Hello, hello, hello. Happy Sunday everyone!

So in this post I am sharing my new Day In a Life Video for day 2 of the New Year 2021, and have changed my Domain Name of this site, which you may have noticed.

Here I am going to do my weekly posts, such as Tea and Biscuits, and going to create sit down videos for this, each week, along with writing my Shopping Ideas, Meal Ideas, Haul videos and what items you can get in the new year and weekly Look Book posts.

So please go and check my new Day In a Life video below:

I would like to share this song by a lady called, Bic Runga, who has released a song called Sway and I think it is bloody excellent and one new artist that I will be looking out for, to see what other songs she will be bringing out.

I love finding new artists and songs, and I was so proud of the songs I wrote towards the end of 2020, that I will be writing more.

I have also written my Weekly Newsletter blog, talking about whats to come this year in 2021:

My Christmas 2020

Hello and welcome! I wish you all a Happy New Year, and if you did still have a few drinks then I hope your hang over is too bad. Christmas was very different this year, but I suppose many of us can say that. I just hope that those that were on their own were able to contact people they loved some how, and if you can send them a little card through the door to wish them a Happy New year then do.

I thought Her Majesty the Queen’s speech was wonderful, and hand on heart when she writes her speeches, which she does herself, she talks from the heart all of the time and it was her and her sister that addressed everybody when they were children, when they began their speech at Christmas as it was back in 1940 and England were in the middle of a war, and wanted to still address all those on the wireless (radio) and that her and her family, were thinking of us all who had been devasted by the war.

Now we are in the 2000’s she goes on to do the same and if Boris had stopped her from making a speech I think we would all have been very angry, as I especially look forward to her Christmas Speech every year, and I will support the Queen, my family as much as possible.

I spent much of Christmas day working, as I want to use my blogs to reach out to those who may have a neighbour on their own too, and to help show them love. I know COVID is a pandemic, but when you stop social interaction those who live by themselves suffer because of it, and that is unfair. I hope Boris Johnson has a heart to see that.

I want to share the Queen’s speech this year if you did not hear it as she is right, where there were a lot of people who took time out of their normal life, to help pull us through the Lockdown and that even if we didn’t know these people personally that they still were connecting with us and that we were in it together.

I wrote a few blogs for and on Christmas Day and so if you would like to read the ones I shared then please see them below:

Set A Plan For 2021

I didn’t watch much Christmas TV this year but I think because of COVID that not many programmes did a Christmas special this year. I didn’t even watch Strictly this year, and that is unusual but I just didn’t feel the vibe for it this year, but I am sure this once the lockdown is removed it will be back to having an audience again and programmes can come back fighting.

I would like to share a song that I am listening to now and sums a lot of people of 2020:

I today am filming my first Day In A Life, which I haven’t done in a long time and so if it all comes out well I will put it up, probably tomorrow. I have some printable sheets for you to download and print out, and I have included a blog I wrote yesterday, about Kick Start your Year by developing a new Story of your Life.

I have created a new Life Coaching Tools Worksheet included in the blog linked above, and I have some Planner sheets for you too, to help you plan for each day and if you write a blog or want to create Youtube videos.

I will be making more printables to help you have a productive and chilled out New Years as much as possible.

Weekly Meal Ideas – Post Christmas

Hello and welcome! So we are now in a new week being that Christmas 2020 is over and I bet some of you still have leftovers.

I did go shopping afterwards at the weekend after. I shopped both in Tescos and M&S, because there were items that I couldn’t find in Tescos that I found in M&S and was more cost effective.

I love Early Grey Tea Bags but they are about £3 for a box, but in M&S they are only £1.90, and I like their Coleslaw and they do mini pizzas but on the day I wanted a couple they didn’ t have any so I bought a larger size one and the total shop of that was £5.55.

Before that on the Monday before Christmas day as I would need any meals purchased some snacks. I do find compared to Sainsbury’s and M&S that their price on snacks are better. I have gone into Morrisons but there is a scam going on in there, which I will tell you about in a minute, but yes. I know you should not snack all of the time but I also buy them for my son too. The total for this shop was £7.17.

Then the day I went to M&S as said above I popped into Tescos first to pick up more bits and pieces, but to also buy a ready meal. There is a nice Chicken Korma one they do and a nice loaf of bread which was less than a pound and is great for toasted sandwich, or make French toast whicTh I would love to make one day. This shops cost me £14.31.

