My thoughts for 2016

So we're nearly at the end of January, how has the start to your year gone?

I'm so rubbish!

Hey guys,  I'm so rubbish. I just can't quite get on top of things hence not getting blog posts up. I really want to but annoying things like university, work and life keep getting in the way. Well, they're not really annoying things they're all rather important things. Every now and again I think I should give up the blog but can't bring myself to do it and although I'm not entirely sure how many people read it, may be no one?or just a few friends, who knows? 

I survived! Reflections of my first A to Z challenge

Well hello again people! I have had over a week off from blogging after the hectic month of April and participating in the blogging from A to Z April challenge   I can proudly say I survived it.  I have to say there were a couple of touch and go moments where I thought I might just have to give it all up but I couldn't, I had to make sure I stuck with it to the bitter end.

Blogging from A to Z, Z is for zoomania...

Few!!!!! *lets out a humongous sigh as wipes brow*

So we've made it to the last day of the blogging from A to Z April challenge.  As fun as it has been I'm kind of glad it's all over as it's quite a task writing posts for everyday with all the other boring responsibilities of life, working full time, housework (this may have slipped a little in the past month) and Maid of Honor duties of organizing Hen nights. 

Blogging from A to Z, V is for vocation

vo·ca·tion  

/vōˈkāSHən/

Noun A strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation. A person's employment or main occupation, esp. regarded as particularly worthy and requiring great dedication.

Synonyms calling - profession - occupation - trade - metier

Blogging from A to Z, S is for Staffey, sweet shop and stationery love.

I am loving all the reminiscing I have been doing through the A to Z challenge and today is the letter S and I have 2 particular memories I want to share with you.

Blogging from A to Z, N is for Nan and nick names

*Quick not before we kick into today's post I have had a busy couple of days at work and to add to it sorting out the last details for my friends Hen do on Saturday, so it's been all go go go.  Hence I have been slack with my post reading.  But I will get on it now, I promise.*

N is for Nan.  I have many wonderful memories of my Nan as do all of her grandchildren.  She was the sort of nan that always saw good in you.  I think you could of robbed a bank and she would defend you, saying 'ah leave the poor love alone'.  She was a funny little soul.

Blogging from A to z, M is for Mother

We're on to week 3 of the A to Z challenge. How is everyone finding it?  It definitely is a challenge eh!

Well today, M is for Mother.  Not everyone is blessed with a wonderful Mother but I have been and I will be eternally grateful for that.  Mother's are precious things and we should always treasure them.  I have the most wonderful Mum.  Yes she drives me mad at times, as her I'm sure especially when I was younger, but she is the best mother I could ever wish for.  She will do anything for me and both my parents have always been 100% supportive.  It's got to be said she has always spoilt me.  I've never acted like a spoilt brat (least I don't think so) but I have definitely been spoilt at times.  Not through lots of material things although I've never really gone with out. More for the things my Mum (and Dad) have done and do for me.  My parents live with us and even now she spoils me with the things she does, if she thinks I am tired or warn out, or when my Multiple Sclerosis (MS) plays up (thankfully not much at all since starting my medication), she is there in an instant to help.  She would sacrifice anything for me, so I could be happy.  MS, another word for M.  As an innocent little girl, I would never have never expected to grow up and be diagnosed with a chronic disease!

Here's a picture from our wedding of my lovely Mum:

E is for escaping...

Blogging from A to Z April Challenge 2013

I've ummed and ahhed, had a few panics but the wheels are now in motion, I'm going for it! (I suppose it would have been a little late in the day to pull out since the A to Z  blogging challenge starts on Monday!)
