However, I made the effort to take these photos and put this post together, so I have given myself the go ahead and to share it anyway, four weeks late or not!
Back in June (which feels like forever ago) I thought about wanting to photograph more of what I do on a day to day basis. Not only to be able to look back on time that I've spent with friends and family but to also share with you guys how much I eat out (I regret nothing).
Starting with July I am going to focus on featuring a post like this every month giving you an update on what exactly I got up to the month before.
From daily outfit looks to pizza, pasta and naan breads the size of my friend's heads. I admit I've forgotten from time to time to actually do this, but here's hoping going forward I'll improve.
And who knows, in future months I may have photos not solely focussed on what I stuffed my face with!
Enjoy!
At the beginning of July a took a trip down to see my sister but to also attend a very exciting job interview! My sister, Lisa and friend Philippa celebrated with a doughnut, I did not as I was being 'good', in hind sight I might as well have!
The health kick did not end at saying no to doughnuts either! I took it upon myself to take advantage of where I used to live and went for a wonder along the canals. Mainly to try and get my steps up.
For those of you fellow Mancs who haven't been to Mackie Mayor before, what are you waiting for?! They have the most amazing food vendors and a great variety to choose from! This wasn't my first visit but it maybe my last for a while.
I highly recommend the pizza!
FYI I currently live in these culottes. :)
For those of you who know me, you will know I love pies and cannot help myself when scouting out the nearest pie restaurants.
I used to work in a pub in Marple Bridge who stock Pieminister pies and they are absolutely bloody lovely! I managed to visit their own restaurant in Manchester in July and wasted not one mouthful of my Mothership order. A must visit for all pie lovers.
Live and eat pie.
Last month I had my first visit to the Light Cinema in Stockport. Myself, little brother and step mum had tickets to see The Incredibles 2. Accompanied by a free refill of popcorn and sofas so comfy it's just like being at home.
SPOILER ALERT - I got the job! But I'll tell you all about that in a specially dedicated post!
Further trips to London were an essential this month to go through a two day handover for my new position. Start date was, Monday 20 August!
Good vibes only!
I am the Carbonara Queen. At eating it, not making it, don't be silly.
I'm a sucker for a good quote and nothing is more accurate than this right now.
Frankie and Benny's have got their napkins down to a tee; I am that person who won't let you eat your food until I have taken a photo of it, I'm not even sorry.
In July I sadly had to say goodbye to these two lovelies as they moved to Berlin for amazing adventures! We couldn't say goodbye though without a meal accompanied by naan breads that were bigger than our heads. Cue the proud parent photo.
Lovely surprises for getting a new job off two of my favourite people! Just wish I'd saved the photo before the Insta Stories edits, oops.
More food...
And again. These tapas from Bed in Uppermill though were absolutely amazing. I know understand why I have put on about 7lbs in the space of a month...
And to conclude, sunshine, roof down drives with my favourite person.
Not a bad month at all, here's to August, the month of change.
