Welcome!

Hi and Welcome to my new blog.

I'm fairly new at this although I did try it a few years ago, I enjoy writing and so thought I would try again.

I'll start with a little about myself - I'm married...have a 8 year old little girl who makes me laugh everyday. I have two sisters, one older and one younger..so yes I'm the middle one. I have an older brother who lives in Birmingham and he has 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl). I moved to Yorkshire when I got married 14 years ago, and although I am proud of being a brummy, I would never move back. I love Yorkshire.

I lost my father in 2004 to a brain tumor. My mum now lives in Yorkshire and has been struggling with memory problems which are currently under investigation by a Neurologist. My husband, Jim's parents also live in Yorkshire and are also suffering the affects of old age, however I love them all the same and have a fabulous relationship with them. In fact, my father in law is very much a Victor Meldrew type, and makes me laugh everyday! I promise to share the funny stories.

Life isn't easy...I have health issues including Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnosed at a very early age, I'm not in anyway a motherly type person, suffered with depression in the past and still take sanity pills. I work part time and run a small business from home - my way of keeping myself sane. I'm a long standing Slimming World member and will often refer to my weight loss journey..I am a Sugar Holic and having lost 2 stone since July 15, determined to carry on and get to target this year!

I hope to cover all types of topics in my blog including religion, life in general, the strange world of addiction, dieting and anything funny that happens.

I hope to share sad moments, intimate life moments and the moments that just make you laugh. I intend to share pictures and video's where possible, but I am conscience of keeping peoples anonymity so will do what I can.

I would love to hear your comments and thoughts.
