So this week again I'm posting this on the Monday. Last night after I got home I was so tired I just wanted to curl up in my bed and read some blog posts and watch tv. 

Once again this post is a little late. When I got home last night I kind of forgot and had some other stuff to do/sort out before going to bed. Throughout this past week though, I have felt that I have just spent my days on the train. Everyday this week I have taken at least once. 

The majority of the week was pretty laid back with spending Monday/Tuesday/Friday with Darren and going to Dundee on Thursday with mum. The rest of the week has really been spent working away. 

On terms of working, don't you really just hate some customers you get? There is certainly a lot of people out there who seem to lose their manners when in shops. It absolutely gets on my nerves when customers do thing likes try get in front of a customers who has just finished paying/packing their shopping, completely blank you and act total snarky with you- you may actually have a bag, don't act like I'm being a crazy person!

How has your week been?

This week has probably been the busiest week of my summer holidays so far. I've had such a packed week with meeting up with an old school friend, spending time with Darren's family, going to the cinema, working, having a date night with Darren and going to a car boot sale.

I'm really annoyed at myself for not having a photo to share this week from one I have taken this week but have one from my trip to Edinburgh. My weeks been a bit packed even though I haven't done much, I've just not been in the house a lot! 

 This has honestly been one amazing and utterly brilliant weeks- probably my favourite week out of the year so far! It's had so many highlights that I wish I could go back to this time last week!

This week has been very laid back. The main thing that I did this week was my little walk to the beach on Monday that I shared here. I honestly had such a nice day with Sarah and it was so relaxing just to be back beside the sea and not doing very much at all!

This week has been really quite boring to be honest! It's also felt like the beginning of the week was a world away! 

So last week I had originally said that I would be updating this blog more after Tuesday, evidently that never happened! I hadn't realised how busy I would still be while the show was on trying to keep things stocked up. Also, ignore the fact that this post has been once again shared on a Monday instead! 

It's been another hectic week, which is why I haven't updated this blog since Monday! But during this past week with all that's been going on- final week before the show, work and my birthday it's been a nice little break during all the craziness! I have a lot of blog posts planned from this week and for the next few weeks so I think I'll probably update every other day after Tuesday! 

What have you been up to this week?

So this week I'm not sharing my usual amount of photos just due to the fact that I'll be really sharing the most of my photos later in the week with my London Photo Diary. 

This past week kicked off with the trip to London! The travel actually went passed pretty quickly due to the amount of stuff Clare and I had to do with us on the train. When we got to London I finally got to use my Oyster card and was officially a tube noob- hehe it rhymes. The tube was pretty scary at first with being thrown about at take off but eventually got used to it and reminded me of my train commutes to college in the morning! Monday was our first day out in London where we visited the Design Museum, NoBrow Press and Brick Lane. Tuesday was filled with a lot more commotion with the tube strike- however, apart from packed tubes and getting a bus later in the day it was fine. We were able to get to YCN and the Pick Me Up Festival (finished tomorrow) and Covert Garden later on. Wednesday we came home- without first going to Covert Garden again. The travel home was worse than going down due to the fact that I was feeling ill and crappy. The rest of the week has been relaxing compared. Thursday I basically laid in bed all day and caught up on blogs as I was still feeling ill. Friday I seen Darren and caught up on Avon. Yesterday Darren and I decided to do some baking, watched Frozen- again, and had Chinese for tea!

On the OhHay! this week...

That's it for this week, check back for this week for some exciting posts to do with my trip to London! Let me know what you've been up to this past week below. 

Sunday just passed it was obviously Easter and after getting on at my mum she went and bought me a Cream Egg Easter Egg! We also went to see The Book Thief at our local cinema thing. On Monday Darren bought me heaps of flying saucer sweets and then was given these balloon flowers. Tuesday meant I finished my Graded Unit- yaaay! Since I didn't need to go in on Wednesday I spent the day writing blog posts and catching up on blogs I hadn't read yet. Thursday Darren bought me an Olaf teddy <3! I found out my Graded Unit results on Friday and got an A!! Yesterday after work I sorted all my stuff for going away today- a real life version of tetris I'd say!

This week on OhHay!

Again since I'm away this week I may not be very active for the beginning of this week. To keep up with what I'm getting up to while I'm away follow me on Instagram and Twitter @LaurenGemmaHay. 

Overall this past week has been incredibly awesome and I have taken sooo many photos and put so many on instagram so I will try and limit the ones I'm showing just now! I'll also limit what I'm saying as I will have a full write up about it next week! 

Last Sunday night I went to my mums bingo with her and Darren. I ended up winning £1.50- yay! Monday we were travelling quite a bit but stopped at the Gretna Shopping Village where I bought a few things (haul post will also be uploaded, but that will be next week). After having tea, Darren and I took a walk where I took photos on my camera and went to the little farm shop beside the hotel. Tuesday was a looong day of travel as there had been quite a few accidents while travelling down the M6! I also wasn't feeling to great and was being bothered with a sore throat. Wednesday meant Harry Potter Day(!!) and it was such a great day and the whole thing was brilliant! I bought a fair few things and a butter beer and it was amazing! Thursday we travelled all the way home but it wasn't too bad as the traffic was quite smooth. On Friday, Darren and I went home to Darren's so that we could see his family. For most of the day we spent it with Darren's younger siblings- we watching Frozen in 3D, played outside and played a game of Monopoly. Yesterday was spent with Darren's family a lot as well. We watched Frozen again because his mum hadn't seen it in 3D as well and also played Mario Kart. 

On OhHay! this week...

