November 12th, 2016.

Me and DH had a good talk last night about certain aspects of our lives, and we have put our plans on the table so to speak. I feel much more positive about what we are going to attempt, as a joint effort, and feel like I can begin to get more on track.

We talked about next year, and what we hope to achieve by the end of it. We talked about us as a family and we both want to go on holiday somewhere with DS next year. We did talk about going abroad, but feel that it isn't necessary at this point in time. As soon as DH finds out his holiday dates for next year, we are going to start looking at options. I quite want to go back to Centre Parcs; we took DS when he was six months old and had a lovely week there. He'll be older and be able to do more if we go again. However, it is incredibly expensive in school holidays, so it may not be the best option at the moment.

My pre-launch is on Tuesday, and am on in the process of writing a blog post that introduces the next stage of my blog/business. I'm really excited about it, but also really nervous. Hopefully some people will think it's a good idea!

I am going to try and get back into writing on here regularly; my updates often feeling boring and have a lack of excitement, but I am happy that our lives are that way. I turn 30 in less than a month, which I'm not particularly thrilled about, but I'm looking forward to what my thirties will bring.

Happy Saturday

Is there a less expensive version of Center Parcs? Even an adventure place? They do seem to charge a lot for the name ...

Just thinking about your updates ... do you find it useful to update us? Or has it become a chore? Do you use this place to help make those plans? Because your life sounds amazing, it really does, not at all flat! There's stuff you're happy about too - thats important to focus on

My life is very ordinary currently, very small compared to the big stuff that people are doing, so I sort of know what you mean, but I scribble on about my plans to make my life bigger even if the plans are incomplete, or don't actually work

Hope you've had a lovely weekend.

I'm not sure, to be honest. Will put it on the list of things to research!

When I update here more regularly, I do find it keeps me on track better. It's just finding time to do everything. And thank you

It's been a sad day today. A work colleague who I am quite close to, her husband has died today. He had been battling cancer for a while, but he was only in his 40s. She's obviously devastated, plus she has two teenagers to comfort too. A sad day.

My post revealing all is scheduled to go live at 6am tomorrow morning. I'm nervous! If you want to head over to my blog to read about it all, please do. And if you can leave a reassuring comment on there, it would be very grateful.

Talking of being grateful, I'm going to give DS an extra hug tonight, plus DH too. Time is far too short.

Carp diem.
Sobering news indeed.

So.... it's up

Getting quite a positive response so far, so that's reassuring

Work over for another week. I'm glad as I'm feeling under the weather and I just want to have a rest and a relax at home. DH is off tomorrow so we're going to go out and try and get the majority of our christmas shopping done. We have got quite a bit, but just want it out of the way now.

The pre-launch yesterday seems fairly positive. I guess that the proof in the pudding is whether anyone joins up on January 1st. Only time will tell

Another NSD for me today; plodding along as always.
