Also <a href="http://www.dreamingofthecountry.com/" target="_blank">Rachel</a> said that she's missed my blogging so I took that as a little request to return.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, since my last blog post you could say quite a lot has happened. Firstly, back in November Jerry got down on that knee of his and proposed! I won't go into too much detail about it here, as I've written about it all on our <a href="http://ytwedding.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">YTWedding blog</a>. So plans for our 2015 wedding are well on the way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we had Christmas, which was pretty simple last year. Most of the family were away on festive vacations, so we decided to simply stay at home together with our new tree, eat food and watch many films. I bought Jerry tickets to see <a href="http://www.ukuleleorchestra.com/" target="_blank">The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain</a> at the Theatre Royal in January. He's sadly always missed them in the past, so I wasn't going to miss out on this awesome gift. And what a great evening it was too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In January I found out that I got on the Fresh Meat roller derby course with the <a href="http://bathrollerderbygirls.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Bath team</a>, which if I'm honest I actually forgot about. I was convinced that I was too late and the whole being on the waiting list would mean I never had a chance. So far it's going brilliantly and I'm loving every minute. More posts to come on that I'm sure. </span></div>

Probably the most crazy one I've had in a long time, and that's after attending Vidcon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Friday - Summer warm-up gig</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Up and out of the flat on the 10:43am train (hoping Doc will be fine for 4 days). Got to London and travelled up to the hotel in Totteridge and Whetstone, check in and then headed down to Alley Pally to help with the set-up. Was completely amazed by the size of the place, beautiful building with a beautiful view. Once we had helped as much as possible we headed down to the O2 Islington for the gig, where we helped scan and tag up some early bird SitC tickets/bands and then enjoyed various acts such as Tom Milson, Dave Giles, BriBry and Weebl. (The customer info sign on the tube was a thing I had to Instagram!)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Saturday and Sunday - Summer in the City</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To sum this up as much as possible, I spent 2.5hours scanning tickets Saturday morning, followed by about 5hours or so on the SitC merchandise stand. Then Sunday consisted of front desk information, taking gifts to the green room, helping with queue organisation and various other duties. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sadly I didn't get a chance to see any of the panels and most of the main stage acts, but I still really enjoyed the weekend and I think the organisers appreciated our help.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was a chance finally relax after the long weekend and see friends away from the YouTube world. Let's just say we had quite a few drinks, but we didn't regret anything. I say that, my arms are aching lots thanks to me thinking it would be good to show off my poor attempt of a chin-up...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago on a VERY hot day, Jerry, Holly, Daniella and myself decided it was about time we had a round of mini golf. In Victoria park, Bath we have this fantastic 18 hole course which is only £4 each. Once we had eaten our ice creams, we got down to business!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work is busy as usual, was happy to see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/creativebloq" target="_blank">Creative Bloq's</a> channel doing pretty well (one of the little editing projects I took on). Along with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/papercrafttv" target="_blank">PapercraftTV</a>, still working on the rest of the videos but I'm happy with how the first two have turned out. Also had some FCPX training, it all makes a lot more sense now, once you get an understanding for the magnetic timeline you can do all sorts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jerry is currently on an internship with the Digital Camera team, helping test lenses and review cameras/products. It's so nice to see his passion back again!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last month I attended a Summer party at the YouTube creator space and got to take Jerry with me. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Off to <a href="http://www.vidcon.com/" target="_blank">Vidcon</a> in a couple of weeks and then flying over to San Francisco to visit our offices there.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Believe it or not, I actually managed to pull myself together, pour out a glass of Rosé and record a video for my channel. I know, shock horror! After watching some of my older videos back, I realised I wanted to be more me, none of this acting up to the camera lark, just me talking to my audience just like I would to a friend (with wine :P).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know I said it in the video, but I'm looking forward to Summer in the City a lot. Not there with work this year, but both Jerry and I are volunteering to help where ever needed. To be honest it's a good thing, not like we will have a lot of people queuing to meet us and most of our friends will probably be busy with that situation themselves haha!

