A wedding to remember


Just over a week ago, I was very lucky to be part of an important day, a day that had been postponed twice, it was my Dad's wedding day.

I am not going to lie, my emotions were all over the place leading up to the day and during too. I am so happy that my Dad has found some to be happy with and to look after him but it obviously brought Mum back up and the idea that she is no longer with us.


The day started off with a lot of stress trying to get us all ready with hair, make up and making sure I had everything (which I didn't). Heading to Dad and Angie's house, piled up with outfits, cakes and bags. My emotions started the moment I saw my Dad, the feeling of him getting married was becoming real and exciting, he asked me to fit his button hole, which made me feel very proud. 

Getting dressed up was nice, I never really have a reason to do so and it made it feel all the more special, we all had little tasks while we waited for the transport to arrive and as you can see the transport didn't disappoint, we were going in style.

The bus journey was crazy and memorable, with Angie waving at everyone and us cheering and singing 'The Bride on the bus says I do'. The amount of waves and cheers she got was incredible and I think calmed everyone's nerves.

       

The ceremony was beautiful and funny, the lady conducting it was amazing. Dad looked so nervous sitting at the alter. The moment his eyes fell upon Angie his emotions hit him which in turn got to me too. The two flower girls, one being Lilly looked absolutely beautiful and both did as they were told, Lils said she felt like a princess.

I was also privileged to be asked to be a whiteness for them. Olivia was so well behaved during the ceremony and barely made a noise, she was just happy to be waving at everyone around her, then making making slight noise with the ring boxes. 


The speeches were a little harder to get through as Mum was mentioned along with Angie's husband who she sadly lost a couple of years before Mum passed. There were tears shed but also a lot of laughter too.

The food was so tasty, and they had a great variety, Dad and Angie also hired a photobooth which was such a fun idea to have, I have some really cool unique photos which made our evening more memorable. The first dance was beautiful and I just watched as Dad sang to Angie and dance. It was a incredible day and one I certainly won't forget in a hurry. 

A huge congratulations to Angie, my new step Mum and Dad

My mental health

 I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
