Blood Brothers the Musical | White Rock Theatre Hastings

Wednesday this week was a big night for me, it was my first night out since having kids, yes I mean kids, I have not had a night out on my own since before I had Lilly just because I haven't had anywhere to go. Well this week I have an invite to join my friend to watch the Blood Brothers musical.

This is a musical that has been part of my life since secondary school and one that I feel deeply impacted by, it has a huge place in my heart and I believe that its a very underrated musical.

It tells a tail of two twins who were separated at birth through a binding contract between the mother and her employer, there is a prophecy that looms over which says that if they ever find out they will die. The musical goes through there life where situations keep drawing them back together until a fateful day where they do found out the truth.

It's such a powerful and emotional musical with incredible songs that last with you for at least the rest of the week if not a lifetime. The cast for this specific performance were amazing, both actors who played Eddie and Mickey, the twins were the best I have seen and the singing voice of Mrs Johnstone was incredible.

If the Blood Brothers musical tour comes anywhere near you I would highly recommend you take a visit.

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.