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nan and I were meant to head to Bristol for a massage for us both, of which I bought as a deal on Groupon. Sadly it was cancelled that same morning, but we still went to Bristol anyway. I also introduced her to Falafel in St Nicks market, she approved :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm lucky enough to be heading to LA in a couple of weeks for <a href="http://www.vidcon.com/" target="_blank">Vidcon</a>, that's a YouTube convention if you were wondering. Then after that I'm heading to my works offices in San Francisco, going to try my best to get on a tram somehow! Anywho, I realised I needed (wanted) a couple of items for my journey, here are my bargain finds!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly I needed some new hand luggage, mainly because I need to take my laptop with me. I popped into <a href="http://www.tkmaxx.com/" target="_blank">TK Maxx</a> one day and came across this <a href="http://www.jansport.com/shop/en/jansport-us" target="_blank">Jansport</a> case which happened to have a section for a 15" laptop, along with extra space for other items. Nice handle that zips away and pretty lightweight. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RRP: £138.00, <a href="http://www.tkmaxx.com/" target="_blank">TK Maxx</a> price: £44.99. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next traveling items I wanted to get were a wash bag and a smaller make-up bag. I did originally buy these items from <a href="http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/default.aspx" target="_blank">Cath Kidston</a>, but then returned them due to discovering these more colourful ones in <a href="http://www.paperchase.co.uk/page/home/" target="_blank">Paperchase</a>. Yes, the make-up bag is technically a pencil case, but that's okay, I've got a small make-up bag with pockets :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wash bag: £9.00</span></div>

I also managed to get this purse in the sale too, I was getting a little frustrated with the <a href="http://absolute-twoddle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/bag-and-purse-delights.html" target="_blank">purse</a> I bought a few months ago, you had to open the card area to get to the coin section. No more!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I happen to work for the publishing company that creates <a href="http://www.molliemakes.com/" target="_blank">Mollie Makes</a>, so I thought I would drop them an e-mail to mention Layla's work. Two months later one of Layla's pictures along with a bit of blurb appeared in their Making Memories section (Issue 29).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently got my laptop upgraded at work, good times! Annoyingly due to the increase in size the current sleeve I had wouldn't fit, I didn't want to use a chunky bag and they had forgotten to order new sleeves. Luckily this sweet bird sleeve was on sale for £4.50 (Originally £15).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Jerry's previous home he had a photo wall, since the move the photos have been in a pile in a little basket. I've been looking for some albums that were small in size, simple design and would hold lots of prints. These 4 albums were tucked just under one of the display tables, just the 4 of them, each having space for 200 prints. At £4.50 (Originally £9) each, I thought I may as well buy all of them. I think he's managed to fill about two of them already, but there are a lot of photos I hope to get printed at some point.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now the magnets were a random buy, mainly because I felt we needed more for the fridge/freezer.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my last post I mentioned I got a great deal on a pair of bedside tables. I wasn't sure what to do with the previous tables I had, until I stacked them and thought hang on a minute. I've been meaning to clear some space/buy some extra storage for Jerry's book, with this little set up being able to accommodate the DVD collection, I finally had that space for the books. The bit in the middle was perfect for his DVD files too! </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It seems this up and down weather in the UK is proving to be great for sale shopping. I don't know if it's just me, but there seems to be a new sale on every other week in most stores at the moment. Is it weather? Is it people not spending on the high street? Who knows. </span></span></div>

I headed over to eBay and had a good look, I came across <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200709787136?var=500047351078&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649" target="_blank">this seller</a> who was selling exactly what I wanted.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been looking for a new swimming costume for a while (not that I'm actually planning to go swimming anytime soon). Whilst the Debenhams 20% sale was on, I came across this <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_064020808145_-1" target="_blank">figure flattering seagull printed swimsuit</a>.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion the most comfortable flip flops on the market are the <a href="http://shop.animal.co.uk/flip-flops-/swish-flip-flop/invt/fm2su404t053/" target="_blank">Swish</a> brand from Animal. Unlike most, these have a cushioned part that sits between your large and 2nd toe, leading to no blisters in my experience! I obviously chose the right day to go into the Bath store as these were half price at £7. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally a dress that I actually bought for full price! (I know, unusual for me). I had seen this <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk/pins+needles-poppy-cross-back-dress/invt/5130466610999/" target="_blank">Pins and Needles Poppy Cross back dress</a> in Urban Outfitters before, but this time I tried it on and liked it too much. The card came out of my purse and £55 was taken from it. It's a lovely cut, it looks great even without a waist belt and to be honest I thought it was cute. </span></div>

