How To Survive Christmas Without A Boyfriend.

Hello everyone!
And Merry Christmas to you all!
Today, I'll be sharing my secrets to surviving christmas without a boyfriend. all my friends at the moment seem to have their 'special someone'. While I'm sitting at home in my onesie scoffing mince pies and a ton of chocolate (and of course a glass of something red) in front of the TV, my mates are on fantastic dates with handsome men, swapping funny stories and christmas presents under the mistletoe. Surely, I can't be the only one?? There are well over 7 billion people on this planet and I can't seem to find one that wants to stay. But, chin up!! Here's my five ways to survive christmas without a winter boyfriend...

1. Party with your single friends! - We all have that one friend that is a complete party animal! And what better way to spend the party season than to party!! So get that LBD (little black dress) on and those really cute kitten heels and paint the town red!!!

2. Curl up with a good book - That's right! Not only is it the season to be jolly, but it's also the season to be freezing! So shut the curtains, put on your onesie and whack out Bridget Jones's Diary!!

3. SHOPPING!! - Not all of us are organised and have all our presents under the tree by the 1st of December haha! So since there's late night shopping why not have a browse on the high street! You can pick up some lovely gifts for your friends! Me and soph actually went to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland a couple of weeks ago! Theres lovely christmas markets and food stalls to buy mulled wine and, of course, there are rides and ice skating!!!

4. Get a new pet - A few weeks ago I got a new Hamster called Cinnamon! (Call me sad but they make fantastic pets!) You'll be so busy looking after your new pet and welcoming it to your family that you won't have time to think about men!

5. Make more time for your family! - Time flies and you soon realise that It's been a month since you've seen your grantparents! Well, why not pay them a visit! Arrive with a gift (I got mine a box of Milk Tray which they LOVE) and have a nice cuppa and a chin wag. They'll be so happy just to see you! That's what christmas is all about after all. It's about spending time with the people closest to you!!

So those are my tips for enjoying christmas without a man! No need to fret! Just follow these tips and everything will work out for the best! Have a wonderful and happy Christmas everyone!!

Everyone's been there...

Everyone's been there. It's that time of your life where you don't know whats what. You don't know which way to turn. Or how. Or why. You try to figure out why things happened a certain way but its futile. You try searching for answers but instead get nowhere. Maybe I'm talking rubbish. I don't know. And maybe no-ones even reading this. But, hey, I'll just keep typing anyway. These past two years have been so hard on me. In more ways than one.
So in future, my posts will be of a slightly different nature. Not necessarily nursing. But about life in general. Because life is the most complex, confusing, and utterly surreal thing that has actually ever happened to me. So, this will be my online diary. I'll talk to you as a friend. A non-judgemental, online friend who I can be completely honest with. Right, so where exactly shall I start. I suppose I have to start somewhere.
Okay well here goes, I guess. I grew up and still live in a town in England. Still live with parents, sometimes see friends. But really my life at the moment can be summed up as this - Eat, sleep, work, repeat. Yeah, fun. Sometimes I wonder if theres more to life. I try talking to my parents about this but then the conversation always steers back to religion. And whilst don't mind religion, I just can't stand the way they shove it down my throat. Two years ago I chose a life of independence. Free from the shackles that I felt bound to. (I'll explain all this in time, I promise!!) Since then, I have one brother that tries hard to pretend I don't exist (Lets call him E) and another that I'm desparetely trying to rebuild a relationship with (and we'll call him W). I drive to an freezing cold office I work at almost everyday, filled with vacuous, self-absorbed people, every word they say having a double meaning.
Then there's the love life. which is pretty much non-existent haha.. well, I was left a bit broken hearted when the guy I'd been seeing posted a picture of himself on facebook with another girl.. since then I've been asked to move to bristol by a guy I barely know.. A newly single ex has reappeared and won't stop messaging me.. And a guy I've been talking to for a couple of weeks is suddenly talking commitment when we haven't even met face-to-face - Oh and he's in the military so he'll be leaving for Korea in a few months.. Yeah. messed up huh?
It doesn't stop there! I've got so much more to tell but I'll get to the juicy bits later! Think I've typed enough for now. But, like I say. everyone's been there. Haven't they?

Blog Hiatus

Hello readers!
...I must apologise...
I'm afraid that I won't be updating for a while. Or at least for the next few weeks I'll only be updating once-a-week-ish.
This is due to a few personal issues and for this reason, I'll have limited internet connection. SO... that means less time to post -_- I'm SO sorry.
I just want you all to know, even if i do only have one or two regular readers, i LOVE you! (: I love being able to post on here and thank you so much for regularly reading what I write.
It actually is an honor to be writing and anyone can read it. Anyone who lives ANYWHERE. it's actually amazing when you think about it.

So, yeah, I won't be living at home for a few weeks... But please continue to read my blog. I would actually appreciate ANY comments. There is no certain date when I'll be back so I could be back next week or I could be back in two months. I don't know. But keep checking back and watch this space! I WILL update but my updates will be few and far between, so sorry about that.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and I'll talk to you next time!
