I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirr I feel foggy today - I have so many thoughts whirring in my head about lockdown, being a mum, work, even Instagram. They're overlapping and crashing into each other and over me so much that I don't get a minute to come up for air. 

Unexplainable anxious thoughts drizzle over me daily, and I can't figure out why I feel the way that I feel??

I love what I'm posting on here at the moment - I have absolutely no idea where I fall, but I like what I share and I'm constantly fighting myself over whether it's what others want to see vs what I enjoy, but luckily I seem to be winning that battle, even if it's not what people care about.

Right now I can't find a minute to finish any task - not even the small things, and I keep shooting myself reminders that I need to soak all of this time up but I also need a few seconds to breathe because all of this, everything, is SO full on. 

It's all so confusing? I don't know, maybe I need to write a list, perhaps the fog will clear a bit then - but here's a carousel of completely unrelated photos I've taken that I like. ✨
Happy 1st March 💐! Taking inspiration from @the Happy 1st March 💐! Taking inspiration from @theleoparduk's list of lockdown joys, here's what I'm looking forward to in Spring: iced coffees, hanging the washing out on the line, blue skies, bright flowers, golden hour light through our bedroom window, the first BBQ of the year, lighter evenings and pink skies, no coats, a teeny tiny tan, sandals, Easter chocolate. 🌚

I rode the wave anyway; stayed in bed while Casey napped, watched The Office, ate a lot of chocolate, forced myself to go for a walk, thinking that some fresh air would help but I couldn't shift the tears or the heavy weight sat on my chest. 
It wasn't until I stuck some music on and found a set of bubbles for the kids that we stood in the kitchen for a little bit before dinner, just, blowing bubbles and popping them. 

Just a small, simple thing but it helped clear the cloud a little bit. I don't know if it'll help next time but I keep trying to remind myself that it does pass - we're allowed days like this. ✨

It's one we've done over a few times, due to either damage or just the simple fact that she's getting older and we want the room to reflect that. This is by far my favourite change and I think it adds so much - follow my home account for more: @sixtytwoonthegrove

The ‘JAN BAN’ – Starting as I mean to go on

This wasn’t a post planned in my content calendar but it seemed quite apt as the first one of 2017!

Last month, one of my best friends, Megan, and I decided that we wanted to do a January spending ban. A tough feat by all accounts, and on, now DAY 2, it’s proving incredibly difficult. Yes… that is the true extent of my problem.
I don’t know if anyone will agree or even possibly take the piss out of this, but to honour my NY goals – IDGAF; shopping gives me genuine JOY. Whether it be online or in store, I find it exhilarating being able to add my card details to the pay form, clicking ‘PURCHASE’ and having it arrive a few days later. Admit it, you guys – you feel the  s a m e.

And with that… there goes thousands of pounds that I spend so frivolously and it builds up and up until I count exactly what it is that I’ve bought (food included) and it amounts to nothing, really. If I was able to have money spare at the end of the month, it would be a bloody miracle, but I’ve found that I physically cannot go into town just to window shop; I ALWAYS come back with something, otherwise it’s completely pointless to me. Recently, I’ve also started getting MAJOR buyer’s guilt, and I know it’s partly because we’re buying our first house this year. It’s etching ever closer and if I don’t get my spending in order, I am in for one hell of a ride.

It seems so silly really, in the grand scheme of things. I got so many lovely gifts on Christmas Day, yet I was up early on Boxing Day, scrolling through all the sales (and I definitely bought stuff too), and then it hit me. I felt so ungrateful for what I’d been given, like it wasn’t good enough so I had to continue to spend spend spend until I felt satisfied. Now I’m not saying everyone feels like this, if you want to treat yourself then you do you gurl, but it was just a personal feeling.

With that being said, I wanted this to be a start of something. I am INCREDIBLY stubborn, and of all the people to know this it’s my boyfriend Adam who will, lovingly might I add, tell me that I won’t do something just to encourage me to do it, because he knows I hate proving people right about negative aspects about myself. So… I’m gonna prove him wrong.

I’m going to get through this JAN BAN without any frivolous spending.
I’m going to use it as a catalyst to really think about what I need to spend my money on.
I’m going to make outfits with what I already have, not just to post about, but because it’s a necessary piece in my wardrobe.
And I’m going to have money left over at the end of each month, as a result.

Now, wish this complete and utter shopaholic good luck.