So I'm going to start sharing instagram picks from Sunady to Saturday as it means this post may be up earlier during the day. Last weekend I rediscovered my love for Nesquik Snacks and Darren reminded me about having them in my bag on Monday. The rest of the packet seriously didn't last very long. On Tuesday Darren was craving a cappuccino so we went in to Starbucks and he bought me this weird marshmallow covered with hundred and thousands on a stick.... it was tastier than it sounds! On Wednesday I started a The Book Thief on the train. On Thursday I ended up going to Make again to do some more Laser Cutting and made these cards. On Friday I finished these off by putting some coloured card behind the to give better definition to them. Last night Darren and I watched Frozen for the first time! The songs have been in my head constantly since, a review will be published later in the week too! 

Blog posts from the past week:

Over the next week I will be away travelling through Britain to then be visiting the Harry Potter Studios, so it may be a little quiet over here on the blog. However, keep up to date with my either by following me here on twitter or here on instagram. 

I realise today is Monday and therefore this post should have been uploaded yesterday- bad blogger alert! Here it is today anyway! I've got to admit I've had a bit of a crazy week trying to get things done for my Graded Unit and probably done the most work I've done for it in the past week.

On Monday morning while making my way to college I found my favourite chocolates! Tuesday, mum and I took a little trip to Asda and I bought new pjs and nail varnish. Wednesday, Clare, Aarron and I met up for a little lunch at Costa before Clare & I took another trip to make. Thursday I made my own tea after having a cancelled dinner plan. Friday I spent another hour or so in Make printing my poster/leaflet design and it came out brilliantly! Saturday I received my bookmark from Ladybird Likes sample/seconds sale! I came home last night to find my mum had changed me bed sheets and put these Asda ones on! 

On the blog this week

This weeks been a bit hectic. On Monday, Clare and I went across to Make and signed up for their membership to use their equipment! We both had a shot on the laser printer. Tuesday, I had my Gray's interview and ended the day with some milk. On Wednesday it was freezing, so I decided to try Costa's new Belgian Hot Chocolate. Thursday before work I met a friend and had a lovely lunch at Books and Beans. Friday meant that the International Market was back in town and I was able to get poffertjes!!! At the weekend, I made some Pain au Chocolat. Today I painted my nails before going out for lunch. My mum also found this really lovely drawing and handwriting done by me for a mother's day when I was younger. I also have been working my butt of all afternoon doing my college stuff!

This week on OhHay!

This week hasn't been very overly exciting- just quite laid back. On Monday, I came home to a naked bed so decided to put my favourite sheets on! Hello mint, purple and brown chevrons! Tuesday, Clare and I made a bit of a mess while experimenting with paper, gluing stuff, cutting magazines and painting or sketches. I also had my second mentoring session which went well again! Wednesday was a bit of an uneventful day apart from catching up with a class mate from last year. On Thursday after work I decided to nip into the newly opened British Red Cross Shop and spotted these soap and glory gloves and snapped them up! After going out with Avon, me and mum drove to Aunty Betty's and got some ice cream. They finally have my favourite flavour back in stock so yes, I've been eating lots of ice cream! Friday Night started Darren and I's kind of movie weekend by watching The Great Gatsby, after this we watched The Purge- sooo creepy! On Saturday after taking a walk down the road, Darren, I and my mum went to the garden center. I tried the lemonade from Fentimans- can't say I liked it too much though. We then spent the night eating Chinese food and watch The Hunger Games! Today after working through the Aberdeen Trophy Celebratory Parade I've been working like mad on Uni/College stuff but after the #lbloggers chat I reached 100 followers!! What a great way to start the week of??

Over the past week OhHay! has seen these posts:

I haven't really decided what will be on the blog this week (oops) but just keep checking back for updates! 

Have a great week!!

The week kicked off with an excessive amount of pinning, cutting, typing and gluing for getting things sorted for my first mentoring session! My first session was on Tuesday and went well (or so I am led to believe) and I mainly just need to finish of my research. On Wednesday I continued a little research into paper engineering by making origami swans and trying my hand at hand paper cutting intricate designs. I also got my first lemonade of the season as this week has been gorgeous weather! On Thursday night everybody was out of the house and I really couldn't be bothered making anything so I ordered Chinese. I also picked up these new socks that I wore on Saturday- so cute!! On Saturday, Darren, his little sister & her friend and I made some truffles. We ran out of chocolate strands so had to use a mixture of white and rainbow coloured ones instead. I also bought a few new things to try from Boots!

Time of work!

First mentoring session going really well

On OhHay! this past week:

This week on OhHay! will feature: week 2 of my Graded Unit and something else haha! 

This past week has servilely been an emotional roller-coaster. At the beginning of the week we had to present our final e-courses for our Client Presentation Unit and I am really bad doing these types of things in the way we had to present them. I really hate doing these and it didn't help that one part of our 'e-course' didn't work at one point. On Tuesday the day didn't get of to a great start as I failed my driving test with one major and I only had two minors!! But I heard back from Grays later in the day inviting me to an interview so that put me in a better mood. On Wednesday I spotted a copy of Frankie and bought it straight away! On Thursday my work still had the delicious Lily O'Brien's Chocolate and I bought two packets. Friday me and Darren decided to go to Frankie and Benny's for tea but we were extremely disappointed. Usually when we go there the service is good and we don't have a problem with our food. But they ended up getting my order wrong and had the bill added up wrong too. Saturday Darren and I just had a quiet night in after I finished work as I wasn't feeling great. We had Chinese food, watched the first few episodes of the new season of Walking Dead and mum bought ice cream! Today wasn't exactly exciting either as I woke up after having a nose bleed during the night and was feeling rubbish all day.

Getting an interview for Grays University!
