Juggling is fun... catchup | daily | dailyjones | ideas | life | moving | personal | videos | vlogging | work | writing

Hi my lovelies!

Since I last posted, I haven't really had much time to myself and I feel like I'm now juggling so many things. 

I've begun to pack up our stuff and maybe a little silly of me, but I have also started daily vlogging. 

I wanted to be able to keep you all updated through this whole move process, but it's just dawned on me that we may be without the internet for a bit when we actually head down south. Doh! So I guess the vlogs will have to hiatus until will get sorted. Fingers crossed we can somehow make sure it gets turned on as we get there. 

Anywhoooo, I just wanted to check in and share the first couple of vlogs. 

Hopefully this weekend, I can actually sit down and get some proper posts written up. I'm going to try and write and film like a mad person, so there won't be a huge gap in posting whilst we move. If there is anything you would like to see, either on here, or over on YT, please let me know in the comments below. Also, if you've seen any new tags floating about, let me know about those too. I think they'll be great fillers for whilst I'm not about.

Apart from that and more box packing, all I have to look forward to is cleaning like a crazy person, freshly painting walls and laying some replacement carpet before we go. Fun. 

I hope you are all well!

Creating A Bucket List accidents | bucket list | life | personal | whenflowersfall

Hi my lovelies, 

I wasn't going to post today. You know when sometimes you just aren't feeling it? Well, I had that feeling until Liam and I popped out for a moment of fresh air. He's not been well so we just nipped down the road for a little drive. But, unfortunately for the poor people who were involved, there was some kind of accident on one of the main roads. The road is a 40mph and currently has some pretty heavy road works on them, the kind of road works that create havoc, causing people of drive like they own the road. 

I can only presume that it was some kind of car accident. We still don't know what actually happened. Thankfully we were diverted before we could see, but we did see the chopper in the field of the golf course nearby, and at least 6 or 7 emergency vehicles flashing away in the distance. 

I always feel ridiculously horrible after seeing something like that and it got me thinking. A few minutes earlier maybe, that could have been us. There's always that chance. It's one risk of driving, I guess. 

Because of this, I've decided to create a bucket list. I've been thinking about it for a couple of days, but today has just made me certain. I'd like to fulfil a few things throughout my life. Some may be really silly, some may be life changing. But all I know is, if I was told I had a week to live, I wouldn't be totally satisfied with my life. 

I may not post very often about this, but I like to think that one day I could tell you guys about something that I've crossed off my list. 

Have any of you got a bucket list? Even managed to do anything on it yet?

Let me know in the comments below what you'd include if you were to write one. I think I need some inspiration. 

I hope the people involved tonight are all ok and I also hope that you are all keeping safe. 

Love you guys.

Sam

A little tour...Bedroom bedroom | blogger | couple | girl | house | interior | liam | makeup | office | personal | room | space | storage | tour | vgtoolbox | whenflowersfall

Hey beauties,

If you are subscribed to my Youtube channel, then you may have seen that my newest video is an office tour/quick look into my make-up storage. 

As I was filming for this, I kind of had the idea to do a little room tour every so often, of each different room in my house, rather than a full on house tour video. 

The current house I'm living in is rented, so we haven't yet put paint to wall and everything is still pretty simple. I am slowly building it up with character though, so it would be good to see how our rooms change. 

The first room I decided to photograph was of course our bedroom. (It was the most tidiest at the time.)

Let me know if this is a post you guys would be interested in. I know I'm a nosy parker and absolutely love this kind of thing. 

Just in case you did miss it, here's the office tour video!

Hi my lovelies!

First off I'd like to apologise for my lack of posting, even though I know have a new laptop now, I've noticed the effect of not having one has had on WFF traffic. I feel a little down about it as there was nothing I could have done about it at the time and now unfortunately I'm finding it difficult to get motivation. That's not saying I want to give up on WFF, far from it, it's my little baby. I just feel like all my hard work for the past long few months have been undone by the unfortunate events of the last one. 