Digital Camera

I then picked up some more bits for the week, as my son stayed over lastnight and bought some pasta and Stir on sauces and I made enough to have some today, and so it I just hitting up in the microwave. I love pasta, especially dry Pasta as it lasts a long time and can make several dinners out of it. This shop cost me £8.30.

I got to say since being in a new relationship, I have saved a lot of money. There are those that overshop and buy items that we already have. I shop going on what I have already got and can make meals out of, and so does my new man.

  • I always go through what I already have and then add to it
  • Make a list, going on what I would like to add for my breakfast and dinner
  • Set a budget
  • Go on how many meals I am going to need for the week
  • I find shopping in stores in the week better as yesterday when I got my last bits for the week, the store was empty

The one reminder if you didn’t read my Shopping Ideas post, there will be a lot of clearance sales on certain foods that were not sold at Christmas and that includes tins of chocolates, certain fruits and vegetables and meats.

Please see my recent posts on this site below:

So have a wonderful new year and I will be back on this site sharing some deals for the new year 2021, and so see you then.

Weekly Fashion Look Book – Versitile Clothing

So if you have been reading my posts on this site I like to do a Weekly Fashion Look Book and I like to show some items from my wardrobe that are new and items I have seen on various sites of other items I would like to buy.

I have created a new board for my Fashion Look Book 2021 on my Pinterest site:

I will be adding to this as we head into 2021. I will share what I wore on New years day, but here is a collage of items I have bought this year that may attract your attention too.

Please see my collage of items I have bought this year from Amazon, Newlook, TK Maxx, TU at Sainsbury’s and Very.

I like fashion that I can dress up or down and is versitile and be worn in many season and I love changing my style aswell. I do like to have various coats and jackets and I like to treat myself to new jumpers, a pair of smart trousers, along with skirts and dresses.

Have a Happy New Year!

Many thanks for reading,

Shopping Ideas- Getting Bargains for next year’s Christmas 2021 and for the new year coming

Hello and welcome to another Shopping Ideas post. In this post I am talking about getting bargains for next year’s Christmas 2021 and other sales that will be taking place soon.

Now if you are looking to save a lot of money for Christmas next year then there will be a lots retailer, getting rid of their stock for Christmas this year like Christmas jumpers, party wear, Christmas cards, wrapping paper and crackers not sold. I will be popping to see some stores tomorrow when I walk to Wandsworth to see what is there.

There will be deals on Diaries and Planners for 2021, and on winter coats and jackets.

I miss Debenhams because I would always check their stock on a Sunday and I bought a lot of my work dresses when I worked for a contact centre and would visit the one in Wimbledon and they would have a rack full of items on sale.

So instead of shopping in the week or a Saturday, shop on a Sunday and many shops will have items they are trying to sell stock not sold that week for new stock to come in on a Monday.

I bought my pink jacket I have from last years sale in the Debenhams in Wimbledon and I have a Grey Coat from a sale they did in Dorothy Perkins, in Kingston, two years ago, and still fits and washes well.

I always invest in a good coat and bought this one from Very.co.uk this December and a great bargain.

This coat was on the sale and cost me £75 and should have been £80 and fits perfectly and will keep me nice and warm. I don’t mind spending that extra bit of cash on a coat because I know it will last me for a good amount of years.

Then you have sales on food and drink, as much of the boxes of Mince Pies that stores will still have, that were not purchased will be on sale, along with selection boxes and tins of Roses and biscuits.

Once we head into the new year then there will be January Sales, and then come March it will be the Spring and Summer clothes and goodies.

Oh and yeah, Valentines Day, Easter, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

I change a lot through the Winter and Summer, as in the Winter I will tend to layer up, but in the summer wear easy cool clothing, with shorts, leggins, short sleeved dresses and tops, along with Sandals, ballet pumps or Flip flops.

I also change my food choices too, as many foods will be out of season, while other will be in, such as people would have stocked up on Vegetables for Christmas, so time for some meals to use up the leftovers and then Summer with Fruits such as Strawberries, melons, clementimes, and peaches.

So shop around and grab those bargains.

