Turkey, Marmaris

Hello my beauties!! 

This is totally over-due but I couldn't not tell you all about my recent holiday. 

Since Tenerife last year (which was my first ever holiday abroad) I made a promise to myself that every year I'd travel somewhere abroad. I honestly did not realise what I was missing, although the flying part isn't all its cracked up to be, I'm terrified of airports, taking off and landing and I suffer so badly with my ears popping, the general flight isn't an issue. 

So, back in October myself and Ashley (who also went to Tenerife with me) traveled last minute to Marmaris in Turkey where we endured the most amazing 5 star hotel, all inclusive holiday. 

We stayed at The Grand Pasa Hotel, which was okay, and I say okay lightly! The staff were so rude and we had a few issues with them, for a 5 star complex the attitude of the staff and the enthusiasm was awful. There wasn't really any entertainment and the food was exactly the same each day, and to top it off by the second day the maids were not even cleaning our rooms properly!! ... but despite this we met some amazing people from our hotel and potential friends for life!! The hotel itself looked beautiful, and to the eye was stunning. The comfort was acceptable and the cleanliness of the actual hotel was lovely. Personally I think they just disliked us (haha) 

If you've never been to Turkey before I highly recommend Bar Street for night life, we went there twice whilst we were there - both times ruined us!! We had such a laugh, drinks are rather expensive for what they are, and you're constantly nagged at to go into bars with hardly any drinks promotions, but we went with some wicked people and all had a laugh!! It's literally non-stop partying!! There were also random bars around our hotel, two which we visited daily. 

Whilst there we also went on a Boat Trip, which was so much fun. We stopped off several times and swam in the sea, which was an amazing experience. You feel so free, just in the middle of such a huge space!! It's something I'd defiantly recommend.  

We experience the famous Turkish Bath, alongside every other beauty treatment we could get our hands on, we actually got such a good deal!! 

Update: because, it's been some time!

Hello my beautiful people!! 

Firstly, sorry for being away for so long and sorry again for this lame excuse of a post which will only be a quick one! I've been so busy lately with work, and just recently we've had a new manager start, and been given every other weekend off instead of once a month which if you work in the care/health care sector you'd understand (its a dream!!) although at the same time means working a 7 or 9 day week to gain the weekend off but never the less I love it!! So I've actually had a bit of life - wowza!! 

So, I wanted to pop by and say I have a few projects in the pipeline for this month, several reviews and posts that I've joint up with a variety of companies as well as a few planned posts for you all to enjoy (or at least I hope!!) 

I'm just going to leave a tone of photographs below, and a small description as to what I've been up too over the past 6 weeks. 

I met up with my best friend and god-daughter and had a lunch date. Kay-Betsy has grown so much, she's walking now! You literally blink and they are their own little independent person!! 

I brought a pool because the weather has been amazing, and threw a pool party / BBQ which was amazing, although ended up with just 3 of us in the pool at 11pm drinking straight from the bottle of wine (11 bottles to be honest) lets just say I didn't wake the next day feel too fresh!! 

I finally received my certificated for my Level 3 in Health and Social Care, hard work really does pay off! I struggled so bad with working full time, and day to day life troubles but I completed the entire course in less than 5 months! Round of applause for me - please? 

So of course, with news like that I had to celebrate? This was when our every other weekend started so it was a double celebration, as well as the fact I had to work 5 weekends to get things swinging so myself and a few work mates headed to town, for a few drinkie-poos. 

A sad day for me, but my rock and spirit riser at work left for her maternity leave, she's also moved to Essex due to her partner's job, facing facts I won't see her every day, sucks!! We literally we're joint at the hip, but I arranged a whip round at work and brought her some lovely gifts and cards which she was totally chuffed with. Then on Saturday I had a few people from work round for some nibbles and drinks, which turned into a messy night because (minus her) headed to Maidstone with some work friends and we had a great time but I've been ill recently and on Saturday it come back to bite me on the ass, big time! 

I'm sorry they're not great because they we're alcohol influence and iphone/middle of club type of thing! 

I have finally got antibiotics for a bacterial infection and flu I'm suffering from, but still at work battling through!! no rest for the wicked. 

I guess they say to leave the best until last, which is what I've done .... I have booked a holiday!!! It was totally last minute and unplanned and to be fair has left us both in the pits money wise but myself and Ashley (who I went to Tenerife with last year) if you've followed my blog for that long you'll know who I am on about, booked a holiday to Turkey for October and I am super excited!! 

I hope you're all enjoying August and have a beautiful week.

Spent the day with my Best Friend Amy, her son Sidney and Baby Bump! I met them at their house for a quick catch up before we walked Sidney to school, attended he's Parents Evening Meeting, we then went to the Cafe for lunch, ended up at the Travel Agents booking Magaluf 2015, picked Sidney back up and then went back to Amy's for a chilled evening. 

I have had a super day!!

The countdown continues and I can not wait! This time Thursday I will be en route to Tenerife to celebrate my 20th Birthday in style! 

Wednesday 30th April 

I've spent the day at work. Its my last shift at my current job and I will be moving places of work when I get back from my Holiday. It was an emotional day to say the least. 

Thursday 1st May 

Today is the big day!! I'm currently on a flight to Tenerife and I will not be posting whilst away but I have a pre-written post Scheduled to post during the time I am away so keep a look out for that!

My Week In Pictures April 21st - 27th

Monday 21st April 

The countdown continues! I had a day off today and tried to get my things together. I took tags off of all my new items of clothing and tried to pack! 

Tuesday 22nd April 

I worked a 8 hour shift today and it involved lots of Chocolate!! 

Lots of Galaxy Chocolate. 

Wednesday 23rd April 

I've received a lot of weird messages this week, but this one here from Larry was by far the most interesting. Its safe to say that I blocked him straight after reading this. 

I don't understand how these people find me!? 

Thursday 24th April 

It's official guys! One week exactly today! 

This holiday is over due and I can not wait to be sat up on that beach with a cocktail in one hand as my troubles float away. This also means I won't be posting much but I will pre-post something for you whilst I'm away.  I'm hoping to blog whilst I'm away too! 

Friday 25th April

It's my Best Friend Amy's Birthday today! She's not been in my life for a long time but since the first day I met her she's been there for me. Supported me, never judged me and given me the biggest choice of my life. As some of you know she's asked me to be her Birthing Partner to her little bundle of joy - who's due in June and I can not wait! I hope she has a lovely day because she deserves it. 

Saturday 26th April 

Spent the evening with this girl. We laughed a little too much and had a proper catch up session. Sarah is great  - I'm going to miss her when I leave work. 

Sunday 27th April 

I'm packed!! I can't promise I won't unpack and pack again, but I'm packed and ready! I think I've over packed to be honest with you, and I most probably will unpack and re-pack a few times before I leave but this has lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. 

Bring on Tenerife!!
