Motivational Monday

The main reason I write motivational Monday posts is to have a reminder each week to myself to be grateful for something and to keep me going when things seem crappy. I list the things I'm happy for  this week too as it would be so easy to write 100 things that happened that I'm angry about. People find it easier to see the bad in things rather than the great, if I list these once a week I'm sure it will get stuck in my head one day to always look on the bright side of life *whistles*.

This week I want to remind myself and others that no matter how many times you may fail or get rejected, always get back on the horse and try again.

A  quote I really like is "If someone tells you no, you're asking the wrong person"

This means to always strive for what you desire no matter how disheartening rejection may be and not to give up. 

My biggest motivation is my mum. The one who's always on the other end of the phone when I cry from the stress of  life and encourages me to get on with it. She supports me every day and I'm very grateful to her.

This week I'm happy for:-

1. Taking dogs for a walk at 7pm and it still be baking hot!

2. A lazy sunday with Dean  spent watching films

3. Winning V.I.P tickets to meet Tanya Burr next Wednesday! :D

4. Positive feedback from a job interview

5. How my cat meows in reply to almost anything you say

Hope you all have a lovely week!

14 Signs You're Turning Into Your Mother

Us women have all had that moment when you laugh hysterically or shout "Oh my God!" and you instantly think, OH CHRIST I just sounded like my mother.

There seems to be a lot of negativity involved in this realisation of growing into the woman who loved you and raised you and no wonder we're turning into them, they were our  very first female role models.

In some cases it seems turning into your mother can be detrimental! There's been times when my sister and I would say to our mum, "You're turning into Nanny!" after she has a good nag at us or insists a cup of tea will solve all problems and she will get so offended. 

If you're like me and suspect you're heading down the path of no return, there are obviously going to be plenty of similarities that a mother and daughter might share and some signs to look out for. 

1. You'll pick up the same dress in Primark. The look on her face will be of pure joy, you on the other hand will inwardly curse when you realise you have the same bad taste

2. You inherit some of her annoying habits like using flossers on the sofa while watching TV and thinking nothing of it

3. You insist on getting a drink for anyone who walks through the door

4. No food goes to waste. It's all split into freezable containers because "that'll do us another meal"

5. You make your bed to the same standard that of a hotel. Plush Cushions and blankets included.

6. You start buying every reduced item in Tesco in Bulk. 'OMG Colgate is only £1.00 lets buy 10!'

7. You start nattering to yourself when your'e wandering round the house trying to find something you misplaced.

8. You don't recognise any of the celebrities on the news

9. You carry round an extra pack of tissues "for emergencies"

10. Those younger than you tell you the TV show you watch is "boring"

11. You check the travel news before heading out on every journey.

12. You can't understand the concept of starting a night out drinking after 10pm.

13. You cannot read your phone screen unless you hold it at nearly arm's length away from your face.

Sometimes it may even happen that you're mother is trying to turn into you.

14. She is more up to date with social media trends and texts you using abbreviations.

"Hi K8. wuu2? luv u lots."

Gotta love 'em for trying though.