I am going to try and get back into my good old blogging routine this week as I'm trying to make a few changes in my life. One is to be more organised. This means you can all expect Monday make-up to return, and also Friday fit day will make an appearance again because this is another of my life changes.

Anywhoooo, this week I've spent a lot of time getting to know our new friends, cuddling my cats and working on this weeks DIY project. I've randomly decided I wanted to change the colour theme in my bedroom and the first port of call was the curtains. I figured it would be tons cheaper to dye them rather than buying new ones, so that's what I did. I bleached the hell out of them for four hours and then spent another 4fourdying them the amazing violet colour you see in the photos above. I was a little dubious as to how they would turn out because Dylon dye claims it may not dye over bleach stains, but it worked and I don't think it could have come out any better. :) 

Like I said, next week should be back to more of my regular blogging schedule and I hope to see more of you returning to WFF in the future. 

Hope you all have a cracking bank holiday weekend. Keep your eyes peeled on my Youtube channel, I'm thinking of vlogging the We The Kings gig. :)

My Week In Photos #002 002 | htc | instagram (ish) | life | my week | my week in photos | personal | phone | photos | picplz | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall

February Glossybox / Best Hand Knitted slippers ever! / Pancake Day!!

I want to sleep like a cat / The girls in their new favourite place / Black coffee love.

My Juicy kitten / Handmade button heart / My two neices

Unfortunately this week has been a really boring one. It's been pretty stressful and I've had a couple of panic attacks. On a brighter note though, my mum and step dad are coming to visit on Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it. Fingers crossed this week will see a little more happen. I'm planning on trying to get at least two new tutorials done. I'm thinking if I can get into the routine and I can make it an ongoing thing. 

Today (Sunday) I've spent the day cutting old photos and swapping around my frames, also collecting some inspiration for my redecorating!

I hope you have all had an awesome week? You done anything exciting?

Good Days and Bad Days.... anxiety | attacks | depression | followers | jobs | panic | panic attacks | personal | thank you | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | work

Hi Lovelies,
  So this is rather a personal post today, usually I would post my Friday Fit Day, but due to our scales being out of batteries and me knowing full well I have not lost a single thing this week, I decided against it.
  As most of you will already know, I went to a job interview on Monday and although I felt it went incredibly well, I'm now feeling my anxiety playing hell with the thoughts of 'what if I actually get this job?' The interview itself was a huge challenge for me. Sunday evening was a roller-coaster of emotions and I very nearly sacked it in there and then, but I pushed myself and got myself through it, which if I'm entirely honest, I wouldn't have been able to do two months ago. The panic attacks would have made my mind up for me, but this week I managed to control them. Unfortunately, since Wednesday I've been feeling like I've back tracked to two months ago. I am proud of myself for getting through the interview, but now I'm stressing about the actual doing the job bit, and I don't even know if I've got it yet. I know it sounds awful and I feel sick saying it, but my mind just tells me that I don't even want to work. The pressure that I feel to do well in everything is too much, and although Liam says he really wouldn't mind if I felt more comfortable not working for a little while longer, I know we struggle a lot for money and could really do with the added income.
   As the title of this posts suggests, I really do have good days and bad days, Monday I was on cloud nine, happy and feeling like my life was finally getting past my panic attacks and depression, yesterday though, I woke up at nine and lay in bed all day! Literally like a little hermit with no energy and no motivation, I just lay there watching old pretty little liars episodes and avoiding phone calls and text messages as much as I could.
   I really want to get past this, so as hard as it is, I'm going to keep fighting it. This may mean a few changes in the way I blog, but I promise I would give up on it. Blogging is the one thing that takes me away from everything and I honestly wish I had started it sooner.
   I know I've rambled a lot about a whole load of nothing in this post, but I really want to thank everyone who follows me, whether it be on here, twitter, youtube or facebook. I really appreciate every one of you guys and you make doing what I love so much easier. You also help cheer me up on those not so good days. So thank you so so much! Also if any of you ever want to shoot me an email or tweet, please do so, even if it's just to say hi. It's those little smiles that make days better. :)

Christmas in the Jones Household about me | bauble | cards | christmas | decorations | gifts | holiday | jones | personal | presents | tinsel | xmas

Hi Lovelies!
    I thought I'd share a few photos of my home, all dressed up ready for Christmas. I've spent most of the day shopping and sorting out the prezzies, I'm finally in the festive spirit! Being our first Christmas in our own home, Liam and I haven't got many decs, we haven't got a tree either, we thought it best seeing as Luna is still her mischievous self and we're pretty sure we'd be spending most of our time fixing it. How do you guys cope with naughty pets at Christmas?

