Love / Hate

Hate

* Smokers who blow smoke in your face - If you want to smoke that's fine it's your choice but please don't sit beside a pregnant woman at a bus stop and light up a cigarette and blow it in her face! I always have to move away and its not fair!

* The atmosphere in work at the moment - People in my job are not getting on I have witness horrible behaviour from grown adults. I am not involved thankfully but its not a nice atmosphere to go into work too.

* Rude people when out shopping - I find this so annoying when out shopping and people push past you, hit off you and don't apologise.

* Public Transport - Well Dublin Bus mainly so annoying when we time a bus and it goes past you just as you get to the bus stop 15 minutes early!

Love

* ASOS website - The maternity section in this website is amazing! I wish I found it earlier before I spent €150 on maternity clothes I only half like! I bought three dresses, a pair of tights and a top for €50!! Bargain! I also found a dress for a wedding we are going to and a lovely pair of shoes!

* Ben & Jerry's Ice cream - I am having some major cravings for ice cream (any dairy food at the moment) and am loving the flavour fish food and cookie dough.

* That we are finally got a new car - Our money came through and now we finally got a new car after months of saving! A red clio and we named her Betsy!

* Game of Thrones - What are amazing TV show I totally love it can't wait for season four!

What are you loving and hating at the moment?

Five Things 24/52

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. We had a nice one spent with family, friends, yummy food and a chill out Sunday!

Getting a lovely surprise from my best friend's elderly Granny! She is a lovely woman who has being praying for us since I got told I had PCOS she was delighted when we told her I was pregnant. She sent my friend down to us with a bag of goodies for little blip! How sweet and how thoughtful I was almost crying when my friend gave me the bag.....blip's first presents!

My other friend met me for lunch over the weekend and bought me a lovely box of  chocolates which I enjoying eating while watching the season finale of Game of Thrones!

Finding this great body lotion I have dry skin in my legs and elbows so it great for that but I also use it every day on my bump and I am finding it great.

A lot of people may not agree with me and I don't normal drink since I got pregnant. I have to admit I am missing large glasses of white wine in the summer evenings or a glass of red wine with my dinner! I have been drinking non alcoholic wine but I did have a small glass of Guinness with a drop of blackcurrant in my parents the weekend. My iron levels where low and I had bad trapped wind so I though the Guinness might help. I have to say I did enjoy a little glass of the black stuff and I am sure it done no harm to little blip. It doesn't mean I am going to drink it again soon though!

Finding the website ASOS and ordering this dress I am thinking I could wear it for the rest of the summer like this and then team it with tights, boots, and a cardigan in the winter.

What are your five things for the weekend? Do you agree with drinking alcohol while pregnant? Do you think the odd glass of red wine or Guinness is okay? Or do you think its a big no no?
