The famous Poole Quay bike night

Every week during the summer bike night is held on the Quay. There are has been in the past over 800 bikes on the Quay. Although I cannot ride a motor bike I love to look at them. I find the shapes and sounds amazing. 

I liked this one just for the shape and color and although hearing the engine roar I can understand why its owner wasnt far away. I wouldnt want to leave mine for long if I had something like it either.

When we arrived it was just gone 530pm. The photos were taken just after 9pm and as you can see by the amount of people the bike night is very popular.

Sprinkles Bournemouth

I've heard so many good things about Sprinkles, unfortunately this will be my first and more than likely last visit to the Sprinkles Gelato chain.

From the moment we walked in the door the staff were miserable, there was no good afternoons, no smiles, no can I help you. Nothing! We stood at the till for a few minutes before being asked if they could help. I did think that this was perhaps that it may have been because they'd had a busy day, but looking around there was only a maximum of 20 people, all of which were sat and eating their ice creams.

When being served the lady that served my mom was playing with her hair and her large loopy earrings, whilst smacking her mouth with gum in and serving! she was wearing the blue gloves. Then proceeded to touch the cash register and ice cream and chocolate etc with the same gloves on.
The server that served me again wore gloves whilst handling cash then proceeded to making my son's ice cream which the majority was melted. I did not see the lady that dealt with my ice cream.
When my moms ice cream came there was 2 scoops of ice cream and the rest was whipped cream. After reading the description for the ferrero rochea ice cream. There was one type of sauce applied with hardly any on. One ferrero rochea, one wafer and not even a teaspoon of nuts sprinkled on top. For almost £6 this to us was NOT acceptable even less so when the ice cream was melted !! 
The cheesecake and ice cream I had served to me was melted. There were strawberries on the side of the plate were looking very much past its sell by date and the banana's on the plate were going off also. 

Banana's starting to turn

The cheesecake was served from the counter and was not chilled it was served at room temperature.
In my opinion as you can see our first visit to sprinkles was no where near what I expected it to be like and all the hype from my friends that have visited I expected a lot more from Sprinkles.

My one night off....

For the first time in what seems like forever I got asked out with friends, everyone had a sitter. Everyone was getting ready, including me.

 I'd even gone through with getting my haircut and buying a new dress. Anyone that knows me, knows I'm not a dress fan but for tonight i went out and brought a new maxi dress from M&co in Blandford. I love their clothing range I have to admit at some point I'm not as young as I used to be but when I do have to dress like a grown up this is usually the first place I shop.

Dress I choose

Tried on a few dresses one was multi shades of pink which is not really my color. Although it was a lovely dress I opted on the one you can see me wearing.

Its slightly stretchy and not to heavy, felt lovely on, plenty of room to move in and best of all the price was very good.

M & co do such good deals on clothing providing not just for women but men and children also.

If you shop online I would recommend M & co.At least once every two months there are sales (this week its 25% off. 

I love this shop so as soon as Friday is here I will be doing a little retail therapy.
