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

Celebrate The Wins
Yesterday I managed to catch up with one of my favourite podcasts as I was a few days behind. In Fridays episode Gemma talked about pulling up the floor in her kitchen. She'd hoped to find a perfect original floor. But discovered that what was underneath was a mish mash of original terracotta tiles and… Continue reading Celebrate The Wins
Gently Does It
Another hectic weekend, but also a productive one. I now have another 5 black sacks and 2 large boxes ready to go to a charity shop. I'm finding this whole downsizing thing hard, bloody hard and I havent even started on the loft *gulps* I've figured out that I need to go through an area… Continue reading Gently Does It
Being Grateful
I discovered a new podcast recently...The Law Of Attraction Changed My Life with Francesca Amber, which I am absolutely loving! I think the main reason I love it is because she's so down to earth. Most podcasts are American (which isn't a problem...but...), so to find one that is done by a "Lunden gell" (as… Continue reading Being Grateful
Putting Things Off
My Nan always used to say "Don't put something off til tomorrow, if you can do it today." She was big on sayings...I just used to roll my eyes lol. Yesterday I opened the first of my two "china" cabinets and stared at the contents. The plan was to pack up all the stuff I… Continue reading Putting Things Off
