Hey guys, hope you are all doing well today? It’s almost 3 o’clock
on Wednesday so we are almost over that hump now and on the slide towards the
weekend.
I haven’t been feeling very well this week. I get random little bouts of sinusitis that I
tend to get every few weeks. I have been
getting them since I had glandular fever about 5 years ago, and I was told that
the virus made my immune system super sensitive and it attacks basically
everything that it doesn’t like which in turn makes me feel poorly. When I get the sinusitis it tends to only
last for 3 or 4 days and I never get very ill, I just seem to get very
congested and have a high temperature and generally feel run down. I just hate it because it does affect my
productivity and mood, but I know it will pass son enough and there are worse
things that I could have to live with.
Putting feeling unwell aside, I actually had a very nice
weekend. I stayed with my sister on
Friday night at her house in London and had a nice girlie evening watching Goggle-box
and Children in need. On Saturday we
went Wedding dress shopping for her and we found ‘The One’. I wasn’t expecting to actually feel that
moved by her choosing a dress but I found it very emotional. I absolutely adore the dress that she chose,
and I think I knew as soon as I saw her in it that I thought it was made for
her and that she looked like a perfect Disney princess in it. It is definitely a very special moment being
there when somebody chooses the dress to say their ‘I Do’s’ in, so if you haven’t ever been wedding dress
shopping with somebody and you get the opportunity, then go for it.
On Sunday I had a complete chill out day just catching up on
TV. My Dad was out for the whole day so
it was nice to have the place to myself.
One thing that I am still getting used to with moving from living on my
own to living with somebody is how rare it is to get full day’s to
yourself. I caught up on X Factor in the
morning which I am really loving this year.
I really like Che, Louisa and Lauren and I was really obsessed with
Monica so I was gutted to see her go. I
am still not really sure why the public didn’t take to her because we normally
like very down to earth people, but I think it is hard for the contestants in
the early stage of the competition to get their personalities across in very
short VT clips.
On Sunday afternoon it was time for me to catch up on
something that I have been putting off for a while – watching ‘The Fire’
episodes of Neighbours. If you don’t watch
Neighbours then this won’t interest you at all, so apologies for that. I am literally so obsessed with Neighbours
that whenever there is a big episode coming up where people might get hurt or
will be in danger, I generally have to psych myself up to watch it. I put my brave pants on Sunday and watched
the episodes, and although there was a lot of drama during those episodes I was
relieved that nobody died. I thought my
heart might burst when Tyler told Paige that he has been secretly in love with
her, I feel like I have been waiting the whole of the year for Tyler and Paige
to just get together already!
As well as not being very well, this week has been a little
bit stressful because I have been helping a friend who is going through a
difficult time in her relationship. It’s
been around three years since I broke up with my ex and during 2015 I suddenly
found closure on the whole situation after three painful years of working
things through. Even though a lot of
time has passed since the break-up, I still find other people’s relationship
problems very triggering, but I still want to help people that I care
about. When you have been in a situation
where you have walked away from a horrible relationship and never gone back,
and ultimately survived it all, you just want to tell people who are being
messed around to do the same, but you have to put yourself back in that
position and remember how hard you found it to get the strength to walk
away. I guess what I find difficult
about helping people with their relationship problems is the amount of time you
spend giving advice and helping them, only for them to listen to none of it and
just gloss over everything once their partner apologises and tells them what
they want to hear. I think what I try to
remember is that it is only my job to be a supportive friend and that the
relationship is on its own path and that my friend has to learn her own
lessons, just like I had to three years ago.
When I see other people’s relationship drama’s it does make
me feel very glad that I am no longer in a stressful relationship that is full
of anxiety and tension. I guess what I am
trying to say is, that at the moment I am glad I am single!
Thanks for listening! xxx
