On Why I Really Hate January
Although this morning I have a lot of emails to reply to from the past few days, I didn’t feel like doing them because my head is all overt he place. So instead I’m giving you one of those rambly posts in hope that if I write things down I’ll start to feel better. January always seems to be the time when my mental well being is shot, I explored my insomnia a few years back, and to this date, it’s still worse than ever during this month. I hate January. I haven’t always hated January, just since my mental health has been in decline post-domestic abuse. I’ve mentioned in…

5 UK Cities I Want to Visit in 2016*
Just because I like to travel abroad, doesn’t mean I’m any less interested in visiting places in my home country but with the rising cost of train fares (and the rubbish service they offer), if I don’t decide to go 3 months in advance, it ends up being cheaper to go abroad! However, with my love of conventions, I’m hoping this will encourage me to visit different places rather than the same over and over again. Not only that but there are some great places where you can book a UK city break for a great price, like Great Little Breaks, this would be a great way to take the…

Best Places for Shopping Second Hand*
One of my big thing for 2016 is to focus on where my money is going and what I’m spending it on, I outlined this in my 2016 Resolutions and Goals. One of the things I want to do more to bring my spending down is buy second hand. Clothes, books and even toys for Little Miss. Not only am I giving unwanted things a new home, but they’re usually a lot cheaper than buying new. The one I am really going to focus on is clothes. There are so many places that you can pick up fab second hand pieces. I am always tempted by pretty new in stores…

5 Adult Things I’m Not Ready For*
In March I turn 28. Yes.. 28. Two years from 30. And guess what? I still do not feel like an adult. How I’ve managed not only to keep myself alive, but a small child and a cat, I’ll never know. Some days I still sit around in my pjs, I basically live on supernoodles and coffee (yet my kid has five fruits a day and is a model child in looks and behaviour haha). When it comes to “adulting” I bury my head in the sand and leave everything to the last minute. My hobby includes dressing up and going to conventions. And of course lets not mention I…

2016 Home Improvement Plans*
The start of the year is definitely a time to make some plans for the next year. I’ve already set my blogging goals and my life goals, so I thought I’d do a post about my home improvement goals over the year. Last year I managed to decorate my hall and that was about it, despite saying I was going to tackle my kitchen and my bathroom. However this year I’m going to make sure I actually do some home improvement, especially since I have a cupboard full of cans of paint.. it’s just such hard work on my own. Oh well. So anyway, here’s what I am planning on…

Disneyland Paris – Disney Magic on Parade
Back in October I headed off to Disneyland Paris with Little Miss, Kariss and Hayley. It’s something we’d had planned for a while and I was looking forward to it. Although it was hard at times as we struggled to find Peter Pan and that was just something LM couldn’t deal with. It was also cold and It’s a Small World along with a few other rides that LM enjoys were closed. But we made the best of it and it ended up being quite a lot of fun. Aside from the beautiful castle, one of our absolute favourite things about Disneyland Paris is the 5pm parade. The music is…
