A New Beginning

It has FINALLY happened! I'm so happy, excited, a bit nervous, slightly overwhelmed, and overall relieved! I have found my own little home just for Sprog and me! It's absolutely perfect for us, not too small, fairly convenient location, and neighbours who seem quite friendly (so far...)- as of Monday just gone, we have a 1 bedroom flat to call our own!

The lounge is huuuge.... well, it's definitely not on the small side, that's for sure! The bedroom is fairly generous; it's double, heck maybe even triple the size of our current room! Even the kitchen and bathroom aren't even pokey for a 1 bed flat! And in some of the flats that I'd looked at before, in some of the rooms I'd have been lucky to fit my tank ass in there and shut the door! xD Haha in fact, it's so perfect, even the hall doesn't make it feel cramped! I really can't wait for it to be ready to move in to; The Rents are being fab, they've been helping me pack stuff up and take it over already, took me out to Homebase, Argos and Carpet Right to buy stuff, and they started to decorate the whole place for me today! :') Gonna be living without a washing machine or fridge freezer for about a week or so, and no sofa's for nearly 4 weeks, but that's ok, we can definitely survive that :D hehe

I can't wait to finally have somewhere decorated exactly the way I want aswell, the lounge is gonna be gorgeous (I'm probably just biased....), but I've got a smokey grey carpet being laid in the lounge, and the sofas are a deep plum colour (both great against Sprog Stains!), and the walls are going to be a dusky purpley-pink colour, with décor (when I eventually can afford that stuff) will be white with intricate detailing. The bedroom is having a brown, beige and cream striped carpet laid, with soft apricot walls, and all décor etc will be a rainbow of different pastel colours! Perfect for mummy and Sprog ^_^ the hall will have a greyish beige carpet with almond walls, and the kitchen and bathroom will both have pastel yellow walls where it's not tiled. :) it's gonna be B. E. A. U. Tiful :') hehehe

Once it's all finished, I'll be posting before and after photos, just like on Homes Under The Hammer :') hehehe eeeeeep so excited!!! ^_^

Thanks for reading, everyone! Hope you're still enjoying my posts, and don't forget, if you have any ideas for posts you'd like to see, or whatever, or just want to stop by and say hero, please do! I'd love to hear from you :D

All the best, God bless xD

Here's One I Made Earlier

From Thursday 31st HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!!!!!!! Or Samhain if you celebrate it :)

In just a matter of 2 weeks, I can't believe how much has happened, how busy I've been! I shan't drag you through every menial detail, that would be just sadistic of me ;-)

Well the highlights include having an aunt and some cousins (but not all from that clan) stop over for a night, which was really nice to see them, but would've been a lot nicer to see the rest of them too, but they have their own lives and commitments, the eldest has been living it up in the South of France working for a holiday company! The second eldest is living in Scotland with her bump and boyfriend :') can't wait to meet them all hehe

On Friday, I got to remind myself of just how much of a lightweight I have become since being pregnant! I got to enjoy the company of my old friends from 6th form once again (which is a rarity- boooo!), and as it was one of their birthdays (Happy 23rd, again, Ms Bubbles ;-) hehe) we went to a ska night in a pub we've never been to before, and had a good giggle actually! Then by midnight, we went onwards to the chav pit that is Liquid Envy! Some good tunes, brought back some very good (albeit hazy...) memories of student nights out with the one and only Wine Girl! Lol :) However.... by 2.30, I was home, had glugged a pint and a half of water, and then tucked up in bed! Rock and roll..... Haha, I guess that was aprtly down to me trying to be sensible, and keep from feeling incredibly rough all day whilst trying to look after Sprog! It'd be a trillion times worse than just having your bog standard hangover day! Chasing a mischievous little imp all day, with a spinning head and a churning stomach...? Yeah, I'll pass on that one, thanks :P 

Tuesday, I viewed a one bed flat from the council, was a nice central location, close to Uxbridge, but it was a 1 bed, and I didn't have a bath, just a shower, in a windowless room. But never mind, something will eventually come up! Just got to carry on being patient >_< lol

Halloween was an ok sort of day, eventually made it to Toddler World, where it was packed from pillar to post with crazy dressed up children running around, mainly aged between 3 and 5 (and I'm sure there were older ones there too....), with painted faces..... Had to tell a couple off for nearly running sprog and a mummy friend's baby over on a trike! One was pushing the other REALLY fast, and REALLY close to the edge of the mat that we were sat on! And from what I could see, they didn't have a parent telling them off! Grrrr!!! Moving on quickly.....

This weekend! *sigh of relief!*
The Rents went away for the weekend, for once! It was awesome, sis and me had a Twilight movie marathon spread over the 2 nights, Indian takeaway, got lots of housework done, and there was generally just a much more relaxed atmosphere! :D alas, they are now home, and another normal week is about to begin...... With another viewing! Of another 1 bed flat....... =|

Also, my best mummy friend and I have decided that starting from tomorrow, we are going to turn our lives around and get back on track! We are aiming to drop a dress size in time for Xmas! 2 months-ish is ample time, right? I'm a size 16-18, by the way, no idea how much I weigh, but I go by how my clothes fit, anyways, much easier to tell hehe so I shall keep you updated on that one!

So, til next time, readers! Hopefully I won't leave it as long this time!

I just ask one small favour from now on, as well as the +1's etc, please could you support me and help me along my journey to getting the slimmer, smoother curved body I used to have!
