Well hello there my little lovelies! Here we find ourselves at another Sunday. How did this happen? Was it not just Monday? It's been a mixed bag of emotions this week over at Casa Duffy. There's been lots going on, some things going too fast and some that can't happen quick enough. Some little stressful, nervous moments and some seriously exciting ones too. We move in just over a month and I feel like I need an extra 20 hours in the day. Is this possible? I wish I could bank time and withdraw it when I need it. This would be a week where I'd be waaaaaaaaay into my time overdraft! Anyway, how has your week been? Has it been flying in too? Are you getting time to relish the little things? Here are some of mine lately...
:: buying a new car!!!! Yes, lots of exclamation marks there! Ooops and another. Ok, I'll stop! ;) We finally traded in our trusty little red Skodie (Skoda in normal speak) for a big monster of a Volvo V50. Don't worry if you don't know what this is, I didn't until O started pointing them out on the roads a few weeks ago! The Mr has a penchant for big estate old man cars and this is what we got! Don't get me wrong, the leather heated seats are my new best friend and the fact that I can control my own air con/heating had me sold right away! We're still trying to think of a name for him. We tried on a few Swedish ones but nothing fits so far. Any ideas?
:: finding a new Scottish home - yup, so this weekend was spent up in Ayrshire in Scotland trying to find us a new little home. We've been finding it pretty tough to move from this humongous house to a flat (not many houses going in the area we want) and we were all set to throw the towel in when we discovered a little bungalow in Ayr. I know what you're thinking, a Volvo and a bungalow? Yes, we're turned 60 overnight! But it's the cutest little thing! Two bedrooms, front and back gardens and a HUGE shed for O. Cross your fingers and toes for us, won't you?
:: seeing my little mutt again! A trip home always means I get to see my little Border Collie Lucy again. Oh and my family too of course! But there's nothing sweeter than the unconditional love of your puppy :)
:: getting ready for Autumn/Winter - I know, don't shout at me! I realised the other day that I didn't have any proper jackets, so I went on a little online shopping spree and now I have three...oops!
:: US Netflix - I finally found out how to get all the juicy US shows! This whole week has been filled up with season one of Once Upon A Time, I'm properly addicted! Does anyone else watch it?
:: visiting a curry house that O had been raving on about for years. We took ourselves out for a treat on Friday evening after a very stressful day of house hunting. Oh lordy. The naan breads were pretty much the full size of the table. Mmm...I'm having peshwari naan flash backs!
:: M&S raspberry lemonade...have you tried it? It's like a little flash of summer in a bottle.
:: Antipasti - oh I can't understand why I've only just discovered this? It's my most favourite food at the moment. Cured meats, cheese and of course some lovely crusty bread. Yum!
:: Last, but certainly not least...Seche Vite fast dry top coat! Again, a little late to the party with this one, but it has seriously changed my nails. I painted them on Thursday morning (Essie Bahama Mama in case you were wondering) and they are still chip free today. This is a complete miracle for me, as they usually start chipping later that day. I might do a whole post on this at some point, but for now all you need to know is...buy it!
So my bestests, how have your weeks been going down? I want to know all the juicy details! Leave me a little comment below or even tweet me @weezyduffy using the #SundayMornings hashtag :)

How exciting that you got a new car! And best of luck for your new home. It sounds amazing

I lost my autumn jacket on the bus... a month ago and I still haven't got around to getting a new one. I'm just getting cold in the mornings now.
ReplyDeleteMy week has been super slow and I should probably get out of bed and start this week now!
Aww! I've been annoyed all week that it hasn't been cold enough to wear my new jackets! Silly nice weather!! Hope you have a grand week!
