Your Secrets Safe With Me ……….I Wasn't Even Listening !


Day One – It’s Only The Beginning

Where do I begin with Day One, well normally I’d get up and check my Facebook Memories, then scroll through Insta looking for someone organising cupboards and shit, stuff I don’t have time to do because I’m watching someone else do theirs. Then I realise we are running late, and totally blame the kids for not moving quick enough.

So, what was I supposed to do now? I took the dog out into the garden where she decided to spin around for 5 minutes and then proceed to cover me in mud. Makes a change from watching cupboard cleaning I suppose.

I sorted the kids in record time and even had time to wash my face and organise the crazy dog for the school run, mission complete and all before 8;35 (we need to leave for 8;30) but I’m normally screaming like a fish wife, trying to get people to move from the said house and walk the half a mile or so to school. Little people just don’t move fast enough, especially on the school run.

SCHOOL RUN SORTED

Once back from the school run, I decided to pay a visit to the gym, because this fat won’t shift itself whilst I sit on the sofa watching Karen’s kicking off on Facey, besides, I like to think if I have to cry whilst doing bench presses my fat can cry too, it’s on fair.

Whilst at the gym, I completely managed to make a grown man blush and burst out laughing, by asking how I can put two things in one hole, you had to be there! I was talking about an attachment for a machine, the poor fella couldn’t and wouldn’t even look at me for the rest of my sets.

GYM COMPLETE

Next up Asda and the dreaded “I’m only popping in for bread,” 30 minutes later and what looks like a full-on food shop, with a new mop and bucket (this one spins the mop), hey I have to have some fun in this life of mine. And I now have a spinney bucket like the ones on insta, I just need to find someone to come and clean my house now, whilst I watch on my phone.

ASDA COMPLETE

I must admit the rest of my day flew, from brunch because I hate eating breakfast, to actually doing some cleaning with my new mop, and then taking the dog for a massive walk, because there’s only so much cleaning one girl can do, then home, tea and 24 thousand steps later it was time for bed.

Did I miss social media?

Not really, I’m not very social when I’m on there to be honest.

Did I manage to follow my planner?

Kind of, I drank all my water, tracked my food and managed to take my morning supplements, but the rest, well I tried and my hubs is always telling me I have a trying personality (not too sure what he means, I’m an actual delight, I just need to tell my face that sometimes).

Can I try again tomorrow, sure, because I’ve still got another 89 days to go.

See you later for Day Two!

All About little old me!

I started this blog to document my journey throughout my ‘social media’ detox, but as I love to write and share, (some say overshare), I thought I’d try and do a little more of what I love coming into 2024.

Stick with me because I will be sharing my day to day antics, and whatever else 2024 and beyond has to throw at me .
