Lets talk Breasts
Yesterday in the bath I discovered a lump in my left breast and panic mode set in. I felt sick and my legs were shaking and I kept thinking for goodness sake, why me again.
I googled the shit out of it trying to find reassurance in the meantime, I came across some information that said women under 50 that have no family history are at very low risk of it being cancerous and that 9 times out of 10 it is just a cyst or hard breast tissue which helped a little bit.
Only 1 year on since I got the all clear from my test of cure for my cervical screening as if that wasn’t scary enough and now I find this! I was having a bath with my 3-year-old daughter and I had told her mummy is just getting out quickly to get a hairbrush but secretly I ran for my phone to call the doctors. My doctor surgery is brilliant I always manage to get an appointment on the same day and they had a slot available at 1.30pm with a nurse practitioner.
Clock watching and constantly feeling the lump I was getting more anxious, I just wanted to get to the doctors and get checked. My appointment soon arrived and I got called in. I explained to the nurse that I have been obsessing over feeling for lumps and worried that I have not been checking correctly because of my implants. I explained about my hypochondria which she knew already from previous visits.
She did a physical examination and told me it was nothing to worry about, the look on her face whilst she was examing didn’t look concerned in the slightest, however, I wasn’t convinced by what she was saying and I must have asked her about 50 times ‘are you sure you felt the actual lump?’ ‘Do I need a scan just to make sure? ‘So it’s not cancer?’ ‘are you absolutely sure?’ and she was adamant there was nothing to worry about so I accepted it was fine.
Then we discussed my health anxiety and how bad it is getting again, I even asked her if they could just remove my boobs so there was no risk of getting cancer. My mind is a mess and I am so tired of being scared of dying all the time I am sick of seeing cancer posters everywhere on billboards, on tele, or social media, It has been 3 years since I read a magazine. Then I asked her If I could be going through early menopause because I get hot all the time but she explained that was doing to my anxiety so we discussed upping my dosage to 100mg a day
When I got home I just felt drained from all the worrying that I just wanted to go to bed and sleep so as soon as I could, I did and David came up to cuddle me till I fell asleep.
8.30am on the dot I was calling up my Doctor surgery AGAIN and booked an appointment with my Gp this time so he can give me a second opinion. Now my Dr is lovely, he knows about my health anxiety so when I arrived for my appt at 9.30am he called a chaperone in and conducted another physical exam on both my boobs, I showed him where I felt the lump and he felt it too and again instantly told me there was nothing to worry about, It the ridge on my implant or just a bit of hard breast tissue. This time I left feeling reassured.
You should be checking your breasts regularly, every time you have a bath or a shower. Familiarise yourself with how they look and feel so you can easily detect any abnormalities.
If you do find any abnormalities, Please go to see your Gp straight away.
Loosing weight and getting Fit- My Journey
My 2018 resolution to lose weight and to get fit.
I have always been a slim person, I used to be able to eat anything and not put on a single a pound. I have followed slimming world before and used to attend group, however, this time I will be following it at home. I know slimming world works because I have reached my target before. Also this year I am going to be realistic about my goals and not expect it to happen quickly, I reckon it will take about 4-6 months.
2017 has not been good food wise for me, I have suffered awful with my mental health and my response to it as well as therapy has been food. But not just 1 chocolate I would eat the whole tub and then a big packet of toffee popcorn. I have reverted back to sugar in my Tea. I know if I just cut out all the snacky crap foods and go back to sweeteners that would make a massive impact on my journey too.
I am also going to get fit this year and will be starting my beloved 30-day-shred DVD tomorrow as well as running on the treadmill, I hate exercise but I need to do it my ass is so wobbly that my butt cheeks slap together when I run upstairs.
When you eat crap you feel crap and I feel amazing when I eat properly. I am not a moody cow and I wake up in a good mood instead of feeling like a zombie and feeling utterly grouchy, I also feel sluggish all day and I hate it and I honestly think this has had a massive impact on my mental health and is the reason I have eaten soo much crap this year. I feel like I have really let myself go and I need to gain back my control.
