Late posts - Birthday JUNE 2014

I know I have been M.I.A lately just so much has happened. After I moved back in with mum she has now sold the house and we are moving. Which means I cant keep the job due to the travel time and silly hours that they give me. So I am sure a lot of things will be changing in the next few months. 

Anyway this is a happy post about my birthday!

Happy 22nd Birthday to me!

Some beautiful flowers I have received. 

So the day started of as normal, Mia beckoning me to go town with her early as possible as she needed to grab a few things from the art shops. So being the good twin I came into town with her, She did however buy me a fantastic breakfast at our favourite Italian restaurant in cheltenham. The one just off the high street, on Winchombe street. It s small family owned restaurant called Dolce and Salato. 

I have written a post before about this little restaurant, Never before Have I met such friendly people and people who like kids and welcome them into their restaurant . The food was great as always I opted for scrambled egg and salmon ( weight watchers you will thank me later ) and Mia opted for the full work which for 6.95 including a pot of tea orange juice too! great prices! We did take the little ones into town which giving them a croissant they where really well behaved. On the trip out of the shop Mia decided to get a few treats for herself. Lucky me only had a nibble of one.

Mias large arrangements of nibbles.

So back home it was to pick up her oldest Dylan who's 4 from nursery, We watched a few movies and of course it was time for lunch. I have never actually spent the day with my sister on our birthday, I am usually with the other half at the time. However with john living so far away that was near enough impossible. 

Now sushi is one of my favourite foods, so with it being impossible to go to dinner we choose a nice lunch out instead just taking dylan and Harper and leaving Rueben with grandma for a couple hours. 

Beautiful little Harper

The most amazing cheesecake balls

M&S you work wonders!

And on my new plates I got from the vintage fair in gloucester

What I got.

One of my main presents from John and Mother was the new tattoo I had which I love, something to remind me of my man!

I also got a few little bits from my sister and my dad, too many photos to post so here are some random ones!

I would of much rather stayed 21, but we cant all be young forever :(

Lunch with the girls in Revolution , Cheltenham. 

So on Monday me and the girls (Charl and Becca) decided to go for some lunch and cocktails, Some of my favourite things! 

So we had to find somewhere not too expensive and good value for money with the drinks. So we picked Revs, This is a chain of bars, I know theres one in Ipswich, They must be dotted around the Uk.  I have been here about three times before one for lunch when I first moved here and  the other times when I was out drinking. 

To start off with the deco was nice the guy Adam who served us said they where going for a Kath Kidson theme with the cushions and the art on the walls. It was lovely and quiet but they was maybe to the fact we where the only customers they had in. 

Me and my friend Becca, Yes taking selflies!

The restaurant and Bar, It has almost a rustic theme to it. 

We ended up getting two big pitchers at £10.00 each which worked out at 6.66 for 6 drinks! That's so good value for money on such nice drinks. 

The food was good, The one thing I don't like is over processed food and a lot of it. I can't handle too much food on my plate which overlaps each other. Unless it's a roast then its a problem. 

However the quality of the steak well good, I like mine medium rare. Which I kindly had to remind the guy how I liked it when he took our orders. Comes with home made chips and a very PEPPERY black pepper sauce. I couldn't handle it, too much pepper. This costs £8.00 Which I think is reasonable. 

Becca overly enjoying her steak!

For pudding Charlotte had a cheesecake which she said was amazing, And I had a fondue with Becca. 

It was caramel chocolate fondue, cinnamon sticks, raspberries, marshmallows and oreos. The oreos went needed I do not get the need to dip chocolate in to more chocolate. The best where the raspberries and the chocolate the rest all turned out to be a little too heavy for my liking. 

Anyway, Im giving 7/10 Possibly would of been less but I was with good company and the steak was cooked good, Only downside was the sickly dessert. My fault I have eyes bigger than my belly. 

Have you tried it
