Today is the last day of August and Little Miss and I are off on our final adventure before she starts primary school next week. I can’t wait to share it on the blog with you as it’s a big one. That is summer pretty much over now. August has felt both long and short. I went 20 days without seeing my boyfriend right down the middle of the month which was hard. I have als been struggling with the anxiety about Little Miss starting school. The weather however has been beautiful, lots of days in the garden, barbecues and days on the beach. We also fit in seeing Finding…

Yay, July is just about over. I really did not get on well mentally with July as I wanted, with having 5 weekends and not spending as much time with my boyfriend as I had in May & June I really struggled with feeling lonely, anxiety and paranoia. I saw him the first weekend and as this post goes live I’ll be in the Peak District celebrating his birthday with a weekend break together. I just may be in the private hot tub. I got so used to seeing him all the time that it was a definite shock to the system this month. But hopefully June will be better.…

Okay, so June wasn’t as much fun as May, but I did manage to not get dumped which is a success in itself and my boyfriend spent a total of 20 days at my house as well as me spending a further 3 days at his. We don’t get to spend as much time together in July sadly as I have a friend coming to stay for a week but I will be at his for two weekends out of the 5 that July has. It’s his birthday on the 30th and I’m looking forward to seeing him for that. Anyway, I’m on a tangent. I was supposed to spend…

If you’ve been someone who has followed my blog since the beginning you know that every May I fall apart. It serves as a reminder of the darkest time of my life, when I nearly imploded and eventually escaped my abusive relationship. I still remember the events leading up to the 27th May 2012, I still have nightmares about the night of the 26th. Usually I’m a bigger basket case than on a regular day.. normally I take double my meds just to get through each day. However I haven’t been medicated since November of last year, and for the first May in four years, I’ve happy. May 2016 has…

I skipped doing a Looking Back on post for March because a) I hardly had any posts to share and b) I knew I wanted to write about aspects of our trip in my own time. So here we are looking back on April 2016. April wasn’t a great month for me. We arrived back in England on the morning of the 4th April and for two weeks after that everything just felt very flat and empty. I cried a lot, it was freezing cold and Little Miss didn’t want to sleep in her room alone. But things gradually started to improve and I’m actually looking forward to May! I…

I think is the first time I’ve ever said that February felt as long as January.. well except the few days we spent at Bee’s and celebrated my unbirthday and the few days I spent in Disneyland Paris.. the rest of the time has dragged but I only know it’s because I’ve been so excited for March! March, the month I spend the majority of time out of the country.. of course I’m excited and it’s finally here! One week today and we’ll be on our way to Florida for 4 glorious weeks! But anyway, back to February.. following on from Looking Back on January post from last month, here…
