It's good to be back!

So much has happened!

Okay so first of all I need to apologize for my severe lack of blogging. If I am being completely honest, I lost all motivation. Not just for blogging but for going to the gym and having a social life in general. I took some time off to really just focus on myself and get my life in some kind of an order.

I will try and keep this update brief as so much has happened. I was made redundant from the casino I worked for, I was there just under 12 weeks. I then had to make a difficult choice between carrying on university or getting a full time job. As a mum to a toddler, this decision was pretty straight forward once I looked at the financial side; and so I now work at Yorkshire Building Society as a mortgage qualifier. Not only does this mean I now feel I barely see Isabella, it means she now has to go to nursery, which I absolutely hate. Don't get me wrong, Kinder-haven is an astounding nursery and the staff are incredible, but I miss her so much when she goes, and even though she has been there nearly 4 months, she still cries for me every single time I drop her off. 
It doesn't get any easier when she does. 

I absolutely love my job, the office environment is so much different to what I expected, everybody genuinely wants to help each other, they're all like one big family and it's nice to be a part of it. The hours I work are pretty good and they are so flexible with my shifts which is a great help for dropping off and picking up Isabella from nursery.

We moved house! We now have a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, alright it means walking up two flights of stairs with a toddler every day but it's home, its cosy and warm and much better than my last flat. It's not our forever home though, I am hoping we can find a nice 3 bed terraced house somewhere with a little garden so Isabella can play, but right now, it does nicely. 

I started my driving lessons and I'm honestly not as terrible as I thought I would be, I actually quite enjoy the lessons and I honestly cannot wait to have my own car, it will make day to day life so much easier.

I've been taking things a day at a time, one foot in front of the other, trying to get my head in the right space again and just get a few goals ticked off the list. 

I'm doing okay, I think. 

I'm back to blogging again now, although I am still working out my schedule and how often I want to post, i'm trying to squeeze it in around work and home life, so all I can say is keep an eye out, there will be new content very very soon!

Thanks for reading!
