Five Things 31/52

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend, the weather here was lovely and mild again this weekend! We spent the weekend relaxing and enjoying family time. Big shout out to my wonderful Mammy it's her birthday today so a huge Happy Birthday to her.
Here are my five things from this weekend:

Early weekend treat! I bought these My Little Pony pyjamas on Friday. By Friday night I was snuggling in them with a cup of hot chocolate!

On Saturday we had my parents up for a family dinner to celebrate my Mam's birthday. As Paul and my Dad are on shift work Saturday was the only day that suited them both. Paul made this amazing dinner, leg of lamb with all the trimmings. We all scoffed it and couldn't move after it!

When we could finally move a few hours after dinner we wished my Mam a Happy Birthday with this cookie cake!

Lazy Sunday mornings of blueberry muffins, orange juice, tea and the Sunday papers...bliss!

I have been missing my glass of red while watching Downton Abbey on Sundays. So I was really happy when I found this non alcoholic red wine. It is a little bitter and tart but I can pretend to have a glass of red while watching my favourite show!

I'm off now to visit my Mam and give her birthday presents. Enjoy the rest of your day. What's your five things from the weekend?

Mini Pennys/Primark Haul!

Here in Ireland Primark is called Pennys! Crazy I know but that's how it is! On the paper bags it says Pennys operated by Primark. Anyhow lets get down to business! This morning I was feeling a little stir crazy after being on bed rest and it was a lovely fresh sunny morning so I asked Paul could we get out of the apartment for a while. We decided to have a trip to Pennys!! We spent around a hour and half wandering around Pennys it was great as it was early and it wasn't crazy busy so we could actually see what was in the store! 

So here is what I bought:

 I saw these cushions and loved them so I bought two for our sofa. They are €6 each.

 Here is what they look like on our sofa. I hate this sofa but since we are renting and hoping to move out in February I needed a cheap face lift for it and I think I got it with these cushions!

 I bought myself new boots! This is always my Autumn/Winter thing I buy lots of new boots, hats and gloves! I liked these as there flat and really comfortable these were €24

 We needed new pillowcases so I picked up these cheap and cheerful pack for €4

We also needed new sheets so I picked up this double fitted sheet for €9

 I really like these sports bras I have bought lots of maternity bras from different places and I always feel half way through the day they hurt and dig into my back and rip cage. These bras are fab I bought one a few weeks ago and I love it so I had to go back and get some more! They come with pads which you can take out if you like and for €5 there a bargain! 

 Paul bought this nice black shirt and tie for €11

 Yes I am 28 and yes I will be a Mammy soon but I still LOVE My Little Pony so when I saw these pyjamas I didn't just want them I NEEDED them! I bought a really large size so that they will fit over the bump these where €12

 I saw these in the men's section, yes its a little early for Christmas jumpers but I remember last year Paul wanted a Christmas jumper so bad but left it too late and couldn't get one anywhere! I wasn't taking a chance this time and picked this up for him it was €15

 Paul also bought me a Christmas jumper in a large size hope it fits when I am nine months pregnant! This was also €15

 I couldn't go to Pennys and not pick up some cute baby clothes! These cute sleepsuits where €9 for a pack of 3

I also picked up this 7 pack of short sleeved vests these where €9

Paul also bought socks, gloves, scarfs, and a lovely winter coat but he had them put away before I could take a picture of them. So that's our mini Pennys/Primark haul! Don't know if its just me but I always go into Pennys for a couple of things and come out with bags of stuff!
