    DIY / Upcycling: Redecorating My Bathroom

    5th January 2015

    This Christmas was the fourth year I’ve lived in my flat, and the fourth year I’ve told myself I will not go another year with my disgusting, aged bathroom. And this time I managed to sort it in the first few days of the new year! The bathroom is completely tiled, and me not having…

    DIY / UPCYCLING: Mending My Toddler-Destroyed Headboard

    27th September 2014

    I’m still astounded by the damage and chaos a tiny toddler can cause within a matter of minutes seconds. Chunk was sitting on my bed quite peacefully and happily playing on his tablet and reading some books whilst I was hoovering the room, so I thought it was safe to run the hoover around the spare…

    DIY: Toybox On A Budget

    28th June 2013

    Who wants to see my latest cheap (but great) creation for my little boy? As you all know I’m on a very tight budget, but I refuse to let my son go without; I just have to think of creative ways to get things sometimes!

I talked to people about my fears of him going now I talked to people about my fears of him going nowhere and never seeing him again,  and many more detailed questions, then later that day I asked for a sign via song and this song came on shuffle play as soon as i asked. The lyrics answer everything I asked. Was it stuart? #grievingwidow #griefjourney #grieveoutloud

Sitting in barbers with my son and suddenly had fl Sitting in barbers with my son and suddenly had flashback to last time we were here in August the day before my mum's funeral. 

I was a shaky mess having just lost my partner who was supposed to be at her funeral with me, and i was silently crying and having a shaking panic attack in a crowded barbers. 

A few weeks later im here again but been able to converse with barber and sit without panicking. 

Small progress is being made and I didnt register that until now.

Anyone else dealing with such huge loss, please remember, take it day by day, hour by hour and try to check in with yourself sometimes to see the progress you've made, because its so easy to miss the tiny achievements amidst the grief.
