Blog Every Day In May | Playing Catchup

Well, I think we can safely say that I have not really captured the essence of blogging every day in May. Due to a mix of internet issues, a busy working schedule the past week plus Steve being at work all week, I’ve barely had time to think let alone blog! But in this post, I aim to give you some little snippets on the topics which I missed.

Life’s A Lesson

I don’t really think that I have learnt many lessons in my life – except that often those people that claim they will always be there for you won’t be – and that’s ok. If you don’t mourn losing them from your life, then they never deserved to be there in the first place.

Pampering

I could go on and on about pampering until the cows come home, after all beauty posts do feature quite a bit on this blog! What I love doing most is putting Jack to bed and jumping into a nice, hot bubble bath with a facemask on with either a paperback or my Kindle for company. Bliss! I’ve actually run out of bubble bath right now – shock horror- and I can’t buy anymore until my spending ban is over. Oh, the pain!

Walk To Work

I don’t really walk to work; I work in the next town over which is far too much to walk so I generally get the bus (or a lift if Steve is on nights/off). I have tried to walk it once when the bus broke down. It was not my best decision.

It was bitterly cold that day! Luckily, our supervisor came and picked us up!

Best Friends

I’m not going to talk too much about this subject as I think I put it best in this post here.

Favourite Tradition

I don’t really indulge in many traditions, to be quite honest. I used to have loads when I was little but they have all disappeared as I have grown up. I suppose I did indulge in one this weekend – for the 3rd year running, my friend came round for Eurovision with alcohol – and we did appallingly again! Haha!

Newsflash

This story. Such lovely pictures but such heartbreaking tales behind them. I cannot even truly explain how I felt when I read this article earlier on today. It truly is heartbreaking. As both a mother and someone whose family has been ravaged by cancer and other terminal illnesses (and still is), I only hope that the surviving people in each photo takes some sort of comfort from these  pictures of them and their loved ones.
