Do I want to talk about the C-Word yet?

What am I talking about?

C H R I S T MA S

NO WAY TOO EARLY!



They, and I mean the TV news bullitens have started counting days already and I am like PLEASE DON'T WE ARE EXPERIENCING A HEAT WAVE IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW in the UK and I am just not ready. 

I have in passed blogs talked about xmas, and how I would plan from tbe following January to the next one, and now to far ahead for me, more like Mid December perhaps as we approach November, but no time sooner. 

There are people, and I have been told I am mad, who have already started getting ready, and I am like are they really human? Cause for me not this year. I do leave it to the last minute to get out Christmas cards and have left it too late, and then thought I'll save them for next year, and don't. 

I now set my money and financial planning in quarters and that has been the biggest change for me this year, and not gonna pile on the pressure for Christmas this year, so I am waiting.

Its not that I am a humbug again, its that its a busy financiallty busy time before Christmas due to birthdays and so I am getting to ahead of myself and gonna worry about celebrating halloween with my son and other children, like my nieces, but for Christmas, yes there it is, I going to keep until late this year, so I can concentrate on this part of the year, the new school year and challenges I want to set for myself as this is another thing that has been life changing and been the best thing I have done. 

Many thanks for reading, 

Carrie X

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break...

Finding a decent coffee

Image
I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now ...

Being 45 and growing

Image
 As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being a child, because I saw being an adult, it meant that you had more freedom than being a child. Being 45 seemed a long long milestone and now I am 45, gotten to a place where I am okay with my life, and that I have come a long way to feeling good about myself and that I am no longer fearful compared to when I was a kid. I did have a good childhood and feel very lucky with the things I have done through out it, like holiday's in Clacton and Menorca, and seeing shows up London and visits to London Zoo, Chessington Zoo before it became a Theme Park, and it was just the zoo, and getting my ears pierced up London and spent time seeing my grandparents.  There was a time I liked to go out all the time and meet friends for a drink and get plastered. Not so much now, and like having the odd drink, but no over do it. Its alright going out partying but you have to think about getting home safely and I think you become more protective especially be...