Many thanks for reading,

Tea and Biscuits – New Year and Another Christmas done

Free Father Christmas Clipart, Download Free Clip Art, Free Clip Art on Clipart Library

I was going to do a sit down video for this, but I am still feeling very self concious doing so, so I am going to type it up again this week. I still would like to do a Day in a Life video so I going to try and film one tomorrow as I plan to do a long walk tomorrow.

So Christmas is over almost, and still got the new year to come. I don’t know what I will be doing for new years yet, but would like to spend it with my Love Lee if I can.

The new year means time for some new ideas for my blog sites and I have some items that may interest you, some printables to help you get ready for a new year. I will let you know once these are completed and ready for you to use.

It is good to have things to look forward to, and even if their is a further Lockdown you can still have things to do that uplifts you, like having a regular film night, have a self care evening where you have a bath with a soothing bath bomb and shave your legs, arms, etc. Play some music and have a home gathering as I don’t see that there will be Police checking how many people you have in your home, or use the lockdown to do some home workouts.

Free New Year Images, Download Free Clip Art, Free Clip Art on Clipart Library

Use the to time at home to give your home a make over, and have a folder of all the things you want to accomplish if you can’t create a vision board. I wrote a blog on my site, which includes a vision board put together on my Pinterest page, See link to blog below:

Set A Plan for 2021

I have meal ideas blog to do and shopping ideas for this week. I want to do an old fashion haul video at some point, and would like to continue to do my Weekly Look Book blog, and I have some images of outfits I love to wear to come.

This time of year when Christmas is done I do feel relieved and glad that another year after all the rushing around is done, and this year was always going to be different with the Coronovirus lingering, and not many shops being opened, but hey, we got through it.

So have a good rest of Sunday and I will be back with another post on this site tomorrow, which will be my Weekly Shopping ideas post.

Many thanks for reading,

Christmas Look Book

So I have been posting a lot of blogs about fashion, as I do love it and the one thing I have been sharing lot of, is clothes I have purchased recently from various retailers and doing a weekly Look Book and wanted to share what I wore on Christmas day.

Black Contrast Hem Sleeveless Stud Top
https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/search?text=black+sleeveless+top+

The Top on the left is from Sainsbury’s Tu range. Leggins and sketcher trainers from Amazon, coat from Very and red cardigan from Primark.

I love making an effort at Christmas and these clothes and accessories together was such a great outfit that I can wear it for the summer too aswell as the festive season. I like to have seasonal clothes but ones that are versitile too and can be worn all year round.

For Cardigans and tops I like to look at Amazon, TK Maxx, Primark, Tu Sainsbury’s and New Look.

Hello and Merry Christmas! It is officially Christmas and I am writing this on Christmas Day 2020.

happy-merry-christmas-day-photo-message-merry-christmas-images-free- christmas-… | Merry christmas message, Merry christmas wishes text, Christmas greetings messages

Yes I am working and would not go a day without posting a blog and doing some writing, and this is a greater day than any as I have a whole day to write lots. I did my Christmas day workout, didn’t manage to go for a walk but going to leave this until tomorrow.

My Christmases since no longer being a kid have changed, but my spark for it has changed and I wrote a blog post about this as it was getting nearer to the big day: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com/2020/11/14/when-i-lost-my-spark-for-christmas/

I am listening to some ABBA songs that I not heard for ages and like to play different ones. Christmas for me is about playing music and sitting back watching a movie, and I hope my Christmas this year beats last years out of the hat. I am wearing this today, from TU Sainsbury’s, leggins from New Look and trainers from Amazon.

Christmas Day 'Wishes 2020

If you haven’t seen my previous posts on this site then I have shared some videos of items I have bought and seen on various online sites, and I will be doing a couple of sit down haul videos soon.

I was going to do a Day in a Life video, but forgot and didn’t go out as planned as I was going to go to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, but because it was pissing it down here in London, UK, I didn’t but I will, and when I do it will be posting it on this site.

I am planning for 2021 but today want to embrace today and have a good day, and hope I get to see my love today. It has been a while since we have seen each other and I love him so much that I can’t wait to see him.

My love Lee who has a new series of Not Going Out in the new year and I have a lot coming in the New Year too. I am writing two new books as we speak and I will let you know once they have been published, I am doing a project for 2021 to help people achieve their goals and have more success in their life, and I hope to have a few book reviews going up.

Anyway I must get on now. I really do hope you have a good day today and I will be posting on this site tomorrow too.
