My blog was originally set up so that I could record my weightloss as a journey with photos and reminders of emotions that I’d been through and over the past year or so as my weightloss has slowed down (or increased and gone back down again…you get the picture!) I have subconsciously changed the theme of my blog to include all sorts of stuff rather than being on a diet. To be honest, whether I got readers or not wasn’t an issue for me at first but its only now that I look at others blogs and see how well they have done with them that I actually get ‘blog envy’. I’m not too proud to admit it, I look at some blogs and think “Bloody brilliant, why didn’t I think of that?”. I love how their [too many authors to mention and would hate to single anyone out ] blogs have been put together with headers and widgets and how they’ve managed to wangle getting sponsored posts and attracted freebies galore..(to be honest, some of the posts are really obviously sucky up brown nosey posts but others are a lot more subtle!).
I also love the fact that there are literally hundreds of mini (and quite large) communities out there such as dieting, mummyhood or sewing ones and people are so supportive of each other. I have to admit that sometimes I do worry that I might be putting too much of myself ‘out there’… I worry that some people I know would read this and judge me differently to how they perceive me now but why should I worry? It’s my blog right? My thoughts and my personal opinions..I just wish sometimes I could be a bit more open… am I right to worry?
Anyway, enough of me waffling..just in case you’re wondering, I’m having a few technical issues with leaving comments on other blogs, for some reason I have got a blogger sign in id but it doesnt work and wont work no matter what I do to it so apologies for leaving my blog address on your page..It’s like my slug trail….

Don’t you just love Mother Nature?
In true MrsShilts style, Mother Nature dealt me a rather cruel blow this week..yep, you’ve guessed it my flamin’ ‘time of the month‘! It was totally out of the blue, uncalled for and perfect timing —> I’m off on a camping holiday today. I’ve only been waiting for it for 3 months! At first I had the excitement of thinking I was pregnant, I / we would have loved that to be honest but no, after each week without any sign and each test looking back at me with only one line / unhappy face / Not Pregnant, I was getting a bit frustrated. Isn’t it typical that for the last 17 years my monthlies have been as regular as clockwork and then when me and hubby decide to ‘think’ about starting a family they go tits up! I’ve been to the doctors and had blood tests done and I’ve got a scan booked for the end of the month to look at what’s going on down there. I feel like for years we have been so so careful preventing getting pregnant and now we would like it to happen we are getting nowhere. I keep thinking ‘what if we had started trying a couple of years ago, would I have got pregnant then?’ but then I wonder that I can’t think like that! Things happen for a reason and obviously now’s just not the right time….Anyway, I’m off on holiday for a week glamping somewhere in the East of England. Hope you all have a lovely week and I’ll be back with book reviews, more sewing and serious plans to shift the ever increasing lard…. laters!
