The To Do List

This is just like a bucket list, which, I know I have done before on here but this is a bigger, better list that I want to share with you all!


  • Go down under to Australia - after watching I'm a Celeb for so many years on the telly I am buzzing about the idea to visit the country! 
  • Jump over the pond to the land of the USA - I want to visit so many states in America such as California, New York, Florida and Boston. And I definitely want to go to Disney!
  • Visit the Grand Canyon - I would love  to visit many natural wonders of the world and the Grand Canyon is one of them! 
  • Visit Nigara Falls - another natural wonder I would love to visit! 
  • Cuddle a koala bear- I just think koala bears are so adorable and cute. I think it would be an amazing thing to do whilst down under! 
  • Watch a sunrise - I have forever been watching sunsets but have never sat down and properly watched a  is partly due to the fact that I am NOT a morning person. But one day I am determined to get up and watch one! I might even just stay up all night to watch it happen! 
  • See the Northern Lights - I have an ambition to travel the world and see absolutely EVERYTHING possible. The Northern Lights always look incredible in pictures or on the telly  and I would really love to see them in real life! 
  • Watch a solar eclipse - the idea seems fascinating to me and I have seen them on the telly before and really want to experience it in person! 
  • Fly in a hot air balloon - I love seeing the world from above its one of the reasons why I love flying! A hot air balloon looks like an incredible experience! 
  • Fly in a helicopter- looks so cool and seems like so much fun! I must admit it was another one which was influenced by I'm a celebrity! 
  • Go snorkelling in Australia - I would love to be able to witness what goes on under the sea and this is one way I would love to experience it! 
  • Swim with dolphins - I have always loved animals and have had pets throughout my life. I find dolphins really cute and would love to see them up close!
  • Get 200,000 views on this blog - I love blogging and it is an absolute passion of mine which I would love to continue
  • Go to the Bikini hotel in Berlin - I heard about this place on a fashion and lifestyle blog "Its Thursday Tho" which is written by Betsy Blue English. It looks amazing and I've always wanted to visit berlin as well!
  • Run the London marathon - Love the idea of a challenge and for me the London marathon is the ultimate challenge!
  • Do something for charity - It is my wish to help out others that are less fortunate than myself.

Russell Howard world tour weekend

Hey everyone!

I have finally got a new blog post for you all today! (Sorry about that!) If you saw my twitter, instagram or snapchat last weekend you would have noticed that I was in Nottingham  last weekend. That was because  I had tickets to see my favourite comedian Russell Howard in Nottingham's motorpoint arena for his Round the World tour. I had an amazing weekend and was just what I needed after such a stressful period of time. (it hasn't let up quite yet though. This past week I've had drama moderations and this week coming I have mock exams in English, maths and chemistry)

Our Russell Howard tickets were for Saturday the 25th so I drove up earlier that day and checked into my  hotel room and dumped my luggage down. Then it was time for shopping! I made a few purchases in Lush, Primark and New look that day and I will show you them in a collective haul I will do very soon. (and I mean soon Anna!)

For dinner that day I ended up in Frankie&Bennies which I love and shared chicken wings and calamari with my mum for starter and for main I had the New York chicken burger. It was so good and wish I had more. (I always do! I love my food!)

Then it was time to head to the motorpoint arena. The date I went was actually and extra added date so I expected it to be a little bit empty but it  was packed! The arena capacity is 10,000 and there were 8,000 in the audience on the Saturday night! As you may have seen on my social media Russell performed in the round and had me laughing all night long! I loved every single second and quite frankly haven't found a stand up so funny in all my life! It just shows you how talented Russell really is! I would see him again in a heartbeat!

The next day was mothers day and for my mum I got her a picture frame with a picture with the two of us in. I also did a bit more shopping and wandering around the shops before going home and having to revise for all my exams.

I had the best weekend and totally wish I had more dates for the tour! If you want me to vlog the next time I have one of these weekends please let me know! Also don't forget to follow me on her and on twitter, insta and snapchat (@Abbey_Mariexx)

Bye for now!