Hope you're all having a good Christmas time. 

I'm getting excited now!

I'm Back! about me | family | get to know me | home | my life | personal | photos | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | winter | xmas

Hi Lovelies!
    Sorry I've been so absent, I took a three day break from blogging as my mum, sister and niece came to visit all the way from West Wales. They spent 6 hours on Monday driving to get here and left this morning to make the horrid drive back. I've had the most fun 3 days ever and I am missing my Lilypie so much already! Whilst they were here we got lost in Bradford, ate far too much takeaway foods and spent an hour and a half in Wacky Warehouse playing in the ball pit.
    Unfortunately there has been a teeny down side to these past few days too, my sister has been suffering with a really bad cold and muggins here caught it off of her. I am now tucked up on my sofa, with a blanket and a hot cup of blackcurrant squash. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse than it is now, because not only do I feel like complete and utter pants, but I really want to have the energy to write some posts and record some new videos too!! I've missed it so much, I hadn't actually realised how big of a part blogging played in my life now.
    Anywhooooo, I am going to make this a short one so I don't ramble on too much, I have taken lots of footage of Lily whilst she was here, but I'm not too sure my sister would be cool with me posting it (I have to admit I don't 100% trust the internets myself), so I'll stick a couple of pics on here instead.

Please excuse the incredibly awful hat hair and make-up free face, my cold had kicked in that day. 

Best Day Everrrr....with a couple of glitches! buffet | bus | friends | fun | leeds | personal | photos | primark | red hot | shopping | train | wine

Hi Lovelies!
    I am so so sorry I haven't posted since Monday! Yesterday my two best friends came up from Crewe for the day. It was planned that Leanne was coming, but Ben came too as a complete surprise. I got out of the shower in the morning from a text to him saying, "who knew Yorkshire was so rural." Haha, I think I peed my pants with excitement. I haven't seen him since August!

(Watch my train vlog fail below, I had to mute the sound because it picked up the screechy sound of the train instead of Ben's beautiful singing of 'The wheels on the bus'.)

     So after we had ran around finding somewhere for Leanne to park her car for the day, we hopped on a bus, then a train and headed into Leeds. It was freezing!!! Me being a dim-bulb had not dressed warm either. We started our day having lunch in the amazing Red Hot World buffet. It was incredible! I think we ate until we could eat no more! £45 for three people to eat and a bottle of wine between us, it wasn't even badly priced! We were told we could have the table for two hours, which is plenty of time to scoff all you want.

    After, we shuffled down to Primarni, where I learnt to always check the size of the items of clothing and don't trust what the hangers say! I ended up going home with two pieces far, far too small for me. Liam and I may pop back to Leeds on Saturday so I can exchange one of them, I'd already taken the tag off the other before I realised how tiny it was.

    After battling against the wind and rain round a few more shops, we decided to head home. The journey back consisted of grumpy women in the station, talking about rudey things on the train and running up the road to catch the smelliest bus on earth.
    Our evening consisted of more rudey talk, Ben drinking the best part of a bottle of vodka, me moaning about my headache and taking silly photos. They left mine at 9:45pm to make the two hour journey home.
     The day made me realised how much I miss the two of them, I talk to them all the time, but it's not quite the same as pissing about with them and having a giggle. My house seems so quiet now and I'm yet to tidy up the slight carnage in the living room.

     Safe to say, it was well worth missing out on a day of blogging and making videos, I wish it could happen more often. Sorry if I've bored you a little with this one, I like to go back and read some of my posts some time and this would certainly be one to put a smile on my face when I needed it.
