to go to the Uni campus, but there's always another time.

023. Watch 20 movies in the cinema (6/20)

We spent a long weekend away from Norwich, in Hull - my old University city. As a little treat while we were away, and an early Valentine's date, we went to the cinema to watch 'The Muppets'. 

James is a really big Muppets fan, I wasn't into them so much be really, really enjoyed the movie! I still have the song 'Man or Muppet' going around in my head. Such a happy film, I would definitely watch it again.

036. Buy a dressing table and finish the guest room

Before Christmas the 2nd bedroom was a mess! It was a dumping ground for, just, stuff! Everywhere! Look at these pre-Christmas mess photos:



Pre-Christmas Mess Pre-Christmas Mess

It's took a little while and a threatening visit from my parents to get us finally finished off in here. Look at how wondrous it looks now!

Spare Room and Dressing Table

Completely full of IKEA, but I love it! I wonder how long it will stay this neat?
