Yesterday I managed to get an hour and a half of time alone (well, alone as I'll ever be with 3 Pugs and a cat who howls at me when he wants something!). So what did I do? My #teamtomm Level 2's lol. Yeah, I know...but I also managed to put my feet up and… Continue reading Me Time

Trial & Error
I'm on day 17 of being ill. Nothing new there then, whenever I get a cold it takes me weeks to recover (thanks to my dodgy immune system). Been Googling how to home treat a cough...and keep coming across the same advice..."get plenty of rest"...ha bloody ha! My house is a bit chaotic at the… Continue reading Trial & Error
When Being Negative Is A Good Thing
I've been proppa poorly since last Saturday ☹️ Blocked runny nose, coughing, sore throat, headache, and then on Sunday I lost my sense of taste and smell. I didn't realise that not everyone loses those senses when they get a cold. I just presumed it was the same for all of us. Apparently not lol.… Continue reading When Being Negative Is A Good Thing
Ups & Downs
I think I (we) have had more than our fair share of downs in life. Our family motto is...if it can go wrong, it will...to us lol. Over the years we've had some almost comical bad luck, stupid things that test your resolve and at times its had me thinking that someone up there has… Continue reading Ups & Downs
The Brain Doctor
I read an article the other day which mentioned Dr Faye Begeti, otherwise known as The Brain Doctor. Absolutely love her tips and guidance on subjects like sleep, habits and mental health. There are so many people struggling right now with mental health issues brought on by this pandemic. I feel incredibly thankful that I… Continue reading The Brain Doctor
Making Mistakes
It's been snowing on and off, since Sunday here in Kent. We haven't had it this bad for years, and it's the first time its been ankle deep since we moved to this house 5 years ago. I'm not a fan of the snow I have to say. It makes me feel trapped as I… Continue reading Making Mistakes
The Windows To My Soul
I've had problems with my eyes for years. Suffering frequent bouts of conjunctivitis, but also eye dryness and pain. My doctors treated me for a "blocked tear duct" for 15 years and I was finally referred to an Ophthalmologist who diagnosed "ocular migraines" about 8 years ago. But it turns out that all these issues… Continue reading The Windows To My Soul
The Nagging Task
In The Happiness Project, (love that book!) Gretchen Rubin talks about tackling a nagging task and how it can boost your mood when you get it done. Blimey...I have so many of these that I don't even know where to start lol. But hey, you just gotta start somewhere with something, right? Late last year… Continue reading The Nagging Task
Bedtime
Yesterday was a hectic day, so I didn't sit down and chill until about 9pm, and by then I was knackered and looking forward to my bed. We have a super king size...7 foot by 6 foot. I bought the frame for 150 quid on eBay back in 2016 because the owner had moved into… Continue reading Bedtime
As Light As A Feather
Ok, perhaps not quite like a feather...but I'm getting there lol It's been a rough week...I can't begin to tell you how many hours I've spent on Right Move, looking for a rental property to move into. It's been so stressful and mentally exhausting. So yesterday (after much soul searching and debate) we decided to… Continue reading As Light As A Feather
