Revelations and Celebrations..... Kind Of..... :)

Wow, another post so soon?! Check me out! Lol

Well since my last post, which was on..... Sunday.....? Maybe? A few kind of exciting things have happened! Firstly, after working out how to work out the financial side of it, I've decided I'm going to finally become a Scentsy consultant :D I can't wait to buy my Consultant's Kit :') then on Monday whilst Sprog was at nursery, I went to visit my nan and we sat and did a little bit of training, we gave each other a bit of a reading, and she told me she was being told to tell me to "grow a pair" lol so I did! For once! The next day on Tuesday, I finally sprouted a rather bulbous pair and spoke to Sprog's dad over a handover coffee about how I want to move away to Great Yarmouth/Caister, and not only did he agree and approve of it, he's fully and completely supportive of this move! So much so, he said he wants to move away with his new-ish gf and their new baby as he doesn't want to bring a child up in this area! :D

Also on Monday, I saw that there is a new tea room about to open up in town, which had an ad in the window for full and part time vacancies, so, naturally, I applied, and then had an interview on Tuesday! Unfortunately I did't get the job, but after working out all the finances and implications of working whilst Sprog is at nursery and with her dad, on top of being a Scentsy consultant, well basically I'd be stupid not to! I'd be so much better off financially, and I'll also have something extra to do! So I then went and applied for a couple of other jobs too! Wish me luck! ^_^ hehe

Lastly, yesterday after Slimming World (I gained half a pound, boooo!!!), Sprog and I went off to visit our dear friends Lullsbud (follow her, she's lovely!) and her gorgeous little one at their new home in Stevenage ^_^ thanks for a lovely day guys ^_^ <3 xxxx We also both decided that we're going to have a bash at vlogging too! On top of our blogs hehe 

Like, share, +1, comment, let me know if you'd like me to write about a subject in particular :) xxxx

A New Lease of Life!

I know..... It's been a year, it's lousy! And it wasn't a great year, let's be honest! So after my melt down last March, I sought proper help, went to CBT, also enjoyed a smashing holiday to Caister-on-Sea with Lullsbud and her sprog-

I also discovered and rediscovered a lot of things about myself over the year too; firstly I need to remember I'm an adult and I AM allowed to stand on my own two feet, make my own decisions and don't need to ask permission from parentals.... hehe. I also learnt that not everyone you hang out with (or try to...) is really your friend..... even if they do have a lot in common.....

I turned 25, and attempted to throw a party...... only my good friends turned up! If you're reading this, you lovely people know who you are! I was also signed off/discharged from CBT that week too, which was nice! :)

This pic is of our roadtrip when a good friend took Sprog and me out for the day to buy my party food and went for lunch :) and he bought me my birthday cake :'D xxx


Sprog turned 2! OMG!!!! I also threw a party for her too, again only good friends turned up!!! This iced the cake for me with regards to point number 2 above.....

I can't forget to mention the beautiful wedding I had the privilege and pleasure to attend in June, of the Bains! :') ovbs they had a Disney theme seeing as Mrs Bain is slightly obsessed hehehe :') it was a wonderful day and got to meet some wonderful people!

 For the first time in months I felt slimmer and pretty, and had a lovely day with my own princess :) thanks again for inviting us, Mr and Mrs Bain ^_^

In light of the lesson of learning who my real friends were, and finding I still wasn't socialising all that much, I decided to create my own group just for single parents in West London, in late September, and I'm so glad I did as I've made so many lovely new friends who all understand each other better! It's amazing how much difference marital status makes your friendships! Shocking and almost appalling I would say...... Though of course that is purely just my personal opinion! Hehe

Anywho!!! Less negativity! I've met some lovely fellow mummies through my group, and ended up going here with one of them with her 2 girls! Twas a splendid day!

The same week as going here, my mum sent me a shocker of a text! Look who joined our crazy family!

Isn't he gorgeous??!? This is Loki, he's a Jack Russel, and he's now about 17 weeks old I'll hazard a guess at, in this pic he was only 7 weeks old and absolutely tiny! :')


 Another thing I discovered about myself is that I have inherited clairvoyant abilities from my nanny and have since been learning to develop them through her love and guidance :) she's training me up basically hehe the weird and scary thing is how strong and quick my abilities started to come through as soon as I started! Looking forward to being able to help people properly :)

Despite my emotional hardships of the year, I have somehow managed to achieve two great things, firstly I stopped biting my nails for Lent and managed to carry it on, I now have gorgeous sexy talons! ;-) hehehe secondly, on October 7th, I bit the bullet and joined Slimming World after my mum suggested it, which she said just ignore what dad says about it.... well I can proudly say that since that day, I have lost 1st 2.5lbs and already I am feeling absolutely fabulous! :D

 This first pic was at another wedding in 2013, but my weight wasn't much different to when I joined SW!
 

This was me 2 weeks ago, 1st 2.5lbs later! Last week I maintained my weight as Sprog and I defeated a cold each, and Sprog had a minor case of conjunctivitis, this healthy eating plan is obviously helping us both from the inside out! :) all those yummy fruits and veggies ^_^

Another minor victory for me is eventually forming a better cooperative relationship with Sprog's father, after we both separately had to attend a SPIP (Separated Parents' Information Programme)..... Well despite my cynicism, it did actually prove to be helpful after we'd both attended our sessions! So far, things are a lot calmer! And I'm happy :)

Well that was my year in a rather big nut shell.... maybe like a coconut..... and I don't like coconuts, and I didn't like 2014 all that much! I will look back on it with relief that I survived and came out a lot stronger and wiser than when I went in! To celebrate the end of the year and welcome in 2015, I got to go to a Fabulous (with a capital FABULOUS) New Year party at the Holiday Inn hotel, it had a Las Vegas theme, with show girls, roulette wheel and everything, dress to impress..... So I did.....

 Happy New Year

Here's to an awesome 2015!
