This week marked 2 years since I packed up all my crap into boxes (I am not gonna lie there was a lot of it - seriously why do you save some stuff) and me and Adam moved into our first home together.
It honestly thought that moving in with Adam would be easy. Don't get me wrong, the us living together bit is a breeze cuz ya know I'm quite fond of him and getting married and stuff but the other side of it - boys be crazy! I thought growing up with a brother who was practically the same age I would be totally ready for all the bad habits and the boy stuff but heck - its nothing! They have a lot of sneaky little habits and things that nooooo one knows! So here we go!

When it his turn to cook you'll probably end up getting a take away
Adam is terrible for this! I do most of our cooking - mainly because I'm home from work first but on the days Adam has off in the week I normally ask that he cooks since he has been home all day. This normally turns into the question of "Fancy a takeaway" or "come on I'm taking you out for tea" which makes me want to face palm every time. The worse thing is Adam is not a bad cook - he's just lazy.
Your days off are not your own
Remember the days when you could sit on a Saturday or a Sunday and just watch spend all day watching back to back episodes of Greys Anatomy. Yeah thats not gonna happen anymore. I seem to spend most of my weekend running around doing bits and bobs. Tidying the house, Running errands in town, food shopping. All this said don't expect the boy to consider the same. They seem to think their days off are for 10am lie ins and spending all day on the PS4.
They really don't care about interior design
You spot a gorgeous new rug or a cushion or a picture, anything remotely decoratey and its like "yeah its nice" - Ive come to learn they are just not interested in that kind of stuff and 9 times out of 10 will just say its nice to keep you happy.
You'll have to head lock them to get any colour in your life
Adam is a stereotypical boy. When we were choosing colours for rooms with both houses he couldn't understand why every room couldn't be blue.
Nothing is ever where it should be
Boys have no damn concept of putting anything in its proper home. Have the juice out of the cupboard to make a drink? Still on the kitchen side... Buy him a box to keep his PS controllers in... would rather leave on the coffee table... and won't even get started on the state he leaves the sofa cushions in!
When things are not where they should be you'll be expected to know where they are
Get your crystal balls out girls... I'm constantly getting asked the question "Do you know where my ... is" to the point where I have just started rolling my eyes and ignoring him!
I could probably go on all day. And as much as all these things drive me crazy, weirdly you learn to live with them. Im sure Adam could probably write an equal list about me.
What are the things you lot picked up about living with a boy???

Hello my lovelies!
How are we all??
So its official.. I did it.. I finished my course! Wooo! Yesterday I clicked submit on my final assignment and ah man did that baby feel good! I'm not gonna lie, the last 12 month has been hard. I don't honestly think when I decided to apply for this course just after christmas last year that I knew what I was letting myself in for. Well for a start I honestly never thought I would get on the course in the first place. The course itself is the Mary Seacole Programme which is run through the NHS leadership academy and is a Post Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Leadership. I wanted to do something since my degree is in ICT and I have no formal management qualifications at all (unless you count my teaching degree which they don't) so I looked to this. It was funded by the hospital I work for so I figured what harm was there in applying - they only offer 25 places across the west midlands so I wasn't hopeful. Then I got a place. There were times I wanted to give up. Times I had to sacrifice things I wanted to do but sitting here at the end of it feels great and I am so glad I stuck with it.
Its just under 10 weeks now till we get married (9 weeks and 6 days - not that I am at all counting) - I can not quite believe how quickly it is now coming around. I had my first hen party with the girls from work last week - what a fab night - those ladies certainly know how to spoil a girl - and I am all excited for my next one with Adam's family in Sheffield in 2 weeks (it was wayyyy easier to do his family in Sheffield then everyone here seperately as the numbers were getting mental) - plus i get to spread out the celebrating.
Now all that work is out of the way I am hoping that I will start to get a bit more me time! Like time I can sit and blog - man I have missed you guys! I have finally found myself perking back up my love for blogging again - not that it ever went away completely but I feel like my spark is back. I can't wait to finally have the time to sit and enjoy things like blogging. Ive just spent the last hour watching youtube videos while I had a lovely soak in the bath with a lush bath bomb and a face mask! It really is the little things!
Anyway my lovelies! Have a fantastic week :)
