It wasn't a very good start!!

A blog to record my day to day life and to make new friends. That was how it was all meant to happen. As you will all now have seen..... It didn't turn out anything like that at all. Goodness it all seems doom and gloom in my first blogs and since then things have got even worse, so a very quick update on the last 3 MONTHS ! and then onto a new blog start and hopefully brighter, happier and healthier 2013.
Since October, things have been very stressful and not really very happy at all. Life seems to have been an uphill struggle. Not just for me, but for all of the family. To summarise briefly. Sarah has been missing Matt so much. She has up days and down days, waiting for messages, phone calls or contact of any kind. Nicholas has been getting used to life at his house on his own, but thankfully seems to be coping very well nowadays. Neil, my husband, has been ill since I last blogged but is now back at work as and when he can. He is such a strong person and never ill so its been very hard seeing him suffer both mentally and physically. Christmas wasn't our usual celebration. We usually have a large family gathering but this year for so many reasons that didn't happen. Sarah's 2nd wedding anniversary was on New Years Eve but without Matt that was never going to be much of a celebration. Riley, our cockerpoo puppy has been in and out of our local vets and a specialist vet 2 hours away from home, for over a month now. In fact I could count on one hand how many nights he has actually been at home during that time. As I write this, its medication time, again. Poor little thing. I am praying he actually does get better but at the moment I just don't know what is ahead for him. He is such a character and had brought so much happiness back into our lives since "Scamp and Lucy"

2013.
It's been a couple of weeks since we left 2012 behind. A New Year. A New Start. I hope to have some time for myself, doing the unimportant things that I love to do. I am going to set some goals for the year, projects that I would like to be involved in and, I would love to loose some weight!!! I don't think I will be on my own with the weight loss wish. I wonder how many people in the world make that a resolution each new year.
Tomorrow, is a new beginning. I don't suppose I will post on here each day but will try for a couple of times a week. Is that too ambitious? Well, lets see how it goes. It's snowing here today for the first time this winter so maybe some photos would be ahold starting point.
