It has been a tough couple of weeks with no heating or hot water, but now all is OK.
With the snow coming and going it has been nice to be indoors catching up on some TV and Youtube, and entertaining my son.
I love cleaning and organisation videos check out an example below:
I would love to hear what you have been watching and what motivates you.

Today I am doing some chilling, whilst catching up on errands.
I have been watching a lot of Youtube, and as I am big fan of Celine Dion watching a documentary showing how she is preparing for her return to Las Vegas. It is about 4 or 5 years old, but I love watching as I find it inspiring.
So let me know what you have been up to, I would love to hear from you and who inspires you.

I can’t believe after having all that snow its as if when you look outside, that there wasn’t any snow. This time last week it looked bleak as on Friday I had to wait over an hour for a train just to go 5 stops.
It is amazing how nature can cause the whole of Britain to come to a stand still, when we have had snow before. People getting trapped on the roads and on trains, people being stranded on the motorways.
When its that cold all I like to do is lay in bed, with a cup of tea watching TV, or a good old film. Sundays for example there is no better evening for me than having a cup of tea, whilst in bed watching Call the Midwife, Saturdays its Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway and then The Voice, and during the week, it is Extreme Cake Makers on Channel 4 and then the Hustle on Sony Crime Channel on Freeview.
Unluckily our boiler has been broken since last week with no hot water or heating, so I had to stay at my mums over the weekend and when at home relied on Electric Heaters to warm us up. Hopefully it be fixed this time tomorrow, so don’t have to avoid our landing because it being so cold.
Luckily we do have an Electric Shower so at least we can keep clean. Give Henry our son a wash using a Washing up Bowl, using the water from the shower to give him a bath.
It amazing how you can improvise over the simple things, and find your way around having no heating or hot water.

Sorry didn’t blog last week, it was Valentines Day and spent some time with my husband. He put together a three course meal of, Prawn Cocktail for starters, a steak dinner for main course and ice cream and banana cake for dessert.
I have also been watching the Winter Olympics, I love the Ice Skating, not so interested in the skiing but watched bits of it. It is good to watch a variety of sport as it gets me motivated and get active.
I also like to catch up on watching Youtube. I love travel vlogs, I am watching as blog Mimi Ikonn’s vlog at the moment as I write this blog.

That is just a selected few of youtubers I like to watch. If you like Day In A Life style videos these are great to watch.
Check them out.
This morning we had a structured morning, went and bought some new ceiling lights to match our lights in our living room, I will take a picture once up like I did with the wall lights. I will post them on my Seasonal Clean up page.
Purchased from Dunelm, about £40 each.
This time of year I like to clear out Henry’s clothes he no longer wears and have a change around, which I will also post on my seasonal clear up page too.

It Saturday and not a day I often blog on, but as I was listening to some music and watched some Youtube videos I thought I would share some of the ones I love listening to and watching.
Today I was supposed to be seeing some friends I have known all my life that I don’t get to see that often now, as we all have our own families now, but due to Henry (my son) coming down with some horrid stomach bug, it didn’t happen.
Plus the weather being miserable doesn’t help.
The first thing I wanted to share was some Tunes I love listening to, and the tunes I felt like playing today was from the TSB advert, called Anne Dudley’s Humonics- Henry’s Theme.
Seems weird I know but I just love this tune, it lifts me out of a miserable mood as soon as I here it on the TV.
The other tune was the instrumental version of the Titanic theme tune.
I just needed to here this today and it takes me to a peaceful place in my mind.
I love a good organisation video to get inspired by too, and I love watching ones from Do It On a Dime Channel. Here is her newest video to help clear up those small untided spaces.
What videos and music to you love to watch on rainy days on at the weekend, I would love to here from you.

I have started to Home Educate Henry, my son, to help get him ready for when he starts school in September.
For me it is been a bit of struggle as I lost my job just before Christmas, but getting by the best I can. I always get so apprehensive on Wednesdays and Fridays because I have to get up at 6:30am to get Henry at Nursery for 7:30am.
I have been watching Call The Midwife and The Voice, which I am loving at the moment. I can’t get into Dancing on Ice, I watch my favourite which is Cheryl Baker than turn onto something else.
I am having a change around at home at the moment changing our living room around, and taking a piece of furniture from downstairs to upstairs, I will take some photos and post on my Seasonal Clear up page, on my main site, Carriesrealworld.com
Once it is all complete and post them tomorrow or over the weekend.
My hubby and I’s plan of watching a film in the evenings, didn’t last long we kept getting so tired and then stopping the film halfway through.
Anyway gonna get on now and have some lunch soon, I will post again next week.

Today my mum took us to see my brothers new place, and now I am home, catching up on errands.
My husband and I have been checking out some movies and I watched Skull Island.
Definitely would recommend, an excellent film.
I am loving the new song by Paloma Faith song called “Guilty”.
It has been a good 2018, and begun filming again for my Youtube channel. A new Day in life vlog coming again soon.
Sunday’s I use the day to catch up on bits and bobs, and watching some old films and a bit of football in the afternoon.
What do you do on a Sunday? I would love to hear from you.

Friday some people will be clock watching for their final day at work to finish so they can get ready for the weekend ahead.
For me I look forward to spending time with my husband and my son. I do like my Wednesdays and Fridays as it is time for myself, and I use it as a way to catch up on my projects like my new book which is soon to be published, I will let you know when and catch up on my blogs.
Fridays was at one time the day I would go out for the evening, when I worked up in London, and would do the same sometimes on a Saturday or Sunday, as I would follow a rugby team.
I like how my life has changed, sometimes it can feel sad that it has, but I like how my life is now and the people who are in it. It is my day to catch up on my “to do’s” and chill as it is the end of the week.
How do you like to spend your Friday I would love to hear.

The year 2017 has been a funny year which whizzed by as soon as we landed in January and no doubt 2018 will do the same.
The year started off badly with my anxiety getting the better of me and I ended up in hospital and then I lost my job at the end of 2017. On the brighter side I now ready for some new beginnings and the new year is a good excuse for a fresh start.
I have made a few new years resolutions, if you didn’t read my last blog, my first one was to keep up to date with my emails as they do get out of hand, second is to lose some weight as I have put on some extra pounds, so keep up to date with my fitness and last to film again for my Youtube channel.
I think cutting them down to four makes it more easier to follow and achieve.
How was your 2017?
What are your resolutions for the new year ahead?
I would love to hear from you.

It is two days since Christmas and I can already feel the relief that this year is all done. Well almost. Next it will be new years.
I try to avoid the shops this time of year because how busy it all gets, just too many people, and a lot of rushing around.
I just want to take it easy post Christmas and make the most of the time I have with my family and husband.
I also like to have like I do from Autumn to spring is have a clear out. Today it was clearing out my inbox to one of my google email accounts. It just gets so out of hand.
It feels good to have a clear out and I have decided, my first new years resolution, to go through my emails weekly and have regular clear out so it doesn’t pile up. I will be making more resolutions as I get nearer to the new year.
So how do you feel after Christmas? Are you like me and relieved?
Do you make new years resolutions? what are they?
I would love to hear from you.
