250 Words & Weddings & Blog Challenges.


I'm jumping on this bandwagon today. I know It's a day late for this one but I was so busy with doing the end of month Invoicing yesterday (when it was actually day one) that I didn't have a chance to catch up on anything going on in the blogging world at all. So without further adieu....Here goes.

Day One - Story of Your Life 

I was born Sara Esther Pilling in the Edith Watson maternity unit in Burnley, Lancashire on Saturday 8 April 1978,  A few days later my mum and dad took me home to what would then become my home for the next 35 Years. I have lived in the same house in Loveclough since I came home.

At the tender age of  I was blessed with a little brother - Jonathan (He got married last Saturday)  
Jonathan and Kate. 
and we quickly became close. In September of that year I began attending Crawshawbooth Primary School, just down the road. I have some great memories from there, but those are another story.


Next came Haslingden High School where I made many new friends, then came college and boys and going out with friends most weekends. I became very friendly with a group of girls who were sisters and twins. The first set of twins were friends from college, the second set were friends of the twins from college. It was quite weird in a way. After I left college, I kind of lost touch with the girls and went on to pursue a  career in retail. That lasted almost several years until I decided to leave because my line manager thought she was better than us all and a right cow to everyone. She had a nervous breakdown two months after I left! 

Then whilst I was in between jobs, I met the first and only man who would break my heart, he was a friend of my friend's dad and they played in a band together, he was their drummer. We only went out for a couple of months and it was never destined to work because he lived in Manchester and I wasn't prepared to go down there every weekend, but we stayed friends for a while and then lost touch when the band split. A couple of years later I met Kevin. Kevin is the most caring, loving, gentle man I have ever met. He knows how to treat a lady, he won't take crap from anyone and will tell you straight if he doesn't like you. He's been hurt in the past like me, so we have something in common. 

The week before my brother's wedding. 

After My brother's wedding. 

Enjoying a night out with Friends - OMG how big is my double chin!!!


I think I've gone over 250 words, but hey who cares right? Hope y'all learned a few things about me. I know it's a bit short n sweet but I have still got a load of invoicing to do from yesterday. 

Blog Everyday In May Challenge


BLOG EVERY DAY IN MAY CHALLENGE

I found this on another bloggers post. and I for one could use a challenge esp if now a days I think and believe that I bore my readers and followers to the point they don't even want to comment. Well....how about this Join me on this challenge as well as returning the favor to those who comment you and take the time out of their day to comment you! Those that leave nice comments. The negative and bad ones can be thrown out. 

Here are the rules:
  1.  There really aren't any rules. If you miss a day, you can make it up or skip it. The blog police will not come knocking.
  2.  You can still post other things every day, too. I plan to do normal outfit posts, life posts, around-Austin posts, and sponsor posts just like usual.
  3.  I'd seriously love you if you also include the "blog every day in May" button (below) either on your sidebar or at the end of your posts, but again, the blog police will not come knocking. My main goal here is to get us all back to the basics of blogging, not to gain a million new readers (though I wouldn't mind that). 
  4.  Here are the topics. You can be as creative and awesome or as boring and bland as you like with these. Take 'em and run with it. Use creative post titles. Interpret each "prompt" however you like. There's no wrong way to do it. Have fun.

Day 1, Wednesday: The story of your life in 250 words or less (or one paragraph... no one will be counting your words... probably)
Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at. Take any approach you'd like (serious and educational or funny and sarcastic)
Day 3, Friday: Things that make you uncomfortable
Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it
Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member
Day 6, Monday: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?
Day 7, Tuesday: The thing(s) you're most afraid of
Day 8, Wednesday: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all.
Day 9, Thursday: A moment in your day (this can be just a photo or both a photo and words)
Day 10, Friday: Most embarrassing moment (s). Spill. 
Day 11, Saturday: Sell yourself in 10 words or less
Day 12, Sunday: What do you miss? (a person, a thing, a place, a time of your life...)
Day 13, Monday: Issue a public apology. This can be as funny or as serious or as creative as you want it to be.
Day 14, Tuesday: Ten things that make you really happy
Day 15, Wednesday: A Day in the life (include photos from throughout your typical day - this could be "a photo an hour" if you'd like)
Day 16, Thursday: Something difficult about your "lot in life" and how you're working to overcome it
Day 17, Friday: A favorite photo of yourself and why
Day 18, Saturday: Tell a story from your childhood. Dig deep and try to be descriptive about what you remember and how you felt.
Day 19, Sunday: Five of your favorite blogs and what you love about them
Day 20, Monday: Get real. Share something you're struggling with right now.
Day 21, Tuesday: A list of links to your favorite posts in your archives
Day 22, Wednesday: Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel. (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something your husband or roommate or neighbor or boss does that really ticks you off)
Day 23, Thursday: Things you've learned that school won't teach you
Day 24, Friday: Your top 3 worst traits
Day 25, Saturday: Something someone told you about yourself that you'll never forget (good or bad)
Day 26, Sunday: Something you read online. Leave a link and discuss, if you'd like.
Day 27, Monday: A letter to your readers
Day 28, Tuesday: Only pictures
Day 29, Wednesday: Five songs or pieces of music that speak to you or bring back memories. Use Grooveshark or YouTube to include them in the post

First Things First Lottery, People & Bad Days.


