Why I don't do Facebook

I read a piece in glamour magazine about dawn o'porter  not wanting her friends to come off Facebook because she might have to try and spend more time with them in real life, time which she doesn't have, and that is a fair point.
But I will still never have a Facebook account. Don't get me wrong I did have one, but about 4 years ago I made the decision to delete my profile (not gonna lie it was partly to do with my fellas ex messaging me every day about why I shouldn't be with him.....we are now married btw ) but it was also partly to do with how it was taking over my life.
I did try it again about a year ago but after a week of constantly checking for updates and being 'that person' who checked every Facebook cliché list there is- I posted food, cute status' about my relationship, angry status' about mates who were just not worth it anymore etc- and seeing pictures of people's kids constantly or reading about how people were falling out with their mates over nothing (but not actually writing the name of these people- ' OMG some people are so two faced if you have sumat  to say say it to me face cos I will just find out what you're saying about me' or 'eeeeh  some people should keep out of my business you don't know what you're talking about' etc) and honestly it just got depressing.
The first thing I did waking up was check Facebook in case I missed something during the 5 hours I was asleep for, I would check on my breaks and on my way home and before bed. It got annoying and pointless.
So I deleted it for the last time and haven't looked back since. I live my life and it hasn't been made any worse since I stopped finding out every detail about other people's lives!!

Now twitter....Twitter I love!!

Pregnancy update

If you didn't already know, I am pregnant with my first child :-)
The first few months were awful and I spent the entire days throwing up, I couldn't hold anything down not even water and I felt so ill!
But now I am 20 weeks and I'm only being sick once a day so I'm happy :-)

I have a bump now, my colleagues think I expanded over the weekend!and now people know I'm pregnant rather than just assuming I'm getting a bit fat which is always good!
I have started reading to my baby as it is what my mam did when pregnant with me and my sister,  and we turned out really well! I only read children's stories though,I know the baby can't understand what I'm reading yet but it would just feel wrong to read books like fifty Shades of grey to a baby! Hubby  has also started talking to the baby so when she is born she will recognise her dad's voice, it's actually really cute except when all he does is sing Liverpool football songs!

Baby has been kicking for 4 weeks now, sometimes it feels a little uncomfortable  because of where she is lying but mostly I love to feel her move as then I know she is still happy and healthy in there ☺

We are thinking about having a 4d  scan when I'm 27 weeks pregnant to find out the gender as she wouldn't open her legs during the 20 week scan so the scanner could only guess!

I think that is everything sofar ☺

If you don't want people gossiping...don't do anything worth gossiping about!

There's a married woman at work who has been sleeping with a man at work since before she got married. Everyone knows about it, her husband knows about it, and the man at work got drunk and told everyone about it on a night out.
At my work people like to gossip, people have gossiped about me and not even got their facts right but I take it in my stride because it's part of life really, everyone- whether they admit it or not- loves to talk about other people's lives. I don't mean in a nasty way,just general talk to pass the boredom of the day
This married woman apparently doesn't like to be talked about, and has in the past even gone as far as to report anyone who mentions her and this man  to management so they get a disciplinary.
What I want to know is how can someone get a disciplinary for merely mentioning that she is seeing this man, who admitted it? It's not slander as it's true, it wasn't said maliciously and no harm came to anyone and everyone knows about the situation anyway.
This married woman talks about other people, and even spreads rumours sometimes so how can she get mad when people talk about her?

My point is of you don't want to be gossiped about don't have an affair with someone at work, especially one who will tell everyone about it.

Russell Eaton haircut

I'm not going to lie, I have been neglecting my hair a bit lately, I have needed it cutting for...oh...about three months! But I'm very particular with where I have my hair cut and I just haven't been able to get there lately.  Usually i go back to my parents and get my hair cut at my old hairdressers there, but as it is about a 2 hour drive away on the motorway it had been a bit difficult lately! So after becoming so annoyed with my hair my lovely hubby booked me an appointment at Russell Eaton.
A lot of the girls I work with have told me how amazing it is there so I agreed to go and I am so glad I did!
From the minute I walked through the door I was made to feel special (despite being a sweaty mess after walking up a hill while pregnant in the snow), and I was offered a drink as was my hubby. We did have a little bit of a wait but it wasn't too bad and they did apologise.
I was offered a complimentary head massage (which was amazing and honestly I could have married the girl!) And then taken to have my hair washed. The girl who washed my hair (I don't know her name) was amazing and even that felt like a massage! They take their time so you know that they are doing a really good job (I had washed my hair that morning so I know it wasn't dirty).
Most hairdressers I have been to try to do everything quickly, basically wanting to get your money and get you out as soon as possible but here it is like they actually care about you and your hair!
I wanted a complete restyle back to the way it was about two years ago and my hair dresser spent about 5 minutes discussing the new style with me and deciding what would look best before starting.
When she had finished and my hair had been dried, I can honestly say I have never seen my hair looking so amazing! Altogether it took about an hour to have my hair washed and cut, and you could tell the difference!
I will be going there from now on, and I have never been made to feel so special and taken care of from a hairdressers before so I want to say a massive thank you to Russell Eaton!

Being a ps4 widow

I don't know about you but when I moved in with my fella (and then married him) I was expecting regular massages, weekends in bed, meals being cooked for me, and all the lovely stuff I see on movies (I know I should know better but I grew up with Disney films).
I'm not gonna lie at first it was fab, but fast forward 18 months and I have to schedule time with my fella (never a full day...His ps4 can't take the time away from him)!! I am officially a football/ps4 widow.
I know I'm not the only one, one of the lads he plays gta 5 with online has a 2 month old daughter that he doesn't spend time with cos he would rather be doing 'missions' with his 'crew'. I'm not gonna lie and say I understand it, cos I don't, and I know that when my baby arrives if my fella so much as looks at the ps4 when he should be spending time with baby I will throw the game out the window and run over it :-)
I even got naked once to see how long it would take him to realise...half an hour if anyone's interested!! And even then it was a cursory glance and kiss of certain parts and then back to his game!!
But I will admit that I wouldn't change him for the world and scheduling time in is still better than living alone and being scared of every noise!!
