O.M.G these past few weeks have been hectic, honestly I could do with an extra few hours in each day! I feel terrible for neglecting my blog, I've so many things I want to post about but it's a challenge to find the time to actually sit down and do it.
So anyway I'll just fill you in on whats been happening around here for me in the last 4 weeks:
- As some of you may know, I volunteer with Childline on a weekly basis, well I've decided I've done all I can there at the moment and have joined up with another organisation to be a mentor. So I have just finished my training with Le Cheile (mentor support to kids within the probation service) which was pretty full on and hopefully soon I'll be matched up with a young person and be able to help them in some way. I will still hopefully be involved with the ISPCC in some way too though.
- Me and my bestie took a trip up to Dublin last week for one last show with the boys from Westlife and let me tell you it was emotional! We'd been going to their concerts together over the years since we were young teenagers so it was only right that we go to the last show too. It was my first time at a concert in Croke Park and the atmosphere is amazing even if we were quite a bit away.The trip wasn't without its down sides though as the car was broken into the next day and my friends wallet got stolen..not great but could've been worse. I wont even embarrass us by filling you in on our journey home and how we managed to add an extra hour on to the journey...Women drivers eh?! :-P
- I went to my very first GAA match! It was the Cork v Kerry football semi final, I was a bit hungover on the day but hey, at least I can say I've been now!
- We won't even talk about Ireland's disastrous performance in the Euro's - I did venture out to watch the first game and there was a good buzz around...for a while! Irish fans are definitely the best though.
- There was a couple of trips to Killarney in the last month too - for the first time ever I ventured down Muckross Road and took a short walk to Muckross Abbey, its so pretty around there. It's also embarrassing that I have been going down there on a regular basis for the last 3 years and hardly ever venture further than the pubs and hotel..there's so much to see there.
- I've also been busy planning my next tattoo which is being done this Saturday, there'll be a whole other post about that though! So excited!
- I've lightened my hair too! I actually only did it because I wanted to put pink hair dye in but now the light colour has grown on me so I think I might stick with that shade for a while.

On a not so good note because I've been so busy my commitment to the gym has not been the best, however I am going straight back into my get fit and healthy routine starting Monday because I need to be in tip top condition for my venture to Galway in 5 weeks for the races, there'll also be a post about that too!!
Hope everyone had a great June, I can't believe its almost July!
