Cosy Catch Up #2

Hey Earth bugs,

This is a bit of an oddly timed post as I had written half of it in the week then didn't finish it off in time and now we're here. Last weekend it was snowing and horrible weather and today it is lovely and has put me in a very good mood because I am currently sat on my bedroom floor, it's quarter to 7 in the evening, it's still daylight and the birdies are all cheeping outside my bedroom window. The one good thing the snow last week was that Jack and myself went to the cinema to see The Greatest Showman, I am obsessed, it is amazing, I love it. It's such a feel good film and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. The songs are all brilliant as well, and I have listened to the soundtrack all week so now I have that little obsession out of the way I can continue with the post. 

I decided I'd do a bit of a catch up for this weeks post, I have so many posts planned out and ready to post but a few of them have to be posted on a specific date and others require me to do things that fit in with them before they can be posted and I finish uni soon for the summer so be prepared for some content that is a little more than me just rambling about anything. Speaking of finishing uni for the summer, I think that's a little mad. In my head I started about a month ago but no, here I am first year nearly done. Does this mean I'm growing up? I asked that when I finished my GCSE's, the answer was a little. But then I had sixth form to go to so it didn't really matter that much. I asked it when I finished year 12, there was year 13 to do and let's be honest, was I really growing up when I still had to ask to go to the toilet? At the end of year 13 I didn't ask that question because I was too busy asking the "I have no plan B, what am I going to do if I don't get into uni?"/reflecting on the many breakdowns I had towards the end of A Levels. It was not a pretty sight. But now I actually have to think about what placement I want to do next year which will help me in the long run... the long run is something that gets mentioned frequently right now as it's everything that will help me in the future to get a good job because psychology is pretty competitive. 

Uni may have taken over my life currently as I battle through various assignments and deadlines and revising for exams and a constant general "AHHHHHHHH" feeling. But apart from all that, I do have so many thoughts for different projects I can do in terms of craft and helping people and I have so many thoughts racing around my head that I often have to stop and go "okay, okay calm down". I'm sure I'll probably document them all eventually on this little internet space, but until them I'm trying to remember to write them down and really just remember them. 

The past few days have been very odd and a lot has happened, I'm not going to go into that as it is something away from the blog. But I did have a lovely evening yesterday as I visited some of those people that have been in your life that long and made such an impact that they're practically family, as it was a little human's birthday and we had take away, ate cake, and all sang along to the Greatest Showman (running theme) and it made me very happy. It helped me to remember that it doesn't matter what you have in life, as long as you have good people in it. I definitely do. Today was also good as I dragged Jack into town, and made him walk it as I now have a Fitbit and have reached my daily goal of 8000 for 5 days in a row and didn't want to lose my little streak that I have going. We walked around the artisan market and I bought a lovely necklace and some starfish earrings that are equally beautiful. I could've bought a lot more but managed to stop myself. As there was lovely weather we also bought an ice cream whilst walking to my grandparents for a quick visit. Overall, I've had a lovely couple of days (minus the whole working all day Saturday). 

I'm also putting this out there that when I have finished uni I am going to aim to try and be a bit more active on social media sites for my blog, I always say this and never find time so fingers crossed! This was more a warning that if you follow my blog account on any social media site then I am terribly sorry that my face will appear a lot more. 

A short and sweet post today but I hope you all have a lovely week and enjoy the lighter evenings! 

Until next week,

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...

Doris goes to see Captain Marvel | FILM REVIEW

Hello dearies!  I hear the new film that's 'hot on the block' recently is this Captain Marvel one, and little old Doris does like to be hip, trendy and down with the kids *throws the equivalent of a swagger sign* so decided to hop on the bandwagon and go along, booking myself in for the 12.00 (pm just to clarify) showing at the local cinema. I'm currently cutting down on the whole chocolate/cake/biscuits scene, so sneaked a small tub of Pringles into the cinema with me...I have to say, I felt like a bit of a rebel eating food that I'd bought from somewhere else whilst inside the cinema, it was an adrenaline rush! If you're wondering what flavour Pringles they were, I obviously chose the best ones aka sour cream and onion as I'm not some sort of monster.  Anyway, I did buy one of those Tango Ice thingymabobs as I hear that's too what the cool kids like to have at the cinema. I could only have cherry though as the machine wasn't working properly, t...
