Hope you all had a great Christmas break and a belated Happy New Year!

I wasn’t planning to but somehow I have taken a bit of a break from blogging. It wasn’t intentional it just kinda happened with the hectic run up to Christmas, being busy in work & relaxing over the Holidays I haven’t been able to give my blog any <3 !

So what’s been going down in the life of Lee?!

Well, for those of you that don’t follow me on Twitter or Facebook you may not know but for Christmas, Brian & I got a new puppy. We are the proud doggy parent’s of a Bichon Frise and her name is Muffin. We are enjoying her so much. She is the best companion and she has settled in just perfectly.

Here she is in her special Christmas collar:

Of course Muffin is just another excuse to shop! She had to have a funky lead so I headed to Mollys in Dun Laoghaire, the staff were so helpful, I thoroughly recommend a visit. I finally settled on the Floral Fling Retractable Lead by Avant Garde, even with the consent of Brian.

Although Muffin is only small, I decided to go for the medium size lead, which extends to 15ft compared to the small which is 9ft and I am delighted with my decision. 15ft seems to be just perfect; I feel that 9ft is too short even for a little pooch like Muffster

So what else is news… Well, last Saturday was my 27th birthday and boy was I spoilt rotten. Friday was my “work birthday”, the mortifying moment the whole office sings & then stuffs their faces with Marks & Spencer cake. Family dinner on Friday night was lovely and Mummy K produced her famous Sticky Toffee Pudding with a musical candle

A day full of surprises courtesy of Brian followed on Saturday. From surprise trips to the hairdresser to a shopping spree to dinner for two turning out to be dinner for a few. My day was FANTASTIC and major brownie points were earned and we haven’t even mentioned my presents yet!

From Brian as well as all my surprises I was lucky enough to get my Bvlgari Tubogas wraparound sunglasses with crystals. Mod. 6030B, to say I LOVE them is an understatement. I prayed for sun at the weekend so I could wear them & I have to say I was pretty lucky. Every time I pass a window, bus stop etc I can’t help but sneak a look!

My sister & brother have arranged some spa treatments while on my holiday later in the week in Eilat, Israel and my parents are going to mend the ring that had to be cut off my hand in Spain in August when my fingers were caught in a car door (never a dull moment!).

I am off to the Holy Land on Thursday with Mummy K for a girlie week away in the sun (fingers crossed).

On that note, I think it’s best to say that I’m back, please check back for regular posts.
