If you didn’t know what she’d been doing just a few hours before this photo, I don’t think you’d ever guess. ❤️

This is me and my mum at a family meal… just hours after she’d finished her 4th chemo session.

And I just wanted to take a minute to say how unbelievably proud I am of her.

When we first heard the words breast cancer and chemotherapy, I think we all imagined what the months ahead might look like. There have obviously been difficult bits, and I’m certainly not going to pretend any of this is easy.

But look at her. ❤️

Four sessions in and here she is, out for a family meal, smiling, laughing and very much still being Mum.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and amongst all the awareness posts, pink ribbons and reminders to check ourselves, I wanted to share something positive too.

Cancer is scary. Chemo is scary. But there can still be really lovely, completely normal moments right in the middle of it all.

And right now, I’m just incredibly grateful for those moments — and incredibly proud of her. ❤️

Four down, Mum. Keep going. 💪💕

My ability to walk past Christmas pyjamas is already questionable… then they made them THIS cute. 😭🎄

Winnie the Pooh Christmas PJs with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger AND Eeyore. 🥹

And the prices?!
Adults £8.
Kids £7.

Absolutely dangerous information. 😂🙈

Are you a matching Christmas PJs family or absolutely NOT? 👀

Apparently I’ve decided to become autumn in human form. 😂🍂

New hair ✔️
Copper tones ✔️
Mickey & Minnie pumpkin patch T-shirt ✔️
Autumn nails ✔️

I think we can safely say I’ve committed to the season. 😂🎃

Also… it’s nearly the weekend and I am VERY ready for it.

Hands up if you’re ready for the weekend too! 🙋‍♀️😂

I rescued him… and then immediately wondered if I shouldn’t have. 😬

My instinct this morning was just to fix everything.

Phone on charge. Clothes in the dryer. Teenager woken up. School trip saved. 😂

But he’s 15. He’s in his final year of school and, realistically, he SHOULD be able to take responsibility for getting himself up and out of the house when he needs to.

And that’s the bit I’m struggling with.

Because obviously I’m his mum. If I can see he’s about to mess up, every part of me wants to step in and help.

But if I always step in… when does he learn?

Parenting teenagers is such a strange balance between “I’ve got you” and “you need to figure this one out yourself.”

And apparently at 5:30 this morning I had absolutely no idea which one I was supposed to choose. 🙈

So genuinely — what would you have done? Woken him and sorted everything like I did, or let him wake up and deal with the consequences?

Apparently putting out one pumpkin and calling it “Halloween decor” isn’t an option in this house. 😂🎃

The living room has officially had its Halloween transformation and, unsurprisingly, Disney has taken over.

Mickey pumpkins, Halloween bits everywhere and suddenly the room I was telling you to ignore at the beginning looks VERY different. 🙈

I absolutely love decorating for this time of year, but apparently my version of “just putting a few Halloween bits out” has absolutely no chill. 😂

And yes… I’m fully aware it’s only the beginning of October.

Be honest — are you already decorated for Halloween or do you think I’m ridiculously early? 👀🎃

After YEARS of being represented by some very pretty toilets… MY GIRL FINALLY HAS HER OWN RIDE. 😭😂💜

If you know me, you’ll know Rapunzel is my favourite Disney princess, so I was ridiculously excited to finally experience her very own attraction at Disneyland Paris.

And visually? It’s BEAUTIFUL. 😍

The lanterns, the colours, the boats, the little details everywhere… I could quite happily have stood there taking it all in for far longer than necessary. 😂

Now, do I wish the actual ride itself was a little more thrilling?

Yes. 🙈😂

But honestly, I don’t even care. After years of Rapunzel’s main Disneyland Paris representation basically being a Tangled-themed toilet area, I’ll happily take the fact that she finally has an attraction of her own!

Although now I’ve got greedy…

Disney, can we have the Snuggly Duckling next please? 👀😂

Which Disney character deserves their OWN attraction but doesn’t have one yet? I feel like there could be some very strong opinions on this one!

Please tell me other people find their own stupid jokes this funny too. 😂

Opened the bread and genuinely thought, “Ooh… you’re looking a bit slimmer.”

Turns out it’s just been absolutely flattened in the bag.

But once my brain had made the connection, there was no going back…

Apparently even the bread’s been on Mounjaro. 😭😂

The saddest part is I found this WAY funnier than I probably should have. I’ve basically been entertaining myself with a squashed loaf of bread.

Honestly, this is the sort of groundbreaking content you can expect around here. 🙈

Please tell me I’m not the only one who makes themselves laugh at completely ridiculous things? 😂

Half term entertainment that doesn’t involve another expensive day out? I’m listening. 😂🙌

I spotted these Disney Halloween dough party packs in Home Bargains today and obviously one character option wasn’t enough… so Stitch, Mickey & Minnie AND the Princesses all came home with me. 🙈

Each pack has 20 little individual dough bags inside, which I thought would be brilliant for keeping the kids entertained over half term, a Halloween activity or even splitting up for Halloween party bags. 🎃

And being Disney makes them approximately 472% cuter. Obviously. 😂

Now I just need to decide whether I’m sensible and put them away until half term… or open them immediately. 👀

Would your kids enjoy these?

I have SO many questions… and I need the charity shop experts to weigh in here. 😂

You know when you spot something and initially think, “Ooh, that’s actually quite a good find!”…

…and then you look a little closer. 😳

It’s a genuine Disney mug. It’s cute. I probably would’ve picked it up myself under different circumstances.

But THIS?

I just need to know who looked at it and thought, “Yep, straight on the shelf.” 😂🙈

Maybe I’m being fussy. Maybe there’s a secret second-hand mug cleaning technique I don’t know about.

Would you buy it and give it a good clean, or are you leaving this one firmly on the shelf? 👀

New sofa day and I think I’m christening it correctly. 😂

I am absolutely FREEZING today, so I’ve wrapped myself in approximately 47 layers, grabbed a blanket and I’m currently testing out just how snuggly the new sofa is.

Verdict so far: VERY. 😂❤️

But genuinely, I’m feeling incredibly grateful today. This sofa was such an unexpected kindness from my neighbour and every time I look at it I still can’t quite believe she bought it for me. 🥹

I’ve been changing so much in the house lately and it finally feels like everything is coming together and becoming properly ours.

So today’s plans may have been slightly derailed by the fact that I really don’t want to get off it. 🙈

Important question though… how long am I allowed to use “new sofa” as an excuse to sit here doing absolutely nothing? 😂