I'm linking up with Halie this week for First Things First. I didn't do one last week, but this weeks topics sounded like such good fun, I didn't want to miss out. 


So without further adieu, here we go.

1. What's the First thing you would do/buy if you won the lottery?
Hmm. If I won the lottery, the first thing I would actually buy would be an Apple Mac. Preferably a Mac Book Air. I really need a new laptop for blogging and doing school stuff on. My Fujitsu is so slow. Then I would buy a nice red mini cooper and drive over to Kevin's work (when he gets a new job) I will turn up in reception and ask to see him. If they refuse to let him come into reception, I will ring him and tell him to come down because he is handing his notice in right now and we are going to the airport. 

2. First person you call when you get amazing news.
This one might just depend on the news. Usually I'll call Kevin, but then I'd call my mom. If it was to say I had won the lottery, I would call my parents first, then I'd call Kevin. 

3. First thing you do when you get home after a bad day.
Now if I've had a really really bad day, I would make a cup of tea. Run a bath and just chill. After a nice hot bath, I like to sleep. Last night I came home and had a bath, then after my tea I just went straight to bed and slept. I feel so much more refreshed in the mornings after a good night's sleep.

Looking forward to linking up next week.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.


The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Ok, I've finally got around to jumping on this bandwagon. This has been floating around blogland for a few days now, so I'm gonna hop on board. (Erin, you're a genius for starting this -- and you didn't even realize what you started!) 


The Good
1. I am a great listener.  Although I do like to Listen. I don't always give good advice back though. 
2. I am very Tech Savvy. My parents aren't and are always asking me to help them out! 
3. I stick to something once I put my mind to it. Like blogging. 
4. I am determined to lose another stone before my holiday in July. Currently going to slimming world and have almost got my stone award. Just need to push a little harder and It will come.
5. I have never taken drugs - Like Hard drugs. 
The Bad
1. I get paranoid easily. Of Kevin's ex-workmate.  I'm sure she fancies him. 
2. I'm crap with saving money. Seriously I need to save some.
3. I have smoked since meeting Kevin. I did smoke before meeting him but not as much. I was more of a social smoker. I know its a bad nasty habit, I really need to kick this bad habit. 
4. I drink far too much Diet Soda. If it didn't taste so damn good. Coca Cola/Pepsi Cola I blame you for getting me hooked . 
5. I am cheating on SlimmingWorld. I know I shouldn't but I am. At the moment I am taking Raspberry Ketones and they seem to be working. I've got 2.5Lbs to lose this week. 
The Ugly
1. I can go days without showering. It's gross, I know. But I seriously hate being wet and having wet hair.
(For the record, I'm generally an every-other-day showerer, but I hate it and it feels like work.)
2. I am extremely messy at home. There is a pile of clothes, bags etc at the foot of my bed. I have too much stuff. 
3. I can go a day without brushing my teeth. I know i should brush twice daily but seriously it's too much like hard work.
4. I have dry skin in between my toes. It's seriously bugging me. Nothing seems to get rid of it.
5. I argue with Kevin about my work situation. He knows I can't pay him in full every month, yet he still wants paying.

A Prayer for the People of Boston



I never know what to say when things like this happen. My thoughts and Prayers are with everyone affected by this terrible and callous tragedy. Stay strong people. May God be with you at this sad time.

Weekly What - My First Link Up

button

I think it's about time I started doing this link up. I love reading what you guys have been up to....

So thanks to Allie @ Tales of a TwentySomething here's what I got up to last week.

Monday

Last Monday was my birthday. It was a lovely sunny day. Of course I had to work but I didn't let that spoil my day. First of all, here's some of the gorgeous pressies I got. 

Cute Little Owl Organiser

Tatty Teddy

New Owl Mug

Elemis Beauty bag

Cute


Then Kevin got me these cute little charms
Cross and Heart charms. Kevin bought the whole bracelet a few years ago.
 
for my charm bracelet and took me out to lunch. Oh and then I went to my brother's to watch the soccer. Unfortunately my team (Manchester United) got beat by local rivals Manchester City. 

