Hi all once again, sorry I have been mega busy these last week or so. Brief overview of my week since my last post. I have been to mothers, got my hammock and sleeping bag for camping (win) and spent some quality time with friend.
Moving into today, I worked the afternoon (didn't get up till 12 lol) and then met up with my old pal Mike, went to Cult for a beer and pool, then back to mine and I was cooked up sushi, stake and pork belly! Wicked day. Looking forward to a day chilling tomorrow and then an evening with Megan at the Cinema :) Bring on the final showing of Transformers!!!

Day 9: 4th August
So a very quick one today. I am still down at mums so there is all the fun of the kids etc. that I wont go into, however today I had a picnic down on Frinton Greensward with the family, made wooden tent pegs with my Granddad and went shopping with Mummy dearest.
I don't have much time on the computer today so I will have to leave it at that but hopefully another good day ahead tomorrow :D
WAVES! XX

Day 8: 3rd August
Hey There
So today was a good day. First of all I was picked up by my friend Tasha and her son Justin to take me home for a BBQ on the beach! On the way back we met up with our other friend Becky and then grabbed food and caught up. Got to the beach about twelve and chilled in the sun for a time and continued to catch up (its been a while). At around four thirty we sparked up the BBQ and proceeded to smoke out every other person on the beach either making them feel sick or hungry, either way they mostly cleared out so we could eat in piece :D The BBQ itself was left mostly to me (it is the man's job after all) and we ended up eating sooooo much!!! It was awesome.
During the day we were also visited by my mum and little siblings as well as my Granddad, Cousins Lisa and Steven, my Aunt Julie and their two dogs! Soooo cute! anyway after all the fun and other bits and bobs we did in the evening I decided to camp in my mums garden in the tent the kids had put up to sleep in (they lasted just shy of 30 mins before getting scared and heading in doors lol)
That was my day, and I cant actually think of anything negative about it. :)

Some Helpful Advice
Day 8 and the first day of week 2 doing this blog. I have a little confession to make, I have been keeping a juxtaposed journal to this blog of happiness which contains all my concerns and day to day worries. I suffer from acute anxiety attacks and have done for a very long time, the journal helps control these and the reason I'm sharing this with you all is because it really does help and I feel anybody who suffers anything ever remotely like this then this information could really help! OK so psychologically the way it works is that your brain is hard-wired to remember bad things, its how we learn "don't touch that, it burnt last time", "don't jump from this hight you will brake something", "Stop cooking ants with a lighter and aerosol because it will blow your face off" etc.
When you worry about something you think the worst, things keep running through your head on a continuous loop eventually snowballing out of control. You try to push these thoughts to the back of your mind but in doing so your subconscious pushes back twice as hard thinking its trying to protect you. If you write these down however something triggers in the brain (not sure what) but it's like your brain knows that the information has been stored somewhere and it allows it to pass, not to mention the victimless rant you just had at a piece of paper.
This simple 5 minuet exercise has stopped so many worries, I could see myself spiralling out of control again and simply by putting pen to paper it stopped it dead like a runaway wheelchair to the side of a bus.
Hope this helps someone out there :)

Day 7: 2nd August
Hi All! OK so today was a vast improvement on yesterday! I met up with an old friend of mine who I met back at the beginning of the year (school year). We hung out all day through untill around 1am the next morning watching films and TV. I managed to introduce yet another sole to the amazing Archer! These guys should be giving me a cut seriously lol.
We had Domino's which I know is kind of a bad thing for me but it was still lovely and t proved to me that my eating habits have changed so much that I can only handle about 2 medium slices without feeliong full where as in the past I could easily eat a whole large!!!
Anywho I am off to my home town Walton on the Naze tomorrow for a much needed get away. BBQ with old school friends Tasha and Becky and then at mums until I can be bothered to go home :)
See you all tomorrow :D x

Day 4/5 30th - 31st July
Amazing 2 days! First of all spent most of day 4 with Mike and Spud just hanging out having a laugh, went for a late night road trip, watched sunshine and chopper :) and then on day 5 I was invited to Mikes for the first time to meet his lovely dogs, one of which is half cyborg and the other in a cruel twist of fate is allergic to cats! anyway we played some games, Sonic Generations, Splinter Cell etc and then after all that I went home for a well deserved sleep in my bed :D
