BLOG AWARD


This blog award was given to me by Jude believe it or not before I actually had a blog!  These are the questions that I have to answer before passing it on.

List 4 things that keep your inner self beautiful

  1. My daughter, she is a truly amazing person and is growing into a truly amazing young woman!
  2. My family - they are all nuts but it makes me feel more normal
  3. A lie in - I am always having to set alarms - every morning there are alarms ringing in my house - I hate it and it drives me nuts so a lie in is awesome - I wonder what one is like?
  4. I'm struggling because I'm not sure who my inner self is - when I find her I'll let you know
List 4 things that keep me physically beautiful

1.  Clean and clear - part of my daily routine and I threw a hissy fit when I forgot it when we went to Center Parcs
2.  MAC make up - yes I know it isn't the cheapest but boy is it great stuff I love it love it love it
3.  False eyelashes on a night out - blink blink blink - love them!
4.  A great pair of high heels, I wear them so infrequently they cause no damage but I feel amazing in them!

Precious Memory

Travelling for 7 hours with a 2 week old new born baby - on a whim - to travel from South Yorkshire to Newquay to watch the total eclipse stood on Fistral beach.  We decided to do it about three days before the eclipse and we had no money for petrol and we counted the money in our penny jar and had to travel to Asda to use the coin machine to change it, so we had enough to get petrol there and back.  We got to Newquay and had two hours sleep in the car, parked the car up and walked to Fistral beach, had something to eat and stood on the beach with hundreds of other people, it had been an exceptionally cloudy morning and people said that visibility would be rubbish and we thought we'd wasted our time but persevered and then about 3 minutes before the time of the eclipse there was a break in the cloud and we saw the whole eclipse.  We donned our glasses so it was safe to watch it and a few moments later the eclipse occurred and the hair stood up on the back of my neck, there were people surfing in the dark and there was a sea of camera flashes and a few minutes later it was all over.  However,  it's something I will carry with me through the rest of my life and the moral of the story is that I stood there thinking and realising what a small cog I am in such a huge machine that we know of as life!  Then we set off back 7 hour journey in the opposite direction!

I'm unsure of who I will pass it on to at the moment (my blog list is a little sparse) but promise to do it.

First ever post!

I thought I would get myself a blog, as Virginia enjoys it so much and Jude awarded me a blog award so thought I should do something to deserve it. Still not entirely sure if i will have anything of interest to write but I'll let you lot be the judge of that! Well it's mother's day and my lovely daughter bought me a card some flowers and a teddy. The card has a badge on that I am at this very moment wearing it makes me look very special but my daughter is happy so that's the main thing! I am wondering about how to fit more things into my day there doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day. Virginia and my mum have done loads of art journalling and I don't seem to have done any. I recently have got a boyfriend and so I have dramatically less time than I used to have. So now I have had a little waffle i'm going, but will be back xxx

Anyone who gets easily upset don't read this blog it's a little depressing, apologies!

Well I received my decree absolute through the post, I knew it was coming, I knew that it was well over due to happen but when I read that letter I'll be honest first thing I did was cry. I told myself to stop being silly I told everyone it was just because I knew my daughter would feel emotional about it. However, I was also a little sad for myself. The worse thing is at the end you can't help but look at the beginning. He was my first boyfriend, he was my best friend and we were very happy, sometimes, but often we weren't we were so young and trying so hard. But financially we were always counting the pennie's and there were never enough and so rather than working together we started to resent each other. Eventually we had both had enough and we split very amicably 5 years ago. This morning when I received the letter, I first beat myself up emotionally telling myself I should have tried harder not given up so easily. Then I started to wonder what my life over the las
