Welcome to motherhood bitch!

Ok so this didn’t happen yesterday in fact my little boy was born back in December 2018 but it’s about took this long for me to decide to blog about life as a new mum.

So anyone who knows anything about me would say I’m not the most organised of people in fact I’m quite the opposite. Only last week someone walked in my office and said “oh wow what a mess!” I took great offence as that’s the tidiest it’s been in 5 years.

...but I digress... so a little more about me and my family.
- I am an older mum
-I am a working mum
-I am a carer
-I am struggling financially
-I am not alone!

And I mean the last one as both a positive and negative as in I know there are many people in the same position as me and some worse off and I also mean that I have support which has been crucial to keeping me and baby ALIVE!

The purpose of this blog has always been the musings of my life but now I’m going to be blogging about how this whole motherhood thing works!!

One month in...

Dear Father,

It has been nearly two weeks since my last blog post...

I thought today I'd write a  bit about breaking old habits and starting new ones. I remember once reading somewhere that it takes 28 days to create a new habit. So I can see how it can be so easy to fall at the first hurdle. 

If like me your New Years resolution was to do more of something like go to the gym, eat better etc, and your not doing it every day, then how long will it take to form a new routine and change for the future?

I'm just glad i've never been a smoker or drinker!

Feel free to input any advice of breaking habits, I'm curious myself as to what works for other people.

Pepsi V Coke

WARNING RANT POST COMING....

So I ordered a Chinese Friday and it said spend £15 get either prawn crackers or coke, now usually the dog eats the prawn crackers so I thought, you know what? I fancy a can of coke!!

But what did I get when I picked it up?!?! PEPSI!!!! Noooooooo!!

See I could understand if the menu said COLA as Pepsi cola and coca cola well they both have cola in the name but I was so disappointing :(

The other question is why are there people (like me) who will ONLY drink one? its not just a taste choice I hate Pepsi with a passion and will only drink it in pubs when its diluted badly on the pump.

Here's something for other folk to rant about #firstworldproblems

Welcome to me

Hello my name is Chuck!

I'm at 31yr old married woman from a small town called Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I live with my husband Mac and dog Rogue.

Not fascinated yet...?

...well I decided I needed to do this blog because its time to make some changes!!

In 2003 I thought my life was sorted I finished University, I was going to be a psychologist, I got married and then reality happened. How? What do I do to achieve it? and that's where everything got messy. 

It's over 10 years now since those tough decisions, I've made some bad choices and took a long time to feel my life had meaning...

...BUT I'm here! it's 2014 and I'm going to make a change!!

I thought about Blogging so here goes this is what you can expect.

1) Lots of crap about where I have come from 

         (I've 10 years worth of material!)

2) How I'm going to change my life this year.

3) The day to day musings of life.

Now I best go get living!!!
