I'm around here somewhere!

Dear Nobody in Particular,

How are you today? I am around, I'm well to a point and missing all of you. I've been working on my intolerance's and have found I can not eat a lot of things despite only doing a quarter of my list only so far. Some things I will never try some I will try as they come a long so it could be a year before I complete it. Now I'm cooking for myself separate and my mum and husband separate which really sucks up a lot of my evening and I'm hardly finding time to blog despite having many book reviews and lollipop sticks still to post. I will however do a better health post another time as I'm still working on things, my biggest obstacles of course are all the doctors at my medical centre... so many stories to tell but nothing amazes me anymore!

 

I've had holidays this week which is such a relief but also quite sad as its back to work on Monday. I managed to make my way through all my letters, relax a lot and plan my Christmas postcards, I just now need to make them but I've decided this year to just make them for friends rather then everyone on Make My Day this year. The weather up until today has been nice but all other times its been dark and rainy... still we're so lucky that we got nothing like the south did!

 

I'll probably continue to be here less and less until I can manage my time better or even better buy a house! We have made so many offers on so many properties but only came close to buying one. I just don't get why its not happening but I really need to keep faith as its so easy to lose it especially after 7 years! 

 

I am however active on Instagram at least so if you are on there look me up, I'm Samash81! I can't wait to meet you :).

 

Have a good weekend!

Bubbles!

 

 

 

Dear... Retirement!

Dear Nobody in Particular,

How are you today? I am returning back to work after a glorious week off where as usual I crafted, wrote a letter but didn't read a single book... well you can't fit everything in. My health is still up and down but it is at least some consolation now that I aren't imagining it and its all down to my Vitamin D levels being extremely low. I only have 4 more weeks of Vitamins left but I know I need more as so far the rushing in my ears, the nausea and the odd ache has gone but everything else is still there that were giving me grief before (mainly the tiredness, aching ankles and stomach pains).

 

I was sat looking through my flickr for a photo I could use for a blog post when I decided to go back and look at all my old creations and photos, it seems like such a life time ago when I created some of these and makes me realise that at times I could keep things simple then also. It however reminded me also that I have been meaning to ask someone, anyone for some inspiration for a craft project I could do for a retirement. There are very little people I would want to spoil in my work place but there is one lady whose been quite neutral and a person you could talk to if you wanted, she's taking early retirement and I'll quite miss her when she leaves. I want to put together either something handmade or one of those now that you're retired kits you need to.... but I don't know where to start or what to do so I'm wondering if any of you could help me with some ideas. I've tried Pinterest but the search for me is pretty useless.

 

Do you every sit and look at old photos, letters and other such things?

 

Yours

Bubbles
