2015 Bucket List

The So instead of resolutions this year I have decided to do a 2015 Bucket List of things I want to do this year.

Meet The Moody Blues
In June I'm going to see a band with my parents called The Moody Blues. This band has been around since the 60s and well the band members are all in their late 60s/early 70s.
My dad is a massive fan and in turn so am I. The first time I went to see them I was five and I haven't missed a UK tour since.
This year James will be coming with me to see them he has been listening to them since before he was born when I would play some of the songs to him as a bump.

Learn to Drive
I have been saying this since before James was born, but I have decided 2015 is the time I finally bite the bullet and do it!!

Buy a House
Since I am turning 30 this year and Andy 33, we have decided its time to finally put down some roots and buy our first family home.
We will have been married 4 years this March, but will have been a couple 7 years come August.
Plus James is due to start nursery school in September, so it would be nice to have put down some roots and not have to worry about paying out rent and worrying incase a property might get sold from under us.

So that's my three goals for 2015. Let's see next January if I have manage to complete them!!!

#snaphappybritmums January

Here's my first post of January  2015 #snaphappybritmums photo challenge days 1 to 10. 

Day One the promt was "one" so my photo was James at one day and one year old.

Day Two the promt was "Nature" so for nature I posted a photo of the apple tree in my parents garden I grew from a pip when I was a child.

Day three prompt was "Colourful" so our photo was the bright orange play doh that got dried out and I managed to fix it with water.

Day four prompt was "Me Today" so here is me not looking my best 

Day five the prompt was "8am" and this was my view at 8am James watching the end of noddy in toy land. One of his favourite TV shows.

Day six promt was "frost/snow/ice" we didn't actually have any today so I found an old photo I took on a cold winters morning walk of a frozen River Wansbeck.

Day seven prompt was "looking down" this was the view looking down at our lounge floor this morning after the bomb aka James hit!! 

Day eight prompt was "I'm reading" so a screen grab from my kindle app of the front cover of the latest 

Katie Piper book - Beautiful Ever After.

Day nine prompt was "Great Outdoors" this was James on his second birthday on the slide at York Railway Museum.

Day ten prompt was "countryside" this was taken in Dublin in June 2008 outside the hotel I was staying at.

Week one 365 a photo for every day of the year days 1-3/365

So here is the first week of the 2015 365 a photo for everyday of the year challenge.

Day One - James climbed up onto my knee for a cuddle and fell asleep. This does not happen very often anymore so I take advantage of the sleepy cuddles when I can. 

Day Two - My boys. James and his Daddy after James woke from his nap. 

Day Three - James on his pad watching little baby bum.

See you next Sunday for the first full seven days!!!

365 a photo for every day of the year!

I really enjoyed seeing some of the photos in the 2014 challenge. Seeing as I only started blogging in May 2014 I wasn't able to take part but it's 2015 a new year and I'm ready to start the challenge!!

Look out for my first 7 days worth of photos next week!!!

#snaphappybritmums

The photos will be posted to my Instagram account so check @mrshockallz for my daily images!!!

Good Bye 2014

Well 2014 is all but over and I for one am so glad!

This year didn't start out the best, my lovely great aunt died at the end of January. She had taken ill at start of December and we knew she didn't have long left.

Then we lost my nannie end of May, well that completely destroyed me as I was so close to her and James absolutely adored her.

But on a happier note I started this blog and have made so many new blogger friends.

2014 ends on a good note though as my best friend is making me an auntie end of May and I'm so excited for her and her husband. They are the best aunt and uncle to James and he absolutely adores them.

2015 well I hopefully we will be buying a house and have just had a mortgage agreed in principle. So its time to start house hunting so we can finally lay down some proper roots for James especially as he is due to start nursery school in September. And of couse get the dog we have been wanting since we got together!

March will see our 4th wedding anniversary and then just after James turns 3 we will be celebrating 7 years together.

April is a big month for me as I turn thirty eeek!!!

So its good bye 2014 and Hello 2015!!!
