Things I have learnt this weekend...

Sunday 21st February 2016

“Angry people are not always wise.”- Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Things I have learnt this weekend in no particular order...

A bit of pampering will do the soul some good! Eyebrows, hair and nails can make such a difference! 

You don't need to drastically go blonde to feel and look different, you can just be the best version of yourself that you can.

My mum is so supportive she's willing to have empty photo frames on her walls! Theres nothing like a mothers love x

My dad can cook a mean bacon butty! And my brothers are just totally the loveliest guys! Even if Jamie and I suffer from second child syndrome which means poor Pops gets picked on for his one finger texting "skills" ! 

My sister and I have never been close but she loves me.

My nephews are wise beyond their years despite Tommys bogey eating! 

Jennifer Kyle and I have done alright for ourselves "considering" Lol...  Perhaps a few more classes at school wouldn't have hurt us! 

Time and distance mean nothing when you're bonded by history and love.

Walking in the Yorkshire air with one of your best friends is the best medicine for a broken heart.

Packing light is sensible but not when you decide to go walking in the mud.

When you don't eat properly your boobs shrink so the dress you wanted to wear was too big! Always sensible to bring a back up! 

How to peel a butternut squash.

Lalas Indian restaurant is massive inside and the curry tastes different when you're stone cold sober! 

Drinking 6 bottles of Prosecco before you go out for cocktails might not be the smartest move! 

Paula Knowles will always keep you busy and checked in on.  She'll find ways to be cheerful and look after you even after a skinfull!

Nicola Goodlad will take forever to get ready and is always up for singing the "oooooh eeeee" bits on the karaoke!

Rebecca Hague will down shots of Jack Daniels dipping sauce like they were tequila before spray tanning her legs in a car park in high winds!

Lyndsey Hepworth can give hugs, but don't tell everyone! They'll all want one!

Amy Berry after enough Prosecco will let you paint her face like an extra from Towie! Nice glow today Mrs Berry!

Drunken social media is never a good idea and should be avoided from this moment on...

My friends are so supportive that we can fall out massively and fix it in ten minutes x

Channel 4 has an odd sense of humour.

Everyone is fighting their own personal battles over jobs, kids, relationships, illnesses etc. 

I have learnt that life's goes on. 

Nothing stops the time ticking away, and every moment counts.

I am strong and decisive and I won't be defined by what has happened to me!

This is just the end of a chapter of my life.  A chance for a blank canvas to draw what I want and it will be glorious technicolour once the grey skies fade.
