Ok so I've deleted my original post from today as it was self loathing and silly. I will carry on my blog and of some one reads it then that's a bonus. Because its just nice to write. I'm not going to become a blogger maniac because that's not me. I'll tell you about stuff I've done and do silly posts and that's it. That's me.
I'm pretty simple (not minded). I know what I like and what I don't like. I'm not looking for a massive amount of followers. I find it difficult enough keeping up with family! If you happen to like the same stuff as me or find it interesting then yay! But otherwise, I'm just going to do this for fun instead of feeling like it has to be read.
This isn't todays official post , that will come tomorrow. This post is just to confirm I will carry on my blog. Sorry about my rather dramatic exit but I was only outside for a while haha.
So hope you carry on reading whoever you are and there will be a post later about my T42 I'm having with my mummy later :).
Take it easy.

So you want to write a story...
Well woopdy doo. (Hercules reference)
I know its late but here I am writing a short blog ... For all you fans *crickets*
So I've always had 2 ambitions in life. One from when I was a tiny person and one which came as I tried lots of different jobs and realised what I loved. I figured at this point I've still got my life ahead of me, yes I have a child and am married but whoever said life stops when you have a child was a liar. If anyone had actually said that in fact! I don't know.
Anyway, my first ambition, I couldn't even say properly as a child, is to be a writer... Of books. An Author if you please... I called it an Arthur when I was younger.
Not the best start I admit. But my main inspiration behind this ambition was my grandad, he was a librarian and his love for books made his house a library. I'm not even kidding there were books in every room ... Including the bathroom (riddles to help you poop) and I loved it.
My second inspiration is through my favourite books and in turn my favourite authors, J.K.Rowling, Derek Landy, Oscar Wilde, C.S.Lewis, Lewis Carrol (the list is endless! Even before I could read I would pretend, I loved the smell of the books and the sound they made as the pages turned or when you closed it. I still smell books now.
Not odd at all. But I tried to forget about that idea because I didn't have the confidence in what I wrote. But now... Watch out world I'm coming!
My second ambition which as stated I found out through working in lots of different areas. Is to open my own cafe.
I almost started a few years back but then lots of people did. So I thought instead of opening yet another cafe I would sot back and wait for the others to close first. Sounds harsh but it happens.
A sudden swell of people wanting to do a certain thing because ots trendy, but then you have lots of the same sort of vintage, chic, kitch looking cafes and no one wanting to go to them.
I love what a nice cup of tea or coffee can do for a person or a group. Whether its cold out/ warm out/ hectic day/ boring day etc etc etc having a nice seat and a lovely brew can just make the world melt away.
So yes those are my two ambitions. (I did have a third to become a librarian like my granddad but lets see how I do on the first 2 for now) you never know. You could see my book in a book shop one day or have a lovely drink in my cafe.
Or both.
Take it easy.

Baby!!!
You may or may not have read my first blog! But those who have know I'm a mum, those who haven't..
I'm a mum!
I have a little boy called Jack. He's truly in my totally unbiased and noteworthy opinion the cheekiest little bundle of demonic evilness I have ever laid my eyes on. But I do love him! He's brilliant really, pretty good at being a baby so yeah!
It does open a whole new world of experiences being a mum. Like breastfeeding, getting poo on your face... Furniture... Guests, the amount of nappies you go through!, the crying (oh god the crying), teething, growing out of things every 3 months! (I thought I had weight issues!) and of course the people who know better then you about everything ...and you becoming one of them!
Don't be shy, we've all had it. Especially first time mummys, people will give you their opinions and those first few months of pregnancy you nod politely, say "I know" and they just get frustrated because of course you don't know! You're a first time mum how can you possibly know these things!!!
Truth is... We don't know. Like you said. First time mum, have never experienced any of it. Looking after nieces and nephews isn't the same! Of course it isn't. Buuuuuut... We say "I know" because "shhhhhhhhh!" We will find out and the last thing we need before we have our obvious perfectly perfect bundle is to hear how they will make our lives hell. We have been use to naps, doing what we want, having a bath for an hour... Just because we can! Smoking, drinking! Yeah too right. Staying up until... Whenever the hell we want to! Because we could.
Then we decided to have a baby! Smoking = Nope, Drinking = Nope, Naps = nap when they nap = Nope!, Staying up... Well yeah but not by choice! This time we're up because your obvious perfectly perfect bundle is hungry again or has filled their nappy again or just wants a nice snuggle with mummy again!
But through all the Nopes and Agains. We are learning. Yes its bloody difficult, yeah my boobs contain for fluid then a river (it feels like it) and yes the sleep deprivation made me anxious. I'll tell you a secret, its totally worth it.
Thank you captain obvious.
You're welcome!
It may seem obvious but when you're going through it, you can just hear those opinionated buggers in your brain singing "I told you so, I told you so!" Really badly... And its right next to the go compare guy singing all your doubts (is he getting enough milk, is that a rash, is he tongue tied, is that mole normal, is that poo normal, does he loves me, am I doing this right, why won't he stop crying, hes obviously broken, I'm obviously broken). Whilst the some other irritating berk is telling you that everything you do will kill your child.
Let me tell you now, it does get easier, it is of course worth it and as long as you follow certain guidelines, you will not kill your baby. I breastfeed Jack and at near 10 months I'm very lucky to get this far! But I hate women being berated for how they feed their child! Whether formula or breastfed, as long as they're fed and happy then you are doing it right!
I won't get in to this too much otherwise, it'll be a book!
I will just finish off with this. Its amazing. You grew that demonic child. You did it. You made a heart. A brain. Lungs!! EYEBALLS!!! You created life and that's amazing! And now you get to help that tiny slice of satan grow, to learn! I love Jack with the fiercest love, a scary love that nothing could ever break! So enjoy, enjoy feeding them, playing with them. They will reach milestones, at their own pace! They will teach you as well, patience, true love and how to change a nappy in under 30 seconds (though 25 seconds was my fastest). It does go fast!
Take it easy.
