Bank holiday!

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying the sunny weather this bank holiday weekend! :star:

I was just wondering what you've all been up to this weekend and if you have anything nice planned for the bank holiday today? 


Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    That sounds really nice @GreenTea. I'm sure it's going to be a really great sunset this evening. 

    It's been so hot this weekend @*BananaMonkey*! I think it's going to be even hotter tomorrow! 

    @Millie2787 that's so pretty! Love the design and purple and green colours you've chosen. Purple is the best colour! Did it take long to do?

    Today I helped my parents to set up our new paddling pool. And I listened to a toddler having a really loud temper tantrum  (the toddler was 5 houses down!) Yesterday I went swimming, down water slides, had a lovely lunch, ate cookies and when I got home I had angel delight (chocolate.) On Saturday I went dog walking and to a barbecue. During the dog walking I got really muddy shoes. We didn't know that the path would be muddy. At least I had lots of fun. Here is a picture of my muddy shoes. 😂

    @aife of course purple is the best colour !! I think I might have to get my nails done purple tomorrow! The colour will only last today it’s just temporary glitter glue type thing . Umm took the lady about 15/20 minutes but the smell is horrendous right now

    Everyone sounds like they have had so much fun!

    I haven't done much as I agree with @*BananaMonkey* in that it's so warm!

    On Saturday I got my new baby lizard, which has made the weekend to be honest, he's so adorable! But I have mostly spent it catching up on the TV that I missed while on holiday and being productive, getting thing's sorted for college next week. :)

    I'm glad to hear you had lots of fun @Kasa2103! Your shoes are so muddy! 

    Very jealous of your new paddling pool! I really want one of those! It would be perfect for this hot weather. 

    @Millie2787 Ooh no! Hopefully the smell gets a bit better! Purple is a great choice for your nails! You'll have to send us a photo of them after :). 

    @Past User aw that's so cute you got a baby lizard! Have you given him a name yet?

    @Aife it's really nice, they have a big beer garden over looking the river etc and it's literally 2 minutes walk from my house so going is really convenient!!

    Haha lol. It was so hard to get all the mud off them. Ended up using sandals that are a size too big to go to the shops afterwards. I almost always get muddy or at least covered in dog hair when I go on a dog walk. Something even funnier was that I wore a mask to help me breathe whilst waiting for food during the barbecue. It felt too hot to sit inside. It was like one of those dust masks.

    Aww so cute @Past User! Do you have a photo of him? 

    @Millie2787 yumm sounds lovely! Are you going to do some baking this weekend? If you are, you better post some to The Mix HQ! 

    @GreenTea your living in the perfect location! So great they have live music too! I haven't been up to too much this weekend. On Saturday I went to the beach which was so nice! Then this evening I think for dinner I might make a picnic and go to the park with my sister :). 

    @Kasa2103 ooh no! I hope you can wear your shoes again soon. Sounds like a nice BBQ! Did you have anything nice?

    At work and fucking shit as ever. 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Have a lovely time at the pub @Shaunie! I hope work wasn't too bad today :). 

    @Past User Bertie is a very cute name and he is the cutest lizard! 

    @Millie2787 I'll have to remind him about that! I tried gluten-free bread the other day and it was disgusting! 

    @Abigail I hope the driving theory prep is going okay. Enjoy the rest of your day today :). 

    <3

    I've always wanted to go to an outdoor cinema! Sounds like so much fun @Jellyelephant! Love the Greatest Showman! 

    @Millie2787 Thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to keep away from the gluten-free crumpets!
