This week

Hello there!
I knooow its been over a week. But we had Jacks birthday, then Jacks birthday party, then Jack was tested for allergies and I was ill. I really only have time to do this because Jack has fallen asleep on me, so I can't move, so everything has to wait apart from my blog.


I've pretty much told you what's happened this week. So I'm going to ramble. I was suppose to do my gothic tag, as I used to be a 'goth'. I suppose I should use the term loosely as everyone's perception of Goth is completely different and I'm not getting into that debate. I liked a certain style of clothing, music, decor etc so in my mind that was Goth. I will do it soon, possibly when Scotts off I we're not ridiculously busy. So that will be soonish.


Last night and this morning I've been watching 'One Born Every Minute'. Its making me remember everything I went through when i was in hospital about to have Jack and everything that followed. It does make me nostalgic and I well up thinking of it all! Another part of me gets broody, I cannot wait to give Jack a little brother or sister. But I will wait as I want to put all my attention on Jack and I have got a set of requirements before having another one, such as i want Jack to be potty trained and in nursery or reception. I want Jack to be old enough to kind of comprehend that he will have a brother or sister.
Basically I'm bloody picky but want a baby!
I'm going to stop blabbering now as think I've done enough and Jack will probably wake up soon!


so yes hopefully new blog post soon. Stay tuned!!

Once a week..

Hello my lovelies!


I'm guessing you have gathered from the title what I'm basically trying to say is that until further notice I will only be doing a blog post once a week. Unfortunately it is just how it is until I've got a routine properly in place as Scott is back at work and I'm trying to do everything at once!


I've started my healthy living. Which has included a change of diet (not some fad diet. I mean a full on life changing diet that I have to live with forever), daily exercise and some gentle detox. Plus looking after my body in the sense of moisturising and such. Its actually taking a lot more to make these changes as its an all at once change which can obviously be daunting to anyone but when you have to work it round cleaning, baby time and such the temptation to just eat bad stuff cause its easier is very tempting indeed.


But I am being good. I'm making meals from scratch instead of take aways or ready meals. This not only benefits myself but it benefits Jack and Scott as they get a healthier diet as well. Scotts in no way out of shape or anything but he doesn't eat healthy either so its a lifestyle change. I have porridge in the morning with blueberries and strawberries mixed in. Lunch I have a toasted sandwich or jacket potato/ new potatoes with some kind of topping and a hunk of veg/salad and for dinner I have my home made soup, which I make with all veg, no potatoes. No cream.


So that's started. Plus I'm trying to go for walks everyday, I didn't today but that was mainly because I did a load of house work and I feel I have worked my butt off and got sweaty so that's pretty good exercise and I haven't even finished yet, still need to hoover and mop the floors! Plus make soup! Gah I need to write a list.


This isn't a proper blog post, I'm going to do one tomorrow! I just really wanted to tidy up today and get the flat all sparkly so I can relax for a bit tomorrow and do the blog post properly. This is a 'Jacks asleep and I've put my feet up for a little while" post. Plus to tell you why I'm going to once a week as of tomorrow.


I still love doing my blog and like I say, once I've sorted my daily routine out then I can fit in a couple more posts during the week. Maybe when Jacks asleep and I've set up my laptop in the bedroom!


So yeah! Wish me luck everyone. Tomorrows post will be about my love for all things Goth! Plus how I use to do my Goth make up and why I toned it down :)


Keep an eye out lovelies!


Take it easy.

OH MY WORD!!!

As the title suggests! I have been so busy I have not had 5 minutes to myself. Usually if I don't have time during the day then I will do it once Jacks asleep but as soon as I put him to bed, I've been asleep as well!

The reason?

Scotts back at work, where before he would play with Jack and I would get a few minutes to do my blog or whatever I wanted to do, now he leaves at 9 in the morning and doesn't get back until 6 at night. So my days of consisted of playing, cleaning, cooking and all the fun stuff and by the time Scott gets in the place still looks a pig sty and I'm too tired to function!

That is why I haven't ...hang on I need to change Jacks nappy.

Ok I'm back!

That is why I haven't been able to do my blog, but today I decided I would make a concentrated effort to do it! As tomorrow Jack is going to be 1! Where has that time gone? I'll tell you. Feeding, crying, sleeping, crying, pooping whilst crying, feeding, playing, playing, feeding, playing, crying, feeding, giggling, smiling, falling down, falling up, crying, laughing, feeding!

Its been amazing and exhausting. Mostly amazing but the exhaustion was still there! He is so amazing and everyday I have watched his cheeky personality grow. He loves his mummy and daddy. I get snotty dribbling kisses every night and every morning.

I'm sorry this will be a short and sweet post as I have washing up to do and Jacks cakes and... JACK NOT THE BIN PLEASE!... have to sort the clothing out as well... I think Jacks destroyed some thing. Cool.

Take it eas... JACK!...easy!