Let's just say the last few week have been pretty packed and blogging kind of slipped to the back of my mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>Work</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work has consisted of teaching lots of people how to use Google hangouts, whilst actually trying to figure out how it works myself! Once you've gone through the slightly complicated task of connecting your G+ page to your YouTube account, it's actually pretty fun to do a live broadcast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've also spent a lot of time training and revising for an exam to become YouTube certified in Audience Growth. Did you pass? I hear you say. Yes, yes I did and oh my goodness it wasn't easy! That trip to London consisted of a great view from my hotel room, nicest guy ever in a chinese restaurant (Mr Wu's), first ever experience of room service and a slight addiction to the Apple yoyo snacks at YouTube.<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bath YouTube gathering was on the 1st June, along with </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the IF YouTube gathering in London on the 8th. Both of which I got sun burnt somewhere on my body. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Bath Gathering was a lovely chilled day spent at the royal crescent, many ice lollies were consumed and the burger in the evening at GBK was pretty yummy.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The IF YouTube gathering was a fantastic day spent in Hyde Park with about 14,000 other members of the public. It was great to see so many people come together to help promote the fact that world hunger should not be tolerated and that there is enough food for everyone.<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fitness yoga is going well, had to miss out the second week due to being in London, but I've been twice since then. It's hard work but so relaxing at the same time, gives me time to forget about everything and just worry about the slightly painful stretch happening in my leg. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Been buying lots more fruit from the market stall next to Marks & Spenser lately too. Treating myself to bowls of freshly cut fruit, get that healthy feel good feeling after one of those, specially after eating a McDonalds ha! The 5 bean chilli has been made a couple of more times since too, great filler that one. Also, brand new fridge/freezer! Need to get some ice lolly moulds so I can attempt some smoothie lollies nom!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My aim for the next month or so is to get back into vlogging! No more excuses, quality isn't a major importance for me, also there are lots of events coming up soon of which I want to document through the power of video as well as Instagram images. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Think I'll start off with a random 'I'm still here' vlog on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/absolutetwoddle" target="_blank">main channel</a>, followed by actually making content for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sweetsensations" target="_blank">SweetSensations</a>. Just need to get back into the pattern, make it part of my routine like it used to be. The whole having a full time job excuse doesn't really work anymore sadly ha!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06794454054076394793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542182222711877509.post-75219007920569750452013-05-22T22:41:00.000+01:002013-05-22T22:54:41.270+01:00Warrior, into sunshine warrior.<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last night I tried Fitness Yoga for the first time ever! I realised I'm not as bendy as I used to be but really enjoyed the challenge. Even though you are not pressured to push yourself, I did just that to see what my level was. I came away feeling shattered but in a great way, also very relaxed. I just need to work on my breathing, but then again trying to balance, watch how the teacher is doing it and concentrate on breathing at the same time is pretty difficult. Unfortunately I cannot attend again next week, but I look forward to going the week after.<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today was a stressful one, a lot going on at once and prioritisation changing every thew minutes. Did actually find myself getting pretty frustrated and wanting to just walk out at one point. Stupidly I didn't go outside for some fresh air, first mistake right there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of those get home and unscrew the lid on a new bottle of wine evenings. As well as sort the rubbish out and do two loads of washing but that's just normal haha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And as I write this entry, the weather man states that this has been the coldest spring since 1979. Little depressing. Oh and scattered showers tomorrow, ah well, that's what you get for living in the UK I guess. Oh look, Friday is even worse and a wet bank holiday Monday. Well, you didn't really expect two great bank holidays in a row did you?</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06794454054076394793noreply@blogger.com0Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, UK51.375801 -2.35990390000006351.296515500000005 -2.5212654000000629 51.4550865 -2.1985424000000631tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542182222711877509.post-76115409745078641152013-05-21T01:00:00.000+01:002014-02-27T12:02:53.480+00:00Preparing for the heatwave<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Top right is a Primark red ditsy floral dress (£5). Bottom left is a bargain from eBay, Vintage cream lace dress by Pearl Lowe for Peacocks (£15.00+£3.00p+p). And finally a lovely diamond and pearl necklace by Vicenza at Debenhams (Was £18, now £9) - Think this one will go well with the lace dress.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another favourite of mine at the moment is a perfume, which is odd as I don't usually like any of them. Whilst walking to work one more a lady was handing out these samples outside <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jolly's</a>. After a small spray I thought this is actually quite nice, surprising myself with that comment. Since then I'm managed to get my hands on two more 1.5ml testers, but at some point I'm actually going to have to cough up the £37 or so for the 30ml bottle.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06794454054076394793noreply@blogger.com1Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, UK51.375801 -2.35990390000006351.296515500000005 -2.5212654000000629 51.4550865 -2.1985424000000631tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542182222711877509.post-78628796704648057662013-05-20T20:07:00.000+01:002013-05-20T20:07:48.099+01:00On the road to a bigger smile<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the post before last was a positive one, I spoke about the extra activities I talked myself into and since then I've been doing a lot more!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Health & Fitness</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, I thought I might tackle the whole mood thing with some herbal remedies. A friend suggested St Johns Wort to me, but once I reached Holland and Barrett I soon discovered I couldn't take it due to the contraceptive pill. Thank goodness for their knowledge! Anyway, I was recommended 5-HTP for mood and anxiety, along with B-100 for tiredness. For a couple of days I took them, I think they were working but I wasn't too sure, so I decided to go off of them for a couple of days to see if that made a different. I didn't really notice much change, but maybe that's me being a little impatient, or it could be that the B-100 is so large I worry I might choke every morning! I haven't taken them for the last 4 days or so, but think I'll try again. If nothing by the end of the bottles then I might not bother again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why is there a random PSY mask I hear you say, well this was a present from my friend after her visit to South Korea. It's a face mask and reminded me how much I use to use these things when I was younger. Loved having fruity weird stuff on my face and then peeling it off after. <br />Last week a guy at work mentioned about doing some Fitness Yoga at a gym near by. Not such a bad idea, Fitness Yoga on Tuesdays and Skating on Thursdays, sounds like a great fitness routine to me! So tomorrow I'm going to attend my first class and see how it goes. </span></div>

