I cant believe its already been 3 weeks since my last post. I have started writing this so many times but something always seemed to get in the way. So here I am, in my lunchbreak making time to share with you everything thats been happening. I am IN LOVE with my new home.… FromContinue reading “There’s no place like Home”

A week today I get the keys to my new home, in a new town, with a new set of challenges. A week today my life starts over. I’m not pressing reset, but I am doing something new, exciting and only a little bit scary. A week today I move into an apartment that wasContinue reading “A week today”

As anyone that follows me on social media will be fully aware it was my birthday yesterday 🙂 Its safe to say that unlike my 30th and 40th birthdays I had actually been dreading turning 50. But as I enter the 2nd half of my 100 years (hopefully) I needn’t have worried. I slipped elegantlyContinue reading “Yesterday I turned 50”

This Week I have laughed more than I have in years. This Week I have had fun!! This Week Ive felt like me!! So whats changed? I’ve finally confirmed that my new home is happening.

I’m sitting here in my Mum’s living room, reeling from a particularly uninspiring end to the fabulous latest series of Line of Duty, whilst contemplating my next move. I realise that, in my mind at least, the relationship I had relied on for so long with my ex is over. I know that I needContinue reading “Trying to move on…”

It’s strange to be saying that at almost 50 I have moved back to stay with my Mum. But here I am – a fully functioning adult, with a 2 bedroom house, multiple vehicles and dogs – hiding out in my mums spare bedroom in the village I went to school in. Its been amazingContinue reading “Living at my Mum’s”
