Insta-Month December
The storm damage to my gate // Night out in Lincoln // #ChristmasJumperDay 2013 Naked 3 Palette // The Harry Potter graffiti on the toilet wall in The Elephant House // Reaching 500 Bloglovin’ followers Christmas Eve // Some of Little Miss’ gifts // Seeing The Hobbit The highlights were…Christmas of course, especially Christmas eve and Christmas morning. Going to Lincoln Christmas market & seeing my best friend Bee. Seeing my other two besties Jess and Kariss and having a really awesome night out! Probably the best one (out of the four i’ve had ha) this year. Having my friend from the US come and stay for a few days.…

Ho Ho Homicide – A Christmas Murder Mystery
So normal people have nights out in all their glitz and glam for Christmas, the friendship group I’m part of like to get together and dress up. I much prefer this. Everyone (should) reaches an age where going out and getting plastered at Christmas doesn’t appeal anymore, my little sister reached it on Boxing Day where she lasted 10 minutes in the nightclub before heading home to her boyfriend and puppy, and even though everyone drinks at these gatherings (and sometimes I get a bit silly after a bottle of wine and make a fool of myself still) it’s not to the extent of days gone by. Last Saturday I…

It’s True Wherever You Find Love, It Feels Like Christmas
Can you believe that Christmas is over already for another year?! No.. neither can I! All that preparation and stress and it’s over in a blink. I would go back and do the whole of December again if I could. The build up was so enjoyable this year. Little Miss was at a wonderful age where she understood exactly what was going on and Christmas morning was my favourite time this year. I didn’t mind at all it being just the two of us. In fact, it made it all the more perfect. Little Miss was spoiled rotten by everyone who knows us and my friends clearly proved them know…

Another Public Service Announcement of Sorts
Evening & a very merry six sleeps until Christmas to all my readers! As you can see above I’ve decided to take a small hiatus from blogging. This is not a blogging black out, there will be sporadic life related posts over the festive period but I will not be actively around from tonight until into the New Year. I do not feel like I should apologise for this. After having the worst year of my life I want to dedicate this period to spending time with my family and friends. Those who have helped me carry on this year when I’ve felt I could not. After the last two…

#ChristmasJumperDay 2013
If you’re not feeling remotely festive yet, I’d probably question your mentality slightly. This is my second Christmas as a mother though and I can no longer remember what it’s like to work right through December and not have Santa on the TV screen from the 1st November. Not that I mind. I’ve always enjoyed Christmas up until three years ago.. then I was ill.. followed by being pregnant and living with the worst person in the world and then last year, single mother with an under one year old.. HOWEVER, finally I feel like I’m getting back into my past festive ways. Tree up on the 25th November, Christmas…

Insta-Month November
The highlights were… Spending time with friends, I had one friend to stay with me Monday – Thursday at the start of the month, we had a lovely day in Newcastle with Little Miss. Then I met another couple of friends who were visiting from Canada, we had a great day in York and Little Miss was so well behaved even if it was insanely exhausting. Seeing Catching Fire with my sister, it was such a nice treat as neither of us get to go to the cinema much. Spending the day with my Dad, sister and nephew while my mum went on the drink in Edinburgh with her friends.…