So if you want to Join me on my journey and make it OUR journey then please get in touch, anyone who knows me knows that when I want something so badly I do not stop till I get it and I REALLY want this.
Good Luck everyone
Here are some quick and easy meals I have made myself that are slimming world friendly Click here
Shark Klik n’ Flip Automatic Steam Pocket Mop S6003UK-My review
Anyone who knows me will know just how much I love cleaning products and appliances, I find it very therapeutic vacuuming and making things clean there is nothing more satisfying than a clean home, so when I was asked if I wanted to review the Shark Klik n Flip pocket mop I obviously jumped at the chance.
In the box you will receive:
-
Main unit
-
2 Dirt grip pads
-
1 Filling flask
-
Information guide
-
Quick start guide
This product is very easy to assemble as it all clicks into place, it is lightweight and has a long 8-metre lead so you don’t have to keep swapping plugs. Once you have put this cleaning machine together and filled the water reservoir to the maximum line, just press the power button on the front and it will light up blue it also heats up nice and quick so you aren’t waiting around for it to get to temperature. There are 3 settings 1(low), 2(medium) and 3(high) depending on the type of clean you are wanting to do, then you can flip the mop and there is a steam blast mode which is brilliant to directly target stubborn marks and you can carry on moping whilst the steam is blasting, It’s really cool.
When I have used other brands in the past my floors have never looked cleaned after I had steamed them and looked like they were covered in smears. I have laminate flooring downstairs in my house and when I have cleaned my floors using this one they look blooming amazing, they are clean and smell clean with no smear marks and I love how this steam mop dries the floor quickly so you aren’t waiting forever for them to dry and it is a dream to manoeuvre around furniture and corners. I have 3 young children and a puppy called Rosie so our floors don’t stay clean for long but that’s fine by me now because I find any excuse to get my Shark out.
When you are finished there is a button located on the back of the unit, press that then the mop will open up at the bottom releasing the dirt grip pad so you do not have to touch it and you can put the spare straight on by sitting the mop on top of it and it will slide into place.
Now the one and only thing shark could have done to improve this magnificent product is to make it stand up on its own for easy storage because you can only store it upright when you lean it against a wall. However, this is so minor compared to how good this machine is.
I will be uploading a video in the next few days of my steam mop in action for you all, so please make sure to come back if you are interested.

Lottie Muddy Puddles Doll
We were kindly sent a Muddy Puddles Lottie doll to review for Emily, she chose this dolly because jumping in muddy puddles is what Emily loves to do the most. 
When Lottie was delivered and I had taken her box out of the packaging, I was drawn instantly by the illustrations. On the front, as you can see there is a rainbow one side, and on the other side, there is a black rain cloud with the suns face appearing just above it with gleaming rays. You can also see the little ducks at the bottom and some beautiful flowers.
On the back of the box, There is a cloud picture which allows you to write whoever you are buying/gifting her too and a short paragraph telling you about how much she loves being outdoors and muddle puddles.
Lottie stands 18cm tall and is dressed in age-appropriate clothes. The quality of her clothing is lovely, you can tell straight away that this little lady has been made with a lot of love and care, the quality of her clothes, face and hair is perfect, she doesn’t look cheap or nasty in any way.
Lottie has long blonde hair and is wearing blue and white striped Leggins, she has knee-length corded shorts with 2 pink buttons she wears over the top of leggings. She is wearing yellow polka dot wellie-boots with cute little bows on the back and a white t-shirt with a rainbow picture on the front with a yellow hooded rain jacket on.
Here are a few photo’s to show you how good the quality really is
Lottie is an Award winner for positive role model with her age appropriate body shape. She also has no makeup on or wears high heel shoes.
Emily has really enjoyed playing with this doll and what makes it even better is that she has a child’s body frame, she wears NO makeup and is dressed in children’s clothes. Muddy puddle Lottie and Emily wear the same style of clothes which makes Milly love her even more, She has already asked for another one.
