So this week and last have been very stressful. Having a new puppy is like having a baby (I imagine), except much more hairy. He gets us up at night, and it takes hours of playing with him to tire him out. Then when he falls asleep we can finally relax, yet he's so cute that when he's asleep we can't wait for him to wake up! He's at the teething stage at the moment, meaning he likes to chew on anything, and currently he has a taste for arms and legs. I cannot count the amount of marks I have on my arms from him scratching or nibbling me! The thing is he is just playing and unfortunately we just have to accept that he will be a bit nibbly for a while. However this period will soon stop and we'll be able to cuddle him without the fear of his needle sharp teeth.

This morning he was rather crazy, going hyper and trying to climb the stairs. We've started putting the radio on in the kitchen, tuned to Classic FM, which he seems to enjoy. Now I feel exhausted. I am very much in need of a night out. So later on this evening I am visiting my friend to check out her new flat and have some wine and watch some scary films. A proper girls night in, which is just what I need. It's strange being home for summer. Back at University I of course saw friends every day because I lived with them, so being back home is odd, because if my family are all working I only have myself and Marvel's company!

My holiday so far seems to have consisted of me becoming obsessed with MTV, specifically the show 'Catfish: The TV Show'. I'm hooked what can I say! It's got me thinking how crazy the world is, and how people aren't always what they say, and also that even people you know may have secrets or things about themselves that they hide. A random thought to add to this blog, but there hasn't been much structure to this post so I thought I'd mention it. I've been finding blogging extremely hard since being back- I had so many plans for this blog, and I am yet to have the chance to write them! Having a puppy has definitely made it harder to blog, what with him trying to chew through my cables! Nevertheless I'm powering through. I've got some really cool ideas for blog posts soon, so please bear with and let me know of any blogs or vlogs you'd like me to do!

I am currently sat here at my desk (or as I'd prefer to call it, 'my office') with my laptop and a cup of tea to the right of me, and the window to the left. I've had a lovely Easter break back down in Northampton with my family, but soon felt like I was ready to come back to Portsmouth. As you saw from my Vlog 'Shopping Haul: University Bits and Bobs' I had lots of things to use and unpack when I arrived here yesterday afternoon. My room now smells very fragrant and beautiful!

    Last night my flatmate and I had the choice of going out or staying in ( a choice that is always a tricky one!) but after debate we decided to stay in and watch Made In Chelsea whilst having a bit of el vino! It was a lovely night and before we knew it we were playing cards ( a game called 'poo head' that another flatmate taught us in freshers week) and that game where you stick a post-it note on each others' heads and you have to guess the name on it- I can't even remember the name of the game so I probably wasn't much use at playing it! It was a lovely evening to come back to and I already felt settled back in.

   This morning I must admit I had a bit of a lie in- but only until 11 because my sleep hadn't been the best and it wasn't getting any better. So I decided to pop in the shower and throw on a baggy top, leggings and some lovely little Greek looking sandals. I had a very healthy breakie of weetabix biscuits and activia yogurt. Yum! A great way to start the day (goodness that sounds cheesy)! It was lovely and sunny out but the big ol' ball of fire seems to have gone away for a bit, which is annoying considering I'm about to go out shopping- much preparation for my Primark Haul Vlog on Saturday!

    Considering it's the first few days back, it's extremely quiet. Perhaps everyone is SO settled in they can't leave their beds? Either that or everyone is at a party that I wasn't invited to (slightly concerned now!) Just kidding! It's still a bit chilly here although yesterday afternoon was blissful.


So I've just gotten back from shopping- got a bit cold! Bought a few things from Pri of the Mark (Primark) that I'm in love with! Then came back and had a cuppa of course and a very healthy post-shopping lunch! ( how long will the healthy eating last I wonder?) Feeling very tired now so may take a nap or spend some time on Youtube now!

I thought today, because it has been a kind of settling back in sort of day, that I'd just simply write about it. Sometimes its nice to just read something simple, and I don't want to bore people or hurt their brains by writing really serious stuff. So I hope you've enjoyed this little snippet of my life!

I will be trying to post at least 3 times a week from now on, with a vlog on each Saturday! Please stay tuned and subscribe and follow me on all accounts!! Thanks for the support!
