WEEKLY WONDERS

Evening All :)

Another post that hasn't been wrote in a while... a weekly wonders post! 

This week

-I've been at work alot more, I'm due a weeks holiday soon which I can't wait for.. I'm making plans to spend some time with my friends that I haven't seen in quite sometime, also looking forward to doing abit of shopping and treating Alex and I :)

- We did our usual swimming on Tuesday, Alex had loads of fun. He's not keen on the changing rooms and usually gets a little upset but once in the pool its all forgotten about. Here's a rare photo of him in his little spider man swimming things :)










-What I wore to our swimming day. I usually walk to the leisure centre which is about 30 mins away, I love a good walk personally. The weather was lovely and warm but still abit of a chill in the air. This was the first day I've actually been out without my coat. 
A nice comfy big khaki jumper (my favourite jumper ever!) and a pair of black jeans, a nice gold necklace with a heart, stupidly I took the photo over the necklace so can't really see it, sorry haha! Nothing special but comfy mummy clothes and suitable for running those errands :)


- I've also decided I'm going to try and take more pictures.. try being the word, I generally just forget until something has happened! I'm also not very good at it, see above haha! 
- I bought a 2016 diary back in January that was only used for a couple of days, I've recently got that back out and started writing appointments etc in it, just to keep track and know where I am with everything. Nothing wrong with a little organisation!


- Over on Graciesworld I've created a thread where I'll be doing a Q&A blogpost tomorrow, head over, like the page and drop your questions there, I can't wait to answer them!!

Let me know in the comments what you've been up to, I love to hear about it :) 

Love to you all :) x

WHATS BEEN GOING ON?

Can't believe its been 3weeks since we last spoke... seems a long time.. hope your all good and been up to some interesting things, would love to hear all about it :)
Its gonna be a long chatty one.. bare with me :)

So what have I been up to?-Working has been thing main thing- I'll explain more further down
-We've been doing our usual swimming sessions with friends, Alex is really loving it which I am so glad about :)
- I added an About Me page where you can find all my contact details.
-On a walk to the shop the other day we randomly saw some ducks, Alex was so interested in them, chatting away and asking question. He got really upset when I said we had to leave. Personally, ducks are one of my favourite animals, don't ask why.. I don't really know haha!
He's become such a little chatterbox, and also a little monkey with a bad attitude at the same time haha! Anyone else with a 2year old the same?

I've started reading a book; Cheryl - My Story. So thats Cheryl Cole, Fernandez versini... not sure what she's called these days to be honest. Have you read it? I'm enjoying it.

This week I've been catching up on other blogs. Two that I've been enjoying are 
Have a gander at both x



So where have I been?
Honestly, I've still been here, just very quiet on all social media accounts to collect my thoughts.
Without going into it all too much, the last 2 and a half years  have been extremely hard ones for me (and people who have gone through it with me) for many different reasons, for things that can be changed and for things that can't.  I just reached the stage where it was all too much and every day seemed like a bad one with things going wrong or hearing bad news resulting in hitting abit of a low moment for a couple of weeks, but seemed much longer.
I've had some good days and some really bad ones #totesemosh where getting out of bed was too hard- but Alex made sure I did haha bless him. He's been a great help in keeping me going and not becoming a complete recluse.
I lost all motivation to do most things for myself for example doing exercise, etc it all took a back step and sitting in pjs, being boring, is all I could find the strength to do most days. Going to work was a massive struggle for me, with loss of confidence and being judged for the way I was acting/feeling. But had to be done!
This also meant that my blog suffered as I also had Bloggers Block and just didn't know what I could talk about  or the confidence to start writing. The way I was being gave me quite a shock as never have I behaved in such a way- it was weird of me! 

But.... on a happier note, I'm feeling much more positive and I think I needed that time to just collect my thoughts,be with Alex, and just take time out.

I think going through tough times, build up your inner strength and the way you see things and every single time you have an obstacle to overcome you find a different way to deal with as you have learnt lessons and have more to learn. 

I want to say Thanks to everyone who has listened to me whinge haha I appreciate it :)

But enough of the serious talk - the sun is out :) yayyy. who had snow yesterday? We had hail, the weather is crazy at the moment. I can't wait for the 'real' summer to arrive!


Back to Blogging - woohoo! I have some ideas for blogspots but would love to hear yours too :)