The hamster run is proving to be pretty pointless as he's figured out how to climb out of that now, but he can now climb up his slide with little effort.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Saturday Jerry and I took the train to Cardiff to meet up with a couple of his friends. We enjoyed some lovely food and tea in this quirky little place called <a href="http://www.bills-website.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank">Bill's Cafe Bar & Restaurant</a>. The rest of the day was spent playing board games and entertaining the beautiful <a href="http://vicarswifeintraining.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/baby" target="_blank">Ivy</a>. </span><br />

I have no idea why I haven't made it before, was amazing. She also made Bread and Butter pudding of which I've not been a fan of in previous years, think that was due to a bad cookery lesson at school... but I'm fully converted now. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I mentioned in my last blog, Friday I booked the day off work and went to Bristol for a little retail therapy. As it was a week day I thought Primark would be quieter, but stupidly I forgot that other people tend to book the Fridays off for a bank holiday weekend too! I regret putting so many items in my basket to try on and ended up leaving half of it due to the heat, screaming children and as slightly rude changing room staff. But after all of that I did manage to pick up these little bargains:</span></div>

Honestly, I found myself not getting along with them so well. I looked into the help that work offered, printed off the information and the phone number, I never called. I think I feel determined to do this myself for some weird reason, I'm looking at this as a challenge to make myself feel better using my own path. I could be wrong in thinking like this but I'll admit I have become happier over the last couple of weeks. Yes some may say it's the weather but I would disagree, I've just spent a little more time on myself and I'm working on the areas that need to be improved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Relaxing</b> <br />Most days when returning home from work, I'm now just chilling out on the sofa and not panicking too much about what needs to be done. I'll still do a spot of washing up, cooking and laundry if needed, but thinking of it all in a more positive light. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Addition to the family</b><br />Jerry and I have become loving parents to Doc. Yes I know, he's just a hamster but I'm not having a kid yet! He's a playful little guy and is currently the tender age of 7 and half weeks. It's lovely spending time in the evenings playing, having him run around and explore. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've started doing more activities in the time I have, mainly as I've noticed I don't worry so much when I'm distracted. Probably sounds very obvious, but it get's me out of routine and too much routine makes me worry if something doesn't get done. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week I only realised on the Tuesday that it was going to be a Bank Holiday weekend, so I randomly booked the Friday off and met up with a couple of friends in Bristol. A little retail therapy and chilling in the park was just what I needed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then last night (Sunday) Jerry and I got invited to skate through the new <a href="http://www.twotunnels.org.uk/" target="_blank">Two Tunnels</a> in Bath. It was hard work but very fun. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since doing all of the above I've found that my mood swings haven't been as regular. I've also found myself stopping, taking a deep breathe and telling myself that I need to calm down and assess the situation if feeling really stressed. It's still a working progress of course, but one step at a time and hopefully I'll start feeling a little bit more me again soon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've got an exciting summer ahead of me, Vidcon in LA, SitC in London (also Jerry's birthday) and a lovely friends wedding to attend in Sweden. With that a the lovely weather we have at the moment, I haven't a clue why I'm complaining!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So all of my past blogs have been about something pretty I've bought or making something out of nothing. This post is going to be a bit more about me and I'm thinking about blogging more about life more often. I used to blog quite a lot when I was younger, I found it quite therapeutic and sometimes it's nice to randomly share your inner thoughts with strangers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to jump straight into it. Over the last 6 or so months I've been feeling all over the place, mixture of mood, stress and anxiety. I began to argue more about stupid little things, I've been getting tired easily and just lost enthusiasm for a lot of things in life really. It's been tugging at me so I thought it would be best to seek help as I just couldn't put my finger on what was actually wrong with me. I returned to the doctors after getting blood tests the other week, sadly all of that was clear. I say sadly because I was hoping it would be something that could be fixed sooner rather than later. