A Cup of Tea and Toast

Hello and welcome to my site and for checking out this blog site. I am writing this as I have my second cup of tea for the day with, two slices of toast with Jam. This is the life. 

Nothing better my book and a cup of tea which I do each morning and evening


I love nothing better and make sure I have something to eat in the morning. I can't function on an empty stomach and it can be a bowl of cereal some days, we had waffles this week too, with Chocolate Spread and Maple Syrup and often my son loves Scrambled egg on toast. 

There was a time I'd skip breakfast and not eat until midday. Mainly when I was working at a holiday camp because I wouldn't eat until the first shift of the day was be over and couldn't stomach food and  I did lose a lot of weight for while as I was moving more than what I was eating and drinking alcohol, a lot of the time and binge drinking is not a good idea.

So now I will fuel myself when I get up in the morning to kick start my day and it has made a huge difference to my lifestyle, my word for 2025 and function better day by day. I feel like my life is on the up.

Yes there will be I am sure more rocky roads still, but it is all about living and not allow the rocky roads to slip you up and get back on my feet no matter life throws at me. There are daily issues can affect us, like the bus not turning up, that you had planned to ride on, your child gets sick or someone has died. 

It gives me more reason why the little things, like a nice breakfast become part of your lifestyle to help still have faith, in my life and not allow unplanned events stop me in my tracks. 

You do have to live for each day, as who knows what is around the corner. 

It also means I get to have breakfast with my son as he has lunch at school and dinner aswell and good for him to have a stable family unit and when I was a kid we always ate together and it is good to end the day with a good meal that fills us up and chat about the day we've all had. 

So now it is Sunday and due to go to work soon my son wants to play football in the garden and just made a cup of tea. There is no such thing about resting when you become a parent as my son could play all day and all night.

Many thanks for reading,

Why I love baths

Image
Just had a lovely bath with Himalaya Salts and feel so refreshed. No this is not an advert, I just love that I have baths instead of showers now. I been listening to a Podcast and listened to one by Ken Bruce, Greatest Hits Radio with Elkie Brooks and singer I grew up listening to as my dad would play her songs.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhyn1WSGhXQ I don't have baths everyday, but every other day and alternate with my son, so he has a bath one evening and I have a bath the next evening and is my time I like to spend. Yes I do get disturbed being a parent, when in the bath. I am sure you can resonate, if you to are a parent too. There was a time where I'd have showers and I do at the weekend, but love having soak to relax and recuperate.  What do you prefer bath or shower? Please put down in the comment box below.  As I walk a lot, I like to allow my body to recover and some do ice baths. This has become a trend and seen on Instagram of celebrities getting ont...

Spending a day on the sofa

Image
Today took me a while to wake up and always happens this time of year, autumn 2024 and I have been active, did a walk on the treadmill and now going to spend the day on the sofa.  I find this time I have to myself, whilst my son is at school to be chilled and peaceful as my son is so energetic that it is can be a shock to wake up early and so have time to work on blogs, have a nice lunch in between and tomorrow going to go out and to have a coffee, do some writing in a coffee shop and go to B&M, which is now one of my favourite stores.  However, today it is me watching a bit of Youtube, catching up on my google blogs and other blogs I write on Wordpress, along with working on a book I am writing and going through emails.  Of course I do need to dry up from Breakfast, but will do this once it gets closer to lunch and hydrate and then get back on the couch and do some more on my laptop and may catch up on some TV.  Well that lasted. As my husband just popped in, wh...

Having a Coffee and a Mince Pie

Image
It is less than 19 days before Christmas and luckily I have only two more gifts to buy and then there is the food and already got items to drink and not going to drink the whole day but as we get nearer and afterwards too and looking forward to a chill out day.  My son decorating his tree We have our decorations up and not bought anything as we have quite a bit and put the Christmas tree into my sons room as we have no space in the Living room and he was very pleased, because he had decorated it all by himself.  As I write this blog I am having a coffee with a Mince Pie and why I wanted to write this post as Christmas is about not worrying about weight or feeling guilty but enjoyment and something I have to have when it is Christmas time. It wouldn't be the same if I didn't. I feel it is going to be a good Christmas with no expectations, but having food and drink that I don't have for the rest of the year and music too.  Watching a bit of TV and what I miss about not havi...
