Not So Secret Journal

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


What Day Even Is It?

Morning, firstly I apologise for the radio silence, but without my socials, I seem to have become a little more anti-social than before!

Just kidding, well where have I been? I’d like to say holidaying somewhere hot whilst having some detox sessions and indulging in some deep tissue massages, whilst sipping cocktails on a sunny beach not worrying about a single thing.

In reality, I’m busier than ever!

No, I’ve not slipped back down the rabbit hole that is watching people organise shit, I’ve actually been organising and sorting my own shit out for a change, but that’s another post in itself.

I’m even prouder to say even on day whatever it is, (I’m thinking 35), I’ve not stepped foot inside Facebook, Insta or anything that looks like its social, shops not included, because Asda and Aldi would go broke without my daily “I forgot the bread again” visits.  I’m certain the security guards are on high alert when I go in because I’m there that often.  I might become a bread and milk dealer, but without stealing it.

So, we were last seen on day 17, when the youngest one found out that indeed us women are magic, something I’ve been telling his dad for years and him not believing me, what can I say I’m always right! Something else I’ve been telling him for years, he never listens, maybe he needs to turn on his listening ears.

But what’s been happening since then?

Well in our little world, we gained a new little one, something that wasn’t planned but the best things never are.

So now we have 6 humans and 2 fur babies, to add to the not-so-secret chaos, so she has kept me on my toes for the last week, before that it’s all a bit of a blur, as I’ve not technically slept for longer than 3 hours in the last week.  I’ve sold stuff on vinted, sorted my shit out by pouring into my cup and taking more supplements to keep mummy going, because we all know when mummy gets sick the world stops. Mummy has given up going to the gym, just for a little while, whilst little miss is still little because I don’t like leaving her for too long alone. So, it’s home workouts and plenty of dog walking, with the bigger missy, as little one can’t venture out yet, besides she walks like a drunk toddler.

Outside of our not-so-secret world, apparently there was a few bank holidays, I’ve actually missed a few Facebook birthdays, so Happy Birthday if I’ve missed yours, and apparently the king had a party, was it his birthday to? There’s a blog post coming up about that too.

I promise to start keeping you updated daily, but sometimes life, kids and now dogs get in the way of life itself. I will try harder because I love keeping you all up to date.

Also, if you’re loving the blog so far be sure to share it with your friends they might love it too, we might even get an actual writing job out of this, I’ve said that for years, but a girl can dream.

I’ll be back tomorrow with some party advice for the new king.

Catch you later.

Love ya

    Aww Lena, I was thinking about you earlier and even checked about your updates. Have missed your lovely face on Facebook, but fully understand your need for the break. Can’t believe you got another puppy, can’t wait to see her.
    I’m glad you are clearing your head and your house, want to come do mine next!!!!
    Anyway, just know you have been missed, and can’t wait for further updates.
    Lots of snuggles to your littles and your puppies and to you too

All About little old me!

One woman, (she/her) Mum, Wife, Granddaughter, Daughter, Sister, Auntie and Great Auntie (yes, I am old).

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 .
