Weekend – The Friday Girl

Post-payday Money Diary

1st March 2019

Hey all *waving emoji*, I thought it’d been a little while since I did a spending diary. I had a bout of trying not to spend anything after Christmas including no clothes and many snacks so was leading a pretty boring life but spring is upon us, the sun is shining and this money diary starts on my payday. I’m doing a week Friday to Thursday for 7 days because I thought having a weekend right after payday is probably the good makings of a Money Diary. It’ll be a fairly normal week and I can run through a few bits I do with my money too. Read More

The Coach House, Derby

Lifestyle Travel

17th February 2019

Say hello to the beautiful Coach House B&B in Derby, a boutique bed and breakfast with 7 amazing rooms. This was a total treat for my birthday and it was an amazing stay so I had to pop up a little review about it. Literally 10 minutes from Derby city centre, around 30 minutes from Nottingham and 10 minutes from National Trust Kedleston Hall is this lovely little B&B. Read More

Where to eat vegan in Leeds – Temple Coffee & Doughnuts

Food & Drink Travel

13th May 2018

Well, I say Leeds because technically it is in Leeds. But, it is not in the city centre. Only visit these guys if you’re driving or you’re going to the student-y side of Leeds anyway. Don’t take a £13 round trip in an Uber for one like we did. Doh. (Lol, just read that back, not an intentional doughnut pun, I’m just gonna leave that in there…). It was almost worth it though because these guys are insanely delicious. Read More

2nd April 2017

Can you believe it’s April already? I can’t even believe it’s Sunday already. Where does the time go? Weekends seem to fly by in a flash, especially when they’re jam packed and busy. I love a busy Saturday and a chilled out Sunday. This seems to be our go-to formula for a perfect weekend. Read More

3 Rustic Weekend Home Decor Projects

Home & Interiors

18th June 2016

The rustic trend has been around for a while now and still continues to be as popular as ever. This is primarily due to its strong emphasis on recycling materials. Many homeowners like the idea that they are helping the environment by repurposing and recycling. Plus the unique qualities of old metal and wood add interest into their rooms, while often costing very little. So if you’re interested in creating a rustic vibe in your own home, don’t be tempted to buy everything from a store. Here are some fabulous home decor projects that can help you create a rustic theme almost instantly. Read More

The Saturday Files

Lifestyle Nottingham

28th May 2016

My Saturdays have been a little crazy recently, we had our mini break to Oxford, we visited my parents back in Bath (hey, Grillstock!) and I spent a Saturday shooting some awesome photos for the blog with Anna from Pear & Bear Photography too. I love being busy but my Saturdays are always the best when they’re lazy. Usually, I head to Crossfit for 8am for an interval session and to catch up with the team there. Then, I head home, grab some breakfast and tidy round the house before we head into town for some lunch or just a coffee. Read More

Here are a few essentials I’ll definitely be taking with me on our two-night stay. I like to pack ‘capsule wardrobe’ style pieces when I travel so I’ll be living in black skinny jeans and my dungarees. I can’t find mine to link to but these Dr Denim Skinny Dungarees available at ASOS are super similar. I’ll be pairing both of these staples with stripes and simple tees such as my new favourite Topshop Contrast Neck Stripe Top and Marks & Spencer Limited Edition Grey Tee. Read More
