30 day blog challenge-Day 30- Who are you?

The simple answer to this question is, I don't know. I'm still trying to find out myself. I have a long battle with depression which might mean that I might never know who I am. When people comment about me I wonder if they are talking about the same person as me. I don't feel like the person they describe. Through blogging I hoped that I could feel free and write about what I wanted to. But, I still find that there is a barrier of mistrust with some people.
I would like to thank Imy. Her post today made me think about things. Regrets
I wrote a comment out about my biggest regret but couldn't go ahead and publish it. Thank you Imy. Love you loads.
Maybe one day I will.

Please feel free to comment on your thoughts as to what or who you feel I am.

30 day blog challenge-Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned

This is a tricky one for me. From my opinion I learn a lot from all everyday experiences. I have made quite a few friends through twitter lately that has brought out a new side in me that hasn't been free for a while. For this, I thank them.
I have learnt to love blogging. When on tumblr I felt like I was talking to myself. But on here I can see that people like to read what I blog. (couldn't tell you why, it's just me either ranting, letting off steam or blogging with excitement). But thank you for reading. It makes me happy to see good stats. If you would like to comment on why you read my blog, then please feel free to post below and give me an insight.
Many thanx
:)

30 day blog challenge-Day 28- Apicture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

This photo was taken last May, just before i joined Slimming World. In the last year, I have lost 4 stone in weight.

This photo was taken this June at my Best friend's wedding.  I have loads more energy, and can chase after the kids now.

30 day blog challenge-Day 27- Why are you doing this 30 day challenge

Why am I doing this 30 day challenge? That is a very good question.
I started to do it on tumblr. But then I got bored with tumblr. I was annoyed with myself that I never got to finish the challenge as I really wanted to do the day where you put your iPod on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that played.
I think it gives readers the chance to see little quirky things about the author. I know I like reading people's blogs when they do these challenges.

30 day blog challenge-Day 26- What you think about your friends

My friends are fab. I have a few close friends who I would die for and I love them to bits. I have my twitter friends, who some I would like to meet someday, and others that I can't wait to meet in November. You know who you are. :)
I have some friends who I would love to spend more time with but due to our various commitments never have any spare time to.
Friends are very precious, and the special ones are the ones that if you could choose your family, you would pick them.

Now I'm not going to go into too much detail on this one as I am going to be doing a guest blog for Imy on Imy's world
This is going to be a part of the

30 day blog challenge-Day 21- A picture of something that makes you happy

A picture of something that makes you happy. Now some people will think this is very sad, but something that makes me happy is..........



Yes, my Filofax, Marco. I like making notes and making plans. I have all sorts of information I need in here and things I need to remember. If I have somewhere to write and doodle, then I'm happy.

30 day blog challenge-Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them

Mmm. This is a strange one to answer. I go under two different names on Facebook. One is Fairy-Rapunzel. This came about when I first had my hair extensions put in. We had gone for lunch on mothers day and my brother in law said I looked like some fairy mythical creature. Fairy Rapunzel it was.

The second name on Facebook is Mojo-Wingwong. This one goes back nearly 15 years ago when me and my best friend were entering random competitions and were trying to think up names to enter them as. Mojo Wingwong was one that stuck and to this day I still use it.

The next nickname is Icclewu. This was a pet name given toe by my boyfriend. Iccle meaning small as I'm 5ft 4 and he is 6ft 2 and wu meaning you. So little you. Daft I know. But it has stuck and is my user name for many things.

Lanni is another nickname I have. Self explanatory really withy surname being Lannigan.


The last nickname I can think of is George. This is another name from the boyfriend and I haven't got a clue where it comes from.

30 day blog challenge-Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

I would love to swap places with my three year old daughter. Children at that age have such a fascination with the world. They are intrigued by everything and yearn to gain knowledge.
I would love to know her thought processes. Esmé is like me and is a deep thinker. What is thinking like as a three year old? How complex is it? I spend all day everyday thinking multiple things at one time. What does she think of?
The mind boggles, and I may never find out. but there is no harm in thinking about it!!

30 day blog challenge-Day 12- How you found out about this blog and why you made one

I wanted to do a blog about the things I like and love. It came about when I started talking to people on Philofaxy. They blogged about their Filofaxes and it was something I enjoyed reading, so I thought I would give it a go. I spoke to Imy on Facebook and she recommended a blog (this one) and off I went.
It turned out that I already had an account on here from when I was doing my access course. I had to blog about the human respiratory system. So I deleted that and started afresh.

30 day blog challenge- Day 11-Another picture of you and your friends

This photo was taken a month or so back when we were at a friend's 50th birthday party. It was quite a drunken night.  Not long after this photo was taken me and Becky, on the left, somehow ended up in a heap on the floor. Can't imagine how that happened. Lol

30 day blog challenge-Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

I don't have many specific songs for particular moods. I love music and always have a song in my head.
My favourite song at the minute is The adventures of raindance Maggie-Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Below are some screenshots of my favourite playlist on my iPod at the moment.








My favourite song of all time is Piano song by Erasure. I tend to listen to that when I'm feeling sad.

30 day blog challenge-Day 9- Something you're proud of in the last few days

Mmm. This is a hard one. I suppose I was quite proud of the fact that I didn't spend £50 on a bag yesterday or £100 on a jacket. They were gorgeous though. I was also proud that I didn't cry in front of anyone when Esmé went away on Monday.

30 day blog challenge- Day 8-Short term goals for this month and why

30 day blog challenge-Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

This is a photo of me and Esmé. She means everything to me and I don't know where I would be without her. We do everything together and I'm lost when she isn't with me.

30 day blog challenge-Day 03- A picture of you and your friends

This photo was taken at our end of year psychology social. It was a fantastic night. Just a pity not many lecturers turned up.

The next photo is a pic of me and my best friend Kerry.




I was chief bridesmaid at her wedding in June at Las Vegas. An awesome time was had by everyone who went.

The next photo was taken before a lecture at uni and has my lovely Boofle with us. I love this photo.



So there you have it. A photo or 3 of me and my friends.
