My Hectic Week!!

Hi peeps!! 

How are we all today? Today's it's Friday 5th May 2017 and I'm having a much needed day in at home. This post is more of an update/catch up with what's been happening in my life so it's up to you if you want to keep reading. There will be a few awesome photos on here too which will break up the writing 😊 
Last weekend which was bank holiday and it was quite hectic for me. On the Friday; I went to town and did a bit of retail therapy. My mum brought me this lovely but fun Bardot dress with little Pom poms on it. 
 
I wore this for the Remembering Fred show. It's from the kids section in River Island. 
On the Saturday; I spent most of the day getting ready as I was going to The Forum for the Ultimate 90s night feat 5ive. 5ive were brilliant! They had so much energy and they certainly knew how to get the crowd going. The only thing I wish that was different is that they were on stage longer as it went too fast. 
 
They performed their biggest hits such as Keep On Movin, Everybody Get Up and so on. They weren't doing a meet & greet so I wanted to meet them outside which thankfully my friend and cousin let me do. It was worth the cold. 
 
 
On the first photo; there's Scott, Megan, Sue, random stranger, Ritchie, another random stranger and then Sean. This photo is of me and Ritchie who was happy to take a selfie with me. 
The long night did take its toll on me and I seriously had almost zero energy by the time I got home. My problematic shoulder/back issues had started to aggravate me too (as I had dislocated the shoulder the previous Saturday so it was still recovering from it). 
Then on the Sunday; we just went food shopping and I was struggling with my energy levels but was in good spirits. 
On the Monday, my brother in law's lovely mum came with me to go back to The Forum to see the Remembering Fred show. This started Aljaz and Janette from Strictly Come Dancing. Before the show we had the VIP meet & greet with the couple. They were just really lovely and friendly. I didn't realise how tall Aljaz was (he's about the same height as my bro in law) and how dinky Janette was. They let us take a photo with just me and one with me and Debbie which was really good of them. I didn't get the chance to tell them that Pasha had called me a roadie the last time he was here in town! Ha ha! 
 Here's the photo with me; Aljaz and Janette. You can also see my dress more here too. Then afterwards; me and Debbie relaxed in the bar and had a drink and some crisps. We chatted and caught up on life. Then the show started at half seven. Wow there's so much involved; from the live singing, the big band, lots of costumes and lots of dancing. One of my favourite costumes was the black one. As you can tell I love black! They did it like a radio show style with Michael Ball being the voiceover. Aljaz and Janette are amazing dancers; and they deserve all the success they get. I wish them lots of love and happiness in their lives together too. I do hope they come back to The Forum again in the near future. 
On Tuesday; I had a day of rest which is what I needed. Then Wednesday; we had my niece for the day and the kitchen fitters started the work on our kitchen. Also the people who came to do the fencing which made the house a little chaotic. My uncle also popped in and he was being nosy! 
So you can say it's been a hectic week! All good though. I just wish I didn't get so tired so easily but it's down to the EDS. I hope your week has been a positive one. Anyway enough from me for today and I shall see you all soon. Keep smiling!! ❤️ xxx

Child Prodigy

Image
It was just the other day when I came across a documentary by Keith Allen filming James Harries who is now known as Lauren Harries. Does the name ring a bell to you? He was the 80s/90s child prodigy who claimed to know about Antiques. He had thick, curly blonde hair and always wore a dicky bow tie. I'll post a picture of him as a young boy, I'm sure you'll remember him when you see him. Back to the documentary. James is now Lauren after a sex reassignment operation. I actually think she still seems confused and delirious. In fact the whole family are living in a world of fantasy, delirious, disfunctional and delusion. All the way through I kept an open mind, in a way, I kind of felt sorry for them. All those years ago, Mark and Kate must have been really desperate to push their youngest son into the limelight forging a claim that he could do antiquing at such a tender age. I thought it was good that Lauren had counselling during the treatment but when i...

Dating and Disability

Hi peeps!! How are you doing? I hope you're all keeping well and that life is treating you with love and kindness.  As I've been watching ITV2's Love Island and have continually be surrounded by couples whether it's friends, family or even celebrities, it's really made me think about dating.  Everyone makes it seem so easy and I know it's not, but that's how it looks to me. I'm thirty-two and it's been way too long (much longer than I dare to admit here!) since I dated anyone. I feel it's definitely gotten harder for me. In the last four or five years, my health has deteriorated which means I no longer go out on nights out, I don't go to any clubs and there's rarely a chance for me to meet anyone. Although when I used to go out night-clubbing; meeting someone who was heavily intoxicated, really didn't do any favours and it wasn't my preferred way of meeting someone. A few friends have suggested trying out dating apps/site...

Children with Gadgets

Hello everyone, I've been thinking back to a few weeks back when I was having a conversation with somebody. The topic was about kids having technical gadgets like games consoles, kindles, iPads and so on.  Going back to when I was a child, we didn't have all of these. Yes we had an Atari but that was for the whole family and I was in my teens by the time we got it. I had actual children's toys like Lego, Sindy dolls, and other toys. For the days that it rained or was too cold, I'd spend hours playing with these toys and I enjoyed arts. I'd do painting, making things and writing stories.  I liked to play out on the street with the other kids on the street. There were skipping ropes, pogo sticks and that ball with the rope toy etc. It was so much fun and meant we  learnt how to be creative, socialising and getting the exercise needed.  Another thing that kinda annoys me is when parents give their little kids kindles and iPads or even putting a DVD on fo...
