About Me

I am an opinionated woman in her thirties, and this is my place to talk about my life and my opinions on things I see going on around me.

I work full time, and I split my spare time between looking after my dog (mostly walks and cuddles) and trying to write a book.

Like many, I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember and I am currently trying to shift some of my extra weight and get healthy.

I hope that you enjoy my blog

Making Time

I have been feeling rather stressed with everything that has been going on over the last few days. I always have a busy life so it is not the fact that I have a lot of things that need doing which is getting to me. It is the stress, things have changed so much recently and I have been letting it effect me more than is healthy.  Today I had a day off, normally I try to make sure that my days off are spent as productively as possible so that I can get things done and feel as though I have made the most of me time. However today was different, I needed to take the time for myself to relax and unwind. As a result I hardly got anything done, I relaxed and spent time with my dog and my partner.  Now I am feeling much better. I have spent the last few weeks unable to concentrate on things and being very unproductive but taking a bit of time away where I didn't stress myself out about how productive I was being has made m...

I don't complain enough

If there is one thing which has been consistent for all of my life it is probably that is struggle to stick up for myself even when I know that something is not right. This means that I have spent a lot of my life getting picked on of taken advantage of. This is compounded by the fact that I don't like feeling as though I am letting someone down and I enjoy helping others. At school this took the form of bullying and it was very obvious but now I am in the world of work things are a lot more subtle but never the less they are still there. This is so subtle that at first it isn't easy to notice, if fact it is only be comparing the way that you are treated against others that you realise that there is something wrong. Over the years it has become increasingly clear to me that there are a lot of times when I get put into situations which others in my position would not but put into because they think that I am not going to make a fuss about it of stick up for myself. For the mos...

Lockdown Blues

In the UK we have been in lockdown for a few weeks now and it is starting to feel a lot more normal now. This means that some parts of this are starting to feel a bit easier, like working from home all of the time and not having to worry about what I am wearing at all (I am pretty much living in yoga pants and t-shirts). However there are other parts of this that I am still finding difficult. It is hard not being able to catch up with my family in person. I am not really that fussed about seeing lots of people all of the time but it is nice seeing my family every week or so and I am missing that side of things. The second thing that I am struggling is not being able to go for a walk more than once a day. I living on the outskirts of my city because I enjoy getting out into nature for walks and even more so when I am stressed about something. This means that being stuck in the house most of the day is quite difficult for me. I am lucky to have access to a small garden (I know that t...