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first option is to possibly go on a 16 week therapy course to basically help turn all of my negative thoughts into positive ones. Therapy to me sounds odd, I have no idea why and I know a lot of people that have it for various reasons. I guess I personally think that I don't need it as I haven't yet had a mental breakdown, I've had no suicidal thoughts, but it's not really all about that. I met someone last week who was as bubbly as can be and she admitted that even she had been seeing a therapist. It's obviously a lot more normal than I first thought. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I'll check out the couple of websites the doctor recommended first before I call up for the course. Apparently you have to do some sort of phone interview to see if you fit the course anyway, bit random. Sites suggested were <a href="http://www.llttf.com/">livinglifetothefull.com</a> and <a href="https://moodgym.anu.edu.au/">Mood Gym</a>, I'll give them a shot I think. If anyone else knows of some great guides then please comment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will have to see how this all goes really, need to learn to just chill out a lot more. Easier said than done for me and it's not like I've not tried! I've always worried since I can remember, I worry that I don't do enough and that I won't please everyone. In reality I take on far too much and then end up worrying because I don't think I'll be able to complete it all. Learning to say No instead of Yes to EVERYTHING would be a good start. Part of me refuses to think about myself as I feel selfish for doing so, I shouldn't feel like that of course but I do. In my head there is always something that can be done but really I just need to train my brain to switch off and reassure myself that it's not the end of the world if a certain task doesn't get completed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Positive thoughts, that's what I need. To get excited about the adventures that lie ahead and not to panic about every single element so that I don't actually enjoy them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'd like to thank all who have supported me this last week or so, people who have sent messages with help, advice and reassuring me that it'll be okay. I even received a wonderful card and gift (earrings in picture above) from <a href="http://vicarswifeintraining.blogspot.co.uk/">Rachel</a>, which put a warm smile on my face.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At least I will always know, no matter how I feel, that I have loving people around me who do care. I appreciate that so much, I really do. Also I thank <a href="http://jerryhcooke.com/">Jerry</a> for putting up with me lately, with my random strops, I'm doing all I can to be that Helen I was once before :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also one last thing... finally we have warm weather, woohoo!!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06794454054076394793noreply@blogger.com0Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, UK51.375801 -2.35990390000006351.296515500000005 -2.5212654000000629 51.4550865 -2.1985424000000631tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542182222711877509.post-63582724444187931542013-04-20T20:15:00.000+01:002014-02-27T12:01:41.393+00:00H&M Cardigan Frenzy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">Finally have a decent back for my work laptop that's also shower proof. Before I used to have everyday cotton tote bags, these are fine but with the weight they tend to dig into your shoulder a little. This lovely bag by Kangol looks great and fits everything I need perfectly. Even an added extra of a pocket on the front, along with a zipper and phone pockets on the inside. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After getting my hands on that lovely <a href="http://absolute-twoddle.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/mantaray-cream-canvas-leaf-printed-bag.html" target="_blank">Mantaray bag</a> the other week, I thought it would be nice to go out with the old and in with the new of the purse side of things. Current purse is a lovely multicoloured striped one that I picked up in the Paperchase sale for about £3 many years ago. The zipper on the inner coin section keeps coming off, so I thought it would be wise to upgrade.<br /><br />Even though this purse has many more card sections, I still think I might have to get another little card holder for all of those store bonus cards!</span></div>

So I jumped onto eBay and came across this lovely vintage looking earring tree.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had 3 frames that I bought from IKEA a few years ago, two of which had been poorly put on the wall in the bedroom in my current flat.
