Middlesbrough, you ain't so bad!

 

I think I mentioned that we'd moved to the North East in a previous post. Well, we're just outside Middlesbrough. We've lived here for two whole months now and we had never ventured into the town centre. Now, before we moved from Essex, I read lots of reviews of Middlesbrough and let me tell you, most of them weren't pretty (apparently I'm a smoggy now?). So yesterday instead of bumming about in our pj's, we drove into the town centre. To be entirely honest, at first, it looks a bit sketch. But once you have a mooch about, there's much more to it than even I expected! It's a university town you know (I didn't know)? So lots of decent eating places, although we were there too early to partake. There are also lots of decent shops and even a Starbucks (how I've missed you!!)!

How could I forget our main reason for our trip...birthday present shopping for Oscar! I'll post a photo below, needless to say, he was pretty impressed with the shops! So Middlesbrough, I will definitely be back to see your face soon!

PS Am I the only one who's looking outside at some torrential rain today? The bank holiday weekend is most definitely over :(

 

 

A little late to the party...

As usual, I'm a little late to the party. The blogging party that is. Well...that's not entirely true. I have dabbled in blogging in the past, but only half heartedly and then ditched it after only one post. What's different this time, I hear you ask? For one thing, my fiancé and I have recently relocated to the North East of lovely England and I have nothing else to do whilst I try to find the dream job (I have no idea what my dream job might be...) and attempt to keep the new house in an orderly state. So, here I am.

Another reason for starting this blog is to try to distract me from the addictive world of social media. I'm one of those annoying people, who, when bored, stalk Facebook, Twitter, Instagram...you get my drift. So I'm thinking that by posting all my ramblings and schnizz on here, I'll stop driving my friends crazy with frenzied Facebook posts. Here's hoping!

I can't promise that this blog will be full of whitty and interesting things all the time (well hopefully at least once or twice), but I hope I manage to attract one or two readers who find my posts somewhat entertaining.
