Good Luck, Bad Luck and Modelling for 5 Minutes!

I've had an interesting week so far and it's only Wednesday! 
On Monday my laptop went a tiny bit funny and decided it needed to be refreshed and seemed to be fine.

On Tuesday, I switched it on to find it had been infected with a virus that had encrypted all my files - eek! Thankfully the lovely chaps at the local repair shop have been able to remove the virus but it was bloody scary! 

My luck improved on Tuesday afternoon, I won an iPad in a survey my uni sent out to previous graduates (or alumni if I wish to sound a bit posh!) and I went to pick it up today! 

I spent 5 minutes outside and inside my old uni posing for photos with my pretty new toy - the closest experience I'll ever have to being a model! Lol 

It scares me sometimes how much I rely on my gadgets/technology. 
I spend a lot of time on my laptop, whether it's job hunting, filling out applications, blogging, catching up on TV shows....but I also do most of those things on my phone too.

If I didn't have either, I'm not sure how I'd fill my time alone! That worries me, I think I need to start having more adventures to fill my time...... :-) 

I also had a nice shopping trip with my mother and had a Nutella milk shake - let's hope the good luck continues :-).

Today's Shoes

Technically I've had two pairs of shoes on today but for the most part I had on my super comfy green boots! 
They are designed to look a bit like Docs but they were a total bargain for everything5pounds.com! 
They zip up the side so the laces are just to make your foot feel a little more secure - best fiver I ever spent!

I'm Grateful For: Autumn Joys

I did it again, I went nearly a whole year without posting anything, because I'm rubbish. If you're new here, I do this. If you're not new, you know this.  I have no real excuse this year - last year was the year of opposites, I had a lot on at work, my mother and father in law died 21 days apart, I got married four months later, there was grief, there was a Canadian honeymoon, there was stuff going on. I'd be lying if I said this year had been smooth sailing, but there's been more of a sense of calm.  I get to autumn and I get all airy fairy and contemplative, it's no longer about making it through the year, it's, as my boss beautifully put it this week, limping towards Christmas.  Years ago, and about three blogs ago - if you can be bothered scrolling far enough through the archive I've uploaded here - I used to write happy lists of all the things that made me happy, because I was a bit like Joy from inside out - happy because happy and even when it...

Blogmas: Prattling nonsense about Christmas and Potatoes

  We all knew when I posted a Blogmas post on December 1st that it would be highly unlikely I'd post daily.  It's not laziness, I promise. I just don't like posting when even I don't find it interesting!  My December has been very different this year.  On a 'normal' year I'd be out nearly every day playing Christmas music either in the street, in a church of some sort or in a care facility for the elderly.  This year, I've largely been sat on my posterior binge watching Riverdale.  I've cut down largely on actually reading social media but I have been watching people's stories and posting nonsense, I just find it healthier not to engage with everything I scroll past.  I think that might be what I take from this year, consume less - create more.  James christened me 'Little Miss Christmas' in the past and that's actually quite a fair description, for a grown woman I am absolutely nuts on Christmas.  It's fair to say I get high on t...

Stop faking it: 30 day challenge #5

  Something I realised today that I have allowed to feed my imposter syndrome is the fact that I look younger than I am.  I’m quite lucky in that respect, for the most part, people are kind to me because they see the youthful face and have a comforting tone and a kinder delivery. Sometimes though, it can manifest in someone being patronising or dismissive of ‘the daft wee lassie’ I don’t always carry myself as the 32 year old that I am, which can perhaps come off as inexperience or ineptitude. When I do start to carry myself as a competent and experienced 32 year old, I’ve found people who assume I’m younger can read it as ‘getting above my station’  It was a harmless comment from an older colleague talking about old money that sparked the thought process in my head but it has reminded me to address it. It perhaps comes under ‘practice it until your perfect it’ - I can work on carrying myself not so much as a ‘grown up’ but as someone who has the experience and knowledge ...
