What will you make of 2015??

45.

Hello my loves :D I feel like I'm slacking with this whole blogging thing, I promise to try and get the swing of it again soon :) 

Like my last post I'm listening to McBusted, I still love them and Rob still HASN'T got me any tickets to go and see them...this makes me very sad! I am determined to change his mind though don't you worry my loves. (I'm secretly hoping that he will buy me them for our 1 year wedding anniversary hehe)

So lovelies, that's it! The festive season is over and we are about to begin a new year together and start all over again. That's what I like about the new year it's like a refresh, we get to start the year differently. We can look back on the things we disliked from the previous year and some how try to not do what we didn't like again. But also I think mentally when the new year arrives we can picture how we would like that year to go, achieve things we couldn't, set goals for ourselves. I think my goal will be to get myself out there more and to stop sitting around not enjoying myself, and to start making any memories that I'll look back on in the future.  

How are you all celebrating the new year? Do different countries celebrate in different ways? Do you guys have certain traditions you do each year? My new year tradition is watching the London fireworks on the tele and telling myself that the next new year I will be there to witness them, because you all know how much I love the magic of fireworks!!


I feel that 2015 will be a toughy for me but 2015 will help develop a stronger version of myself, I'm going to try and make it a year where I stop worrying so much about what others think of me, whether people like me or not because I have let too many people who contribute nothing to my life affect how am I in my life and I shouldn't do that. None of us should. So if any of you are like me, please join me in living 2015 solely as ourselves, for ourselves and not those who don't matter! 

I am going to try and stop my chocolate addiction because it's got way out of hand and I am going to try and get myself walking more! I need to shift these lbs!! I need to lose a whole person in weight so that is my goal for 2015. I need to get healthier and more confident with myself so my loves if you see me with chocolate, knock it out of my hands!! 

Fingers crossed the new year will bring me and Rob a house of our own. I really want us to have our own space together instead of living in a box bedroom. We can start our married life together properly when we get our own home and I canny wait!! <3 

I would like to make 2015 a year of learning about others and how they are and how they have become the person they are today. I want to stop being focused on my own issues and life to be more focused on others...I want to make long term friends.



2015 is going to be whatever I make of it, 2015 will be whatever you make of it




 This was taken today (Sunday) 


We went into the town and I was so scarred about the ice I held onto his arm the whole time we were walking, he must of thought I was being daft but he fell on the ice in the morning when he was alone so I didn't want him falling again. 

I really struggle understanding him now :( Dementia is cruel! It just won't let the words come out and the MND is an evil bastard because those moments he gets the words out I can't understand them. 

I understand his smiles though :) 





This was taken on Christmas Day

I got to the home around 11am to be greeted by my Dad in his Grumpy pj bottoms and his Superman slippers - fab combo! He knew it was Christmas but I don't think he was overly bothered by it, he got quite a few presents which he loved from everyone. I got him an Arsenal calendar and a Bobby Womack CD. He was in really good spirits, which made me happy as it was our first Christmas together.

Happy New Year
Much love to you all

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie

In difficulty there is strength and laughter

53. Hello my loves... This may seem like a very strange time, some may think I shouldn't write at all right now but as I'm just sat here, waiting, I feel I should (plus I've been given permission from my sister Kellie and Rob) On Wednesday 4th February, which seems like a lifetime ago, I got a phone call to say things with Dad had took a turn and we all needed to get to the home as time was looking short. I can't explain the fear that was going through me. The panic was so strong I was physically shaking until i got to the home to see him.  I had no idea what to expect, what had happened or what was going to happen, I just had to go with it. I guess we all do when faced with these extremes.  I have to admit I was pretty shocked to see that once the sedation had worn off he was back to his smiley self, even dancing along to the music.  But we knew it was serious when they said he was now completely nill by mouth, no food, no liquid.  An influx of fa

Our story with MND so far..

6.  These are my feelings and my thoughts, no one else's, just mine. In June 2013 my Dad was dealt the card of Motor Neurone Disease, a horrible disease. MND attacks the central nervous system and causes muscles to weaken and waste away. People with MND have to struggle everyday with activities that wouldn't have affected them before. It can be different with each person but sadly the outcome is always the same, there are no survivors, only true fighters! There is no cure... In some cases of MND the person can also have Frontotemporal Dementia. A less common form of dementia but nevertheless devastating. My Dad also has this... I first realised that something wasn't quite right around January 2013, my dad and I were sat in a cafe and he couldn't open a folded lottery ticket my exact words to him were "can't you use for hands or something" his reply was "no, my hand has got really weak" I asked him to make a fist with his right han
