Feeling quite good today 😊 I did a few jobs this morning I needed to get done then made myself go to the gym. I did 30 mins on the treadmill listening to @thescriptofficial I got a bit carried away at one point marching along to Paint The Town Green 😂I love that song so it was really hard to resist singing along. I also went on the exercise bike for 10 mins, did some weights machines and the dreaded air bike which I find really tough. I did it though! Home for a quick lunch (I love cheese and apple together is that weird?) then will take the dogs out for a rainy walk in a minute. Then going OUT out tonight 😀 hope you’re having a lovely day! If you listen to music while you’re working, walking or exercising what do you like to listen to?
Just saying... #mayhavedyedmyhair #pinkhaircolor #pinkhairdontcare You know sometimes you think about doing something but then you’re not sure... Well I say go for it, life’s too short and you never know what’s round the corner - and you never know you might wish you’d done it sooner 💖
Wow it’s Friday already!! Where did the week go? I’ve got about 10 stone to lose before next week so I can find a dress to look ok on me for my work Christmas party 🥳🎉🎄 just kidding 😁 yummy vegan sausage, tomatoes, sweet pepper and Mixed leaves for breakfast this morning - feeling good on the inside radiates out right?!! Work today, gym tomorrow and going to get those Christmas lights out 🤩 Have a lovely day everyone 😃 #healthybreakfastideas #healthybreakfastclub #veganbreakfast #vegansausage #vegansausages #saladforbreakfast #lifestyleblogger #lifestyle #discoverunder1k #discoverunder500 #fridayfeeling #fridayfeelings #friyayvibes #surreyblogger
Happy autumn days! Summer is my favourite season but love the autumn colours and obvs love these two 💕💕 we’ve had Ellie six months now and she’s changed so much from a sad shy withdrawn rescue dog to a happy beautiful affectionate confident pet 💖 #rescuedogs #springerspanielsofinstagram #autumnwalk

This little fella decided to have a munch on some fallen bird seed this morning! He was up the tree earlier and I hope he’ll stick around for a while 😀 . . . . . #whitesquirrel #wildlifephoto #wildlifephotography #squirrels #squirrelsofinstagram #surreyhills #surrey #villagelife #villagelifestyle
I’m really loving avocados with my breakfast at the moment 🥑 this morning a I had a plate full of baby salad leaves, mushrooms, bacon, baby tomatoes and half an avocado, with olive oil and squeezed lemon - yum!! I didn’t realise how good avocados are for you but they contain so many nutrients. Someone recently told me that if you could only eat one food, avocados would be a food you could survive on. Hmmm I think that would be taking it a bit far 😂 . . . . . #avocado🥑 #avocados #avocadolove #healthyfood #healthybreakfast #healthybreakfastideas #nutrition #nutritiousfood #lifestyleblogger #lifestylebloggers #blogging #mondaymotivation #mondaymonday #surreybloggger #foodie #tryingtobehealthy #tryingtobethebestme #discoverunder1k #sunraintea
Pretty stunning eh? I’d love to say these flowers are in my own garden, but they’re not! They were in the gardens at Chartwell last weekend. Saying that we have still got roses, mallow, Californian lilac, hebe and saliva in flower, so still looking ok. I love the summer but I do love the colours of autumn and hey now Halloween is done surely we are looking forward to Christmas!!🎅🏻 I haven’t got a single card yet for Christmas but i know some people have bought pressies, how are you doing? . . . . . #chartwell #christmasgifts #howisitnearlychristmasalready #garden #sunraintea
Last night I slept for more than three and a half hours for the first time in SOOO long. 😀😀I’m so happy that this morning I actually feel ok - in fact I feel alive! I’m not aching as much as usual and don’t feel tired!! Win win as far as I’m concerned. I’ve just had a lovely breakfast of bacon and avocado on toast with a glass of orange juice and I feel like I can tackle the world 💪Sleep is so important isn’t it and lack of sleep affects so many things. I feel blessed for a decent nights sleep and am looking forward to the day ahead 😀 I hope you have a good day today 💖 How well do you sleep? . . . . #happyday💕 #happyfeeling #happyfeelings #sleepwell #sleepwellness #hashimotosdisease #hashimotosthyroiditis #theinvisiblehypothyroidism #hypothyroidism #insomniaproblems #insomniasucks #feelingreat #feelingblessed🙏 #feelingawake #positivevibes #positivityonly #positivityblogger #positivity #positivethinking #positivethoughts #whatadifferencesleepmakes #sleepmakesyoufeelgood #discoverunder1k #discoverunder2k #discoverunder500 #lifestyleblogger #blogginglifestyle #surreyblogger #surreyblog #sureybloggercollective
