This week started off really lovely, went a bit downhill and then just picked right back up again.

Valentine's Day with Tom was lovely. We went for a drive round the countryside, had a very yummy meal and ended it with a workout together. Definitely my kinda Sunday.

This week I've been off work and I was looking forward to some relaxing time catching up with all my blog and freelance work. But looking back, I think I bit off more than I could chew. It was safe to say that I had more on my plate than I could handle. But I feel in a much better place now.

My mum was off too and we had plans to do a lot - but we had no heat or hot water for the whole week! So most days we had to wait in for British Gas to come and add another part to the boiler and boy did we get cabin fever. It's still not fixed now!

But the past few days have been lovely. I had my hair done on Tuesday in a new balayage colour style and I'm in love with it. On Friday, my mum and I took my nana to a garden and home centre for a browse and lunch - although browsing definitely turned into buying! I saw lots of lovely things for mine and Tom's future home so I took some pictures to remind myself of them later on.

Then yesterday, my mum and I went to Boundary Mill and let me tell you - it was like heaven. Designer clothes and homeware at more than HALF the price. I got so excited. I bought a gorgeous Jaeger trench coat for more than half price and a pair of gorgeous black knee high boots. Find me on Snapchat at abranchofholly to see everything!

It's back to work on Monday but the week is ending on a high with a trip to see my brother at university and Sunday lunch out. Bliss.

Let's chat in the comments - what have been some of the highlights of your week? Anything new with you?
