It's been a while since I last posted on here and lots has happened so I thought it was time for an update.
Firstly, it's payday (praise the lord) and that can only mean one thing. My bonus is paid too! I'm so pleased. As much as I would love to be spending in on clothes and trips away, this one has to pay off debt. I'm desperate to get out of it so it's all going there. Which is a shame really but basically that has paid for my trip to the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix. It was amazing! We ended up with some really good seats (South Stand) which was where all the overtaking and action happened. So many people went off in that race and there were some great views across the marina too. But it was expensive, hence why it has taken me so long to pay it all back.
Next update. I quit the gym.......to go to the gym in my building. It's never busy but it's a huge room with plenty of space and a few weights which is perfect for my new favourite activity, circuit training. I've noticed some real improvement since I started circuit training and I combine it with a few weights to get the muscles pumping instead of just cardio. I started with an hour, which was intense but I managed it. Only to then be able to do 30 mins, 2 days later. Still I've had to cut down the time to less than an hour now but it's still working a treat. Beach body, here I come!
I'm now also off to Thailand. Never been but cannot wait. Only Hua Hin mind you. A friend won 9 nights hotel stay (2 in Bangkok and 7 in Hua Hin, although I can only do the Hua Hin part). I know you have to fly into Bangkok anyway but I can only be away for 7 days and private transfers were included in the break. Should be pretty amazing just to chill out and relax for a whole week! Woohoo!
I've also had to start thinking long and hard about my budget for when I move back to London. Some of the places I have seen are pretty rank, but I cannot afford to be choosy. I'm going to be on such a budget as I won't be on a particularly high salary and I'm dreading having to get the tube everyday. I'm hoping to get somewhere that I can walk or even take the bus. I find the underground quite depressing and you get to see so much more of London when you are out and about.
