I have been really crap bad recently at writing blog posts. Â I think because it had started to feel like a chore and I wasn’t enjoying it. Â I love writing though so I wanted to get back into more regular posting. Â Bring on #Blogtober2017
It’s a daily challenge throughout October to write a post each day with prompts to use.
All About Me
I thought I would share some information about myself that you may not know. Â Most of my readers will know I am a very happily married mum, over the age of 21 (by quite a few years); Â I have three school aged children with a variety of Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) and although I was born and raised in Merseyside, I now live in Kent.
What you may not know about me
- I have a real passion for stationery. Â And when I say passion, I actually mean a very unhealthy, expensive obsession.
- I use a bullet journal to keep myself organised
- I love gadgets.  Whether it is a £5 cheese slicer from the local garden centre, a £2k computer from the Apple shop or a 50p stationery stamp.  I just love gadgets.
- I practise daily meditation.  It helps to clear my head and makes me a nicer person to be around.
- I keep a daily “Morning Pages” book
- I love cheese & onion crisps – but only if they are soaked in salad cream (don’t ask)
- I can write backwards as quickly as I can write forwards (a talent that comes from sitting on too many buses as a youth and wanting people outside the bus to read my messages)
- In my mis-spent youth, I was an 18-30 rep
- I have a mild form of brittle bones (osteo genesis imperfecta i) so the whites of my eyes have a slight blue tint to them.
- I love reading
- I love audiobooks but only personal development books; never fiction
- I rarely drink now. Â However, when I do drink, I forget that I rarely drink and think I am still a rep who has the capacity to drink more than most
- I have been prescribed anti-depressants
- I have been prescribed anti-anxiety medication
- I see a clairvoyant quite regularly
- I can swear, fairly proficiently, in Spanish
- I am not competitive in the least – but really wish I was
What about you?
Tell me something you think I probably don’t know about you

I love that you can swear in Spanish! You so need to teach me some haha. I can totally see you being an 18-30 rep, and being VERY good at it x
i love my bullet journal although been a little slack of it as of late! Must get back into it!
I do the same but know how much I forget to do if it’s not in there – perhaps you could get back into it by writing a list of Blogtober2017 prompts in there?
Lovely reading all about you. I would love to do a bullet journal would be much better than my lists on random bits of paper.
That’s what triggered me to start. I had lists and post it’s everywhere
How wonderful to learn more about you…Ohh! Cheese & onion crisps soaked in salad cream is an odd combo. lol
Quite bizarre I know, and I have no idea where it came from because none of my family do it and my husband thinks I am a freak, lol!
YES!!!!!!! I’M NOT ALONE!!! I never thought I’d find anyone else who loves cheese and onion crisps smothered in salad cream!! High five sista!! That’s made my evening!! Lol!
Seriously! I feel so much better now, I thought I was alone and weird. Now I feel I have found my tribe LOL xxx
I’ve only ever listened to 1 audio book and that was a demo version of 50 shades XD #blogtober2017
Ha ha ha. I could be converted to fiction, lol!
Something about me… ermmmm WEll I know you’ve just read my about me post so that’s not left me with much else to say. Oh, I know… I like the smell of my husband’s armpits. They’re not all sweaty and smelly like you initially think when you hear the word armpits but just a slight masculine smell.
Fab facts – I know the feeling about drinking – I worked on French campsites for much of my early 20s and I occasionally forget I can’t drink like I used to! #Blogtober
Good luck with blogtober from a fellow stationery addict
Welcome to #Blogtober17, so glad you are joining us, and hope it gets you out of the slump x I am pretty good at swearing in German (i’m sure that wasn’t the point of my gcse)
