Right Now, I’m Excited

A lot has happened this month. My cat died, I turned 22 and I moved out. I’m sad and hung up about my cat, Tigs, but most importantly I’m excited and refreshed with every aspect of my life.

I’ve wanted to turn back to my blog for a long time and I find it hard. I know it’s an over saturated market but like everyone else, I want to be different, I am different. I just need to show you guys what I'm made of and what I'm passionate about.

I like the idea of keeping my blog as an online journal from now on. What I like, what I dislike, how I find university, the relationships I have in my life and how I’m finding adult hood (hint, hint… adulthood is confusing).

This year I had a summer holiday (although I do still work 4 times a week), I wanted to use my spare time to do all the things I don’t usually have time to do. But guess what? I have three weeks left and I don’t believe I have done any of those things. Overall, I’ve just realised that these things aren’t a priority and if I really wanted to do them so much, I would have done them by now.

The things I have done though, well I enjoyed them a lot…

I went to Cornwall with my parents and it was beautiful.

My dad and I went to Brighton Pride, we drank, we ate, but more importantly we saw Britney Spears.

 I turned 22! I went to my favourite brunch spot with my parents and nan. We did some house shopping for the new flat and devoured cake.

The following week I celebrated with my friends, we started with tapas and moved onto cocktails. My dad bought a round of absinthe and I danced outside in the warmth, it was brilliant. 

 As I previously mentioned, I moved out and it was very exciting. Even though the van broke down *extreme stress* the day went smoothly and by lunch time we were able to sit and relax and at a local spot I’m sure we will be going to more often.

 The best bit is there is more to come and I’m not ready for the fun to end. 

Speak to you all soon,

Pops

What I've Been Up To - February 2016

Hello,

I'm going to try and do one of these every month. These get a good response but also it's lovely to look back at what I've been up to.

1st February - The start of February was absolute bliss. A day of shopping, stuffing my face with food and watching movies. I tried the butter chicken burger from Bill's is one of the best things I have ever tasted, plus there sweet potato fries are just to die for!

10th February - This birthday cake screams cat lady, luckily it was for my nan who turned 70! There is nothing like celebrating with your family over food.

13th February - Night out! Brass Monkey our local club has a silent disco every month or so, they're so much fun. You all have earphones with three channels each channel being a different genre of music, silent discos are always my favourite kind of night out.

21st February - This ones a bit weird but some of you might understand. We have 5 cats, so the house is full and cats sleep, cats sleep a lot. So along came my dad with a crate and some nails and made the cats a bed shelf. They love it, no more angry sleepy cats.

22nd February - I took this photo on the 22nd but really I want to tell you that I started an apprenticeship on the 15th. I'm really enjoying myself and it's within the creative media category so it's right up my street.

Over all this month has been pretty good. I feel like I've been opened up into a whole creative media side of the world that I never new about.

This year is starting out pretty well, touch wood.

Thanks for reading,

What I've Been Up To - December 2015

Hello,

Here is an overview of December 2015.

4th of December - I went to a work-do at the race horses (I didn't bid at all as I don't wish to support it). It was still great fun and the three course meal was rather yummy.

9th of December - I made mince pies. This was so much fun and I had never made any kind of pie before so it was lovely to try something different, especially when the outcome is so delicious.

23rd of December - My mum, nan and I went to our local theatre to watch a pantomime, this year it was Cinderella. The fairy godmother being Jessie Wallace aka Kat Slater from Eastenders. We have started seeing the panto every year now which is a really nice way to get into the Christmas spirit.

25th December - Christmas Day!

Christmas day was so lovely this year. It's all about the food, the movies and just sitting around in pyjamas. We kind of have a routine now, so we get up have breakfast together (I had pancakes with bacon and maple syrup), open presents, tidy up, relax, make dinner, eat dinner, relax, then a small buffet in the evening. It's so nice to just spend the day together and not having to worry about anything.

I hope you have enjoyed my overview, there isn't too much going on but I did managed to have a lot of lazy days with my family.

Thank you for reading,
