Facebook detox

So I had a little moment of reality the other day... a sort of WAKE up call that I needed..... It's been really hard to admit but I think I'm finally ready.

Hello. My name is Martha and I am a Facebookaholic.

I think I speak for many of us, if like me you have a relaxing soak in the bath only to be stressed that you almost drop your phone in the bath whilst scrolling, or you are sitting sobbing into your cereal because you've opened a video of a solider coming back from service to a happy dog/child.... you get what I mean. It's taking over my life... my early nights used to mean bed early and sleep... not bed early and see what everyone is up too. My moment of clarity came when my sister text me this...

I am not proud of this... it was funny though! So for that reason, I am logging out today and going to playgroup to have real conversations and hot tea!

Thank you for reading.

Does size really matter??

So with a title like that I've got your dirrrrty little attention.... may I remind you this a 'clean' blog (apart from baby sick/poop etc). So let me explain.... So these last few weeks I have finally been introduced to the great big world of ebay don't ask how it's taken me so long to discover it, I think it's paranoia on my part, that someone is going to hack me or not send me goods and bill me for millions. But I finally plucked up enough courage over christmas and ordered a few items for Edyth (mainly cheap character clothing that doesn't fit) and that went well.... So the time has come to update my shakers in my puppet show.... I decided a few maracas would do the trick and saw these for sale.....

They looked colourful, fun and were made out of plastic so thought they would be cheap and cheerful! Me being me I just clicked 'buy now' and felt chuffed with myself. I even bragged to Mamgu that she should get some for her show... and then they arrived.

After the initial laughter, I decided it's time to concentrate whilst on ebay... and never drink and shop! Edyth loves the little shakers though so it's not all bad. So in answer to my question: does size really matter?? the answer is YES!

Thanks again for reading. see you all again soon.

P.S I have reordered some more suitable ones now, just waiting on the month long expected delivery time! wish me luck! hopefully my love/hate relationship with Ebay will not continue!

DISNEYLAND PARIS!!

SO the time has come that my Princess is going to meet the other Princess' of the world in disneyland paris !!! We are soooo excited!!! This little holiday is a chance for my mother (Mamgu), Edyth, Edwyn and myself to really bond over 5 days of DISNEY. I may puke I'm so excited... I may also puke at the sight of DINSEY by the time we get there!

My Mam, who from now onwards in this blog will be called Mamgu (welsh for grandmother) which is what she has gone by for the last 10 years.. decided it was time for Edyth to shine and we booked DISNEY!! We are off in March and we are staying in the Disneyland hotel which was Mamgu's choice as it was like the princess castle that Edyth has dreamed about! Edyth is literally going to pee herself in excitement when she sees everything!!

So the countdown has began, and Edyth has decided to start packing her things to go. (it is still only January.... ) I thought I'd check to see what 'essentials' she has popped in her bag.... it's fair to say I'm going to have a tough time with this one.....

Here it is mam... the most important toy!

My purse.. of course!

 So after I looked I decided to smile and let her get on with it... Funny though she was adamant she was all packed and ready to go.... I asked her what about her knickers and bathers and stuff to wear... and she replied, you can sort the boring stuff mammy.... I love this little girl sooo much.. she cracks me up so much!




If any of you have been to DISNEYLAND PARIS and have any tips or must sees then please comment so we do not miss anything!!

Right I'm off to bed now, to wake up to another "not today baby, but soon" conversation. Thanks for reading, see you again soon hopefully.

I have a confession....

Ok so I have a confession to make..... I hold my hands up very high to admit..... I did not complete the 'Dry January' in fact, I failed so hard that I actually believe I consumed more alcohol in January than I would have if I hadn't been attempting to be DRY. I know I am soooooo lame.

Oh well, what can I say.... I have good friends who believed that I was coming to the pub to drink lemonade. I sat down at the table and they were all happy for me, until I told them I was just taking my coat off and when I came back to the table with booze they didn't judge me they just laughed!

It was a friends birthday after all...and the time before that I was on holiday in Bluestone... and the time before that.... you get the picture... I LIKE WINE and I have small children!

Maybe I'll try again next year.... well done to everyone who has done it, but not this year for me, I did 9 months last year!!

Thanks for reading... keep in touch xx

The little things in life.....

So now I'm the big 30 I get excited about different things than I used to when I was say 21, 19 or anything pre- children.... now when Edwyn goes poop before bed, I get excited because I think I may get some rest... or if Edyth doesn't have a melt down in Asda... it's thrilling.

My latest moment of ecstasy was the ordering of my new 4 SLICE TOASTER!!!! No more waiting around for the extra two slices or trying to be clever and popping them under the grill and having hard toast!! This is it.... this is what life is all about..... QUALITY TOAST! This is the beauty I have ordered and am eagerly awaiting De'Longhi Toaster

I even managed to persuade my mother to order one (mostly to get free delivery for orders over £50 from John Lewis ) and because I toast a lot over her house too! (and I love the smell of toast, it makes my mouth water). 

Once I receive my new best friend I will post a small review, with what my mother thinks too. I already know that #johnlewis customer services are brilliant, that is why I usually order my electrical goods from there... the two year guarantee is very attractive too!! 

Thanks again for reading, it's been lovely having you :)

Dry January

Hello again. I thought I would make it official by writing it down for everyone to see. Anyone who knows me knows how painful this is to write.... I am officially going to be DRY for January.

Well not until Feb!

 

So before any of you ask.... no I am not pregnant again!!

Wish me luck!! You can find out more at Dry Jan.... #detox join me!!! xx

I'm new to this

I am totally new to this whole blogging thing and I'm not even sure how this works.... or even where the word Blog comes from or what it means, But I do enjoy reading other people's 'blogs' so I've decided to put my thoughts down for the whole world to see... please excuse spelling and grammar it will be painful in parts.

A little about me... I am have been married to my wonderful husband Scott for a year this Christmas Eve (together 9 years.... don't get me started!!). We have two beautiful children; Edyth (3years) and Edwyn (9 months), who are my WHOLE world and will no doubt play a heavy part of future blogs.. And I am self employed puppeteer, a job which I love! Here are some photos;

Thanks for reading and I hope your not too bored!! You can find out more about my business at  Georgie Porgie Puppets .... I'm off to Bluestone next week if my van gets fixed so I will post plenty of photos of our trip away.

Goodnight x
