I like making choices that meet with how I feel each day

The start of this week has been a struggle as not felt too good, and so stayed in but really I needed to be outside and glad I did go out today as I bumped into someone that I hadn't seen for ages. She was someone I met when my son was born, as her son like Henry was premature, and born two days before Henry and so good to see her. 

Wimbledon RFC Ground that we go to each weekend and gives my son joy and me too

Today I did a list for today of what I needed to get done as started to work on my laptop in the mornings, and has helped plan and break my day up. Everyone has a different schedule, and important jobs to do, and so like to acknowledge those who take their kids to school each day and on time, yet they have to travel a lot to do that, and then go to work and rarely have time for themselves. 

When it comes to choices and what to do each day, is on how I feel, and today wanted to hop on the bus, get bits for dinner, grab a coffee and get bus back. 

It is the same when it comes to food and meals. It has to be what I feel like, and so I plan meals but do a list of what I want to eat, but don't set in stone as I may change my mind and that will feel me up and not have a biscuit or a packet of crisps, as I have gone off those foods and loved my lunch, which was a ham and cucumber baguette which needs to be used up with some mayonnaise and an apple, and this morning had toast with jam, just one slice and porridge with Raspberries and feel so better for it. 

I had to stop writing this blog because I fancied a bath and feel refreshed and yes weird time but it is what I felt like and have time to play around with and won't need one later, and would like to go for a long walk tomorrow and get a mothers day gift and a birthday card and get ready as going to a birthday party at the weekend so looking forward to that and catch with friends and being near the sea always helps boost my wellbeing and leave my laptop behind.

Tonight going to do some reading as the book I am reading at the moment is really good. It is  Atomic Habits and been so good to read and been taking tips from that by doing 2 habits and love a good book to read and helps me to get things done. 

So I hope this blog helps you to do what you want to do, not what you have to do and make choices that puts a spring in your step and feel good for each day. 

Many thanks for reading,

Coffee and cakes

So I thought my son had his first Babyccino this week, but found out that it wasn't and he didn't like the hot milk version but cold. This was in Costas and I love their cornflakes cakes and even though I do have a coffee machine in my home they aren't as good. However, using the coffee machine at home, has saved me a lot of money and same with instant coffee, which I have at my son's home in Epsom, and going to buy myself another jar of coffee and cold latte sachets to save the pennies.  My son drinking his Babyccino I do often will pay a visit to Cafe Nero if I fancy a Chai Latte and love their Bacon and Brie Panini, but can be pricey so I now cut this down to having this once a month, and tomorrow was planning to visit Starbucks, but I had to catch myself, because why buy a coffee from Starbucks, when I buying coffee in a supermarket?  Am I alone in this?  It is double the expense, and I know I could stop drinking coffee, but I love my coffee in the morning and dayti

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

Take good care of your skin

Image
Noone likes dry skin including myself and if I don't moisturise each day that is exactly what it does and from a kid have looked after my skin and it can really help how you are feeling and so having a good skincare routine each day is important.  My main two are my Nivea creams, and for a while would use baby oil and E45 but these products can be expensive, not unless you have a Savers near you or Poundland. I would like to try different brands, like I have one by Olay, but not really used it.  Getting into the habit can help do wake you up each day and I mean the skin. I do wear make up but not a lot because I like my skin to breath.  I am trying to balance it out though as I would like to put on make up regularly, but can't establish a routine at the moment, as I have been concentrating on getting back into my exercise.  It's not that I don't like the make I have, its just putting on a simple look but I am going to try as of tomorrow as it does help my confidence, an