Tuesday

Tuesday was just another normal day for me and I didn't get up to very much. I did think I was starting with a cold.

Wednesday

Wednesday mom and I went over to Skipton to take one of her outfits back that she had bought for my brother's wedding. I didn't see anything that I liked to be honest. I did however see a cute little dress and a jacket to match it. But darn I forgot to take a photo! I wanted to see the church in Embsay (where my brother's fiancee is from) where my brother gets married in two weeks. We didn't expect to see them but as we were waiting to come out of the lane that leads up to the church we bumped into Jonathan's future in-laws who were on their way back from an afternoon stroll.

Thursday

Thursday I had to work and when mom picked me up we went to do the weekly food shop, as we couldn't go on Friday like we usually do.

Friday 

Friday I took my nan shopping and then came home to get ready to visit the Trafford Centre with my mom, she had an appointment to get her hair chut and coloured. Then Friday night I went out for a couple of drinks with Kevin. 

Saturday

Kevin had some friends (whom I do not know and don't really want to know now that he doesn't work with them anymore) over on Saturday afternoon. My mom and dad went to Liverpool on Saturday with some friends so I spent the day working on my Business Admin course, shredding a few papers and watching films and catching up on a few blogs. 

Sunday

Yesterday was another chilled day. As I didn't stay over at Kevin's I was up early and there for 10.30am. We watched Fernando Alonso win the Chinese F1. Next it was down to Asda for a few things and back home to watch Manchester United beat Stoke 2-0, then we saw Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA cup semi-final. I cooked stir-fry for tea and then we chilled out with the television for the rest of the night. 

Hopefully next week's Weekly What will have a lot more Photos and much better contents. What was your weekend like?


Five For 5





Well its day again and that means linkup time with Jess and Jenn. Last weeks goals were kept quite small and simple. Completed tasks are in Green, non completed in Red  and semi-completed in purple.

2) Buy some new jeans for everyday wear. I couldnt  do this one because I didnt actually see any that I liked.
3) Update my iPhone as it's becoming a bit slow. Got around to doing this on Saturday as I knew I wouldnt be seeing Kevin and  all day to back it up.
4) Eat plenty of salmon and fish. Yes I did manage to do this about 5/7 days so I am reasonably pleased with myself this week.
5) Find a Job.  This one proved a challenge again but I will keep at it.

This weeks are as follows:

1) Use e E-cig everyday.
2) Walk/Workout at least 3 times this week.
3) Pay £20 off O2 bill on friday.
4) Eat fish or chicken with  all week. Delete all the apps I dont need or use everyday.

Five for 5



Happy Birthday Me!!!! Going to keep this week's post short and sweet. Anyway here goes. 

1) Start a weekly budget plan.
Kevin wants us to go away on holiday this year, but it's too expensive so if I want to go, I will need to start saving some money. I've started putting some money away for this each week now, so hopefully I'll be able to have some spending money!
2) Put £20-40 away each week from this week towards my holiday. See above. 
3) Find a job.
I really need to do this, because I feel like I'm always skint!
4) Find a nice dress for our Johnny's wedding.
I do have one but I don't think it's pretty enough for wedding.
5) Use my E-cig every day.
I need to do this one because the price of cigarettes is due to go up by 26p soon and they will be almost £7.40 for a pack. It's a good incentive to start giving them up!

Green - Completed. Red - Incomplete. Purple - Almost complete.

Here's my to-do's for this week.
1) Use my e-cig everyday again.
2) Buy some new jeans for everyday wear.
3) Update my iPhone as it's becoming a bit slow.
4) Eat plenty of salmon and fish.
5) Find a Job.

Tuesday Topics



The Austin Family Diary

I missed this link up last week, but will make up for it with extra blog posts. 

Seven Things I do every day. Hmmmm, lets see.

I go on Facebook. I can't help it, I'm slightly obsessed.

I check my Twitter account. Again I know I'm slightly obsessed. Oh and check Instagram too!

I read blog posts from my favourite bloggers.

I check my emails for potential work.

I check the works email almost every 2-3 hours.

I wake up at the same time (7.00-7.30am) even if I'm not at work.

Text Kevin. I know he gets a bit fed up of hearing from me everyday, but hey a girls gotta share her love with her man right?

So there you have my 7 things that I do everyday. Pretty boring stuff right.

Five for 5



It's Easter Monday and because its fallen on the 1st April this year that can only mean ONE thing. It's only a week to my birthday!!!!! Yes it's a week today!
I haven't really got anything planned but that might change. Seeing I'm typing this on my moms iPad I can't get the colors to signify completed tasks so you will have to bare with me until I can get to my laptop.

Anyway without further ado, here's how I got on last week with my Five for 5.

RED = Incompleted Tasks. PURPLE = Semi completed Tasks. GREEN=Completed Tasks.

1) Put some money away for Apple Mac.
This never got done again. I will get round to doing this once I get sorted with a decent job.
2) Do at least three sessions of yoga.
This kinda got a bit neglected last week. But I made up for it in going for a walk three times last week.
3) Finish assessment 4 of my Business Admin course.
I am naughty because this STILL hasn't been done. I will complete it this week.
4) Pay £23.50 off my bill for 02.
I didn't get chance to do this. So it will have to wait until next time.
5) Sort out blog lovin.
This never materialised either so I,ll give it another go when I get chance.

This weeks tasks are as follows.

1) Start a weekly budget plan.
Kevin wants us to go away on holiday this year, but it's too expensive so if I want to go, I will need to start saving some money.
2) Put £20-40 away each week from this week towards my holiday.
This needs to be on the very top of my to-do list this week! I am not not having a week/ten days in this horrible weather!
3) Find a job.
I really need to do this, because I feel like I'm always skint!
4) Find a nice dress for our Johnny's wedding.
I do have one but I don't think it's pretty enough for wedding.
5) Use my E-cig every day.
I need to do this one because the price of cigarettes is due to go up by 26p soon and they will be almost £7.40 for a pack. It's a good incentive to start giving them up!

Here's to a great week.

Finish the Sentence Link Up.


I saw this on Allie's blog and thought it sounds like fun so I'm linking up with Holly and Jake via Allie. 

1. If calories didn't count, I would eat... What I wanted without having to worry about putting weight on!

2. On my Prom night....I didn't have a Prom in High School. 

3. When I go to the store, I always buy... Either Nail Polish or Jewellery. 

4. Family functions typically...Cringe. Except when I know that certain people aren't going to be there.

5. I think my blog readers... Seriously, I don't have all that many followers so this one is a bit hard to comment on...

6. I'd much rather be..... Sunning myself on the beach in Salou or lazing by the pool with a nice cold beer.

7. I have an obsession with.... Nail Art, MUA. Cute little dresses. Owls. Panda's. My iPhone. Instagram. Twitter. Facebook. Gratitude Journal.Happier.
Honestly the app's list is endless.

8. My work friends.... I don't associate with people from the shop outside work. So they're not really classed as work friends.

9. When I created my Facebook account.... It was 2007. Everyone was on Facebook! 

10. My least favorite word is... Pounds....These are the devil word when it comes to weigh in at slimming world. If I've put pounds on, I'm usually grumpy but if I've lost pounds then I feel happy.

11. I really don't remember.... much about my Grandad Hawil. I have a lot of photos and memories from our trip to Australia in 1994/95. Then after that nothing because he passed away in 1998 after only meeting him once in 1994/95. 

12. Justin Bieber.... is so annoying I hate him.

Now. Finish this sentence. Who was your second ever blate with....

Kevin. One new years eve. I won't say any more because it's painful to talk about it and remember it.

Five For 5




Is it Monday again already? It not long off Easter now and it will soon be my birthday! Whoooo Hooo!
I was rather bad at keeping to my goals from last week. I think I only managed ONE of them. That's BAD!

Red = Uncompleted Tasks. Blue =Semi Completed Tasks. Green= Completed Tasks. 

1) Try and do at least 3 sessions of Activity this week. I don't know why this one wasn't a green. It could be but I've given it Blue because  I was just so busy trying to get some of my course (business admin) done that I couldn't be bothered to do anything after I got home from work. I did however lose 1 and a half pounds last week at Slimming World and only need to lose 3lbs and I'll get my stone award this week!
2) Finish Chapters 1 & 2 of my short story and my assignment. This was definitely a no go because I was busy with my course. 
3)Put some money away for an Apple Mac. I need a new laptop. I will get some money put away this week. For definite. 
4) Sort out and de-clutter my desk at home. Yeah. Finally got this done. My desk looks a lot tidier now, it's still cluttered some but at least I've tidied all my papers away and put things away after I have used them. 
5) Keep my mouth shut in a bad situation. I've decided this one will be a blue because I've not really been in a bad situation to be honest.

This weeks tasks are as follows:

1) Put some money aside towards an Apple Mac.
2) Do at least 3 sessions of Yoga.
3) Finish assessment 4 of My Business Admin Course.
4) Pay £20 off my o2 Bill on Friday.
5) Sort out BlogLovin. 

I'm going to try and get all of these done. I really want to do number 4 anyway!
